  • Yeah probably hit me later when go home. Need to figure out when to have this blood test. Don't know whether to wait and book till ive ovulated.

    Hopefully good twinges, as I've read even can feel like af coming and be bfp

  • Are your cycles fairly consistent? I would book it for day 21 (with today being day 1) and then they can go from there. Ask them to do a hormone profile too! 

    I sure hope so like you say... I'm still getting the odd something when I wipe after going to the loo! Sorry if it's tmi! It's not like blood but just a hint of pink/red mixed in. Might just be the start of af... My emotions are all up and down! 

  • Hey ladies.... sorry to jump in..... another lady on one of the other threads has had these tests done and I believe they are meant to be cd4 and then again at cd21.... have read that a few times in various places x

  • Ooh that's interesting thank you :) 

  • Yrah im okay at the moment just dont understand why we've had nothing in a year. Probably hit me later when im home

    Still positive by things I've read things crossed for you!

  • Oops thought the other message hadn't sent.

    Yeah my cycles a pretty regualr around the 28 mark well this cycle was 29. Think she did a hormone profile last time as said other hormones were right. 

  • It's so frustrating isn't it... When there's seemingly nothing wrong but still no pregnancy! I'd say day 21 should be bang on for you then! I'm feeling like I just want to test as I keep doubting it now (especially each time I go to the toilet) but will hold out. This is only my third regular length cycle so still varies a bit between 30/34 days I think. 

  • I know just doesn't make sense doctor said next point is we can get referred where they put dye up me and take pics. 

    I just always feel like the bearer of bad news to the OH.

    So What day are you on? 

  • It's not easy but at least your doc is talking about next steps which is a good thing really :) 

    I know what you mean! We have to suffer the emotions of not being pregnant but also telling our OH and just trying to explain that I'd love not to think about it but my body doesn't let me do that!

    I think I'm 12dpo if I ovulated the say after I got my solid smiley... So still plenty of time for af to show which I get the feeling it will! 

  • Hmmm I think it's just shown up... 

  • Yrah think she's confused on how long we've been trying as originally said couldnt refer till 2 years!

    I know he keeps saying put to back of your head not that easy. Know he's just trying to help. Quite proud ive not broken down yet. 

    Aww no really has it got heavy? 

  • Deffo not! It should be a year trying before docs do tests... But sounds like they are doing things :) 

    I know! My OH is amazing but says it's upsetting to see me upset and I want to spare him that upset but I find over a year devastating whereas he is still adamant it'll happen for us! We're looking at booking our wedding for next June and I just know we'll have to put a hold on trying if it gets too close to that! 

    Not really heavy but deffo on its way I'd say with the pains coming through now. 

  • Yeah but it was referral to the specialist. 

    Yeah so is mine think that's why hes trying to keep me distracted so I don't stress myself out. Yeah mine says same too the time will come. Yeah my wedding is not till 2019 but get scared itll get too close. 

    Just ordered preseed for this month. Aw no really but I've read somewhere that it can feel like AF is coming x

  • Oh yeah I see! I guess by the time they've done their tests then it'll be about 2 years before the specialists anyway! 

    You'll have to let me know what the preseed is like... 

    Yeah I've read things like that too but it was more blood than before and I just know in my heart that I'm out now. Gutted but can't change it so need to look forward as much as poss! 

  • Yeah but just with it being after this month we don't know if its too soon. Guess see how next blood test and sperm test goes.

    We've used it the past 2 months I like it makes it feel a bit better with doing it so much and gives me peace of mind as i was worried about my cm.

    Yeah best way to be positive and not stress sorry though x

  • Please can you let me know what the sperm test involves (besides the obvious!) so I can let OH know? 

    Hmm maybe something to consider then :) 

    Thanks! Doc told me stress is the worst thing so try to remain positive but it's up and down as you know x

  • Well hes going this week to do it. Have to not have sex for 48 hours and has to be delivered to the hospital within half an hour. So we're getting results when get blood test results back. 

    Yeah seemed that way to me she said relax and enjoy a drink over Christmas 

  • Oh good so not too difficult haha! I'm glad it won't take long to get results back! I think my OH will be nervous when we get to that point but it's just worth checking all is ok! 

  • Apart from having to do the deed in the hospital. Yeah my OH is nervous think he's worried its him now there testing him. But think once we get results itll take the stress off a bit. 

  • AF arrived this morning, bang on time :(
