Sorry about the bfn first timer - do you think its a case of being too early?

Yes the flights can be expensive as you cannot book very far in advance as it all depends on how the follicles are growing. It is supposedly very good in that they have discovered issues which were not picked up by the UK clinics.

Due on Monday. Used an early detection test too.

Gingerbreadlady1 · 21/06/2014 13:57

Sorry firsttimer, I'd def push to get tubes checked as if they are, what's the point of clomid? I just don't get some drs logic..

annie thanks for that, think it may be too far to travel. Interestingly, that's about the same cost as gri private section grmu. Nuffield is around 4.5 -5k and gcrm 5k (they have the highest success rates).

AnnieHoo · 21/06/2014 19:37

The success rates are slightly depressing but I think at least I'll know I did everything. Tonight I'm thinking sod it - go private ASAP time is against us. Could end up costing us a complete fortune for 3 rounds... And then it might happen on this last round of Clomid. I just can't believe this is me sometimes. Must be thankful for what I have though and life is pretty damn good otherwise Smile off to sunny majorca at the weekend woo HOO!!

Errr, morning. Confused. I'm 13dpo, no AF, poa opk last night. Positive. Poas this morning, nothing after a couple of mins so went back to bed. There's now a faint but clear line so don't know what to think!

kerrylou84 · 22/06/2014 11:00

Ginger that is exactly what mine was like! I did an ovulation test 2 days previous which came up positive, then I used boots own which had a very faint line like yours. I then legged it to boots and bought first response, which came up within seconds!
I told my sister there was a faint line and she was like 'youre pregnant Kerry' I was like' am iI bollox' lol. It's so hard to believe. Go get another test and let us know xxx

kerrylou84 · 22/06/2014 11:02

My heart's racing for you ginger cos it's bringing it all back how I felt lol. Xxx

Gingerbreadlady1 · 22/06/2014 11:06

Aww, thanks kerry my dp keeps telling me to calm down. It's very faint tho, & had a chem before..but.. AF is still away.

I'm gonna wait till tomorrow to use my 1 & only frer as want to avoid another inconclusive test.omg omg omg! Panic lol!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 22/06/2014 11:09

No doubt gonna not be able to resist peeing on just about any other kind of stick tho.....

kerrylou84 · 22/06/2014 11:27

What's frer?xxx

kerrylou84 · 22/06/2014 11:29

I did 2 boots own at first which were both very faint lines then 2 first response then the next day did another boots, which was still faint then a couple of weeks later I bought a very cheap asda one, think there were 2 for £1 and they both came up straight away.
Do it! Lol xxx

AnnieHoo · 22/06/2014 11:36

First Response Early Result kerry

AnnieHoo · 22/06/2014 11:43

I didn't know about the positive opk thing. Does that show up positive before a BFP?

kerrylou84 · 22/06/2014 11:52

I'm sure I've read somewhere that it can show up positive if pregnant.....don't count on my words tho, but I'm sure I've definitely read it somewhere.xxx

kerrylou84 · 22/06/2014 11:53

If you got a twin pack ginger do one now then one in morning......I'm desperate to know xxx

AnnieHoo · 22/06/2014 12:01

Yeah!!! Or nip out and buy more! It will be much clearer on a FRER than the cheapies.Smile Get a CB digital too so you can see the word "pregnant" and show it to DP later or tomorrow. Men can't see the lines we can see!
