Ohhh that’s a definite line. :) congratulations

Definite line there Cookie, great news for a Friday morning!

mondaycando1 · 10/08/2018 07:27

Oh @cookie beyond awesome!!!!

Started this month's dtd fest as it's day 8 & I seem to be having 28/29 day cycles I figure at least every other day for the next 10 days might crack it.

CookieWaffle · 10/08/2018 05:39

So... here you go. Much stronger than last month, second time lucky? :)

Over 40 ttc - August baby dust for me!

I could Orchid but I haven't got any in!

I'm due on tomorrow so will just hope AF doesn't arrive. If it hasn't by Monday then I will test then. I've got my hopes up and tested early before only to be disappointed so I'd rather think I'm in with realistic shot before I buy more tests!!

Yes Mellon when are you testing? At 14dpo you should get a valid result. Weasle you'd be testing at 10dpo wouldn't you? Grin
I wasn't going to test until Tuesday but I just bought some tests and might use them on Sunday only because if by some miracle it is positive I'd like to start progesterone as soon as I know.

Ooooo cookie sounds promising!
And melon when you testing???! Smile

mellongoose · 09/08/2018 16:30

Thinking of you, Cookie and Orchid.

I'm 14dpo (I think). No symptoms particularly. However I've been reading the pregnancy and conception boards and loads of people don't have symptoms. If I remember rightly from DD (my only known pregnancy) I only POAS because we were trying.

I was pretty knackered but no more then I am now! When I had my 12wk scan I thought they would say I'd been making it all up!!

This time I'm bloated, knackered (a real hottie Grin)

We will see!! I'm either pregnant or letting myself go!!!!!

CookieWaffle · 09/08/2018 16:18

Thanks :) this tww has been the longest and most stressful yet!

@cookie keeping my fingers crossed for you!

CookieWaffle · 09/08/2018 16:04

Going to the loo alot, boobs are killing me, feeling run down, weird tastes and smells and the odd twinges. Had a very faint line yesterday but holding judgement after last month's CP....

Good luck Cookie, fingers crossed! Any symptoms? I have another 5 days to go, bored of waiting...

I'm hoping I can give you a BFP in the next day or two.... xxx

Cleo I agree with you completely but in my case I've convinced myself it's not happening because of my age and I'm sure the stress from panicking about time running out is not helping.

OP posts:
Cleozeta · 09/08/2018 12:45

I think the problem with it takimg a long time at our age, is some of us don't have long left. By the time we've waited the few years it may take, it's game over. We get lucky or we don't. It's all down to chance.

Sorry for such negative post earlier. On a more positive side, many of these ladies were in their 30's which made me think that maybe the fact we're all taking a while to conceive doesn't have that much to do with our age and it's just the way it goes, sometimes it takes a while and hopefully there is a light at the end of the ttc tunnel for all of us.
