TTC - kits

This is my first time using ovulation kits. I feel as though I’m ovulating (discharge, one sided pain and increase in libido) but this is low? Could I have just missed it or is it coming? My cycle is between 33-47 days in length so I ovulate later than most hence CD19.

Thoughts

Has anyone had this? The positive one I took this morning but looked at after the recommended ten minutes so there was every chance it could be a evaporation line. I took another one at lunch time and it was negative however it stayed negative which is making me think it isn't an evaporation line. Has anyone ever ha...

Is this an evaporation line

Decided to take a pregnancy test as I’ve been having cramps and spotting I’m on the pill but have been on antibiotics which I’ve heard can interfere with the pill working. The line only appeared after about 25 minutes and it was a 6 days before missed period test

Not getting darker quick enough?

Hey, So I have had 9 pregnancy losses, the most recent being 2 months ago, so I'm really anxious. Are these actually getting darker? I'm worried because my tests didn't take this long to get dark with my daughter that I can remember 😞

Pregnancy test

Has anyone tested negative on their pregnancy test 3 days before their next period? Than they retested the day after their missed period and were pregnant?

Day 3 to Day 5 failure

Hi everyone, We’ve just had our first cycle of ivf with create in Manchester. We retrieved 15 eggs, 12 were mature, 11 were fertilised. On Day 3, we had 7 top quality embryos (8-10 cells), 2 average and 2 below average. Obviously we were over the moon and so positive. On Day 5 they rang to say none had reached blas...

B- Negative blood

I know I’m probably over thinking all of this, but I made the mistake of googling. This is my second pregnancy, but how the b- negative blood thing was explained was either extremely dulled down or I wasn’t listening. Last time it was explained as my husband’s blood and I didn’t mix so I need this injection. This ti...

Introduction!

Wanted to share our story as we can't shout it from the roof tops yet! We'd been trying for over 2 years and IVF was recommended to us as the last resort. We had hoops to jump through to get Military funding- not the easiest thing to get, but we got it. So then it was time for us to wait for my next cycle to start s...

Line eyes?

9 dpo? I feel like I see something but also not sure I had a false positive at 6dpo last month so don’t want to get my hopes up 🤦🏻‍♀️ it’s just the little strip tests and they are as little as 10 HCG. Will obviously test again tomorrow and the next day 😂 but does anyone else see it today? Photo was within 4 mins,…

Is it just me that feels this?

I feel like the sad reality is, once you become a mother, no one cares about you as a person anymore. It’s like the person you were/ are isn’t a concern anymore. You’re not allowed to not be okay, and if you’re not … doesn’t matter. No care about how you are mentally, physically or emotionally. You’re just the vess...

What is the best day to dtd?

I keep seeing different information the more I read up on it. Some say it’s 2 days before, some say 1 (or day of LH peak), some say ovulation or even the day after that. If someone could share their experience or advice on that, it would be very helpful x

Just want baby out

I'll be 37 weeks (full term) on the 12th and I'm dying just to have baby out already. Not because I want to meet him but I want the kicks to stop, I want the pain to go away, I want to lay down comfy again, I want to be able to pee normally and not feel like something is kicking my bladder all the time just for 1 dr...

What are my chances?

8DPO today. 2 days ago I had some cramping and ever since I’ve had dull headaches coming and going, twinges in my breasts and spouts of lower back pain. Does this seem like a good sign? BBT rose after ovulation, has stayed high but isn’t continuing to rise. Has been at the same temp the last 3 mornings. Hoping...

Negative after a positive

Had a positive test last Tuesday, just did one today that has the weeks indicator on it (evening) and it's said negative. Could this be wrong? I'm going to test again in the morning but I'm super anxious now.

This doesn’t include accidental/not trying pregnancies, sorry!
