TTC for 18 months or more. Moving onto iui/ivf/icsi.

[lucieloos]

We have relocated from the conception board where we were previously chatting under the thread 'ttc for 10 months or more'. A lot of us are now long term ttc-ers and are going through infertility treatment or looking to take steps in this direction so we feel this might be a more suitable home for us!

Feel free to stop by and say hi and hopefully we can share the journey together and make it a little easier along the way!

I've got a FRER but threw away my FMU! So will try again tomorrow before the bloods. Hopefully if this isn't viable it will be more conclusive. I'm just horribly afraid this will drag out over days / weeks and then fizzle out. Would much rather draw a line under it if it's not going to go anywhere

Weirdly I saw a squinter yesterday on a superdrug when my FRER was fuck off white. So maybe there's something to superdrug tests being more sensitive for some people?!

I'm not expecting anything tomorrow although I'd love to be surprised and proven wrong.

Banana, that looks good to me! Fingers crossed x

I also tested this morning as AF should be due tomorrow. It was a clear blue and I thought oh my goodness there is a very very light positive. However DH was very glass half full about it and prob rightly so, so I'm starting to doubt my first instinct and that it was a quick evap line!

Banana! I can see that. It's not really that much of a squinter! I can't wait for your frer tomorrow!
What sensitivity is the super drug one? Surely more than 5? Your levels must have gone up!

--Sorry got carried away there

I get not getting your hopes up, it's self preservation. But eek. Hurry up tomorrow!

Mrsren - picture?
Also get a frer, clearblue a are horrible

Box says 10iu. Yesterday I had to pull the test apart to see if there was anything there (there wasn't. Not really)

I still don't think this will go anywhere. Although last time I had a very big very fat positive at 8dp5dt (13 dpo) and we all know how that one turned out!!

I'm on a course this aft so will try take a good picture when I'm back but I would say it's similar to Banana's. I will also try and get a first response on route home but going to try wait until Sunday x

That is very hopeful looking Banana. Everything crossed this is your one. I get needing to be fairly protective of yourself though. We will keep the hope up for you.

I don't think clearblue are as sensitive MrsRen, so don't give up hope yet.

Ooh Banana that's looking good! FX. Positive thoughts xx

What a rollercoaster week for you banana, fingers crossed for you!

Good luck Mrs Ren, my DH hubby was like that,saying it wasn't dark enough or it was too far apart. He wouldn't believe it until I took the the clearblue and it was written in words.
How are you getting on Lucie?

Fingers crossed

Roll on tomorrow!

So it's doubled since yesterday? I don't think you can compare pregnancies. My 13dpo line wasn't very strong

I can't seem to get a very focused pic but here goes..

Put a ring over it. It'll focus the camera.
I can see it though Mrsren!

I definitely see it Mrs Ren! Amazing if we get a run of bfps on here now!

Banana, good luck for tomorrow. Can't wait to see your frer pic.

Friends, I'm doing ok thanks. Feel a little on edge as its so early and I had a little bit of brown spotting today which freaked me out after last time. I'm hoping it's a bit of left over implantation or something. I had a much darker frer this morning. I had almost forgotten what this rollercoaster was like!

Eeeek Lucie! Darker FRER is great news.
I get the fear, I'm still on edge all these weeks later.
I had bright red bleeding a couple of times and things were ok.
Brown spotting prob is from implantation. Xx

Thanks Sammy, just so scared of any bleeding now after the hell of last time. It seems to have stopped now since early afternoon so fingers crossed. I booked in for my betas and progesterone next week which I'm also terrified about. I don't really want to get them done but just think it makes sense after the ectopic. I would rather know sooner than later.

I found it started again if I did too much. Try to rest as much as possible. You're right, it's best to know either way. Here to hand hold when you have to make the call for the results. Xx

I am see it mrs!!

Hooray for darker frer lucie!

Any nice plans for the weekend ladies? I'm getting my nails done tomorrow and seeing family on Sunday

Thanks Sammy, I finished work early today and rested up. Just horrible being on knicker watch now. Dread going to the loo.

Maple, sounds like a nice weekend. I'm seeing family Sunday too as dh is away for the day.

Very hopeful MrsRen xx

Things are looking good for you Lucia. Try keep positive.

Out for dinner with DH family Saturday and Sunday. Wouldn't mind a day to do nothing.

Have a lovely weekend ladies x

Argggh banana I've been checking in. Have you poas?

Lol - Lucie we're so similar. I've been checking in since 6am too!

Haha I know Sammy I've been checking in for ages and just had to ask now!

I'm now on the refresh button too. Banana your cheer- squad awaits

Good luck Banana!!
