Elderberry Pavlovas And The Eternal Sausage of Wang (Part 4): a frightfully good thread for the over-30s TTC their first baby.

Still sounding hopeful 2cats!! Maybe invest in a FRER? When is AF actually due?

Hope it is! Get one of those clear blue digital tests that tells you without lines maybe?!

I take it back, there is a shadow. More visible than yesterday (ie i can see a tiny bit of colour down the side) of the strip but still very very very faint. I am not counting this as a positive as it comes so close towards the end of the time and is only visible because i have line eye but hopeful!

Time limit not quite up but nothing i'm afraid. Could still be too early (or yesterday could have been a super super sensitive one), or yesterday was an evap. Will try again tomorrow

Fingers xd for you x

Ok give me 10 mins and I'll be back...have a feeling this will be a giant let down. Temps still nice and high though

Yes get piddling 2cats

Just realised that if I'd magically gotten pg first month of trying then I'd just be going on maternity leave now

Any news 2cats?? [impatient emoticon]

I say wait 2cats you can do it!

2catsmy sensible head says prob best to wait until morning as urine will be less diluted and result will be more accurate. But hey who am I kidding - if I had a stack of tests and there was a chance I'd get a BFP I'd be POAS morning, noon and night!

Right.... I have been 'holding' since 6.30pm, should i POAS tonight? (I am not concerned/worried about getting a negative as am one of those people who enjoys POAS, and would prefer to also have a BFN than AF turn up unexpectedly, plus I am impatient, and plus I think my pee sticks cost about 15p each!!)

Really pleased to hear your news captain - must be a relief

Happy I felt down about getting older too but really it's only another day... with cake and presents

2cats hope it's good news for you!

good news captain glad you are getting answers

Omg 2cats FX and I am well jel

Bring on the bunch of BFPs for us all, I wanna graduate!!!!!

Captain good to hear your news!

Happy birthday happy another aquarius?

We had a lovely night away last night as DP has a 'vital' squash match this eve. But I'm cooking him a nice meal for when he comes in. Guess I'd better shift my butt off the sofa then and stop scoffing all my birthday chocs

happy happy birthday!
Anyone doing anything nice tonight? We're having valentines tomorrow eve so tv and pee sticks for me

Brilliant news about Humperdinck being harmless Captain and glad things are moving in the right direction for you
2cats keep us posted!!

Hit the dreaded 35 today and just realised I won't have a baby before I'm 36 if I don't get upduffed in the next few months. When did I get so old gaaaaah!!

Good news captain... You're getting answers which is positive

rache1 I was below cover line on cd8 and currently a decent way above it. Am praying!

Thank you all for your excitement and finger crossing... Suspect I may have to POaS later in the hope the line is visible enough to show to DH!!

Fx 2cats!

I finally got to talk to my gynae today. MRI result shows my lump is a harmless fibroid & both my ovaries are fine. I'm now on the waiting list for lap&dye. DH gets his SA results next week.

Me again 2cats, the BFP stalker.

I had weird bleeding on my BFP cycle. I am usually 28 days regular as clockwork and never ever have any spotting in between.

I had a full day of bright red blood at 8 DPO (thought AF was a whole week early) which tailed off and stopped at 9DPO, and then I had half a day of disgusting brown CM at 11 DPO. I was thinking WTF is my body doing? My BBT dropped below cover at 10 DPO so I would say the brown stuff the day after the BBT drop was implantation bleeding and it's still a complete mystery as to what the other bleeding was!

I have got everything crossed for you!

Ooh exciting 2cats! Am keeping fingers crossed for you!! Can't believe you only dtd once this month!

So, SO exciting 2cats!!! Agree, what an awesome Valentine's present for you & DH!!! keep us posted!

I ordered 50 Super sensitive IC tests pre wedding so have a huge stack just waiting to be used.... It's so tempting to keep peeing!
Anyway don't read this during your tea... TMI. I now have dark brown CM, lots of it. I have never had anything like this before, ever. The 'dark' bit is the strange bit. I'm starting to think this cycle is one I should just strike out as I had spotting for 7 days after AF, and then CD 22,25,25 and 27 and now this!! I've barely had a day without some kind of bleeding FFS!
Anyway will POanotherS in the morn and keep you posted but suspect its not going to be my month. In the meantime I may just go ask a question about implantation bleeding to see if anyone has ever had anything like this....

oooo fingers crossed 2cats - I got excited for about 30 seconds this month cos there was a faint line on a pee stick that I'd forgotten about from the night before, but must have just been an evap line for me (unless Jagermeister contains hcg ) - fx your line keeps reappearing.... [oh, and in case everyone didn't know, mr google says superdrug tests are really bad for evap lines that look just like a faint positive - think I'll be avoiding those tests in future, or at least making sure they are firmly in the bin before 10 mins is up]
