The Implant

Hey guys

I’m planning to get the implant on Tuesday and I was wondering if there’s anything I should know about the procedure, side effects, potential consequences or other relevant things about it.

For reference I have a 5 month old, haven’t not been intimate with my husband since before she was born and am hoping to take a long haul flight in the next month.

I’d really appreciate anything you can give me

Positive test?

Hey, I’m over a week and a half late for my period so took a test. Everyone I’ve shown this to has said there is 2 lines one very faint. However I took another test the next day and was 100% negative. I’ve been taking the pill since December. Has this happened to anyone else ?

Hello

First month trying for baby no2 it's been 3 years so I can't remember what it was like in the tww. I am 5dpo I'm guessing and have very wet gooey sort of ewcm. I definitely ovulated last week sometime. Anyone else have this during tww

Is this positive?

Is this an evap line, faint positive or stupid line eyes?

Does this look like a positive ovulation test?

Taken on cycle day 14. Day 15 test was lighter.

Here we go again

Starting to try for baby no2. I am currently 4dpo I think. Ovulation was apparently Sunday and we did it on Friday evening. It was the only one in the fertile window due to this bloody heatwave 🤣 not sure I have my hopes up for this month. What's everyone else saying? Let's chat xx

40+

I have recently turned 40 and needing to start IVF from the beginning as I have no more frozen embryos. I am worried time is against me now with my age. I had a call yesterday with one of the IVF doctors to go over my case notes due to a failed FET and he did say it’s not going to be easy as I would need at least 11 eggs for a 30% chance of a successful pregnancy. I am now getting stressed about the costing of this 🥹 anyone in 40’s had any issues with pregnancy? I know everyone’s body is different but just looking for some guidance. Thanks

Is this a positive?

I’m 10dpo and I usually have a short cycle, so my period is supposed to come tomorrow.

I decide to test it today and got what I believe to be a faint line on 3 tests.

What do you see? Is it too soon to tell?

I don’t want to get happy to then be disappointed 🥹

This one was taken within the expected window.

Pregnancy tests and when to trust them 🤦🏼‍♀️

It sounds ridiculous, but since finding out I was pregnant in November last year and losing it pretty early, I haven't trusted a test since

Me and my partner have spoken about having another baby, but in my head I feel like we need to build on what we have (which isn't bad, just some things weren't not where I would like them to be)

My period has been a little messed up since taking some medications few months back and I was over a week late. 10 tests later (my anxiety kicked in after 2 days late) I finally came on my period

I should have come on my period 2 days ago, and going through the flo app, I'm now a day late

I've just taken a test and there is a line. I can't say if I'm happy, scared or excited, but I just don't feel like I'm 100% with the test given my experience last year

Here's the photo, and I know there's a line, but could it be chemical right before I start my period or would someone say this is definite?

Feeling unsatisfied

My husband and I decided we are done having children and he is waiting for a vasectomy. This has led us to condoms and the pull out method (I know it’s not 100%). But after I don’t feel satisfied like I use to. Has anyone had this issue before? What are some tips you might have?

Possible line??

I took this test at 12:45pm today and after an hour it was really visible but has since gone really faint… I’m due on my period 24/6, but I don’t think it’s coming…. Does anyone else see a line?

Day 6 post transfer negative any hope

This is my third euploid 5AA! First two implanted and chemical.. I’m losing hope. Any success stories please.

Frustrated and Overwhelmed

Hi, My husband and I just went through our first IVF cycle and got 4 embryos which is awesome. But now I just got a saline SONO done and found out I have to have surgery to remove a polyp. I know that relatively speaking my husband and I are in great shape for going forward and everything - but my God all I want is to get going with the FET and hope it works but I feel like every time I get one step forward I get pushed two steps back with other necessary procedures I didn't know about.

I'm also currently on birth control (which is severely limiting my appetite so I'm sure I'm both hormonally off and lacking in nutrition/calories (not my best self)). I just figured that after the IVF cycle we'd do the transfer and that'd be it. I'm a little frustrated that that's not the case.

Any advice or words of wisdom are appreciated.
