Over 40 ttc - summer baby dust for me!

Just popping on briefly to send a massive virtual hug to you Booseysmom. . Sorry I’ve not been able to post very much recently (partly because of lots of stuff going on) and partly because I’m just trying to come to terms with the fact that I don’t think it’s going to happen for me and I’m sort of struggling with it a bit - sometimes I’m ok others not . AF due Wednesday and I’ve akready tested like a woman possessed . Anyway although I’m not posting regularly I pop in very often and read all your posts. I will try and post more often but forgive me if I dont. Sending positive vibes and hugs to all of you - and if course lots of luck and babydust xx

Thanks Chat. ..that means alot

Oh @BooseysMom I'm so sorry things are really pants at the moment... hope your hubs is making a slow but good recovery.. you are on this journey with us.. and we are all here for each other... sending big hugs xxx

Chat..sorry about your bfn.
I haven't posted for a few days as we've had a horrendous time with DH getting what we were told was a re-occurrence of his pleurisy he had last year. Paramedics out at 2am and DS sleeps thru the whole thing! ! The idiot doctors make him take really strong antibiotics then decide it actually isn't pleurisy after all but a severe chest infection.. Make your bloody mind up doc!! We're now facing financial difficulty as DH may well not be able to go back to his postie job as it was being over worked that caused it..i say sue the bastards! ! Which means ttc is prob off the menu permanently as we just can't afford dc2 😭
Sorry for such a downer but i may just give up now...but maybe i could still participate as an onlooker as i'm interested to hear how you're all doing. You ladies are my only friends ffs!!

Sorry it was bfn chat, how disappointing. Not over yet through until af arrives!

I can't remember how long delivery from woods takes, may have been a week?

Ah Chat, so sorry - I think we were all really excited for a bit there

Mimosa - such good news for you, hopefully everything will return to normal now!

2 negative tests this morning so must have just been a duff test.. sorry ladies.. my ubiquinol that I ordered from woods last week hasn't arrived yet... is that normal for them?

Mimosa thats great that you are back on track. Sounds more like something that delayed ov rather than anything perimenopausal.

Good luck with your test today chat!

Orchid have you tried ebay for ubiquinol deals?

Oh @Chat I am keeping everything crossed for you! we definitely need a positive on this thread!

@apple, welcome to the thread, I too am considering IVF and I will let no stats put me off, there has to be a chance HAS to be!

DH and I have been DTD every second morning, so I am hoping something sticks! will try to keep going until AF does or doesn't arrive in approx 13 -14 days from now!

Oooh Chat that’s so exciting! Keep us posted.

Ali - sadly not no. Sex is low on the agenda at the moment for various reasons. I’m also having a couple of cycles off ttc as the stress is getting us down. I’ll still post though as not giving up fully. How are u?
Cleo - yes I did an opk which was positive. I am very pleased it wasn’t an anovulatory yes. Fully expecting af 14 days from that opk. Glad to just have my cycle back if I’m honest!

Exciting!!

Scratch that last comment just read an Interesting thread on evap lines.. there is HGC in my system.. how the hell has that happened??? I had an af, bitching cramps, bleeding not many clots.. in slight panic about an ectopic but am experiencing no pain in ovary or tube area.. and would have thought that would be having some twinges or pain.. head is spinning 😱😱🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I wonder if it could be an evap line? But with the spotting over last few days am mega confused.. more tests bought.. we'll see what tomorrow brings

No pressure at ALL then ladies 🤣🤣🤣

Well good luck for tomorrow then - like Weasle said we are all now excited - we really need a BFP on this thread 😊

@CritterTamer day 43... hadn't even thought about a mid morning wee being too diluted.. will test again tomorrow morning.. I didn't think a false positive but not sure if that's possible just thought a crappy test.. was only a Poundland one.. go through too many to have expensive ones.. xx

Too late chat, we are now all excited!! 😉

@Chatbash72 what CD are you? Could it just be that the second test was too dilute for it to show if it’s really early? Don’t think it’s possible to get a positive HPT unless there is some HCG in your system....🤞

Dip not drip 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Blimey hormonal rollercoaster over the last 12 hrs.... so this morning I did a test and bollocksed it up.. ( will drip in future.. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣) left it and when I went back to look one strong and one faint line!!! But before you all get too excited re did later after bought another couple it was a bfn.. however keep bursting into tears so hormones are up the spout.. should have got so opk tests but think probably due to ov.. dtd last night so tubes are cleared out ( his not mine 😉) hopefully energy for dtd again tonight.. hope all is ok with you ladies.. xx

Critter - yes I went straight from low to peak for the first time ever this cycle. That was a bit odd as I normally have around 4 high's too. Not sure whats going on there!

Thanks Orchid. I guess hormones still aren’t quite back to normal it’s been an odd month - hopefully everything will be back to normal next month 😊
@Chatbash72 I hope you had a safe trip home from your break and have figured out what was going on with your spotting!
