Update from fertility specialist! I have 4 follicles, 2 measuring 14, one 16, and one 17! Uterine lining looks thick too ❤️ DH's sperm didn't improve too much, went from about 4mil to 5mil good swimmers with the clomid. We conceived our son with 4mil. So, hopefully with the four good follicles, we get one sticky baby ❤️ triggering tonight, IUI is on Tuesday. Official test day is 12/26

How exciting, good luck with your IUI. Does doing the trigger shots hurt?

Today was test day! I took a dollar store test and a wondfo. I couldn’t see a line on the wondfo. The dollar store one def has a line tho! Trying not to get my hopes up because the wondfo is negative and I’ve been burned with some evaps lately. I say it warrants a frer Just to see! I’ll update later

Wow! 4 follicles??? What did you use to help with ovulation?? I barely get 1 follicle with 50mg of clomid and I'm still waiting for ovulation this cycle -- I'm CD 13 today. 25% increase in DH's sperms is great improvement!!!
 
“Not Pregnant” today in a clear blue digital (not sensitive/early detection) I’ve ordered some cheapies off of Amazon hopefully they won’t be defective. I’ll be using the cheapies to test for the next bit until my bfp or AF arrives. I’ll take one later tonight once I receive them.

Good luck with the strips. What brand did you get? Also digital tests usually need more hcg to say pregnant. What cycle day are you on. Know you weren't sure dpo.

Thanks for looking. How's things going for you in your cycle? Where are you now?

Thanks for asking. I'm on CD 14 but no signs of ovulation yet. I didn't do any scans for this cycle cos I was quite disillusioned by last 2 cycles when I ovulated but had a CP for one and didn't get pregnant for the other. I'm feeling quite discouraged and am considering just stopping with the whole TTCing after all.

I had a surgery September 28th of this year to remove an etopic as well as my tube. Since then I have not had a visit from AF. Therefore I really don’t have exact dates to go by. If I am not pregnant and don’t get a cycle by the end of the month I will visit my doctor and see what he says. I purchased these tests in the photo. Are they good or should I not open them and return to Amazon. I should probably get cheapie ovulation tests as well. Those clear blue advance with the flashing and static smiley are quite expensive.

Oh isee why..I remember seeing another reply you said you had a ectopic. I'm using both those brands and 2 others lol. So far I've never had a problem with them. You should keep them and try out for yourself see if you like them. Sorry about the ectopic and loss of tube. Hugs
 
CD 1…sigh. I got light lines all day on my cheapies so when I got home I was excited to take my frer! Went to the bathroom and mad had started. I took the test anyway and there was a super faint line, but no anything I could get a picture of. I still had a tiny sliver of hope that maybe it was implantation bleeding, but it went to full af not long after. Another 10 day luteal phase too! I think it’s low progesterone and going to switch doctors if he won’t change things this cycle. My femara needs to be upped and I need progesterone checks. I told them I had to take suppositories with both of my femara pregnancies so that should be a given.

Praying for all you ladies that are testing this month! I wish you the best of luck and still going to cheer you on!

Jules I'm so sorry af came after today's test I saw ☹️ it looked promising. Hope your doctor will help you out better. 10 day luteal phase seems a tad short. If I remember correctly you've had issues with that in the past right? Or am I thinking of someone else.
Hugs
 
Hello ladies I am new and in total shock. I'm 40 and just found out that I'm pregnant. I haven't told anyone yet so yall are the first ones to know. I first took the dollar test and I was so shocked that it immediately showed up the second line and super dark. I then took the clear blue since my period was 2 days late. I also found it odd that 4 days prior to my missed period I notice just a pinkish spot nothing else. I really thought my period was coming. This will be our 6th baby and I really feel so overwhelmed right now.

Any suggestions for cheapie ovulation tests? I want to stock up just in case.
 
I see lines on everyone’s tests and I am truly hoping it’s BFP’s all around.
