TTC December 🎄

Massive congratulations!! That is so exciting!

@Anya23 thank you 😊 I can’t actually believe it tbh - over the past couple of years I’ve had to come on and off mumsnet as always thought my time would never come and whilst it’s always lovely to see everyone else succeed it can be so difficult when your constantly bfn or evaps etc time was against me being over 40 - felt like it was never going to happen - me and husband said we would try up til the end of the year !! Nothing like cutting it fine !! Just hope it all works out now x

Congrats @Tes004!! 😊

@MyPeppyLimeBear just to update - the blue cheapies is still negative for me but look what I got today … 🙏 you get your bfp on a more reliable brand

@MyPeppyLimeBear I’ve tested positive on other tests but these blue cheapies still show negative.
try another brand - I’ve been looking online and lots of people saying these don’t show up til later. Good luck

Period a week late but nothing at all on tests. No idea if or when I ovulated due to PCOS. Perhaps just generally late.

@Tes004I think it does! Tentative congratulations, keep us posted!

@Anya23 yes is defo on the light side but if it’s from missed period I expect it would be atleast 25mui
I wish I had taken more notice of my cycle this month now - I guess I could be more like 10dpo - previously I’ve had the odd positive test but always followed by a stark white so the ic tricking me a few times over the last year but this time it feels real 🤞 top one this morning and bottom this evening 7 hours apart .. think it shows progression??

@Tes004It does seem a bit light but it has to start somewhere - if it gets stronger in 2 days, I wouldn't worry!

Done another one - they said to use from day of missed period so I don’t think they are early detections

Hi @Tes004good to see you again! If implantation happened later, on 9/10 dpo then I think it's a good line!

Good afternoon ladies - I’ve been jumping in and out of threads for months and thought I’d have a few months of not overly thinking things - I did however get my progesterone day 2 and 21 levels checked this month just incase I’m peri menopause- 0.9 day 2 and 40.9 day 21 so pretty good I think 🤔
anyway yesterday done a test and thought I saw something - the kinda line that disappears when you tip it - today I tested and got this .. is this too faint for 11-12dpo ? Scared to believe it

Merry Christmas to all! I got my period on Christmas eve, so I'm hoping we'll be able to start ttc as soon as possible 🤞I made a January thread for those who'll continue this journey

Well my period hasn’t started so assuming that the pain I felt was ovulation pain! Which would have been great but didn’t actually manage to get round to having sex due to the 2 year old being up until 11pm… so think I’m probably out anyway! Period due 3rd Jan if my timings are right.

Is anyone else in the TWW? Or struggling to make time for sex due to poor sleeping children? 😂

Sorry to hear the metformin hasn’t worked. I have PCOS but haven’t had any experience with the NHS ttc pathway so can’t help there but really hope your appointment on Tuesday goes well and they can prescribe something that will help.

Thank you lovely. Yes been on metformin a while, yet to try anything else xx

Sorry I should’ve mentioned I’ve been on Metformin and inositol 6 months already

Slightly off topic hope this is ok to ask. I’m marking myself out this month. Our first NHS fertility appt is Tuesday, I have already had ultrasounds done privately to confirm PCOS.

Has anyone else been through PCOS Ttc treatment on the nhs and can give me a bit of a timeline of appts, what processes they did, how long they took in between etc? I have been told in more than likely going to be prescribed letrozole for a while before trying IVF.

if someone was able to message me (privately if you like) any experiences they have had I’d be so grateful x

I can’t see anything, sorry but I often find that lines look stronger in real life, photos often really struggle to pick up faint ones. Fingers crossed it turns into something!

It’s really hard with PCOS. Have you tried clomid or metaformin yet? Sending baby dust your way

I don't see anything unfortunately @MyPeppyLimeBear
How many CD are you?
Ladies, should we start a January thread soon? I'm hoping we can start trying properly soon although I still haven't gotten my period 3,5 weeks after D&C

Hello lovely ladies. Sending you lots of Christmas baby dust.

just checking if anyone sees anything here? I have mega line eyes and thought I could see a tiny faint mark at first but 10 mins later I can’t see anything now.

(no idea if and when I ovulate due to PCOS - I don’t test anymore as never found a peak and gave up. TTC for 14 months)

I’ve got some cramps going on but haven’t tested for ovulation this month so this could either be ovulation cramps or about to have my period cramps 😂 damn my PCOS and irregular cycle. Feel I might have EWCM so going to make sure I leave time for sex tonight just in case. But will probably be reporting back with the start of my period tomorrow!

So sorry to hear that, I hope that your IVF journey will go smooth!

Unfortunately, after a completely blank FRER this morning (12dpo), I think this was either a faulty test or an evap line that just appeared right away.

I am quite sure I am out this month at this point, so will be taking a break until IVF begins - good luck to you all ❤

I think it looks good @TheSparklyAzureJoker? Are you sure it's an evap line?
