@ChaE05unfortunately we had a 6-8 week wait for our results and that’s north west anglia, apparently they are really busy all over at the moment

Can anyone advise on how long you need to be TTC for before the GP will do testing? I'm 30 and DH is 33, we're trying to conceive for the first time and haven't been succesful after 3 months. We've used clear blue ovulation tests for the last two months and timed things with the smiley face and still not been succesful which is worrying me a bit...

@CharlotteRae6-8 weeks for appointment or 6-8 weeks for results?!

may depend on counties, but i think in general for an under 35 is 12 months x

@roamingcat I’ve ordered an at home fertility blood test to get an overview as a GP won’t see you at then age until post 12 months of TTC. Well worth paying the money for us so we can see what’s happening more for peace of mind aswell hoping everything’s going to come back fine

@roamingcat3 months honestly is no time at all, I wouldn’t worry until you get to a year, just keep doing what your doing 😊

@ChaE05hmm I think the initial appointment was about 3 weeks and then they said upto 8 weeks for the results 😬

Guyssss someone either put me out of my misery or tell me I'm not delusional... do we see a line?? I mean.. you will need need to zoom in because vvvvvvfl??

Where did you order it from?

I can see this very clearly!!

@kiki2516thats interesting! Have you now tested positive??

@megan345, it’s taking every fibre of my being not to test. Swore I wouldn’t symptom spot this month but here we are. My plan is to go to toilet asap in the morning and then tell myself it would be too dilute the rest of the day.

hoping to make it till Saturday…

I see it too!!!

i could see it without a zoom or even clicking the photo!!

You don’t even need to zoom or squint. Clear line! Eeeek. Congrats. How many DPO are you??

Yes mine did and it was a similar wait. But our gp referred to fertility clinic before the test results came back x

Ahhhh I actually can't believe it 🥹🥹🥹 I'm around 11dpo (I think, I didn't use opks this month ironically!)

I've never been pregnant before... what do I do? Do I get more tests? I only have these cheapie pre mom ones.

3 months is still totally within the very normal range for people with no issues. It’s usually 1 year under 35 and 6 months if over, but they’ll usually do testing before if there’s an obvious issue or something you’re worried about xx

So clear!!

Oh wow!

to reassure, my DH had to wait for the test but the results for only a few days. They do the actual test immediate, I think the delay can be in it being sent to GP surgery and then processing the result. For us it wasn’t long at all

@bigbird1234 I have yes! I got my clear but faint positive at 9dpo, I am 11dpo today and a lot more clearer☺️ x

@2Sugars2 I can see the line too!!x

@2Sugars2 is this after the BFN this morning? Congratulations ❤️

Ahh thank you. Yes, something was niggling at me so I tested again tonight. Keep me posted how you get on 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@2Sugars2yay congrats! Yeah try and get a first response and test again not tomorrow but the morning after to give the hormones enough time to double! (Would be my advice)

@bigbird1234how many DPOs are you today? I’m trying to wait until Sunday - I’ll be 12DPO on Sunday which is when I had my first (and only BFP 10 years ago!)
