Is anyone in the UK and had investigation for unexplained infertility what happens and what blood work do they do? Will they check all hormones like prolactin? (i am breast feeding) very sure mine is super high as DS2 nurses round the clock he used to nurse every 3 hours in the day and at night once or twice he turned 12 months and separation anxiety has hit and he reaches for me to confort him so he will feed the usual yimes plus extra comfort nursing and at night it is wvery 3 hours or so he wakes up around 4 / 5 times it depends. Even though i am having regula cycles with good Luteal Phase of 13 or 14days i am still struggling to get pregnant. I believe this as I got pregnant within 2 months of weaning DS1. Not ready to wean DS2 but also want to have a baby sooner as I approach 39 very soon.

@MoonLitLavender not personally, did the line have colour or was it grey?

Sorry you're feeling low @PeonyPatch its really tough! Hopefully the doctor will be able to make a plan with you

Thank you Kitty 🐱
me too! It’s just frustrating the whole process and time it takes. My appt isn’t until 16th so it’s almost like another cycle down the drain

MoonLitLavender · 10/09/2025 13:37

Has anyone had any bad indents with one step ultra early strip test? Ive just had a vvvfl and tipped the wee before I could test again 😬

🤞 🤞 I'll update in the morning :)

Anya23 · 10/09/2025 11:55

Fingers crossed for you @summertime94. Implantation can also happen 12dpo 🙈🤞

It’s possible to ovulate up to 48 hours after peak and temp can rise before during or after ovulation maybe you’re only 13 dpo who knows?🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Ec2808unfortunately I am pretty sure, I've been tracking it and got my peak on 25th August and temperature did then rise after although I'm finding it hard to be consistent with the time I take my temperature as ive been waking between 3am and 6am quite a bit

@summertime94are you sure on ovulation date? That really looks like an early positive !!

summertime94 · 10/09/2025 11:30

@HansBanansso weird! I thought I was out for sure on Monday when the spotting started (probably still am out I think though). I don't have any other tests atm just a box of these easy at homes... il test again with fmu tomorrow if my period doesn't arrive overnight!

HansBanans · 10/09/2025 11:25

Re whether it’s too light or not, it really depends on when implantation happened. If you’ve had spotting it could well be implantation bleeding so hcg levels will just be on the rise now 🤞🏻

HansBanans · 10/09/2025 11:25

@summertime94 I can see it, but I know one of the other mumsnetters in the chat had an awful time with these tests. Do you have another brand you can try?

summertime94 · 10/09/2025 11:20

I'm 15dpo and have had spotting the last few days, just did an easy at home test and I think I can see a line but think it is most likely just an indent? Has this happened to anyone else? This was within the allotted time as well

also the line should probably be darker by 15dpo?

@Ec2808 keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏻 spoke to DP earlier and he told me he can see a faint line on the test in the pic I sent him, and he’s run it through ChatGPT who says there’s a faint line too. Gone back and looked at the pic and I can see what they’re both seeing so how feel like I’m in total limbo 🤦🏼‍♀️

sorry to hear you’re having a rough time @PeonyPatch, ttc really take it out of you

PeonyPatch · 10/09/2025 08:57

I’m having a terrible month. We have only dtd once. Planning to again this week. My metformin (for PCOS) resulted in the worst gastro side effects all of last week, it was horrible. I’ve stopped taking it. Also the doctor wants to discuss my blood results with me both my Serum LH & FSH are abnormal (high). Feeling quite depressed about it all if I’m honest ladies.
