Congrats 3sacharm. So exciting. Nice to see a bfp as feels like this hasent been a great for month for many of us xxx
Girlie I understand you won't qualify for ivf as I too am in the same boat. But did he discuss other checks? For example lap and dye, a scan to check for pcos or cysts or even endometriosis. Because there's alot of things to try before ivf. I'm just not sure how many can be covered on nhs. Also you could try hormonal medications such as clomid/progesterone a trigger shot. But again I'm not sure how far they will go on nhs. Either way you will usually need to be reffers by your gp. I'm too going back in November so if we're still about I can let you know how I get on. But hope you get your bfp before it comes to that xxx
Nothing again this morning on the FRER, I will have blood work tomorrow to confirm negative HCG so I can stop the progesterone this cycle and wait for AF.
I see the line 3sacharm, congrats! Amazing news
So sorry tfahn that is so disappointing!
Baby2016baby, he went into no detail about tests that would/ could happen after trying for a year. I kindof got the opinion, because I have three babies already and fell pregnant very easily before, he is sort of assuming I will fall pregnant and we won't have to go there, he said he is fairly confident I will fall pregnant before 12 months. Though he does not know am swaying and not having as much sex as I probably should be! ;-) glad to have someone in the same boat, hope you and I both get bfp before having to speak to gp again, sending all my blue dust your way if you could spare some pink I would gladly take it!
Take all my pink in return for blue.
Tfahn so dissapointing. Your chart looked great this month too :( fingers crossed for you still xxx
Tfahn and girlie please, I hope this cycle works out well for you both. I'm ieeping everything crossed for you.
Thanks ladies, it's a funny thing really as last month I had loads of symptoms but other than sore bbs this month, I don't really have any?! I tested as just had a very "calm" feeling that I was and figured I was due on now and af hasn't rocked up. It was late this afternoon that I took it so will test again in the morning with fmu as have a couple of weddings this week and next - could be interesting trying to avoid alcohol :o fingers crossed its a sticky "pink" one...!x
Congrats 3!!
Girlieplease.. 36 isn't old.. I'm 36 too (37 in Nov). Although having said that, when I went to the gp with my pregnancy last year at 35 my dr was all doom and gloom about how old I was so drs can be funny about age.
I wasn't made to wait a year to get a referral to a FS though, I think it is after 6 months if over 35 unless you have an obvious issues like wacky cycles then they will refer you sooner. It is a bit different in Australia, we have a medicare system that pays for part of appointments but we also pay a lot out of pocket. They have no restictions on ivf here but you do have out of pocket costs. You may not even need ivf, clomid could do the trick!
I tested today but I think I'm having another chemical. I definatly ov evening if the 9th/10th so I should be 12 or 13dpo today but mine is barely visable on fr and even if of later shouldn't be as fient. It's exactly like my chemical. Please keep fingers crossed I'm wrong as it's out last month of trying before I take a break to loose weight and go to my gp. I'm not telling hubby so you guys are all I have xxxx
(edited to add pics, FMU, 12/13dpo)
Aw baby2016 I'm keeping everything crossed. I'm in the same position as you in that I haven't told anyone other than you guys, not even hubby! I'm too scared but I don't know how I'm going to get away with it with all the social events we have coming up where I'll be expected to drink!
I don't know anything about fertility referrals so I'm sorry I can't help on that front. It's tricky when you're swaying pink as you're reducing fertility anyway.x
