@abcdefg2020
I’m unsure if having 1 tube impacts getting pregnant but I would take a test today if AF doesn’t arrive then you know for sure then ❤️

I’m 12dpo today and had have some really light brown spotting last night, some light pink middle of today and some light brown again tonight. Negatives on tests this morning, but just did a FRER before bed and I see a vvvvvvfl. I did two different FRER to see if it was an indent and it’s on both as well as the fainted line ever on the pregmate one.

Thoughts? 🙏

I can def see the start of something there!! Have you had anymore spotting since yesterday? Maybe take another test tomorrow to see if there's any progression? Fingers crossed for you!!

13dpo today and tests this morning were still pretty faint, did another one this afternoon and there was a decent line on a clear blue, but the digital said negative.

did one more lot tonight and it is a bit stronger! Still spotting though… hoping that stops soon as it’s making me so worried about it being a chemical pregnancy

pic attached is tonight’s test

Arrgghh going out of my mind.

We've been TTC for nearly 2 years after a miscarriage with no luck. I'm due on my period today and am normally like clockwork but nothing apart from a brief moment of cramps this morning and a tiny bit of spotting.

Currently, I am at my parent in laws, unable to test as I don't have any, and in the middle of nowhere, so no shops. Also, we are staying here overnight, and the not knowing is killing me 😂🤦‍♀️

abcdefg2020 · 25/12/2024 19:32

I also want to add I had an ectopic pregnancy at the start of the year and now only have 1 tube, I'm not sure if it affects being able to get pregnant again though x

@abcdefg2020 you can still conceive after an ectopic. Hoping you get the news you want :)

Hoping I can join. I tried to start a post of my own but no replies as of yet so jumping on here 😊

I ovulated around 3rd December. Loads of ewcm, solid smiley on clear blue ovulation etc. Ewcm dried up within a day of the solid smiley. I still have no period and negative pregnancy tests so unsure where I stand at the moment. I kind of just want AF to arrive so I can start the next month trying again.

Tentatively saying hello 👋

Hi Ginger 😊
Same I made posts and no action 😄 also similar.. I ovulated around 9th Dec, period late 2/3days, I have had cramping and nausea the last 2 days, everything I wee I expect to see something but nothing!
i did a cheap pregnancy test and it appeared negative.

this is a first for me I am never late! I follow the flo app too, so completely confused 🫠

any updates with you? 🎄

Hey nope nothing. I ovulated around 4th December. It's now 26th & still absolutely fuck all down there. It's over a week late. I would be so grateful to see my period just so that I can start a new cycle. I have got the doctors on 28th so we will see how that goes. Hope you get either AF or a BFP soon !

SCK2024 · 27/12/2024 09:18

It arrived this morning 🫠 I was totally convinced this month!
I hate it when our bodies take over our minds!
It was only there when I peed and wiped, just have to see how I am throughout the day.
i am still having the worst cramps, which I never ever suffer with and this is day 4 of them, so tired and nauseous today too x
lets keep in touch :)

Hfair1 · 27/12/2024 12:20

I’m 14dpo today still with very faint positives, but my hcg test came back from yesterday at only 5. I’ve also been spotting very light brown since 11 dpo, and first had a vfl on 12dpo.

not looking good 😌

SCK2024 · 27/12/2024 14:18

I have the lower abdo cramps- constant for 3 days now and nausea, noticed small amount of blood in the toilet after I had a pee, and just now when I went for a pee, nothing major, is stringy Implantation bleeding a thing mucus salmon pink?

bsummer · 28/12/2024 19:22

I had a missed miscarriage November 2023 at 17 weeks , and have been TTC ever since ! I was almost 100% certain that AF was on the way due to cramps and all other symptoms ive felt every month for the last year . I have just taken a cheap asda test thinking it would be negative , and I can't believe it🥹 the line came up straight away!

Hi...continuing on here from the last thread. AF is 3 days late so I sent my partner to pick up a pregnancy test while he was out doing the Christmas food shop this morning and I got a BFP! This was my 4th cycle TTC no 2, but only the first cycle where I did ovulation testing. Ovulation happened on CD17 which was a bit later than I expected so I'm wondering if we were having sex too early in the previous cycles!

Congratulations!!! 🥳🎉

So sorry for your loss, and the biggest congratulations on your positive test, fantastic news 🥰

Ladies - my drama continues! Thought I was having a straightforward CP - period a week late, slightly longer than usual and stopped bleeding on Christmas Day. Hadn't tested again as didn't think I needed to. However, started light bleeding again last night so did a test and still quite a strong BFP (some progression from 10 days ago but not enough to get me excited). Went to bed and still light bleeding this morning. Having some dull/mild twinges in lower left side and lower back so called 111 and been told to go to A&E to be scanned to rule out ectopic. There's a lot of people here so might be here a while 😩

I have my fingers crossed for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

SCK2024 · 29/12/2024 14:27

i am guessing the spotting / light bleed was my period (2days long).

I have 1 child (10yrs) to my last partner.
my current partner has x2 boys (13&9yrs)
we want one together.

We are both 37.

We found out last year (August 2023) i was pregnant but due to personal circumstances we had to terminate which I was so upset over.

i feel this is karma 😔

we are both trying to conceive now.

has anyone ever used Hertility?

I want to check my hormone levels x

please no judging

That’s super exciting!!! Hope it’s a sticky bean

MummyV2021 · 29/12/2024 15:14

Thanks @Sunch. Just been seen by consultant who checked me out and is happy I’m not in immediate danger of a rupturing ectopic. She’s taken urine sample and said they’ll wait for the bloods to come back and then likely book me to come back for a scan in the next day or 2. Apparently they don’t have the facility to scan on the day out of hours. So think I just need to wait another half hour then I should be able to go

Never any judgment here lovely, everyone has their reasons. It's nobody else's business. I haven't used hertility so can't comment sorry, hopefully someone else has and can share experience. How long have you been TTC? Over 35 you can speak to GP about your fertility if you've been trying for more than 6 months without success

Thanks lovely 🌸
Trouble I’m a nurse and my staff can see my consultations from my own practice.
it’s a tricky one.
I am going to ask work to be taken off the spine as I was a patient at my work before becoming staff.
I have ordered a hertility home kit, I should get it in 3-5days and will keep anyone interested updated xx

WestiesAreMyBesties · 29/12/2024 17:09

Guys! Guys! Guys!
I think this second IUI worked!
The first few days show a dark line but that was just the trigger shot. You can see when the trigger shot left my body (still have no idea what happened on day 6. It must have been a faulty one) but then you can see the line getting darker again!
What do you think? Is this my cycle?! Did it work??

Interesting! 🧐 did you double ovulate?! ✨

WestiesAreMyBesties · 29/12/2024 18:32

@SCK2024 I'm not sure. When we went for a scan before doing the IUI there was only one large follicle on one side and a group of smaller follicles on the other side. I'm assuming only the large one was viable but I can't be sure 🤷🏻‍♀️
