@Iris2024 I think I can see something in the second pic too 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 do you have any symptoms or did you just decide to test?

@irongiulia I can easily see lines on both 🥳

Thank you for checking hun, I’ve had twinges and tight pulling in my side, felt nausea this morning and yesterday everything tasted weird and couldn’t taste very good but I think it’s just an evap. Don’t want to get my hopes up 😩

@Iris2024 i can see something on the one with your hand. Mine was a real squinter at 9/10 dpo too but clearer next day. Have you any ovulation strips 😂 I’m tentatively excited for you!

I have got OV tests here, I did the test before leaving house this morning to take my daughter to gym. I don’t think I believe it as I just can’t imagine it and always disappointed. I’m only 10DPO though. Oh I hope this is it 😩 thank you for checking for me xx

I’m hopping on this thread! Trying for our second, this month I tracked quite precisely and am now 10dpo. Didn’t resist testing this morning, cheap one I can see a faint line but the clear blue is pretty clear I think (?) however I’ve had on/off spotting since yesterday so am a bit worried. Will keep monitoring and repeat test 🤞

I can see lines on both! How exciting. Xx

Girls I’m 10DPO and I’ve done a test and I’m not sure if I can see a slight shadow of something. I feel so silly saying this as everything in me has lost hope that I’ll ever be pregnant again. I’ve literally stared at it for the last half an hour and I just don’t know. Why did I test? 😩

Eek, that’s promising!! 🤞🏻

When my GP initially thought it may be PCOS (pre-blood test) she said that if my blood test had determined I was successfully ovulating then the next step would’ve been my partner booking into his GP for tests as it could be him. So I think that’s the best option for you guys. X

Thanks so much for the advice x I’ll ask him to get checked out x I wonder how much it is privately

MyPeppyLimeBear · 22/08/2025 16:02

I have positive ovulation tests yes. I am on metformin for PCOS too. I might suggest my DH get his sperm tested then.

Probably around month 6 I went because I was already diagnosed with adenomyosis in 2020 and wondered if there was any more help for me. She asked me to continue as I was and to come back in a few months. I did and she did blood work, determined I hadn’t ovulated that month and as I had all the other symptoms was diagnosed with PCOS, prescribed metformin and referred to gaeny and fertility clinic that day. I imagine the waiting list is about a year long ha ha.

do you have positive ovulation tests? If so I would suggest your partner goes to see his GP for sperm tests.

@MyPeppyLimeBear aww, sorry. Do you know how much longer you'll be waiting for an appointment?

I’ve been given no indication so I think it’ll be a long wait to be honest x

MyPeppyLimeBear · 22/08/2025 15:54

PeonyPatch · 22/08/2025 15:36

We are on month 7 now. When did you consult with your GP? I’m wondering if I need to go on waiting list for fertility support now

Another stark white negative test this morning and I think I have the start of AF now so declaring myself out :(

anxious about it being 11 months since the start of TTC now. I’m on the waiting list for a fertility specialist but so ready to just start chlomid or something now as I feel I must still not be ovulating.

best of luck to everyone else xx