thanks 3. I'm swaying blue and its really getting to me and hubby that we started HE and all the gear end of Feb. We have both put on weight as we normally have a horrendous diet but done eat much if that makes sense. I'm going to test tomorrow and try to not drink any fluids after 9pm see if test gets darker. I have no symptoms at all. In fact I gave up at about 9dpo when I googled "early pregnany symptoms" and I had the exact opposite of everyone else! boobs don't hurt, not peeing any more, not changes in anyway, no cm. This is somewhat typical for me but I usually gag when brushing teeth and get a good sense of smell and my tastebuds change usually straight away. I feel exactly like I did with my chemical, ie not at all pregnant, in fact less pregnant than months I get bfn and af. My af was 3 days later with my chemical and I knew something was wrong straight away, kinda got that feeling again but trying so hard to have some PMA. I also had a miscarriage on new years eve just gone at about 7 weeks and that almost broke us. Its funny we weren't trying but once you accept it your ok, the sense of loss was still aweful. Ive had now 3 MC, 2 chems and 3 live babies. I'm starting to think maybe I cant carry boys as I am a carrier of a blood clotting disorder affecting only males. Hence I qualify for free pgd but only to make a girl, DOH! better mention Im only a 2nd generation carrier and my husband is negative. So if I were to have a boy there only a 12.5% chance he will get the gene, and about 3% chance he will have the disorder. Its easily controlled by one tablet daily xxx
I too have a lot of events coming up which will be a nightmare to get around but I am not even thinking that far. I just want to get to past af due date (sunday) and see test darkening first. I'm not even excited at all, just worried, so sad but when you've had a rough time in past I think you get guarded xxxx
Thanks purple, I really don't think it's old at all. We had first attempt last night as we are doing e4d's. Although dh and I had an argument before hand, he is fed up with swaying process. He thinks it has alot of an impact on him but I really don't see it, am doing the diet, exercise, monitoring my cycles, drinking coffee ( which I hate and makes me gag), I have the emotional roller-coaster of 2 ww and the disappointment when it fails. He is not bothered about having another, he is very happy with three and he would not care if it was a boy or girl so I don't think he gets my perspective. He is usually supportive but he was annoyed last night because I was telling him what to do with his body. I was just like why does this happen in our window please have a huff at another time. I think he came round when I said this will be another month wasted but at least I can blame him this time. Am starting to really not like the person am becoming? Dh and I rarely argue and am a positive person but have been feeling down since or lack of success last month. Really considering throwing in the towel and either accepting we will only have 3 babies or going for it no sway and accepting we will probably have a boy. Sorry for the moan!
Baby2016baby it is still early, I have read posts from lots of folk who have said they had lots of symptoms in 2 ww and were sure they were pregnant ( including myself) an weren't and then went on to have no symptoms in 2 ww and were pregnant. Keeping everything crossed for you! X
Thanks girlie.
I am totally with you on the hubby thing too. The way my husband has gone on the last 6 months you would think it was him going through it. I don't think guys really get it at all. I don't know much about girl swaying but I do know its a lot more intense and hard to stick to than boys so you have my admiration. I really hope things work out for you. I know this will not help much at this time but all my three girls were conceived just having sex as and when xxx
Hope this is a sticky bean for you Baby2016!! I hear you all on husband issues. I think they really don't feel the same way about it for the most part and don't really understand even if well-meaning. My husband isn't fed up, but I can't gripe to him because it's on my behalf we're doing it, and at some point I mentioned I don't know how long I can try and that angered him because I think he felt it was hypocritical. Glad we have a place to vent here!
I'll be testing on Monday. I feel like I have symptoms sore breasts and creamy cm, but now I feel like those can't really be trusted... Not too long to wait now though.

