Hmm ok, tried it again now that it's totally dry but not yet faded and got 0.82. I did do that with the 6pm one last night as well and got 0.98. Not sure whether to read wet or just dried results really 🤷🏻‍♀️ The instructions say five minutes but sometimes the dye hasn't even finished moving over by five minutes. Surely just dried but not yet faded results would be more accurate?

calimc83 · 26/02/2023 12:25

@bringmearainbow I love that! Hope u all have a fab day xx

Well I think there's something wrong with my premom app 🙄 it keeps putting everything at 0.21 and then changes it only if I move the test line away from the test and back to where it was again 🤦🏼‍♀️ so all my tests yesterday that didn't change from 0.21 were probably wrong. I'm just going to have to go on looks I think. This is this mornings test which is def darker than what it has been. I really need to peak today or I'm most likely out for sure

Oh I totally missed this! That does look darker than the ones you've posted before.

Happinessandrainbows · 26/02/2023 13:26

@bringmearainbow wow, amazing 😍

MrsJGrealish · 26/02/2023 13:32

@bringmearainbow I think it's a comparison to the control line which is v dark. God knows I've measured b4 and it's flipped the strip over so what was clearly a 0.2 became 1.2. I just deleted the reading. Enjoy the birthday bash ☺️

TheBirdintheCave · 26/02/2023 17:12

Ok took another test and it's now at least half the darkness of the control. Maybe I missed the peak? Either that it it was another false rise 🙄

bringmearainbow · 26/02/2023 17:44

I am done in 🙈 house full of kiddies is fun but oh so tiring 😂 I haven't done another opk I might do one once ds goes to bed. If it still shows eff all I'm not going to do anymore this cycle there just won't be any point in wasting them. I'll just have to write it off. My temps will tell me when it happens at least

curliegirlie · 26/02/2023 18:14

TheBirdintheCave · 26/02/2023 10:39

Thought for sure this would be a high reading but it's still a 0.7 apparently 🤦🏻‍♀️

Pretty sure you're pretty much there. I've always taken anything like that as positive, as this time round my LH levels seem to rise and fall very quickly.....Good luck!

TheBirdintheCave · 26/02/2023 18:16

@bringmearainbow I'm glad you had fun! Is a takeaway in order now? 😬

TheBirdintheCave · 26/02/2023 18:17

@curliegirlie Here's hoping! Unfortunately I'll be in the dark until my AF comes as the Strep has obliterated my temps for this cycle 🙄

bringmearainbow · 26/02/2023 18:29

@TheBirdintheCave nope a bath and a bottle of wine 😂 I've eaten so much party food I'm not hungry. I do have some work to do but I actually just can't face it I want to relax in the bath 😂 might even stick a few candles on @MrsJGrealish 🙊😂

TheBirdintheCave · 26/02/2023 18:35

@bringmearainbow That sounds amazing 😍 Enjoy!

Indianna2006 · 26/02/2023 19:39

@bringmearainbow hope he had a fab party! Bath and bottle of wine sounds awesome!

Indianna2006 · 26/02/2023 19:42

@calimc83 so only like 2 weeks to wait?! Oh wow haha.
yes I am wondering now if they give me a date tomorrow..nervous to even get a date. How ridiculous is that 🙈🙈
im okay though. Generally feeling fairly well although my iron is low so need to try get that up. Just waiting game now. 5 more weeks at work before I finish.

bringmearainbow · 26/02/2023 19:58

Well opk is nada nothing zilch so I'm going to go drown my sorrows in the bathtub and pray that next month we get a good sticky one 🤞🏼

MrsJGrealish · 26/02/2023 20:10

@bringmearainbow wine candle baths are highly recommended in this house😂 My OPK isn't great either, I think it'll be CD17 now which is a shame coz DH can't get enough of me atm 😂🤷‍♀️ and I don't wanna tire him out too early so have actually feigned a headache tonight..it's a headache wondering where this bloody dark line is

FfoxRedN · 26/02/2023 21:07

@bringmearainbow I'm sorry peak hasn't happened 😒.
@MrsJGrealish now is the time to let DH enjoy his wine baths so he can DTD when it matters 😂.
@TheBirdintheCave i really hope AF doesn't show and instead you get two little lines 🥰.

