40 and TTC club anyone ??

Hi

How is everyone getting on?

I had a BPN this month. Disappointed. Laid off the coffee, no alcohol, ate healthily, bit of exercise, still tracking, got a peak, still taking supplements and of DTD as required.

Nothing else I can do.

I took soy this month which brought ovulation forward but then AF came 4 days early too.

I get night sweats prior and during AF but I always have so don't know if im peri menopausal or not. I'm 40 in 2 months. Going to try to get bloods done if can as no point in me doing all this is something else is wrong.

@Huffthepuff hi. I didn't go 😕 I have booked in with an actual fertility one for next Wednesday so will go and see what happens.

Sorry to hear about your negative 😔 i have finally stopped bleeding after my erpc so finally got to dtd it had been so long due to all the issues, so I'm back on ttc now even though I have no idea where I am in my cycle 🤦‍♀️

Wise decision @Jaysdream7 I should get out of the habit of testing as it's not helpful to be doing it so early. Better to wait for AF as you say

@kim80 how did the acupuncture go?

@Jaysdream7 I took another test this morning. Negative. Is that me out this month or do you think it would be too early to test? Have you taken one?

@Huffthepuff thanks for the information maybe i will chat to her and just explain i cant really afford that weekly monthly i would be happy with.

Thanks for the information 😊

Ooh @Jaysdream7 we can be anxious together!

@kim80 I've enjoyed the acupuncture. It's relaxing and like having a fertility coach to chat to! I'm only having it once a month though. Any more regular would be unfeasible as it's quite a long way to the clinic and each session is expensive. See how you get on though. It's nice to chat to someone about what you're going through and try something new. Makes you feel like you're doing something if you know what I mean?! When otherwise you are pretty powerless.
No idea if it works though!

Hi @Huffthepuff welcome to this lovely group.

How have you found the acupuncture im booked in tomorrow but not sure if to do it or not as shes saying I would need it weekly for the first month and then monthly from then on.

Hi all, would love to join. I'm 40 and have been trying to conceive for a year and a half. Had my ds in 2018 with no problems but since then I've had an ectopic (last September) and a very early mc this Feb.
AF due 11th Oct. I felt completely exhausted for 2 days on ovulation day and day after. Not sure if that's a real symptom but I remember something similar happening when I was pregnant with DS. Which I only realised retrospectively was due to being pregnant as I didn't take a test until I was about 7 weeks along. Would it be more likely to feel exhaustion at the time of implantation though?
I took a test this morning as I have zero patience. It was negative but I'm still holding out a bit of hope. Have been having fertility acupuncture for 2 months and DH and I taking supplements
Got my fingers crossed for you all

It’s so hard waiting isn’t it @Jaysdream7. There does seem to be a line there but sometimes blue die tests have quite obvious indents so I would keep trying with some pink die tests. Or wait! But I can never wait...

I’m a bit panicked this morning as I have quite sharp pain in my left side. It’s too early for ectopic isn’t it? My period isn’t even due until Sat. Would you get ectopic pain that early? I hope not. It feels like an ovarian cyst I once had when I was about 15.

Oh I know how stressful it is @GanderousGoose but try not not get hung up on line progression. So much can impact the concentration of HCG in your urine. Also when I had my missed miscarriage the darkest lines I ever had were a week after the baby died and those super dark lines continued for two weeks after my D&C. So darkness of line tells you little in my experience.

@40PlusTTC I'm feeling ok - no real symptoms yet. Boobs a bit sore but it's v mild and not as bad as how it sometimes gets before AF. Four weeks today! FX for you in a week or so's time.

Hi AF due today so keep your fx for me. I am still testing. Feeling anxious about line progression as doesn't look much between 12dpo and today at 14dpo and am definitely over-testing. Need to stop but it's so hard. I can't stand the thought that I might just start bleeding without the forewarning of a fainter test.

@GanderousGoose congratulations! Fantastic news! I hope you're well

All good here. 4 or 5 days dpo and no symptoms but then I don’t suppose there would be at this stage. How are you feeling @GanderousGoose? Are you still testing?

How's everyone doing?

Today's at bottom - was anxious as line seemed to take longer to appear but got this way within ten mins.

I had nausea at 9dpo at work and quite badly in car but not sure it was related, as it has disappeared now and I'm mostly starving.

@GanderousGoose that is so exciting. Congratulations! Did you have any symptoms that made you test?

Hi all - some positive news! I got a BFP at 9dpo. Photos below are 9, 10 and 11 dpo (today). Still terrified it will become a chemical like in August so can't feel too excited or happy yet...

@Jaysdream7 I have continued to take the folic since the missed miscarriage and the other tablets since I had the erpc and will continue to take them ttc.

The lovely ladies on the thread helped and advised what to take.

I'm just struggling as only coming into week two from my 2nd erpc so have no idea where my cycle will be or how long I will have to wait for my first af 😩.

Good luck. 😊