I will be watching out inforthree, I'm retesting sunday that way I should either see line progression or not! I want to test tomorrow but I'm not wasting more tests, Ive seriously used about 30 in the last 4 months lol
Good luck xxx
Fingers crossed for you Baby2016baby, a line has to start somewhere so maybe this is just the start and the rest will be darker.
I had blood work done this morning and at 13/14 dpo hcg was only .8 so I am stopping the progesterone supplements as of today for this cycle. Maybe August will produce better results, guess I have mor injections to look forward too.
: ( sorry tfahn it's so emotionally exhausting. I hope August is your month. Hugs.

Thanks inforthree, and yes it is emotionally exhausting. At least DH is on board with wanting another child so he is fine with continuing to try.
I am so embarrassed to be asking this but I don't know where else to query. I am cd 7 and have sore boobs and nausea, it is totally like morning sickness. What is happening? Don't laugh but I was so convinced I took a pregnancy test, how crazy is that?it was negative! Am I going through some crazy phantom pregnancy? I feel rough but not like a virus, it never gets any worse. I have no energy for exercising and am so bloated, any explanation other than I have completely lost the plot? Thanks
Girlie I had those same exact symptoms in my early cycle days when I wasn't ovulating.
I had very regular periods, small but there temp rises, so I would have sworn I was ovulating. However the tell all for me should have been all the flashing smileys I would get on my OPKS my estrogen must have been through the roof. My RE ended up saying with my hyper emotional response and sore breasts/nausea that he had reason to suspect I wasn't actually ovulating. My next cycle he gave me clomid and I fell pregnant so he must have been right. I had two previous babies before this seemingly no problems so it really can pop up out of no where.
Interesting burakoam, what did it indicate? That you weren't ovulating, why would that be? Crap if it means am not ovulating!
How are things? Last post I read from you, you were of to jump your husband?
Sorry cross posts, crap crap crap, my gp is very unhelpful! He just keeps saying it's age related why I have not got pregnant! He has offered to do a blood draw at cd 21, to see progesterone levels, would that issue be identified by a blood draw? X
I'm waiting to test. I'm between 8-10 DPO today... So freaking hard not to test. I'm trying to not hold up much hope as I believe I still have PCOS issues and therefore will need clomid to get pregnant again...
The flashing smiley is when your body sees a surge in estrogen linked to just before your LH surge which is around when you ovulate. I used to get flashing smileys at cd 6 until cd 14-15 when I'd get my solid.this was before my last baby. For the two months I've been using OPKS now I haven't gotten a single flashing one now but I think that's related to low estrogen from breastfeeding. I still get solids but even those seem to be wonky..
It can always be age but I doubt it as i have been following you on here since the start of my 2ww and its like Deja's vu for me...Granted I'm not a doctor I just know what my doctor would think of your symptoms. A blood draw did not show mine. All my hormones showed normal. That obviously was not the case
Sorry tfahn. Got everything crossed for august. I hope your right but I think that line is so poor for this stage. Theres only a few times ive had poor lines like that and both were chems. Im sure i have implantation issues.
Girlie your bloods at day 21 will check your progesterone levels and they will know if your ovulating or not. Previously I always thought if you got an lh surge/pos opk you had to be ovulating but apparently that's not always the case. Fingers crossed you get some answers this month. You sound exactly like me with my first. I had a dose of Clomid and Bob's your uncle, pregnant, with a girl! X
Exciting, well fingers crossed for you! I have found the two week wait a most frustrating time.
Funny you should say this because past two months cb monitor has identified high fertility but no peak, endless highs, this happened before but I ended up pregnant with ds 1 and ds2, so I never paid much mind to it. I am getting a solid smilie on cb digital opks. Is Amy chance of getting pregnant with this? Can it resolve without medical intervention? Thanks for your help x
Sorry than :( I hope the injectables do the trick!
Girlieplease, if you aren't ovulating then you could have mild pcos which the LE diet would make worse. Maybe look at the PCOS diet? The cd21 test will probably show the dr that you are not ovulating so maybe he will help. It could also show you have elevated LH levels which is another pcos indicators. My midcycle bloodwork showed my hormones were all wacky so that is when the GP started suspecting PCOS. I would also get several OPK+ per cycle before eventually ovulating around cd30.
Thanks ladies, what would I do without you guys! But aaaaaahhhhhh, this is a nightmare! I just think maybe I should just give up? Seems like my chances are slim this month irrespective of whether it is high oestrogen or pcos. Thanks for all the advice,will check out pcos diet, but am sure it is too late to change now! Will reduce caffeine and hope that reduce estrogen. What can idiot about either of these issues? Thanks everyone x
Freudian slip ' idiot " that meant to read can I do. Idoit ismore apt! X
Girlie I would not give up. I got my 3rd beautiful girl and I was in your shoes :) I would look up PCOS diet. Soda is a huge trigger for my PCOS as its high in sugars not so much the caffeine... It could well be a trigger for you too depending how many cans of soda you consume a day. girlie I hate to see you give up your dream... Why not speak up with your GP and tell him no offense but you really want a referal to an RE and hopefully get a cycle of clomid.... It may make all the difference!!
I am sure some women get pregnant naturally regardless t just takes longer as you don't ovulate every month. i was far too impatient to just wait it out
Thanks ladies, I drink diet coke, so sugar not so much as issue. I have put on weight as well, so need to get back to strictly monitoring my calorie intake. Just going to plug on with the plan, exercise, diet and e4d' s, next attempt on Monday. Then see what the blood work suggests day 21 and try to figure out a future plan then! Thanks again for all the add I really appreciate it! Good luck to you all x
I keep seeing that all over the place... What the heck is E4d's lol
Having sex every four days! X
Hi ladies - I'm having some spotting today CD 9. Same thing that happened last month with my CP so I'm a little disheartened. We'll see...

It will be interesting to see if I am ovulating or not.
Doing every 3 days this month x

My hcg is up to 92 today and my progesterone is 12.1. The nurse said they're going to assume it's a normal pregnancy but I still have to go back every 4 days for bloodwork until I get up to 2000. FX it keeps increasing at a good rate!! :)

that's fab news momia, congratulations.
inforthree fingers crossed thought as spotting can be implantation sign. I know what its like though when you get the symptoms you've had before which turned out "not as planned" but hopefully its a good sign this time round x
Thanks, baby2016baby! :)
