Just tested in the office and I forgot to bring my digital tests with me today (was not expecting to surge today!)

Is that a positive?? Will go to Boots to get more tests and try again at lunch time

Oh pez that looks a good line - for me that would count as surge! When did you last poas- was it this dark? I wouldnip out at lunchtime if you can x

HopingForALittleOne · 02/03/2017 11:16

Forgot why I came on here! There is deal on groupon for digital tests if anyone interested

Looks good to me pez

pickle162 · 02/03/2017 11:18

My AMH was 9, my consultant said same about over 20= more likely to be pcos

Pez82 · 02/03/2017 11:34

Thanks. Last month the one step test was the last one to turn positive so I've called the clinic. Just waiting for a nurse to call me back.
Can't believe I don't even have my digital tests with me!! I'll get the Boots strips at lunchtime, they gave me a really strong + last month and they only cost a fiver

So it looks like IUI tomorrow afternoon Grin it does confirm I know my body much better than the doctor, he said Sunday but I knew i always ovulate on day 12-13.

Thanks for the offer hoping - I still have a couple of FRERs in the cupboard as didn't even have a chance of testing before AF turned up last month!!

Karendvm · 02/03/2017 12:15

Definitly iui tomorrow pez! I have to admit that I lied to my clinic about my surge. From discussing with you ladies (taydex included) I felt that they were doing my iui too late. So I called in a surge when it was almost but not quite there. Guess it worked. I think your amh is great pez. Best of luck tomorrow! Keep your feet warm, stay hydrated, smile lots and get some rest.

Karendvm · 02/03/2017 12:16

My beta hcg is around 550. Back tomorrow to see if it is doubling. Fingers crossed!

HopingForALittleOne · 02/03/2017 12:24

Karen hcg sounds good fx for it to continue to rise.

Pez 'my ahm is 21.9 ( I don't have pcos) yours it in the range like mine xx

HopingForALittleOne · 02/03/2017 12:24

Sorry meant to say for our age ( in 34 and 1/2 too - birthday in October)

INeedNewShoes · 02/03/2017 13:07

Gosh. I'm 34.5 too (also birthday in October) - what a coincidence! Looking back, my AMH was 27.3 just over a year ago, so within the normal range for age.

Karen - that sounds promising Smile I'm so impressed with your patience waiting for these tests and results!

Pez - good call to book your IUI for tomorrow afternoon - sounds like perfect timing!

Pez82 · 02/03/2017 13:14

My birthday is also in October!!!

Karen, fingers crossed for tomorrow! All sounds really good so far Smile

I tested again and it wasn't as strong but that's probably because I only managed to hold it for 2h. I'll test on digital when I get home

IUI is booked for 1pm

Karendvm · 02/03/2017 14:46

pez it may also just be going down. Your surge can be short. I think your timing will be great. Go buy a pineapple!

Karendvm · 02/03/2017 14:49

Ha ha shoes. No patience here. Dr google has not been my friend. And I've been poas like crazy. But I also know everything is out of my control at this point. Levels should be over a thousand tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Munrowalker · 02/03/2017 15:14

Good luck for tomorrow pez!

Pez82 · 02/03/2017 16:58

Thanks for the reminder Karen! Will try and find a juicy 🍍 on the way home

Test still dark 😉 I quite like these Boots strips - they go dark very quickly and are wider than others

pickle it sounds like your boss is very supportive Smile

pez!!!!! So excited for you!!! Best of luck!!!

karen that sounds VERY promising!!!

I always used to be the youngest but having to get used to that not being the case anymore... I will be 43 in July.

Had a shit nights sleep and another intense work day - am exhausted. CBT was via an online chat! Reserving judgment for the time being .
Feel very low again - PMA has deserted me.

kwick honey I am so sorry. Your pma will come back, just give it time. I hope you sleep better tonight. X

Munrowalker · 02/03/2017 18:34

Kwick
Chin up, I'm sure your PMA will return
In the meantime, be kind to yourself

CherryBlossom100 · 02/03/2017 18:48

Pez82 · 02/03/2017 19:07

cherry, that's crazy you tested on 9dpiui!! But there is definitely a faint line there 😁

Kwick, massive virtual hug to you, give it time, it's still very raw and others have said your PMA will be back!

Pickle, I'm actually already on round 3 - crazy how time flies (apart from during TWOT 😖)

pickle162 · 02/03/2017 19:21

Jeez talk about lose track of time, sorry pez it really is a speedy process when finally get into it all.
Yet ANOTHER person is pregnant at work, not in my team but boy do I find these things hard. With u guys it's different I'm so desperate for everyone to get a positive but IRL it's like a lunch in the face....
