My usual 28 day cycles were also shortened while on proceive!!! I spotted for a week before it actually arrived. I've come off it again because of this.

I wonder what it is that does that. Maybe it’s no good if there’s nothing to fix? I’m just sticking to taking individual vitamins now.

Also I can’t remember who it was who mentioned the hair analysis but I did mine and that was useful to know what vitamins were lacking and what to take.

It was me! I found my results really interesting, hopefully the vitamin boost will do the trick for you 🤞🏻

I’ve recently started testing at 12dpo each month just to see. I’ve been disappointed so far but I feel like I can have a moment then start waiting for the next cycle instead of getting my hopes up for another couple of days.

I’m about to enter my fertile window on my first clomid cycle. I haven’t noticed any side effects so far so I’m hoping it’s actually done something 😄

If anyone is at the point where they’re debating contacting the doctor, I definitely would. I know it will depend on area etc. but we’re on month 9 of TTC and they’ve said they’ll start doing some blood tests etc. as there’s often long waiting lists.

We’re currently undergoing tests, after just over a year of trying. I’ve had a blood test and I’ve got an ultrasound booked next week and my OH has had a “sample” checked. His test had come back normal but mine aren’t finished

I thought it was but wasn’t 100% sure. That was a good shout, it’s mad how much they can pick up from it!

like me i read in to all symptoms! try to relax and wait until your period is due! it's super hard ( i need to listen to my own advice) But hope you're postive!

Me too! Today I’m 4dpo australia time and I am feeling pulling sensation on my right side now but no spotting. Trying my hardest not to pick up my nephew incase anything happens
 
Tracking BBT has been a bloody nightmare this past week - has anyone else struggled? I’ve been up almost every hour because of the heat 🥵 at least it was a little cooler last night.

I’m now 4DPO and the two week wait continues. I feel like the months are going really fast because I’m sectioning it into little niches. Period, drinking, fertility, luteal, period, drinking etc etc 😆

interesting about childcare if you work for the nhs. I make the money in our relationship and it’s actually not that significant anyway, so I’m going to have to go back to work if we have a kid which makes me pretty sad. We’ve got no one nearby who can do us free childcare either so it’s going to be expensive. It does make you think.
 
Still no AF here. I keep getting cramps that make it feel like it’s starting but absolutely no other changes. That makes it day 37. Who knows.

ETA - thanks for the support with my minor freak out XD I work at a trust that has two sites and the one I work at doesn’t have a nursery so it wouldn’t be cheaper but I would probably be able to drop a day and my OH would probably be able to do four days a week of slightly longer hours so I guess that would work it out.

Thanks. Tbh I don’t think I am. Just presuming it’s a delayed period. I haven’t had any weird “feelings” and we didn’t really DTD around my fertile window this month I don’t think. Been lazy cos we’ve been having tests for fertility
 
Currently CD12 and my LH tests are still showing low (actually lighter than they were two days ago) and I noticed a tiny bit of brown spotting on the paper after I went to the loo. We then had sex and I bled a fair bit after. Did a pregnancy test just to be sure as my last period was much lighter and that was negative too. Have any of you experienced this?

I’d speak to your Dr about this. Hopefully nothing to worry about but worth making sure your smear is up to date etc.

I am going insane. AF due in roughly two days. Was convinced it was starting yesterday morning as I had like 1% period (think what it's like on the very, very last day of your usual period - not red, barely anything at all) so I went through the feelings of anger and disappointment but then - nothing! The whole of yesterday and so far this today, nothing more. This is not usual for me, I'm not a spotter. My period starts when it starts and that's it. Now I'm back to wondering 'what if' and I'm too scared to take a pregnancy test until my period is officially late. I hate this 😩

Quoting myself with an update - I don't really have anyone to chat to about these things (apart from my partner) so I appreciate reading all of the posts here and it serves to just let me get it out there 😅

Shocked to say the least. The weird barely-there period was maybe implantation? Terrified due to a MMC at 11 weeks in 2020. Here's to hoping all stays well and I wish so much love and support to all on the thread.
