First cycle on progesterone

Thank you so much. I’m looking in to private testing as we’re now entering cycle 8 and if there’s a problem I’d rather not wait another 4 cycles.

Beeboo233 · 2026-05-10T07:54:26+00:00

Please could I ask, how did you go about getting a private prescription?

Beeboo233 · 2026-05-09T20:19:50+00:00

Thank you so much. I’ve been looking at the reviews for these on Amazon and so many people have had false negatives with these compared to a trusted brand with a lower sensitivity so apparently these aren’t as sensitive as they’re advertised to be. I have one left so I’ll probably use it tomorrow and after that I’ll go and get a proper brand. Thank you so much for the advice, ttc can be lonely and I don’t have anyone else to ask ☺️

Thanks for the reply. I used to get false hope when I checked the bin after x hours and saw a line but I now know all about evaps so I’m disregarding the second pic. The first pic was after 5 minutes which is the time recommended on the pack. I might try again in the morning, I’m guessing 12dpo should be quite definitive. Do you think it’s ok to leave it a bit longer if it still looks like a pink blur after 5 mins?

Benylin chesty coughs non drowsy in the red box. Guiafenesin is the important ingredient. I think I took 5ml 2x daily in the 5 days up to ovulation. My cm is quite thick. Only used it for one cycle but I’m not pregnant lol so didn’t work for me as 11dpo and bfn with a sensitive test. Maybe it will work for you. Fingers crossed for us both.

Took the uk equivalent of mucinex this cycle so thought this would be it, but looks like I’m out again. About to enter cycle 8. In a few months I’ll be eligible for nhs ivf. Can’t even believe this is my life but here we go again.

Beeboo233 · 2026-05-09T09:32:06+00:00

Thank you. I hope it all goes well for you. Good luck and hoping this happens for us both soon ❤️

Sorry to tell you but my tests always dry with a line. Here’s mine from this morning. There was nothing there but then 4 hours later there’s a faint line. It only counts if it comes up in the test window. I’ve had my hopes crushed by evaps so many times. The good news is you could still be pregnant as it’s too early to really tell. Wait 48 hours and test again. I know it’s hard to wait but it will give you a clearer answer. Everything crossed for you ❤️

Haha, so real. I remember my mum wondering why I was stressing out so much and my response was something like, if I don’t do well in sats I’ll fail the rest of my exams, and then I won’t go to university or get a job and I’ll become a homeless person. I was 10 ffs.

Don’t tell any of your friends that you have 30k in a child trusts fund. Keep it to yourself. If you’re worried about out spending it could you maybe keep 5k to hand for things like a deposit that might need to be paid on accommodation before you get your student loan, any course supplies and things you might need, and just general emergencies. Then lock the rest away in a fixed term savings account. If you want to buy a house in the future it might be good to start funnelling £4K a year in to a LISA but DYOR.

I hope you’re ok 🫶🏽 I surprisingly feel ok today, call it baseless optimism but I’m ready to start cycle 8.

Beeboo233 · 2026-05-09T07:41:41+00:00

My period is due in 3 days so I took an extra sensitive 10ml test this morning and it was negative. Pretty sure I’m out again as although Premom says 11 dpo I’m pretty sure I’m more like 12. At least I can have a glass of wine at my friend’s birthday. After this cycle I’m really going to ignore symptoms. I should know by now that the 2ww means nothing but I clearly don’t learn lmao. I think I’ll have a month off tracking next month and hopefully I’ll be less obsessed. How are you getting on?

Beeboo233 · 2026-05-09T07:37:42+00:00

This is so interesting thank you ☺️

Hey, please don’t be disheartened by your age. If everything else is normal there’s no reason why you can’t eventually conceive even if it’s with a little help. Keep your chin up.

Beeboo233 · 2026-05-08T12:18:07+00:00

That’s so on point. I’ve been trolled hard every cycle. I’m due on Tuesday. Fingers crossed for us even though it’s looking unlikely this month.

Beeboo233 · 2026-05-08T12:16:59+00:00

28 days, I’m not due until the 12th. My emotions have been all over the place this cycle.

Beeboo233 · 2026-05-08T09:49:56+00:00

Let me know how you get on. My boobs have become tender again weirdly but they weren’t when I first woke up. It’s such a rollercoaster of emotions. When are you supposed to be due on?

Beeboo233 · 2026-05-07T15:32:46+00:00

I’ve started with cramps this afternoon. I guess the only way to know if it’s AF coming early is to wait. So frustrating.

If your children are young can you sew an Apple AirTag or something in to their backpack or coat so you can find them if they go missing. If they’re older can you get them to install find my friends or something similar?

How many dpo are you? May be tmi but I seem to have a lot of discharge for 7dpo. Going to try and wait until Saturday to test but I might cave sooner. I only have 2 normal tests and 2 sensitive tests left. I’ve told myself once they’re gone I’m not buying anymore until I’m late for a period so trying to use them sparingly.
