Allo ladies! Wondering if there are any other over 35's (apparently the age of fertility suicide, who knew?) ttc for over a year wanting to chat? If so, pour yourself some virtual wine and let the chatting commence!

Sorry Ginger :( although if Tranquility is anything to go by we could both still be in the running as AF hasn't made an appearance yet - I live in hope!!

Hope it's good news for Tranquility

Mampam very belated Congratulations! I've just seen you announced your good news when I was having a little break a few weeks ago.

KEGirlOnFire · 24/04/2014 19:23

Ahhh sorry ginger, it's just shite isn't it... weirdly I was a dday late this month aswell - really annoying...

Nothing from tranquility?? I hope she's ok...

How you feeling mampam, any scan dates/preg stories etc to cheer us up with. Did you sort out midwife apt issues?

The 2ww is awful, it gets me every time. You're still in with a chance, just takes 1 wee swimmer.

I've had cramps & spotting for last few days so not too optimistic, been convinced I'm out several times now. However now a day late (first time since been on clomid). Don't want to test as hate seeing the bfn but boozy night out tomorrow so gonna have to. Gulp. And sore boobs, but not sure if that's because of Pilates ....

Tranquility good luck. My hpts were also quite faint to begin with, for at least a week or so before they started getting darker. Don't give up hope.

Fankletastic · 24/04/2014 13:07

So so Ginger. I think I'm 7dpo so halfway through the two weeks of torture. Don't know why I'm even bothering to count as think chance of success is even slimmer this cycle (due to DH being away for work most of last week).

How about you? Any symptoms? What day are you on?

KEgirl- did you post a link to the red dress? Maybe I missed that?

Well this is all rather exciting! Fingers crossed for you Tranquility- hope your Dr can put your mind at ease and reassure you a bit that this is perfectly ok.

Why can't it just be simple, eh? All this worry is no good for us old bids!

KEGirlOnFire · 24/04/2014 11:28

Tranquility, thinking of you hun. I felt exactly as you did, confused, not quite sure what was happening. I hope your appointment goes Ok with the GP but unfortunately they won't be able to tell you much until 48 hours. They'll take some blood today and then again on Saturday (you may have to go to the EPU for that though unless your surgery is open on a Saturday).

Have you had anymore spotting? Mine was very on and off.

I'm sure that yours will be a different ending to mine though. FX for you hun.

xxxxxxxxxx

I think we've formed a cheering squad for you Tranquility :)

Tranquil....keeping fx for you, good luck at the doctors later xx

sebsmummy1 · 24/04/2014 10:04

Looks like a line to me! From what I understand it's not how quickly your hcg levels rise. It's that they rise enough by key times if that makes sense. So you could be a slow hcg riser but it doesn't mean the pregnancy isn't viable.

Still a line Tranquility :) I think it's looking good x

Tranquilitybaby · 24/04/2014 09:38

This is the test I did at 5am. Not very strong line if I'm potentially 5 weeks.

What about going for a walk to kill time. That helps me with stress?
