If anyone was considering getting an AMH test, Superdrug are doing it with 15% off at the moment in a BF deal.
 
according to Flo, AF is due tomorrow however I’m not sure if that’s the case following the chemical. I think the tests I posted on sat are evap lines as I took another FRER yesterday and it was a clear negative. Despite that, my boobs are still incredibly sore and huge! I literally never get this with my period… could it be because I had a chemical last month? Why the duck do pregnancy symptoms need to be so similar to period symptoms 😂 I guess I’m not out until AF arrives. I’ve put my spare pregnancy tests in my husbands car and it’s surprisingly helpful.
i take my hat off to you ladies, it’s such a mind game ttc x

Hi, I’m new here: been TTC for about 6 months - maybe longer. I didn’t take it that seriously at first but the more it’s not happening I’m starting to panic. Any general tips for conception would be helpful. I do an Ovulation Test every month at Day 7 until I get peak fertility. And my ovulation/period cycle is pretty regular.
Thanks in advance

Have you looked at the Sperm Meets Egg Plan? I've only recently started actively ttc but I've seen SMEP mentioned a few times. I downloaded a free ebook from Amazon about it - really quick read, it's only about 50 pages.

I use the ClearBlue advanced digital ovulation tests as they identify more fertile days and I like how easy the smiley face reading is.

Well I tested this morning and BFN. I guess 9DPO might be too early but I thought I'd try as I'm only 4 days from AF now. No symptoms at all yet, though. Starting to lose hope.

Going to try not to test again until AF is due on Friday but I'm not sure if I'll be able to wait.

I’m currently cycle day 34. I really can’t cope with seeing a negative test though.
I’d rather see my period than see a negative, so just taking it day by day
Ill test either Friday or Monday if my period still hasn’t shown

Glad I never bothered wasting a test as period pains have arrived. Just waiting for the actual period to start now

I had my ultrasound last night & he said all looks good. He could see follicles in both ovaries & today 1 week early I got the peak on both CB & Premom. Delighted they synced up but def was a surprise. We haven’t DTD near enough I was gearing up for it over the next week tho which is disappointing.

TRIGGER WARNING

Hey,
At what point can we go to the doctors for help? We’ve been TTC for 15 months. During that time we had one chemical pregnancy. And a pregnancy which resulted in a loss due to the baby’s skull not forming. This was only in August.
I feel like if I ring the doctors now they’ll say I have to give things time to settle after the loss.

I just don’t know what to do

I would phone your GP and see if you can come in for a chat. Ultimately unless there is a medical reason for you to not try again and you feel ready and able, that is not their decision to make.

Hi Neo, I went to my GP in June with concerns around my luteal phase being too short. As I’m 36 and TTC over 6 months at that stage she was happy to run some bloods for me. I then asked for a referral to Gynae in august where I am having investigation’s done privately. I had a great convo with the consultant in November after a 3 month wait, he has done my day 2 & 20 bloods, I had a pelvic ultrasound last night and I’ve a HSG scan in January. My husband is pending a sperm analysis also which I have to bring the results to my next Gynae consultant apt.
Give your GP a call & push for your referral as there could be a wait depending on where you live. Best of luck.

Edited to add I agree with above poster, it really isn’t anyones decision to make but your own.

Hi, no I’ve never heard of that plan. I’ll have a look thank you.
I also use the Clear Blue tests and yes the smileys etc are really clear and helpful. I use the app Flo too: and my cycle on there pretty much lines up with the results from Clear Blue.

Thanks for your response

One of my closest work colleagues told me she was pregnant today, I’m so pleased for her and she will make a great mum but she told me that they conceived after being off contraception for ONE month. I had a cry in the toilets, gave myself an early finish and came home to watch Christmas movies. 😞

Congrats lovely. Just enjoy it if you can and try not to worry 💙💙💙
I'm 10 DPO today and currently staring at a cheapy test squinting to see if there is anything there. No joy yet but as the saying goes you're not out till you're out...so until AF arrives I shall remain optimistic and if it does arrive...well i can drink at all the Xmas parties that are probably going to be cancelled 😂

Congratulations! ❤ Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Well I didn't last until Friday before testing again. I tested with a FRER this morning and there was a really faint line but I wasn't even sure that it looked pink so couldn't be sure what the result was. I used another early digital and it said pregnant.

I'm only 11DPO, AF not due for another couple of days and I've had no symptoms at all, so trying not to get too excited yet! 🤞🏻
