Over 40 ttc - August baby dust for me!

Still no AF!

Thanks sparrow, glad I'm not the only one forking out!! Might check ebay too, that makes sense. 180 better that 249!! I just can't be arsed with temping any more, but love a bit of data.
Meglinco, sorry I can't see the lines (can't enlarge the pic on my phone, so too small to see) but fingers crossed for you.
Mimosa, thanks, I hope its just that. I think I'm the same as you, anything can mess mine up too! Although I've ov'd every cycle for a year now so probably due a screwy one

Any better its faint

Meg - really sorry but I can’t read those tests. The lines seem odd.... anyone else help out?

Oh man, I turn my back for two minutes and everyone is pregnant! Also welcome to all newbies, I’m sorry I can’t keep up with everyone by name but it’s so reassuring to have so many of us over 40s ttc.

Eloisa - congratulations! I think you were the person who recommended Fertile Heart? I read both her books, they are amazing. Do you think it has helped you get pregnant?

Cleo - I do think traveling can mess up cycles yes. These days anything can mess mine up. Don’t stress yet.

Cleo I bought an Ava last month, thought as I’d just forked out a shed load on IVF I might as well add a couple more hundred!!

I bought mine from eBay though, there are quite a few nearly new that come up for sale and I paid £180, think it was only used for a couple of months.

Can’t really comment on if it’s helpful or not as I’ve not covered a full cycle yet, but it’s interesting the data it gives you. Just have to remember to put it on every night before sleeping which is the challenge for me!

Looks like we are starting to get some positive stories, fingers crossed for everyone

There darker in colour in person i did a clear blue and they said negative but they were digital ? I was on the pill but my last one was june july time think the end of july !! Xx

They look promising @meglinco , but hard to be sure as there's not a lot of colour in the lines. Could,you splash out in a First Response? When was your period due?

Thanks for welcome Cleo!
Congrats to all the BFP’s! Hoping this thread is lucky!!

Mine are a very faint line so you have to look closely

I took these like 9-14 of them are like this but clear blue digital is saying im not , iv never been pregnant what a birthday present if i am 🤣 fella thinks im being an over thinker

Karigan thankyou! Hopefully that is the case and just I'll ov a week later than normal.

Congrats teacup! I don't think I've ever seen so many bfp's on one of our threads before!

Welcome panky and funkypuzzle. Sorry about your loss funky, that must have been hard. I'm not surprised you wanted to wait a while after that. Fingers crossed this time for success

Yes meglinco, do you have a pic?

Hello. Can I join in? I'm 40 and TTC DC3. I had an early miscarriage 4 months ago - we weren't really "trying", just not preventing since birth of DC2 2 years ago, but after the miscarriage decided we definitely want DC3. I've just got my period today (just after getting a negative HPT) and am feeling a bit sad and deflated. DC1 was a happy accident and DC2 was conceived first cycle so this is a relative struggle, though I know how lucky we are.

Can i ask someones opinion on a test ? Iv never been pregnant so i dont know what im looking for ???

Thank you @user1483961132
Not feeling too positive at the mo but think that's the 1st day of af... the bitching cramps tend to zap the positivity out of you, on hols and hubs being a mega pain.. congratulations @TeacupTattoo if I haven't already said it, congrats to @Lumpy76 too I have 5 and trying for 6th nice to have other mums of big families on her too I often feel a little guilty trying for number 6 when some lovelies haven't even had one, but no one have ever made me feel it... just inner guilt.. anyway nice to have some bfps' baby dust to a few more... now going to stuff my face with pate and soft cheese ( am in France) and have a couple of beers to console myself xx

It's so nice to see a flurry of BFPs on this thread, despite how nervous we all feel. Am genuinely hoping they all stick and you go on to have trouble-free pregnancies and healthy bouncing babies.

@Karigan198 you're keeping me positive so I thank you for that 💕. STILL no AF!

@teacuptattoo we are similar aren’t we?! My 1st mc was a long time ago too. The mmc was such a horrid experience and I waited for a natural mc and ended up haemorrhaging 😩. I’m desperately trying to keep my mind off things but can’t and have so far done 5 tests...just to prove it’s still positive! Of course that just puts the worry into ... is the line strong enough 🤦🏼‍♀️ so lovely to hear of someone as mad as me!! 😘

Ugh sorry Cleo. Car passenger typing that was

Hi I’m 41 and booked for Mirena removal next week. I have DS 1 and 2 and am TTC #3. I lost a baby 2 years ago after an abnormality was identified on the harmony test. I decided then that I needed to be be at peace and feel happy with my 2 boys. But more recently felt strong urges to try again.
I didn’t want to reach Menopause with regrets. Also DS2 is now 5 so much more independent.
So I shall try for a few months and see what happens.
I have so many worries about conceiving, miscarriage trisomys etc..
But I feel ready to face this now. I didn’t feel like that even a year ago.
Hope to share my experiences with you and support your journeys too. 💕💕💕

Clemo holidays do indeed throw it off. Every holiday I’ve been on I ovulated a week late!

And Mellon, I was pregnant without a BFP. Took a scan to see the pregnancy.

Hello all! Can I join you please? Currently trying for no3 (dp no1). I'm 41 and been TTC since May 2017 with one mc.
DP has low sperm and motility and i have pcos so we are on between us:
Q10
Zinc
Myo inositol
Vitamin c
Vitamin e
Royal jelly
Iron
Folate
L carnitine
L arginine

Anyway hope you're all well! Sticky baby dust to us all

Wow @Lumpy76 congratulations!! I'm very similar - I had a Mmc before my sixth two years ago; it's an awful situation isn't it. I'd also had a ruptured ectopic 12 years ago so only have one tube. Anyway...I've just found out an hour ago after joining this thread at start of month that that's us pregnant with no.7!!
Sending very nervous but over the moon baby dust to you all.

Wow lumpy, you are super mega fertile! Can you pass some of that dust this way?!
Congrats on your new bfp!

Hi...wanted to join this thread but you might now kick me out! I’m 42 and a half and have 8 children - 1 mc (1st pregnancy) and 1 mmc between babies 7 & 8. Baby 8 is now 21 months and I still feed him but Broodiness got the better of us and in June we decided to have a little go...I weirdly had a 26 day cycle that I’ve never in my entire life had..but knew I’d ovulated as it was a really strong ovulation and painful! Last month we decided to try a little harder... caught ovulation on opk - and low and behold after and didn’t show up and I was cd 35 (I often have 35 day cycles when having periods) I did a test....bfp!!! I’m scared rigid after having the mmc - can handle a straight forward mc but it was traumatic to find out on scan and then have a decision to make etc! Any how...that’s me!
