And this girls Ia why you should not test early please learn by my mistakes 😂😂😂

@Sjhigs those are pretty clear lines for this early on though🤞🏼
All this waiting round is agonising isn’t it!! X

@polejunkie im having a retail therapy day today 😂 that'll definitely pass the time for me good luck with the test 🍀 xx

@Sjhigs fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

I got stark white BFN this morning so that's 2 failed transfers with top quality embryos. Clearly something else is wrong so will be getting DNA fragmentation test in September and going to try and push to see if they can do any other tests on me. Suspect it is maybe my adeno/endo and I don't even have my initial appt for that till September. So looks like we won't be going again till October/November now. This process is just so so long.

@Narwhal88 how many dpt are you? Is there still time (sorry can’t remember when you OTD is?) Sorry it seems like it hasn’t worked out again this time. I agree this process is super long and drawn out and completely out of our control. Definitely wise to have further tests to see if you can identify a problem or take a different approach. Sending love, although nothing really helps at this point x

@Sjhigs hope they continue to get darker!
@Narwhal88 so sorry, good idea with the dna frag. Endo has a lot to answer for doesn't it. I hope you're ok ♥️

@narwhal88 I am so sorry lovely I was so sure I would be seeing a positive test from you 💙💙 my heart goes out to you.

@sjhigs its definitely getting darker :)

@Narwhal88 I’m so so sorry, sending lots of love 💕

@Sjhigs it’s looking good! 🤞🏻 I’m definitely not testing too early, I’m convinced it hasn’t worked anyway so I just need a definite answer when I do test.

@polejunkie sorry to hear you’re feeling rough, it sounds awful, but hopefully you haven’t got covid and it’s just a regular cold! 🤞🏻 Take it easy this weekend and put your feet up! 💕

Thank you all ❤️ still rooting for you! Good luck to those also in the tww.

@polejunkie I'm 11dp5dt so I think it's conclusive by this point. OTD is Monday so I'll do the clinics test then just to close it off.

Hi everyone

Been following this thread for a while with everyone's journeys so thought it was about time to join the Donkey bus rather than snooping 😂

I'm 34 turning 35 in Sept which is a bit scary in itself never mind with this going on 😳. TTC since October 2019
Me or husband have never had a child or BFP ever. Been together now 13 years (I think 😂) married almost 3 . Had bloods done at the doctor in April this year which have all came back fine and husbands SA is super sperm basically (140 mill per ml, motility 65% and Morphology 5%) which is great but makes me worry on my side even more. Rough day today with AF arriving after some different symptoms this week 🙄. She's a d**k 😂.

Glad to see the progress some of you are getting with your treatments 💕.

Wanted to ask about AMH tests? I've only had 21 day bloods so AMH wasn't included in this. Is that meant to be done with 3 day bloods or is that somethinf fertility clinic goes into after scans? But lost with where they come in.

@narwhal88 I'm sorry I have no experience of endo to even help we were unexplained I think my tube kept getting blocked had it cleared the once... Hoping and praying for some positive later results for you my best friend never got a positive on a urine test for 2 weeks and it was really faint xxx

Just been catching up with last few messages and so sorry @Narwhal88 💕 heartbreaking

@Belle2210 welcome to the donkey group! 😊 good to hear you are starting to get tests done! AMH is usually done once you’ve been referred to fertility clinic by NHS or if you go privately, they’ll do a scan, semen analysis and AMH test before your private consultation. Hopefully if all your tests so far have come back ok, your GP will refer you and you’ll get further tests & scan done then through the fertility clinic!

@crazycatlady1981
Thanks for your reply. I'm currently waiting on an app for Ultrasound and Hycosy but AMH was never mentioned in the video call app so will see what happens from there. Been told it ll be Sept earliest so hoping it speeds on. With an NHS clinic just now. GP test April and fertility video call June so 🤞 it might even be earlier

@Narwhal88 that truly sucks, I’m so sorry, hope you’re ok?
@crazycatlady1981 how you doing? Feeling positive or negative? I flip between the two 🥺
Welcome @Belle2210 x

Thank you @Belle2210 @CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker @Sjhigs @polejunkie I'm ok I think, holding it together for now. Like we all know with infertility, it's not the one failed cycle, it's the not knowing if it will ever happen or when. 💔
Will still be popping on as I want to see how you all get on but won't be as often.

@narwhal88 yep it's not just the pain of now it's the reminder of the journey you have been on the the journey that's yet to come 💙💙💙

Aww @narwhal88 I really hope you are OK love ❤️

@Sjhigs how are you? Enjoying your break away? Hope you didn’t spend too much during your retail therapy session yesterday 🤭 x

@polejunkie yes I'm doing fine another flipping Michael kors bag 😂 x

@Sjhigs 🤣🤣🤣🤣 strong test today? Not long til OTD eeeeek x

@polejunkie yes it's a little darker today but felt absolutely nothing yesterday again so still have the fear 🙈 mine isn't until the 19th 🤦‍♀️ When's yours x
