Has anyone used Clearblue early detection test and at what stage did you use them? I want to use one 10/11 DPO before I go on holiday, which would be maybe 5/6 days before my missed period.

I used them at 12 dpo ish and it was accurate. If you’ve got a pack they tell you how accurate they are by days before. I think it says to start 5 days before your period (the 6 days is assuming missed period) but I think it’s only about 60 ish percent of pregnancies are picked up by then. It then increases to about 90% and then up to 99% as you get closer to your period
 
The clear blue early detection didn’t work for me at all even the day before my expected period. Used one on the Thursday & Saturday and period was due on the Sunday. Tested again on the tuesday with just a superdrug own brand with the lines and a normal clear blue digital and both were positive.
 
Thanks for the kind words on my last post. Took a few days away from here. Back in a positive mindset. Still no show from period was due sunday. Still negative pregnancy test had that postive ovulation obviously on the friday. Who knows what's going on
 
Anyone else’s surge only last a day? Got my first peak since coming off the pill so I’m over the moon😊 we BD day before peak and day of peak

Really thought this might have been the month for me, had very clear peak on the ovulation tests and we DTD at the right times. Had a few things which I'd convinced myself were symptoms but I've just come on 💔💔 Now I just feel angry at myself for getting my hopes up. Well over 1 year of trying now, fertility referral done ages ago but the waitlists are huge so I've not heard anything, I just feel so disheartened. Part of me thinks it's time to give up 💔

We had the exact same last month, I had implantation pains and spotting, my temp kept rising, I was so convinced that this was it, and then it all came crashing down a few days later 🥺 We’re also on the waitlist, have you looked at prices privately? The testing side isn’t too expensive, we’re going to do the exploration tests next month at a local clinic so we at least know what we’re dealing with, if IVF is needed it’s a goal to save for whilst we wait for the nhs funding rejection

It's just so hard isn't it :( I haven't looked at private prices to be honest. I daren't look really as I very much doubt we'll be able to afford it :( Sending love to you, I hope you get your positive test soon xx
 
Will Flo start to learn my actual cycle? I’ve only just started using it and have recorded one period. So, it’s set out what it expects my cycle to be, and my cycle is obviously not whatever Flo thinks a ‘standard’ cycle is. If I’m honest, the fact that it sends me a notification every single day saying ‘you’ve missed your period, take a pregnancy test’ really bleeping irritating when I am definitely not pregnant. I was stupid enough to pay for the premium app so I’m hoping I can stick with it whilst it learns my cycle, but right now I could throw my phone out the window.
 
I've found this with Premom. Logged 3 periods and still too early with my estimated period urging me to take a test. Erm, I know better, ta.
 
Hi all 👋

Hope you’re all doing well. I was a regular on this thread back in 2021 but after 2 losses decided to take a TTC break which turned into 2 years as mentally I couldn’t take the sadness of another loss. Hopefully all the ladies I used to chat to have had their BFPs now and are well into motherhood, so I doubt anyone will remember me.

However, I’ve just turned 30 and I’m thinking I may be in a place to start trying again in the next few months.

I want to get myself as healthy as possible and want to start taking multivitamins again however I can’t find any that don’t have vitamin A but have all the b vitamins and folic acid? Can anyone recommend any please?

I specifically don’t want ones that say preconception on or TTC etc because I haven’t told my husband I’m feeling ready to try again yet as I don’t want to get his hopes up if I don’t feel strong enough, he’s been great but I know it was really crushing for him initially when I said I couldn’t continue so just want to be sure. If I have a big box of TTC vitamins might give it away 😅

This is what I would recommend, no mention of pre conception on the bottle and a highly absorbable form of folic acid

Had anyone come off clomid? What did it do to your cycle? My first month without it and I’m having a longer cycle, currently day 29. pre clomid I used to have cycles used to vary between 26 ti 32 days but with clomid I was having 26 day cycles.

Did a test 2 days ago and it was negative and I don’t have the heart to test again. Thoughts welcome please
 
So today my sister-in-law announced her second pregnancy (in 2 years) then I walked into the office to find 3 women who I didn't realise were pregnant and they said "this is pregnancy corner" so obviously I didn't sit near that corner... where they spent the whole day talking about being pregnant. 🙃

Anyway I'm 6DPO on cycle 16 for baby 1 🤞..

So sorry, it really hits you doesn't it when things like that are around you 💔 It's awful when people joke 'whens your turn' which I've had recently since getting married!!

I'm around 6 dpo now too, no symptoms tbh apart from bloating. Cycle day 50 today :(
 
Had anyone ever tried or looked into the at home fertility test kits, like Hertility?
Once again I caved and did a clear blue early detection test 4 days before AF is due, and once again it was a big old negative result. I'm just sick of it now, and I know going through the NHS isn't the quickest, I just want to see what's going on with me and hopefully get peace of mind

God I'm so bloody fed up. We're reaching the time I thought I'd be winding down for maternity leave ahead of #2 and we're still not even pregnant.
Feel like I can't plan or commit to anything as I have no idea what 2024 will hold for us. I hate seeing the age gap grow and grow 😭

Also trying for baby #2 and seeing the gap grow is really bothering me. I’m grateful for having my daughter but would love to have a second. So many mums at the nursery are pregnant.
