Sorry if I missed anyone lol x

Those others were so clear @ArjaD maybe wait until you are late and retest?

I started what I think is af on Saturday. Minimal anything and more brown discharge rather than red blood but I was light last month. No idea what's wrong probably due to contraception previously.
Hope all you other ladies are okay. Any bfps? 🙏

@Lilliloo29 I know, thinking did I maybe have a chemical, or got extremely unlucky with bad tests 😞 sorry to hear about your af. It may not be though! Maybe it will taper off again 🤞🤞🤞

Hey ladies, just checking in to see how you all are? Have I missed much? I just read a couple of posts, @ArjaD oh I hope your ok, have you tested again? Xxx @Sungirl11 sorry your having a hard time too.xxx
I'm still waiting for an appointment it's been months now, we are trying to avoid getting pregnant until I've seen someone coz I'm too scared to lose another. I'm getting abit frustrated of waiting now though.
Hope everyone else is well xxx

@dizzy85 aw I can't believe they are still making you wait. That's insane. 🤔
Af showed up for me yesterday, three days early. So that super obviously positive Co-op test I got was a dud as everything else had come up negative. Feeling very very low atm.

@ArjaD it's ridiculous isn't it! All because of the virus the whole world has to be put on hold. I'm gonna phone them again today I called about 2 weeks ago and she just said your on a waiting list. I'm annoyed coz I'll be 35 in November and I expected to at least have one child by now. I'm so sorry your feeling really low and that your af came too it's so tough. Do you think it could have been a cp coz some of mine I got positive cheap tests and negative frers and I felt terrible coz the hormones go all over the place. But I've never tried a coop test before either so I dunno what they're like for duds xxx

@dizzy85 I suppose it may have been a cp. No way of knowing now I guess, it's so frustrating. Can't believe they are not going ahead with important stuff like family planning atm. Covid seems to be a great excuse for everything!

@ArjaD it's so shit isn't it. There's so many important things not being done because of it it's wrong, but your allowed to go sit in the pubs etc..I could go on lol but I'm sure your just as fed up with hearing it as I am. Have yourself a nice glass of wine tonight and try relax, is your hubby gonna be around for next cycle?

Aw @ArjaD can't believe that positive test! How awful i'm so sorry!
@dizzy85 welcome back! I find it's ridiculous the wait... totally ridiculous!

Hubs managed to take the sperm test FINALLY and now waiting for results and what ever GP says about it... I find it also ridiculous that the GP is the one dealing with this... 🤦🏻‍♀️ anyways...

I have my fallopian tubes test next Thursday in Spain, i'm so fed up that i am just spending money in tests because i can't see and end to this...

Also our Lab is sick again really poorly so had to do many tests and bill is £3000 🙈 not what we needed right now!! I'm so upset with the vets that have been seeing him ignoring all his pain and symptoms.. 😤😤

@dizzy85 agreed, I feel it's all just an excuse now. Nothing we can do about it huh, I just turned 37 but I do feel lucky I've already got my wee boy running around. That little grumpipants is my best wee pal ❤️
@Sungirl11 oh nooooo poor doggie 😢 you're being put through it too. It's not been the best few months for many of us, time for some good luck to head our way me thinks!

@Sungirl11 aw I hope your fur baby is doing better now poor thing☹️Oh that's so much money too! Have you had the results back for your husband sperm? Are you living in Spain or just going for tests? It takes forever here doing anything!

@ArjaD aw yer at least you got your little best buddy there to cheer you up 😊 are you gonna try again this next cycle? How are you feeling now? I'm just waiting for af to come in a few days, I keep having a feeling that what if I'm pregnant again. Not that it would be a bad thing but I'd be too worried right now until I've had tests. I think it's just my mind playing tricks on me because I'm so used to the tww I think it's just ingrained in my brain lol.

Hi girls!
I had the test done last week, not a nice thing to have done tbh... but anyway.. i'm definitely all good!
Two weeks (almost) his results are not back, they said a week where he took it, and our GP said to call next week as with covid it all takes longer 🤦🏻‍♀️
(Covid excuse)
I am on my fertile week, not sure if i ovulated yesterday or today or when... I got back yesterday from Spain so are trying to BD as much as we can hahah

How are you all doing??

