And I started spotting so be careful of these tests. I'm not going to be using them again!

Pandorica I really hope you’ll be Oing so you can catch that egg! Please keep us posted how your private fertility checks goes. If I remember correctly you’re doing it through summer time right?

Jessica Nooo!! Wtf? How is it possible so many tests to be faulty? Dang it... I really hope this spotting is pregnancy related. Sending hugs

It's pretty much my regular flow so I don't think it's pregnancy related. I was trying not to get my hopes up and I'm glad I didn't. On to the next month!

I'm going to try something new this cycle. I'm going to order pre seed and some soft cups. I've heard inserting the soft cup after sex with some pre seed in it really helps. It gives the sperm the right environment and also keeps them in there and not leaking out! I've heard some great success stories on another board I'm on.

Jessica do have a good read of reviews of pre seed, I bought it to use but after reading things online I went against it as read it can actually slow some sperm down

Oh good to know! Is there something better out there?

I don’t know tbh, we didn’t use anything or do anything different apart from planning to move house

Lol Emma! 2 out of my 3 were a surprise and the 3rd took one month of only having sex once in that month! That was with a different partner and 5 years ago though. I'm 37 now and "geriatric" in the medical world. I assume it might take some more help this time!

@Jessica I’m 37 too and I know what you mean although it did take a while for our first too (8 months I think) but #2 came on the first try. I’m sorry AF came. Some of those tests really looked positive. Could have been a chemical though. In any case I really don’t like FREER anymore. There is always a very faint line on them so unless it is very obvious I consider them negative (I actually don’t really use them any more)
@Lalou Your strength is inspiring! I was reading something referencing a study that shows that even a 2 to 7% weight loss can improve chances of conception in women with PCOS by 50%. It sounds like diet can do a lot to manage the condition. I wish you the best of luck on all fronts: studies, move, baby!

Hi ladies. Pretty sure i will be O'ing today after HCG trigger shot yesterday. On CD13 (yesterday) I had one mature follicle at 20mm on my left side and a lining thickness of 8.3mm so they instructed me to take the trigger. I hope to be entering the TWW tomorrow! I will be using progesterone suppositories during this TWW and i've also recently started taking metformin.

So did another equate for SMU...a different box than 7 & 8 dpo and got a faint line again within 4 min. Pinks are still showing negative. Hoping still super early at 9dpo. Ttc when 41 can be so confusing at times. Ugh
