Over 40 ttc - Autumn baby dust for me!

Wishing - I can see that line.....fingers crossed it gets darker and darker.

Rose - I’m sorry it wasn’t as positive an outcome as you’d hoped. What a hard thing to do to just sit and wait for two weeks! Is a private scan an option?

AFM - still no ovulation & still getting hot flashes. So depressed. Going to stick with the TCM and the six sessions of acupuncture I’ve paid for then think about booking to see an endocrinologist. Even if it is peri menopause im worried 42 is just too young for this. Apart from wanting another baby I’m worried about my general health. Im getting tired from not sleeping well and they say that low oestrogen for years can be a risk for bone health. Feeling v v down.

@wishing I can see it! Keeping the fingers crossed it'll get darker over the next few days. I got my solid smiley on Tuesday ... have frers in cupboard...have had pinches, pulls and slight cramps...now resisting the urge to crack them open 😊

I have also wondered about being scanned in one week rather than two, but at the time I couldn’t think straight and I just accepted everything they said. Part of the problem of going on my own I guess.

Wishing - I can see it. Fingers crossed!

Chat and Cleo, Thanks. I'm ok I think. Clearly not at the end of my ttc journey just yet!

Rose, it's sounding positive. Do you have to wait 2 weeks? And why? I would have thought you should be able to get a scan in a week?

@Presh12345 try again in a few days.. 🤞🤞
@WishingonaStar77 can just see it 🤞 @Taxgirl1 I hate it when news comes out of the blue like that.. it's gutting big hugs..
welcome @Realitysucks

Congratulations wishing.... I definitely see a second line.
Rose..... I have a feeling that this pregnancy will work out for you.... fingers crossed

Thanks all.. will update in a few days x

@Rose68 good news that the spotting has stopped 😊 I’m sorry you’re stuck in limbo for 2weeks - hope it passes quickly for you xxx

I see a clear second line, but it looks kinda close to the control line to me? Definitely try again in two days - I really hope this is it for you @wishingonastar77 🤞

I see it! How exciting!

@Orchid222 - thank you.

As for me.... I still feel nauseous (on and off) and my boobs are still slightly tender (the same as they have been all the way through). Plus I haven’t been spotting for the last couple of days. I am 2 days into a very long 13 day wait, and I have no idea what to think. x

@WishingonaStar77 , yes, early days and try to stay away from poas till at least day 13-14 . Fingers crossed for you!
@Presh12345 , think it's early days! Again, try to poas in a couple of days. Everything crossed for you

Thanks Cleozeta.. I'm not going to mention it to DP until I'm sure.. just hate seeing his sad face when it doesn't work out. Think that breaks my heart the most x

Thanks Russkispy I'm not counting my chickens though.. been here before as many have.. I'm only 6DPO as I got my solid smiley on Monday just gone.
So I'm thinking it's far far too early. But there IS Def a line I can see it clearer at home than on the pics.. x

Presh - too early! Try again in a few days

Taxgirl - it's surprisingly heartbreaking when we get news like that, we shoukd be happy for them, but it just hurts. Hope you are ok.

Wishing - I can see it! Fingers crossed for you. Give it another couple of days and test again, it'll hopefully be much darker by then.

Apparently we are more fertile after a chemical but I'm trying not to pin my hopes on that!

@WishingonaStar77 yes I can see the line! Tentative congratulations! How many dpo are you now?!

This is it.. I think you can just about see it x

Afternoon Ladies,

Will feel a bit stupid if this doesn't turn into anything but I'm sure I'm only about 5dpo although my OPK test was odd this month and last month was a CP so it could be a bit off.

But I've been getting some little pricks and pulls in my tummy last night and today and I know from being pregnant before you do get than.

But no surely I'm being stupid nothing can happen yet it's far too early! But being a POAS addict I couldn't resist and did a FRER test just and couldn't believe my eyes.. is this an evap line and I should put the tests away and wait another week?

Thoughts to those who haven't had good news recebtly.. it sucks big time x

Ugh, I just met my brother and his wife - they are hard work at the best of times - they are expecting number 2 of course - thought that's why they wanted to meet up. I am floored. Clearly my head's not as straight as I thought because I'm in bits.

So had IUI last saturday. Counting Saturday, that makes me 9dpiui. POAS and got a BFN. 😪

@Taxgirl1 and @PetraRabbit...exactly my story too! Conceived at 40 ..3 months off 41 ...and nothing since although I have all the signs of ovulation every month. Think we haven't tried hard enough.

@Rose68 ... sorry to hear the scan result wasn't as expected..thinking of you and sending love x

@CritterTamer... wow that sounds fantastic! How exciting..good luck at next scan x

@Realitysucks... welcome to what has got to be one of the most persevering strongest group of ladies ever in the history of mumsnet! Good luck with your journey x

@Petrarabbit - not silly or nosey at all!

Critter- the silly, nosy questions I end up asking when I'm enjoying someone else's fertility haha! I find all this stuff fascinating.

@Petrarabbit - ah sorry I see what you mean. No there are two entirely separate sacs so definitely the result of the two embryos 😊

Didn't want to look stupid...I do understand how twins develop but wondered if it was possible two were implanted but one didn't make it and the other divided spontaneously into identicals.....obviously not the most likely thing but you hear of identicals through IVF occasionally!!! Whatever they are will be so exciting!