Xx

Hi ladies, sorry been a bit quiet, so busy potty training this wee guy of mine 🤣 who knew it was so stressful! But after just one week he's totally got the hang of it, never would have thought.... But yeah, if you are trying for number one, be warned. Potty training suuuccckkkksssss.
I'm on fertile week starting tomorrow-ish, so we're bd-ing more this week. Think ovulation will be Sunday or Monday.
Covid is an excuse for everything huh?? We're in Scotland so we're no longer allowed to visit family at home 😔

Potty training is something else all together 😂 I did most of the potty training with my younger siblings and my nieces so im up to date with it but its still bad 😂x

@NicoleR14 jeez, you were thrown in at the deep end 😂 was in your neck of the woods the other day. We decided to go for a motorbike ride and went down through the Carron valley and down to Denny 😁
How are you doing? I'm supposed to be in my fertile week atm, app says I should ovulate today but all my opks have come up negative so far been testing for a week. No idea what's happening now 🙄

Hi ladies!
@ArjaD maybe tomorrow? It sometimes goes crazy!

I am on my TWW but i'm not very confident tbh... we only dtd twice and i have no clue when i ovulated 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hubs sperm test came back awful, it says 0% of "good sperm" 🤦🏻‍♀️
On the 5th we have a GP appointment to get told it's bad and hopefully we will be transferred to the infertility team.

How are you @NicoleR14 ??

Xx

@Sungirl11 oh you're joking, so sorry to hear it 😢 How's hubby doing? I hope they get you referred ASAP, at least now you know xxx opk tonight was darker than this morning but still not positive. Hoping to ovulate tomorrow or the day after at least. Body seems all messed up!

@ArjaD I deffo was I helped raise my younger siblings and nieces I think this is how I miss them so much they were like my own baby's lol aww that sounds fun I was in Alness and Cromarty last week with our new camper we actually had a really nice time even though it was so cold! I'm currently on my tww I've been taking kira hormonal balance to help with my mood swings and I've been using preseed we only dtd twice in my fertile window so like @sungirl11 I'm not very confident that we have a chance I presume I ovulated last Tuesday because I had a lot of ewcm which I don't usually get so we dtd that evening so fingers crossed🤞🏼 @sungirl11 awww hun that's horrible how are you both doing? Have they offered any treatment for your hubby?

Well he knew he had slow sperm, this time it said literally 0%. So completely gone!
We are both ok, after all this time we knew something was wrong.
On the 5Th we have a phone appointment and will see what they say...
Xx

Hi all, can I join in! I am 12DPO. I got a faint positive yesterday on FRER (did another thread about this as wasn’t sure it was positive) and also a faint positive on First Response Rapid Result (which is apparently much less sensitive than FRER). Today I have got negatives on Superdrug early detection (meant to be super sensitive, more than FRRR) and clear blue digital. Getting a bit stressed now. Could it be something in my urine reacting with the First Response tests (I’ve had a UTI recently and still being treated for it) rather than pregnancy?! Have attached the First Response and Superdrug tests. My period is due tomorrow (26 day cycle). There might be the tiniest shadowy line on the Superdrug test but cannot be sure.

@Sungirl11 good luck, hope you get referred asap. All this waiting sucks!
@Helen48 hi!! I'm always sceptical these days after getting a positive then a negative on tests last month 🙄 but I reeeeaally hope it's a good result for youu!

Hi @Helen48 welcome!!
It does look positive to me!! But as @ArjaD says i don't want to get too excited as she and Nicole got positives too in the past on those Frers and they were false 😞

Hope it is a bfp for you! Fingers crossed!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Well I got my positive opk last night finally. Two days later than expected, but here's hoping 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Update from me: clear blue digital today says positive! Just shows you need to wait til first day of your period to be sure, especially with short cycles...

Congratulations @Helen48!!!!! I will do the same this month, trying to stay away from early testing!!!!

It’s so hard though! Sometimes I find testing early at least helps manage my expectations when it says negative
