Thought the old one was getting a bit full so I'd start a new one. I'll attempt tagging as many as I can

@Lottiepink thank you! It's definitely there so I've ordered a couple more frer to hopefully get a darker line. Hubby can see it which is always a good sign x

@ValidUser - so sorry to hear last month was another chemical. It’s great that you’ve got a plan in place to get on the progesterone. Good luck for this month.

@MrsH497 - I definitely see it!! Keeping everything crossed for you!

Larrydavid · 10/09/2019 21:15

@MrsH497 I can see it! Fingers crossed for you!! X

MrsH497 · 11/09/2019 07:04

Thanks ladies. Seen a thread on here this morning about FRER giving bad water lines so don't want to get my little hopes up too much! Will try again at the weekend and hopefully it's darker by then.

How is everyone today? X

Morning @MrsH497 and all. I'm in the dreaded 2WW still, yesterday and today have felt bloated and stomachache, I wouldn't say cramps but more of just general aches across my whole belly. Could be AF preparing... who knows?! 😂

After this cycle we are away for my next probable O peak and I won't be testing with OPKs which is probably a good thing because it has confused me quite a bit. I'm kinda looking forward to a month of just seeing what happens without knowing anything!

Kiza · 11/09/2019 08:21

@MrsH497 holding onto lots of hope for you for the weekend!
I'm halfway through my TWW and trying to keep myself busy and distracted 😁

Anny27 · 11/09/2019 09:18

@kiza @absa I am in tww...3dpo so a while off from testing but doesnt stop the wondering and symptom spotting haha!

@MrsH497 do you have any symptoms?

@redmarchingband i use femometer and clue apps :)

MrsH497 · 11/09/2019 09:25

@Anny27 not really but tired (works busy though), boobs a tiny bit sore and still got a horrid taste in my mouth but nothing else I could say for sure.

Hi everyone, I came off the pages for a couple of days as felt I was becoming obsessed! I didn't last long away!
I had a blood test last week - first one I have had, and results were back today - I was told all normal except. progesterone, so no ovulation. Gutted and confused. Currently in 2WW and my word I had not appreciated how tough this was! On CD26, DPO6 according to fertility friend.
At the time I wondered if the GP had booked the blood test for the right day - my last 2 cycles were 28 days, one before that was 33. Previous to that, not a clue!
Fertility Friend reckons AF is due 17th with a prediction of a 31 day cycle, and blood test was taken on CD20. So more than 7 days before AF due.
The test says serum progesterone 2nmol/L - abnormal.
Any ideas?

MrsH497 · 11/09/2019 16:26

I caved and I'm sobbing. Did the cheap one saw that was a good line so though sod it and did the digital x

@Whatnext11 - so sorry you’ve not had great results; they can do a lot with that though, to trigger ovulation.
I’d think with results like that, the doc would want to retest to be sure, especially as your cycles vary?

@MrsH497 - congratulations!! Fantastic news 😀 so, so happy for you! X

Sunshine8888 · 11/09/2019 17:10

@MrsH497 that’s such amazing news! Congrats 💕🎉👶🏼 Xx

Whatnext11 · 11/09/2019 17:35

@MrsH496 wow!!! That's amazing!

@ELW85 thank you, I felt better once I had written it all down. Bit of a shock really. The Dr did want two sets of bloods so need to book in again, and I'll make sure I'm happier with the date. Also shocked as I am symptom spotting like mad.
I did get a peak reading on clearblue, and temps seemed to fluctuate as they should so clinging onto that a bit.

Anny27 · 11/09/2019 17:41

@whatnext11 sorry i dont have any experience in that but hope you get your answers 🤞

@MrsH497 congratulations lovely 💚💚 have you told DH?

Whatnext11 · 11/09/2019 17:43

@Anny27 thank you. Very glad of these forums!

flossy12 · 11/09/2019 17:48

@MrsH497 yes yes yes!! 💞💞😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤩🤩🤩 there going to have very busy hospitals next year aren't they 😂😂 we will have a very busy labour thread 😅

MrsH497 · 11/09/2019 17:58

@Anny27 yes and explained all the different sensitivities of the tests and that as I didn't know when AF was due and it was an afternoon wee that it was a good line and bloody good for a digital!

@ELW85 thank you so much lovely I'm an emotional wreck! Just need this to stick!

@Sunshine8888 thank you! I'm in total shock

@Whatnext11 thank you Hun

Xx

@MrsH497 aww congratulations 😊 I will keep my fingers crossed for you🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Whatnext11 so sorry to hear your results weren't what you were hoping for, hopefully it is that they have the dates wrong for you possibly? Do you have a pic of your temp charts for the month?

Whatnext11 · 11/09/2019 18:43

You ladies are so lovely!
I think I have attached my chart. I was feeling pleased as I was feeling relatively 'normal' as clearblue etc seemed straightforward and things haven't been straightforward for a long time. This is cycle 1 TTC for me but in reality we've had to wait years to start TTC.
Hoping it was just a test at the wrong time of the month.
