Thank you, yes that is true. This is the evening (admittedly I’m well hydrated and after only not going to the loo for an hour or so) but it seems barely there now. Not very hopeful but who knows 😬

Thank you! 😁🥰
Been trying consistently since January, this is our first. I think this is what you mean by stats? Sorry, correct me if I'm wrong 😊

@Muddysocks1 ok that makes total sense then as most of us don’t know we even have chemicals. I hope you aren’t having another chemical! Have you got any FRER tests? I feel like maybe my mind is what is hindering us, maybe I’m too obsessed with it?

@peanutForever yeah the 6 months scares me too. I feel like I need to chill out a bit and surrender to the process a bit more and just let it be. I’m crap at doing that!! Also with CoQ10 I believe it’s safe to take until you get a positive test. When you find out you are pregnant stop taking it. I’ve not been told to stop taking that after ovulation but I have read in early pregnancy they don’t know if its safe or not x

@FlyHighSky72 your GP will know what tests to do. I had a full set of bloods done in 2023 & an ultra sound done on my ovaries and lining, all came back good. I just had a load more of the same bloods done and they have also come back good, I also requested all my vitamins to be tested and they all came back good. I haven’t had another scan done as part of me thinks as my cycles haven’t changed and my hormones are all optimal still I think il wait until I get an appointment with a fertility specialist to let them do further testing.

i agree with you, I started the ball rolling on teats at month 4, had them done cycle 5, I’m now CD 21 of what should be a 23/24 day cycle…. If nothing for the next 3-4 months il prob get the microbiome tested and maybe pay for a scan / HSG. But I take good probiotics so I’m just hoping it’s just time.

il be 37 in April and I think that’s probably going to be my cut off for going to get real help. At the at point it would be almost 18 months of trying.

it can take longer at our age and sometimes we just have to keep going but it’s just hard. At month 4 I started to worry and month 6 now and I know I’m out in like wtf is going on 😱

@Muddysocks1 i still see that line. I have every crossed for you.

I’ve got AF belly this morning and last night I had light brown discharge on wipe. Just want AF to show now as I’m ready for a fresh try!

@MrsGingerCatcongratulations

@Muddysocks1i do still see it. As others have said maybe try a different test

This is mine today at (i think) 11DPO. Hoping this is our rainbow..

I see it lovely! Congratulations 🩷

i see it!!xx

Congrats @Rancor I can see it!! How long have you been trying for?? Exciting x

Definitely - I’ve got real mixed feelings about it as I don’t know if some doctors really recognise chemicals, but they’re early miscarriages and just as meaningful and upsetting!

No FRERs sadly, tbf I trust easy at home mostly, think I’ve used so many now that I can tell the difference between an indent and a VVFL so I’m almost certain I’ve had another early chemical. Just did another test and it’s negative, it’s still drying but can’t even see a VVVFL.

What I hate about TTC is the waiting, it’s a whole month until I’ll be back testing! Another 2+ weeks until ovulation. It requires the patience of a saint 🙈

@Rancori defo see it, so pleased for you congratulations 🥳

@Muddysocks1sorry..sometimes your gut just knows which sucks, but im still kind of hoping and praying for you that something changes over the next few days.

RE: the two week wait...im on CD6 and dont ovulate tilll CD16 so just seems like the time takes forever 😭

@Muddysocks1 yeah I agree it’s just sad isn’t it and at the end of the day it’s still a pregnancy!

@Muddysocks1 yep totally agree! The waiting is the worst. Waiting for AF, waiting for EWCM, waiting for a peak, waiting for ovulation, waiting for temp rise, waiting for implantation, waiting for symptoms, waiting to test & the after all that waiting and anticipation AF comes or it’s a chemical and you are like wtf how do you navigate this with a smile!!

@peanutForever I’m not due on until Wednesday and I’m just like be here already so I can try again. Tbh I have short cycles and inoculate between day 9-12, so I have less time to wait. But still the wait is horrible

Congrats @Rancor

@Rancori can definitely see that

@Thisisouryear2025yeah I think I’ll get started on getting tested at month 4! Partner had sperm analysis at the same time and his end was all ok too but will ask him to get retested too. This is only our second month trying but like you say being older i’d like to keep things moving. Also helps me feel a bit more under control during this ‘not in control at all’ period of time! I can’t remember if you have any other children? I’m tempted by the microbiome test but it’s quite expensive - we shall see

Yes!! It’s just so much. And after so long, feels small chance of it working next cycle so it’s so much effort with low chance of success. And yet we still try and hope?

Thank you xx I know I don’t know whether to just stop the conversation progesterone now and not waste it, if it I should continue until the proper test date (which would be 15dpo - but I’m 11dpo and stark neg!)

No idea what's happening with me today 😢 12 DPO and only ever time I'd got to this far was with a vvfl and had that on day 10. BFN still, had cramps on Thursday, but would normally start AF a day or to after that. I normally start AF on 10 or 11. Feeling a bit achy and sorry for myself today, just want to know where I stand!
