Thanks @Newbie0818, I’m 13/14dpo so who knows. Still not sure how my cycles are going to behave month to month so just see how I go! Hope you’re temperature stays up tomorrow!

Totally admire the willpower not to test @xoJellyBean! I made it until this morning, 8dpo. Swear I saw a line after one min but then it disappeared by the time the 5 mins were up. Although I've just done a second IC and the line I thought I could see appeared at the same time and its still there 20 mins later. Needless to say I've ordered some FRERs on prime.

Newbie0818 · 09/11/2020 17:46

@xoJellyBean never give up, it'll happen 🤞🏼 how old are you if you don't mind me asking? I'm 27 :)

@PosiPantsOn thank you! And good luck!

@Neurotic90 exciting!!! Keep us posted and good luck!

Well the doctor just called to give hubby the news about his sperm analysis. Basically, it's all ok apart from the shape of it is slightly abnormal, which can affect conception. So with that and my PCOS, his doctor has referred us both to fertility clinic so we'll wait for that 🙌🏼 I've also now transferred from my useless gp to hubby's gp as he's so much more supportive. He was literally so helpful on the phone and basically said I should have been referred to the clinic months ago, which I'm very annoyed about! But at least it's happening and the ball is finally rolling! And although I'm a bit upset, I'm glad it's actually both of us with an issue as it explains why even though I do ovulate sometimes, nothing has happened in 15 months. Relief. A long journey ahead for us no doubt, but finally something is happening ✨

Thanks @Newbie0818, feeling very nervous and I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

That's good news you'll be referred and feel a bit better now they're taking action to help. Hopefully it takes the pressure off of you both too and glad you have a more helpful GP.

xoJellyBean · 09/11/2020 20:04

Thanks @xoJellyBean

My IC had a darker line this morning, I'm shaking like a leaf!

xoJellyBean · 10/11/2020 10:39

Congratulations @Neurotic90 🤗

Neurotic90 · 10/11/2020 10:57

Thanks!

I still don't trust it, maybe once I've actually missed AF I'll believe it. I've not mentioned to DH yet because he left for work before I tested this morning. I dread getting his hopes up for nothing!

xoJellyBean · 10/11/2020 12:21

@Neurotic90 when is af due??

Neurotic90 · 10/11/2020 13:02

Sunday going by the average luteal phase, but think mine was 11 last month. I'm not sure if that's my usual LP because I've only been temping this cycle.

I keep going back and looking at this mornings test convinced that I've imagined it but nope, it's still there 😂

Pol96 · 10/11/2020 13:06

@Neurotic90 congratulations! 🎉
I had a very, very, faint line at 10dpo with an ic and now I'm nearly 30 weeks so fingers crossed it gets darker over the next few days!

Neurotic90 · 10/11/2020 13:27

Thanks @Pol96. Not long left for you then! Hope you're keeping well and enjoying all the preparation for baby arriving ❤

Pol96 · 10/11/2020 13:38

@Neurotic90 I think my ics started getting darker from 12dpo and by 14dpo I had good lines on frers etc too
It still feels like forever away! All prep is pretty much done, need to wash his clothes and pack a hospital bag for us both.. Hoping the next 7-12 weeks fly by!

Neurotic90 · 10/11/2020 15:07

I'm sure it will fly in now @Pol96.

My frers arrived, couldn't help myself 😂.
