@Daniki I’m fairly certain I ovulated this time as my boobs are really quite sensitive and getting niggly pains. Some months I don’t get them so don’t think I actually ovulate every time.

Just looked back at them and I the second is quite a lot darker. Although my first peak was evening and second stronger the next morning, so would probably be a really awkward time in the middle of the night 😅. We covered for both so let’s see!

Haha my girl math was exactly the same 😂 x

@Daniki can’t wait to see a nice glaringly positive test update from you 😍.

I’m either 4 or 5po, depending if I go off my first or second peak. They were both quite strong so I’m not sure which to go by. Think the second day was stronger so probably more like 4.

@whatdoyouthink123456 nope not yet. I can’t be trusted after I reach 7dpo though, although I know it’s near impossible I’ll start testing then 😂

Still feeling quite relaxed and hoping for a miracle. It will be short lived as this time next week I’ll probably be fuming and waiting for AF 😅.

@whatdoyouthink123456 oh no! How traumatic too. Ectopics really scare me! I think if you have a Supportive partner it makes all the difference, I haven't found it too bad thankfully but we were lucky in the sense we got 6 (now 4) embryos on ice, and both transfer have took unfortunatley lost the first at 8 weeks in October so hoping this one works out. 🙈 I am armed to teeth with meds this time around!

@Daniki

Oh sorry, I didn't realise this was IVF. How exciting, and sounds really positive 🤞🏻

How have you found the whole process? I did ivf years ago with an ex partner and it was awful and basically ended our marriage. It's put me off trying again.

But I don't know if it would be different with my new partner. We conceived our son naturally very easily and I was hoping number 2 would be the same, but over 2 years later, We'v only had 1 ectopic 😩

@whatdoyouthink123456 god be going into year 3 now! Our first was conceived no issue but plenty of issues since 🤣 we actually started IVF last year this was our second transfer 🤗

whatdoyouthink123456 · 08/02/2025 13:49

@Daniki this is very exciting! I really hope this is it for you 🤞🏻

How long have you been trying for? X

whatdoyouthink123456 · 08/02/2025 13:49

Daniki · 08/02/2025 13:49

whatdoyouthink123456 · 08/02/2025 13:48

Thank you for starting a new thread.

A bit disappointed with the GP today as I had asked about starting some investigations and have been told to wait a further 6 months even though we have been trying for the last 12 months

Oh no way that’s ridiculous! So sorry they’re not being more helpful in this. I always thought it was the year mark they’d start investigations no matter what circumstances?
I’ve said it a few times but I really do think it’s pot luck who your GP is, so unfair!

Would you consider private investigations? X
