Oh!! I use the Premom ones and I'm around 0.20 when I'm out of my peak time.
i left mine to dry whilst I worked out and it’s probably a little too long to check and premom logged it as a 3.5 😂

Saying that, my pre peak sat around 3.5/5/7.5 before a peak of 80 so maybe it’s just normal for me?!

Thinking of you ❤



I hope you get some clear answers soon, being in limbo is the worst. The spotting might not mean you're out, could you possibly have ovulated later than you think and therefore be earlier than expected?
I really hope this is the case; it’s stopped now so fingers crossed ❤

Hey I am so sorry it’s been stressful for you. You don’t know what direction your going. I can only imagine what your going through.
sorry to say I can’t see a line.
From what I have read on here from other women brown discharge doesn’t always indicate period but I don’t want to get your hopes up. Hopefully the other ladies can assist.


Today my AF came and I’m now starting to think maybe I need to give up in this journey to motherhood. My husband is significantly older and I’m now thinking I’m out of time. I feel like I’m in a dark place today. I have to really think about our next move. I am genuinely not ok today. I’ve had enough the last 2 years and a bit.
Hi, just wanted to say that I’ve felt exactly like this. Giving up seemed the best thing to do for my sanity. We persevered, got medical help and finally achieved our dream. Have you explored medical interventions? Obviously, telling you to keep going to inappropriate as we’re all different and sometimes infertility can be overwhelming x

Wish I never tested early now 😥 no I always just use frer as they are meant to be the more sensitive. I may use an Asda cheapie as this is what I used first time round with my son!
Congratulations to you! ❤ Xx
Thank you! I also used an asda cheapie this morning and it looked negative 😬 but I'm guessing it's just not as sensitive as I haven't missed a period yet xx

Hi all. Im sorry i didnt know where to go as everyone in my life has a baby, and i dont actually know anyone who didnt conceive naturally in my life. (sorry if there are lots of errors- i am rapidly typing and feel like im going to stop breathing)

Im 31 and i have no children of my own, my partner is 42 and he has children from a previous relationship. We have been trying to conceive for 2/3 years (due to covid, i felt like i couldnt go to the doctors re fertility until recently)
in the past i have had 7 miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy; and just have the 1 fallopian tube. I got my fertility bloods done and they came back all normal.
I always thought I may have issues as I thought the amount of medication I’ve been on through the years and currently; it was something I always worried about. I’m currently on a butec morphine patch, gabapentin, carbamazepine, amitrypyline (these are the drugs I’m taking for peripheral neuropathy issues and got issues with my nerves but am taking other short term pain medication) so yes always worried about whether my baby would be born as a druggy.l etc. So I never considered that my partner would have any fertility issue, I thought I would be the only problem. And I never considered living my life without having a child of my own.

I have just collected my partners sperm infertility test results. Could someone please help me think clearer right now; i feel like im going to have a panic attack and i dont really understand it.

"Asthenoteratozoospermia- percentages of both progressive motility and morphologically normal spermatozoa below the lower reference limits.
Progressive- 20
Non progressive- 20%
Immotile- 59%
Normal Morphology- 0%
Abnormal Morphology- 100%
Head Defects 100%
Mid piece defects 23%
Tail defects 5%

Could someone help me understand please. I am just trying to google the resutls; but my mind is everywhere and i just cant get it together at the moment. I am really sorry; i dont know who else to ask.
Thank you so much to anyone who replies.I just feel like I can’t breathe right now
I’m sorry I can’t give you any advice about this but I just want to say sending you all the love and I hope you get the help you need 🤍🤍 you can get through this xx

Morning ladies. Anyone for a game of can I see a line or am I trying to convince myself of something not there? We opened another one to compare and definitely thought we could see something. Currently day 25, but my cycle varies from 24-30 days

I think I can see something! When is your period due? I would try again in a couple days or maybe try a frer

Sorry you’re going through this, I can only imagine how stressful and frustrating the whole situation is.
I can recommend the clear blue early detector test, I got a clear result very quickly and from what I’ve read they aren’t considered too bad for evaps. Sending you a big hug and hope you get some answers soon 🤞🏻 X
I am most deffinatley going to try other brands. I really don’t rate them at all now read some terrible reviews. Thanks for everyone’s replies! Xxx

We had this problem! We went shopping picked out lingerie together and had a few home date nights.
Also lots of wine helped 😂😅
Likewise I would wear lingerie and do my make up. By then I was dead. The fertile window is so clinical. Wish the window was longer.

