11dpo and negative FRER

[akk]

Don't really know why I'm writing this but just had what feels like my 5000th stark white negative test and the crushing feeling hits harder and harder every time.

Everyone seems to be announcing a pregnancy as well this month.

I guess I just wish we knew whether we are just a bit unlucky or whether something is wrong. My cycles are constantly irregular since stopping the pill back in December so assuming something isn't right.

Sorry for the rant, wishing everyone loads of luck!

Sorry to read this, have you tried ovulation sticks and tracking your BBT?
Depending on age the nhs will do investigate tests.
There is a book called it starts with the egg which is also good to help with fertility.x

I'm with you 10dpo and bfn, got tricked by an evap yesterday evening, so woke up so excited and now feeling rather crushed. Don't know why I thought this cycle would be any different to the last 12! 😕

How long gave you been trying?

Thanks for your response. I have used ovulation tests for the last two months and have just ordered a BBT thermometer. A little unsure if it will be accurate for me though as I tend to wake a lot during the night but I'll do some more research 😊

Oh and I'll also order the book, thank you for the recommendation.

Sorry to hear that you are in the same position 😔 I can't imagine how disappointed I'd be if I got an evap, sorry that happened to you.

We have been trying for 7 months but only 5 cycles in that time so a little behind you. Are you UK based? If so are you eligible for some testing now?

Recommend the fertility friend app in conjunction with BBt, OP. There is a charting course on there which is very helpful and well worth doing. BBT and checking CM has really helped me identify my irregular ovulation and try to time things right (still waiting for a sticky bean though)

Thank you for the advice, I'll have a look at the app/course. I really hope you get your sticky bean soon!

@akk yes, so I have shorter cycles so we have been full on trying for 11 months now. But have tried previously just not tracking and had a known health issue then.
Have my referral in last year as i have the health issues, but appointment not until next year! So plodding along until then, hoping for a miracle lol

@missmoosh oh gosh that is a long wait for your referral. I really wish you luck in the mean time, my Mum was mid fourties and using contraception when she conceived me so stranger things do happen!

Have you tried using pre seed? I caught first time with number 2 & 3 using that. Might be worth a try

@PickledScrump ah lucky! Will have a look into it 😊
