October 2017 testers - Having an Oktoberfest - 9 BFPs and counting

[Alligator]

Oops I totally meant 7dpo and just realized it now LOL! Any luck on your test???

I will try to wait til 10-11dpo, that’s this weekend!

Nova those sound like good signs! I know what you say about your mind messing with you. I so hope this is your month. And mine too!

 

[TTC74]

Today's test.

 

[Alligator]

I don’t think I see anything but still so early!!! Fx for the next few days.

Sarah, you have to lie and say you’ve been trying for 2 years (I had to put Mine from 3 years and say 4 years as wasn’t doing the conventional way)

And gp will refer you to the fertility experts at the hospital and doesn’t take long for the letter to come through, Mine was a few weeks and the first tests they will do(usually) is the CD3 and cd21 tests to check hormones then after them results they will go from there, after that I had a HSG where they stick dye and check your tubes and everything
Hope this helps

TTC74 - not seeing anything there. Wish you luck tomorrow.

 

[Reiko_ctu]

Ttc don't see anything but hope it shows up in the next few days!

As far as getting medical assistance - pixie you say 2 yrs? Here in Canada it's 12 months of ttc under 35 and 6 months over 35 and then they will intervene, usually with clomid as the first step.

 

[TexMel]

That really is a pretty chart!!! Lol good luck
For your Irish twin!

YCY TTC74, hoping it's a good sign for us both. I see you're cd7? When will you test?

I've already tested

This is the prettiest chart I've ever had! If it continues to look this good, I'll test daily.

You?

 

[sarah34]

Haha! I would lie ladies but my gp took my coil out in May so she knows how long we have been trying!

Do you know what meds a gp can prescribe without a referral? (If any) xx

 

[Tove]

TTC74 I think I might see something very faint, but only before I open the image. Line eye perhaps!

 

[JLObytheBeach]

I'm out for this month, basal temp took a nosedive this morning. Here is hoping for November.

 

[TexMel]

Sorry, JLo!

Sarah, I'm in the US, so I don't know the rules, but I would guess the gp could at least prescribe metformin without a referral.

 

[lilycakes22]

So far I'm still in for October (again!). I'll probably test this weekend (28th) if AF does not decide to come tomorrow according to my tracker Clue. I caved and tried on Sunday as it was our first year anniversary and had hoped to surprised DH, also I kept dreaming and waking up thinking I had tested while sleep walking or something lol (I have a history of sleep walking) anyways keeping positive as there was a hint of pale pink spotting on Sunday afternoon and that was it. I'm hoping that's a good sign.

Sorry to those who had their AF visit 😣

I'm super excited for all the BFPs! October isn't done 😀

That what I was told when I queried about it as it was within the time length and to go back when it was after 2 years if it was the conventional way, longer if using sperm in a cup
They won’t prescribe clomid unless it is a last resort after all the others(metformin etc)
They won’t even do HCG blood tests here In the UK on nhs, so I don’t expect much else lol

Haha! I would lie ladies but my gp took my coil out in May so she knows how long we have been trying!

Not that I’m aware of Sarah unless they have a fertility specialist(would order blood tests etc) within the gp surgery otherwise would be referral to the general hospital

But I’m guessing you went for a private scan to have a Check and I’m sure that will go in your favour with a referral from the doctor well before the time limit, do you still have pics and results as I’m sure they will help get you in for tests quicker then the usual time

 

[ToriTami]

Ok ladies, I caved. Today is 10 dpiui. Stark white bfn. I'll try to wait a couple more days, but the stash of cheapies is calling my name

The scan was actually a referral one from the gp, I was surprised how quickly it came through actually!! I went in because of my irregular periods and had a blood test on 20/09 and a scan yesterday.

Thank you so much for your help. This stuff is so confusing and it’s nice to talk to people who understand xx

 

[Pixie2982]

Sarah that’s even better then as gp will already have the results too and will send referral to hospital for further testing

I’m thinking if your gp was able to refer you to have a scan then I think there may be fertility specialists within the surgery as not all have them so you might be lucky
Which means everything could possibly go through your gp rather then hospital fertility specialists

 

[Cppeace]

Tori those ICs do call your name ever so loud in the tww don't they lol Don't worry you're not the only who hears their siren call.

Good luck when you retest!

 

[TTC74]

Anyone see anything? Inverted there is a line.

 

[cb86]

I can’t see anything on that picture, sorry

 

[Alligator]

I couldn't see anything on my computer screen but I think I can on my phone...I can't tell if it has colour though. Fx!!!
