@ForGiddyDreamer I'm thinking of enquiring about private testing also. I would also qualify for public IVF now as they recently changed the criteria. You can apply if you have one living child. It's to accommodate secondary infertility. It's good to know that these options are there if we need it.
Also trying to chill 🫠

Sorry for another post on this but do we think the 0.72 was my peak because it’s just going down now:( I go away tomorrow so this is my last day of BD for a few days if not :(

ThatNimbleOP · 17/07/2025 16:23

@SureLook is this true? My doctor said you don't qualify but that would be a big relief if it ever came to it...

@amey44 The CD16 looks like a peak to me? I don't trust prenom, it can change based on the lighting in the room!!

ChaE05 · 17/07/2025 16:32

@amey44so sure your peak was CD16 at 6.33? X

Iris2024 · 17/07/2025 18:13

@Mummysparrow This is so amazing! Over a year trying too, so happy for you! 💕 Gives me hope!

@Nightshift110 I’m hoping a chemical isn’t the case here, sending so much love to you ❤️

@FarAwayBird Hey my love! CD12 today. Let’s hope and pray 🙏 that this is our month lovely!

@megan345 SAME! Waiting for peak and then the dreaded wait begins all over again 🤣🤣

@ThatNimbleOP welcome lovely! I’m 41 and have a daughter who is 6. We caught first time trying with her. We tried for 6 months January 2024. We are now onto month 4 of trying for second child.

@SureLook Hope you’re okay my love. You’re being so strong ❤️

I feel really emotional tonight. We have just BD’d and here wondering when will it be our turn. I also feel comfort that we are all here together and all got each other.

@amey44 yes, I would take that as your peak. Perfect timing right before going away.

@ThatNimbleOP sorry, I should have specified again that I'm in Ireland. The guidelines only very recently changed. I assume you're in the UK?

@Iris2024 thank you! We're all great strong women ❤️

Thinking of you today @Taysonic I really hope you get some answers soon xxx

amey44 · 17/07/2025 20:55

Thanks for the reply’s ladies! My tests have been getting lighter today so i’m guessing that was my peak which is crazy as if I didn’t test at 6 I would’ve missed it! I’m thinking of stopping testing now as it’s making me turn into a maniac though haha

Ive had cramping today so hoping that’s a good sign i’ve ov’d

YKM2829 · 18/07/2025 07:40

Around 9/10dpo as only tested LH after my peak as wasn't testing this month just wanted to make sure ovulation actually did occur as didn't feel any pain this month.
And yeah this morning......

I really hope this one sticks 🤞

This month is the 2nd month I've taken 1000mg vit c and 1st cycle taking agnus castus vitex (chasteberry) 450mg at beginning of luteal phase (give or take a day or too as I say may have been a day late at the beginning of luteal phase)

No symptoms with the bfp, if anything my pmdd symptoms are better. Which is weird as chasteberry takes 3 months usually. Maybe it's the bfp making me feel better. That is what's supposed to happen or usually happens with pmdd and pregnancy 😅
Anyway that was long winded 😮‍💨
My catch up as haven't been on here this month xx

Hi all. Nipping in as could do with a bit of a hand hold today.

To recap, I had a MC in March. Tested positive again in June, but a private scan at 6 weeks didn't bring good news. Referred to NHS who couldn't find the location of the pregnancy and found a large ovarian cyst.

Had repeat bloods which showed hcg levels dropping. And I started bleeding on Monday. So, had made my difficult peace with it being another miscarriage.

Had some additional blood tests on Tuesday in relation to the cyst, and had a call last night to say my hcg levels had risen since Sunday. They're now obviously concerned about an ectopic.

Heading back to the hospital today. Don't know what to expect. Head is all over the place. Really just want this chapter to be over.

Hope you get good news 🤞 but if it is ectopic and I hope it isn't, I had one in January. I don't want to cause you any added stress but feel free to ask me anything. Though I know everyone's experience can be different xxx

Nightshift110 · 18/07/2025 08:36

Well I've no idea what's going on. Did a cheap test this morning , compared to Wednesday when the CBD went backwards to 1-2. Top Wednesday and bottom one this morning. Slightly darker again right ?

Morning all! Finally got a positive ovulation test last night on CD16 so based on past experience think ovu will be tomorrow. I'm relieved as thought I was having an anovulatory cycle after MC! I'm assuming it'll push my cycle to about 32 days as opposed to 27. I had a similar cycle when I conceived DD back in 2022 following a chemical, so hoping this is a positive sign for this month!

NiftySheep · 18/07/2025 09:12

Can I also say how reassuring it is having you ladies, and that I can send a message like the above and just know you all understand the ins and outs completely. I was trying to explain to my hubs and he didn't really understand what I was saying haha!

Nightshift110 · 18/07/2025 09:13

@DorsetGirl89im 22 dpo I think. I should be 5 weeks 3 days pregnant.
Think I'm going to go get another CBD for the morning. And then If it's gone back up I'll book in an early scan .
Its given me a little hope this morning .

Omg, I can't even begin to imagine the stress of it all.. sending you loads of love. You'll be an incredible mum, you're setting such an incredible example of strength and bravery and they'll be so lucky to have you.

boredinmy30s · 18/07/2025 11:20

Hi ladies, I’ve done two premoms and two cheap tests and there’s two lines the second is faint lines today and yesterday. I’ve not taken a clear blue yet. Should I Keep waiting? Clue app says I’m 3 days overdue on my period . Another app says I’m due today. I’ve used clue for two years so trust it more. So nervous.

@YKM2829 oh wow, congratulations ❤️ fingers crossed for a sticky one 🤞🏻

@Nightshift110 it is darker but the line isn't consistent. It's only dark on one side. I'm sorry this is going on, it's all so confusing. I think another CBD in the morning is a good idea. I've everything crossed for you 🤞🏻❤️

@NiftySheep that's great that you've ovulated 👏🏻

@DorsetGirl89 yeah, all those symptoms could just be from the progesterone. It's so hard to know and it's so cruel the way PMS and early pregnancy symptoms are so similar.
The rest of your post made me feel quite emotional. I'm so sorry that you're in the position you're in. You're not being selfish at all. You'll be an incredible mother who will be so strong and such a good role model. Did the team recommend a particular option to take? Have you any thoughts yourself?

@boredinmy30s tentative congratulations. Definitely take a CB or FRER. I wouldn't be able to wait 😂

LovelyMuddles · 18/07/2025 12:37

Took an OPK this morning and the test line is so much darker than the control- does that mean we are good to go haha?
