ICSI Egg retrieval.

I am on day 9 on the daily stims for egg retrieval. My doc hasn’t given me much hope. I have only one follicle. He has taken a blood test to see if we should continue. Severe case of endometriosis. Very disapppinted.

Has there been anyone with such cases? What have you done? Have you had a baby with one follicle and egg? Please share

How many weeks??

Hey girlies!!

We’ve been trying for a baby for the last 8 months with no luck, and decided to take a pause last month to give myself a chance to reset. And of course I found out a few days ago that I’m pregnant!!!!

Can’t believe it, and still in shock. All my tests have been faint, and I took a digital this morning which confirms 1-2 weeks pregnant. According to my tracking apps, I should be 5 weeks today, so I was expecting my digital to show 2-3 or 3+.

Now because I didn’t do any ovulation testing last month, I don’t actually know when I ovulated. I’m 99% sure I ovulated later this month, because i didn’t have sec during my typical ovulation window, only after. I think I’m around 14/15DPO, but I can’t be 100% sure.

Basically I’m freaking out a bit, as my tests are saying different to the apps and I just wanted a bit of reassurance❤️

Ovulating again?

I’m so confused, I did a lh test this morning which was dark. I’m meant to be 8/9DPO.
Also did a FRER but I can’t see much.

What’s going on?

7dpo honest opinion

I tested so early just for peace of mind and I see this??? Do you see something? If so, aren’t I too early? My mind is everywhere. Advice please!

When to test?

So my cycles usually range from 29 to 33 days. I've had like one or so cycles that were like 34 maybe 35 days. I can't really remember.
Right now it is day 33. I'm probably about 17-18 days past ovulation. Should I wait a few more days? When do you normally consider ot late?
I don't really want to buy a test if I don't have to.

Am I at Peak ?

Hey guys I am wondering is this peak ovulation or no ?
Sorry new to this strip test and I’m trying to figure it out.

Ovulation Testing

We are trying for baby number 2 and I am confused by my ovulation tests and what they mean 😅

On Saturday I got a very near positive, I forgot to test on Sunday but on Monday I tested again and it looked very negative and the line was quite faint. I tested today and it’s a very near positive again!

Does anyone have any clue what this can mean?

I am 9dpo today. I swear I see something very faint on these tests but it is also driving me crazy.

It's the same on all the tests I've taken today

How many dpo would you say I am based off these tests?

Please help as I don’t know when I ovulated

Advice

Anyone have any advice on any natural remedy to help in conception? At this point my husband and I have been tested for EVERYTHING..... It's been a trying four years for us.... I even got to the point I stopped tracking ovulation, bbt the whole nine cause it was too stressful

Measuring behind on scan😭

Hey ladies, just wondering if anyone has had this as I’m kind of stressed about it. I ovulated on 31st July and I’m pretty certain of that between ovulation tests, BBT tracking and ovulation pain, which all lined up to the same day. I got my first faint positive on 10th August (10 DPO). So I think that makes me 6+3 today, but baby measured 5+4 today. They reassured me that it’s no big deal but I’m worrying that measuring behind means something isn’t right? With my son he always measured right on track so this is new to me 🥺

Have I potentially missed my peak?

Really confused with my lh readings. Have I missed my peak or is my body trying to ovulate and its just not happening?

Doing enough

Due to my husband’s work commitments etc, i dont get to bd throughout ny whole cycle every 2/3 days. We do our very best to do it like every other day in fertile window. This in itself i feel like it stressful to achieve but we are making it work and i felt quite pleased about that. My friend said we should do it a lot more but i cant make that happen. Do you think im doing enough? Anyone else just focus on a few times in the fertile window , and had success? Thankyou x

It’s ovulation day and I’m horny af this sucks

I hate that ovulation makes me so horny and like wet enough I can feel it and my clit tingles 🤦🏻‍♀️ and of course right now me and my husband are arguing and no way I’m gonna tell him I want to tackle him 😂 so guess I’m taking a long shower tonight and having some alone time 😅😅

Testing

Hey! I’m currently 5m PP, and long story short I forgot to track my ovulation properly and me and my partner did the deed whilst I was ovulating (multiple times) My period is due in 6 days but yesterday I took a clear blue early detection test and it was negative. I have one of the same tests left, when do you guys recommend I take it? xx

Baby #2?

I’m currently 3 months pp almost 4 months pp. I slipped up and didn’t check my Flo app before doing the do and when I went to log it, it said that I’m at my highest peak for ovulation. I am highly worried about getting pregnant this soon after having my daughter. I live with my family and it’s already tight with my daughter, my boyfriend and myself, I really don’t know how I will have another baby in the room.

Clearly it’s too soon to test because it was the other day but this is literally the same time last year I got pregnant which would mean they would be close in birthdays within like days.

I am honestly stressing so any advice? Or words for reassurance?
