Hi all,
Tentatively stepping back in here! Have been a member here since I had my first in 2009. DH and I have unexplained secondary infertility (I do have endometriosis but it apparently shouldn't be causing an issue as my tubes are clear) and have been TTC#2 on-and-off for 4 years.
We've been through all the stages of desperation, each of us taking our turns to change our mind, NTNP etc. In the last 6 months or so we've dealt with all our emotional issues surrounding our infertility and other parts of our marriage. We feel like an entirely new couple and tbh I kind of feel like this is just the beginning of us trying now! (No doubt I'll be fed up and desperate again in a few months haha)
Anyway, with everything that's been going on, I've gotten out of the loop of TTC knowledge. I don't want to go too overboard as I drove myself crazy previously, over thinking everything, and DH is so wonderfully enthusiastic now that I don't want to dampen that. So I'm taking a good mix of preconception vitamins, I'm tracking my cycle on an app, will record CM if/when it's noticeable and I'm leaving it at that for now. I'm currently recovering from a laparoscopy (endo) and having my first period post-surgery, and then we should be ready to get started.
But as I say, I feel like I'm out of the loop a little. So at the end of all this waffle I'm asking, what do you all consider to be the best early-indication HPT these days? Is it still FRER? I'm going to try not to test early. Or at least *too* early. But my cycles can be a bit irregular due to the endo so it's often difficult to tell if I'm actually late or not. I'm in the UK.
Thanks lovelies!