Random question - has anyone experienced washing machine stomach and vomiting at nights - I'm waiting to test period due Thursday

So this might be a bit tmi but I’m only 9dpo and not due on for 5 days (I’m super regular) but I’ve just wiped and had brownish/red blood. Now trying to figure out if I’m coming on early for some reason or could it be implantation? I did miscarry in December but my last 2 cycles have been normal. Has anyone else had this? I’m super confused!
Fingers crossed for you!! Have you had any other symptoms at all?

thanks for your reply, a line is deffo there in person my camera is rubbish but I can appreciate why you can’t see it. This will be my 2nd early MC a in 3 months. I’m surprised I even got a hint of a line as apparently the first response rapid result isn’t sensitive.

I’m so sorry to hear you feel like this, it is the most stressful and exhausting thing to TTC. I have said to myself that I am not going to test or even track my ovulation anymore as it is mentally draining me and just let nature do it’s thing. Maybe if you try and do the same that will help you? However, I do appreciate this is one million times easier said than done. Have you tried talking to your GP etc about how you are feeling?
Sending tons of love ❤

This was Sunday’s test done with Internet cheapie x

I'm so sorry you're feeling so stressed. First of all, big hug ❤ You're going through a lot and all the emotions you're feeling now are normal. At least it's good that your bloods came back normal!

I'm not a doctor though, so I can't say for sure, but it does seem like your partner's sperm quality isn't great. I'm mainly basing this on the abnormal morphology (so their shape) and head defects both being 100%.
Can you call a doctor or someone at fertility to guide you through these results?

Mine have been between 29-32 but my last was 36 which I put down to my surgery last month delaying my body (you’ve got me worried now 😂) I’ve been on the mini pill for so long I hadn’t had a period in years so I have no idea about my cycle length or anything.

I found them useful to work out when in the cycle I actually ovulated (I honestly had no idea about stuff like this) and i was buzzing when I got my first peak fertility sign 🤣 but they are expensive hence why I’ve ordered some cheapies to use. My Flo app tells me when I’m due to be ovulating and is a chance to get pregnant, so when that flashes up I start doing the ovulation tests until I get peak.

Feel like I have no idea what I’m doing but I’m going with it 😂
I will buy some then I think! Thanks. I have started to over analyse my body but I feel normal most of the time so I can’t tell when I am ovulating. Hope the tests help.

@Celeste thank you, it’s so hard isn’t it when you just have no control over when things are going to happen. Glad to have this thread and know there are others who understand 💕

That's so annoying, do you think anything specific caused it?
I have PCOS so it does happen sometimes but The supplements I’ve been taking had made my periods so much more manageable! Generally women with pcos miss periods but not me! I have too many 🤣 the only thing I can think is maybe stress of some sort but I don’t know what’s caused me to be stressed if you know what I mean! I’m going to the doctors in a couple of months anyway as clearly I’m not going to get anywhere 🤣 stupid hormones!!!! Just annoying when I was like clockwork for the past several months xx

Does anyway gets aches and kind of cramps (don't know how to describe it) the few days after ovulation? I'm 3dpo and have had them On and off since. Im not saying its anything but I literally had it for the first time last month (cycle 15) which was strange then again this time. Anyone else get this? Ovulation is definately done as I started up the opks this month.
I get cramps for days and days after, I'm still getting them now (5 DPO) and I am almost certain I don't get then any other time in my cycle. It's so bizarre!
