Over 40 TTC - lots of baby dust for us...3!

Sending hugs @EC22

Well I'm out AF has arrived! I really think we gave it our best shot this month so I think either DH's swimmers are a bit decrepit or my eggs are past their sell buy date ☹️ we both said if it didn't happen naturally we would give up and be grateful for what we have.

I think we will give it until the end of the summer though!

Good luck to everyone else

*10 days that should have said!

@EC22 sorry to hear things aren’t going well. Hope you are feelong as ok as you can be x

Hope everyone’s start to the week has been ok. I’m still stuck in limbo waiting for my period to return after the erpc three weeks ago. I’ve been testing with opks and got positive tests for around 10, so I don’t think my body is back to normal yet :(

@karryk thank you!
@rubyroot all my pregnancies were results of fertility treatments and I was always "drugged" up from before and after procedure and I always had some symptoms as a result. This time is natural pregnancy and so different and new to me. Just hoping all is going well.

@EC22 I'm really sorry to hear that. Hoping for a miracle for you. I've heard of people who have bled and had inconclusive scans and it been okay.

I know you might feel like giving up. I certainly did after my tfmr on 2018. Just give it time x.

@russkispy hope you're coping okay. I had sore breasts which went away and came back. They're my only symptoms presently. Apart from this god awful pain in my side which I now need pain killers for.

I'm starting to wonder if it's pooh related. One can only hope!

I've been lurking quietly 🙂

Sending lots of love @EC22 ❤️❤️

And fingers crossed for @rubyroot and @Russkispy 🤞🏼✨🙏🏼 I didn't get any symptoms until after week 6 xxx

@SparrowSG good to hear from you. Was wondering how you were getting on. Guess your first IVF didn't work. Have you got any Frosties left? Or you'll have to start all over again!? Short or long protocol?
I'm still here, around 5w3d and still no symptoms. Booked an early scan end of July, a couple of days before our 4th wedding anniversary. 🙏🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

IV just lost the plot, one minute I think I'm having symptoms and the next I'm upset coz I don't have any lol! I'm not due af till a week today but I ovulated on the 6th and 7th (I peaked on my cbfm), today especially IV had more thicker white cm though so I think I read somewhere that that's a sign of af coming ? Aww ladies I hope your pregnancies are ok at your next checks. sparrow sounds like a win win plan you have going on there, And chatbash your messages make me laugh. I think we have the same sense of humour lol! Hugs to all of you ladies xx

Ooh ladies sending lots of love to you all and keeping fingers crossed for you all..
I have brain ache my 20 year old was back at the weekend and it was awful, has had dreadful ramifications for the family.. but we powered through and still managed to dtd a few times.. a story to save for her older age... "that dreadful weekend we conceived your younger sibling" power of positive thinking..

anywho it's a full moon tonight so my crystals are going to need a recharge..
lots of love and positivity thrown out to you all 💕💕💕

I had a scan today due to spotting which had turned to bleeding. Scan was inconclusive. Bloods were taken, Ive to go back on Thursday but I can just tell the pregnancy is failing.
I have done a lot of crying but coming to terms with it, I don’t think I will try again.

I accept full responsibility for the thread temporarily stopping. I was the last to post before the quietness. I am a bit of a thread ender I have to say!

So waiting to hear hcg and then I think they'll ask me to do another. Though I'm supposed to be going away on hols. So they saw what they thought was a normal luteal cyst on ovary (but can't be sure it's not eptopic) and a tiny speck in uterus which could be the start of a pregnancy so concluded that it was pregnancy of unknown location.

The sonographer couldn't explain my weird pains but she did say that usually you wouldn't get pain from ectopic until about 7 weeks

I was wondering if everyone disappeared lol. Still here, still not ovulating. Trying to stay hopeful that my body hasn't given up on me.

Hi all. Had awful pains on left hand side so investigated for possible ectopic today. Currently inconclusive. I'm currently around 4.5 although it's anyone's guess as no period after Chem pregnancy and I had run out of ovulation tests

I'm ok, ploughing on!
Had a crap ovulation this cycle, ewcm on cd11, +opk cd13 then no temp rise until cd17. Just seems to be getting slower and slower. But grateful to still be ovulating so can't complain.
Everyone else ok? Super quiet over the last few days!

Hmmm - good luck!

I know we've all gone quiet!

I'm ok thanks. Cd28 no sign of AF yet but feeling some symptoms. Last cycle was 30 days so 2 more days to wait

How is everyone else?

Is everyone ok ?

Thank you @Hobbes39 so nice to hear your update. My twins are identical, they share the same placenta but have separate sacs. I have 2 weekly scans to check for TTTS which happens in some id twin pregnancies. I feel ok after the scan (all good news so far and even growth) but then in the run up to my next scan I feel anxious! Next one is Wednesday so I'm panicking a bit.

Know what you mean about size! I look a couple of months ahead. They plan to deliver the babies at 36 weeks so i suppose it's a month less near enough 😂

It's perfectly ok to moan, it doesn't mean you're not grateful for being pregnant but hell twin pregnancy is nothing like singleton pregnancy! I've got 3 others and wasn't quite prepared for this 😂

@Elles1980 have an 18 month to distract me, but it's not enough and can't even have a glass of wine.. Ffs!

@rubyroot bless you Hun, it's so hard but remember symptoms come and go and cramps and aches are inevitable especially first trimester and more so at the very beginning as so much is changing and growing! Easy to say relax bit I know I'll be exactly the same if/when my time comes too! Sending massive hugs and hopefully you can find something to occupy yourself xx

So had very disturbed night last night. Felt crampy, so worried about another Chem pregnancy. I woke up at 6.30 and was not constipated anymore (never a good sign for me!) Boobs had stopped hurt g too. I tested last night and again this morn and the one this morn looked lighter.

Then I woke again, boobs seem to be hurting again, looked at the tests and they look the same now, to be fair they were only taken 8 hours apart. I know I shouldn't test, but just felt so crampy last night.

Gosh it's such an anxious time, nothing I can do though is there but wait.

Yeah honestly, a stuffy nose was the first then I became all achey and sore and had mild cramps so thought I had a cold and was going to af early also, 2 weeks later bfp. I still never knew that was a symptom till recently. It was in may after my MC I started researching and lurking around chats and have all this new knowledge xx

Really @Elles1980 ?! I'm more inclined to think I'm just run down as it would be VERY early it's handy to know what to look out for just in case though.
Our bodies are so strange, we are sure we know ourselves but end up questioning everything xx

Sorry @Ec22 amazing news! Have the best day xx

@catlock this could be a very early sign, stuffy noses cold like symptoms, I had exactly that in march when I was pregnant and though I was just I'll. Although saying that were all very different and I would hate to give false hope but it may very well be......I'll keep my fingers crossed for you xx