I'm having a moment, my doctor won't yet prescribe the meds suggested by Prof Brosens. So now I'm debating just trying this month, before I get the meds and before we have a break. It's the outcome 1 making me super nervous.
1: I fall, miscarry again and add another 3 months of pain when I could just wait until after the meds and will kick myself if it's another aneuploid. (Who knows if the meds may work anyway, there's not much evidence they will it's just a cover all bases thing in my head).
2: I don't, never mind, we will wait anyway.
3: I fall and it happens to be a healthy baby by some miracle.

I think this may be the last chance naturally, I am leaning more and more towards IVF with PGTa BUT going this route I am super nervous I won't have enough eggs left and won't respond to the treatment and that's then the end of the road. I know to find out is better but it's all becoming a bit real and can almost see the end of the road heading my way.

I just don't know what to do, sorry for the unload 😣 xxx

MrsJGrealish · 26/02/2023 21:25

@FfoxRedN did the professor write a private prescription??

I mean I'm with you on trying naturally one more time. It's really hard not trying when it's all you want ❤️ xx

bringmearainbow · 26/02/2023 21:58

@MrsJGrealish haha the trusty headache. That is a shame honestly our bodies are being so mean to us all atm 🙄

@FfoxRedN thanks lovely it's pants and I'm sulking I think I'll give myself a couple of days to sulk about it then I just have to get on with it. Ahhh gosh it's so hard isn't it I'm with @MrsJGrealish not trying is so hard it feels like a waste not to try but obviously there's a lot of things to consider xxx

TheBirdintheCave · 26/02/2023 22:27

@FfoxRedN Why won't your doctor prescribe the meds? 🤔 That seems quite cruel of them.

I think in your shoes I'd try one more time and then go for the IVF. I'm sorry you're faced with such a difficult choice ❤️ I can say that once I chose IVF and dealt with all the emotions of making that choice I felt much better and like I could move forwards.

FfoxRedN · 26/02/2023 22:32

@MrsJGrealish @bringmearainbow @TheBirdintheCave thanks for responding so quick 🥰. Basically as it's not a medicine prescribed for that purpose they have to agree a shared responsibility thing, which means blood tests to make sure it won't affect me negatively in a non-fertility way if I go via my GP. I am going to ring the Prof tomorrow though to see if he'll privately prescribe, I've missed taking it this month (as you start CD1) so that was why I was thinking to just try anyway xx

FfoxRedN · 26/02/2023 22:34

@TheBirdintheCave yeah the more I get my head round it I feel better, just so worried about my AMH level being even lower than before and being told it isn't an option. We would look to transfer June/July if that's the route we choose and it's an option for us xx

MrsJGrealish · 26/02/2023 22:43

@FfoxRedN I know hun. My pharmacy is full of sitagliptin but always used by diabetics..let me know if I can help and if you decide to try naturally 🙏 this is your lucky cycle 💕 xx

bunnykins123 · 27/02/2023 06:43

@bringmearainbow argh hun I'm frustrated for you still having low tests! It's so annoying when your body just doesn't play ball. Will you test again today to see if it's on the rise?

@FfoxRedN I'm so sorry to read your update. I don't know anything about the meds they are recommending but I do know with AMH, it can be a bit unreliable. Have you had you AFC checked? It's basically a scan to check how many follicules you have. I had double the amount vs what my AMH predicted! I defo think you should try naturally - I know it's scary but you just don't know if that month is the month you pop out a golden eggie. Obviously the choice is yours but I think I'd be cracking on irrespective of the maybes 💕

ScrantonDunderMifflin · 27/02/2023 06:50

@FfoxRedN I'm sorry it's such a difficult situation. I think I'd try naturally this month if I were you but only you will know what's best ❤️
