Bored of this bollox. Sixth cycle of properly TTC, 11th month since deciding to let it happen. Did the Hertility testing which flagged a few issues, though my AMH is exactly where it should be. Blood and sperm tests for us at the GP next week and a fertility clinic referral is being arranged 💁Anyone else at the 1DPO mark for this cycle? Want to come hang out and moan?

If you're ordering online go for the First Response ones - these: https://amzn.eu/d/07mmZEhH

They're the best for reliable results!

Yeah the Clearblue digital tests get a bad rep on here among the early testers because they aren't very sensitive, but as you'd be testing at 15dpo-ish, you'd likely be fine!

Also - search for the Premom HCG test strips on Amazon too. They're bright orange. I've been using those and they're very sensitive/cheap!!

thanks babe I have ordered them! I should receive them tomorrow - I went to my local store and they only had the ones you didnt recommend (the clearblue ones with blue dye)

Cramping is back though, I am back to wearing a pad again just in case because it really feels as if AF was right around the corner it's so annoying, the cramping comes and goes!

I haven't received them yet they should arrive this afternoon

However Im still cramping right now and when I went to the bathroom earlier there was some brown discharge mixed with my regular discharge.
I think it's my AF starting :( I havent started bleeding properly yet, I only see the brownish discharge when I wipe, but the timing (15 dpo) makes me believe that it's AF arriving 1 day late

Ahhh @lily0309 I hope that's not the case. It's so hard to know what it is without taking a test. I had brown discharge on the day my period was supposed to arrive, which turned out to be implantation spotting. Got my fingers and toes crossed that this is the case for you too but try not to be too disappointed if it's not your month. On average it apparently takes first timers nine months to conceive, which is an absolute pain in the arse for us but just the reality of all the biological factors that have to be in sync to make the scientific miracle of conception occur.

Good luck xx

P.S. if you plan on taking the test today, make sure you've held your pee for around 4 hours first, drinking minimal fluids during that hold.

Oh @lily0309 I'm sorry ❤ It's not a nice feeling at all.

Think positive: one month down and so next month's odds are now better, statistically!

Hope AF goes away quickly and wishing you all the luck for cycle 2 x
