Trying to conceive over 40 part 4

@Isitthathardtobekind I had a static this morning after 2 flashing, which is cd12 so much earlier than last month which was cd16. My cycles are usually 28/29 so I wonder if this one will be shorter if I have ovulated earlier? No signs of ovulation this month, so surprised it was static this am…

@Kelb79 i know I’ve never seen anything like it in my whole of times testing lol I emailed the supplier and they sent a different batch number to me but unfortunately af arrived yesterday so on to another month .

im so happy everything is going well for you x

@October1979 your story made my day!! 🥰
I need more of such news.

@October1979 its insane!! You deserve this so so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ that horrible dark hole of infertility feels so deep that you just can’t imagine a way out, I’m so happy every day to be a step up the ladder, it’s so special being pregnant 🥰 (even though I’m suffering horrendously with nausea!! I’ll take it!) xX

@October1979 omg they absolutely kill me!! They are so so gorgeous!! ❤️❤️❤️ how is life with triplets? Such a beautiful blessing but my god it must be hard work at times! 🫣

@praying4babba good luck!!! That’s a long time in medical menopause, I hope it goes ok for you. I struggled with that a bit! ❤️🙏🏼

@TraceyTarotReader omg how confusing 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve never seen that happen before! Have you tested with different tests?

good luck to everyone trying this month! ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼

I had my 7 week scan yesterday and all is perfect!!! 🥰😳🥳 bub is measuring 9.2mm 😍😍 and has a strong heartbeat! I can’t believe it! It all still feels very surreal and I’m very guarded still, we all know too well how many things can go wrong! But I definitely feel more hopeful 🙏🏼❤️🥹

Hi everyone, 42 years old, we are doing IVF, have adenomyosis so on medical menopause for 10 weeks then will do a transfer with our one and only normal embryo x

@Onelasttry79 I got a 3rd day of flashing smileys yesterday at day 12. Only used cheap tests before so not sure where the smiles would have been then. I’m interested to see if I get a static smiley as my cheap tests have always gone darker, but not as dark as the control line. Others on here have said they get that too though so perhaps all fine and just v cheap tests.
My cycles now vary between 24-32 the last 6 months. Feb I got to day 34 and was convinced I must be pregnant, bought a test and went to take it only to realise AF was here. Prior to that they were usually max of 29. How about you?

@October1979 OMG 😍 They are soooooooo adorable!!!
You had triplets?? Sorry I missed this..

I wish I could have twins, but I cannot carry full term due to uterus heart shape and both my kids prematurely born. They refused to transfer two and even stopped IUI as was risk of multiples

@Isitthathardtobekind nice to know we are on a similar journey...i am CD11 today and have 2nd day of flashing smiley which is much earlier than last month as didn't get the flashing one until CD14...have you had any flashing ones yet? Are your cycles usually fairly regular? Fingers crossed for this month....

And to throw insult to my feelings there are all pink as well uggghhhh

Hi everyone nice to see some new people joining us good luck on your ttc journey.

so for me I woke up and did a test and at first th test line popped up within a min I’m like oh okay so here’s me waiting the full 5 mins and 2 other lines pop up this has to be dodgy I’m 16 dpo today and 2 days late for af I’ve been getting vvfl on the same brand I have emailed the supplier see what they say now here’s the test and you will laugh I said to my husband I’m having quads 😂😂😂

@Onelasttry79 hi- I’m similar to you. 43 and have 10 and 12 year old. Was pregnant last April 22 which was a surprise. Been sort of trying since Jan but now upping the effort. Used cheap ovulation tests the last 3 months. This month switched to 4 day advanced. On day 11.

Good luck!

Hi all. Another negative test today, even though all my hormones did everything they should this month (using Mira tracker) and we had sex at right times.

Been 6 months now so really don’t think it will happen. Next step is an internal scan of ovaries. If that’s not good news I will be out as husband doesn’t want to do donor eggs so I will need to learn to accept it and be grateful for what I do have.

Hope everyone else is doing better xx

Hi everyone, just a quick update from my side- had a dr appointment today re genetic testing abd planning. She agreed that after last cp quality is an issue, so she supports back-to-back collection till at least 4 embryos and then while we wait for the results (6-8 weeks! 😱) she suggests we continue another cycle of eggs collection.. but all will be tailored personally depending how I react. My hormones are very good she said (AMH 17 - ?? 🤷🏻‍♀️) so it is a waiting game to get a good one. She was very positive but said 1-2 good FET is a good outcome
Looks like I had ovulation this night...so maybe I will have my surprise this cycle 🤞🏻

Hi, hope it’s ok if I join?
I’m 44 and ttc number 3
i have 2 ds 9 and 13
i lost a surprise baby in April and am now trying to conceive again…I know time is not on my side, but will try until the end of the year and see what happens…😊
using 4 day clearblue cb opk…on cd7 today…

@October1979 thanks lovely 🙏🏼❤️ I’m doing ok…. Just trying to take each day as it comes! Near constant nausea and extreme tiredness are definitely letting me know something is going on but I’m on such a lot of meds that I’d probably be like it just from those!! 🤣 Scan on Friday, I’m really nervous!! 😬😕🫣
how are your gang getting on?? ❤️❤️

@TT82 good luck for the doctors appointment! Push for what you want 👌🏼😘

big love to the new group members! ❤️❤️
I hope everyone’s having a lovely weekend 🙏🏼💕😘

@sel2223 welcome! Wishing baby dust ❤️

I am 41, ttc baby 3, have adult daughter and 9 yr old son. Last year had 4 chemical pregnancies (last cycle was 4th), all tests good on both sides, so I think it is egg quality.. This cycle last before we start ivf in august. On Tuesday I have dr appointment if we can do back to back egg collection for embyro testing... so lets hope they will be cooperative..so far they were against, but I cannot deal with more chemical 😔

Hi, hope it's OK to join in?

I'm 40, we have an almost 3 year old DD and now TTC again with DH.

4/5 months off contraception but not tracking or putting too much pressure on ourselves. Currently AF is 6 days late but 2 x negative tests so no idea what is going on.

@mommabear64 I'm also 44, I've also thought that I'm entering peri-menopause...
Periods have been regular until recently. Last was 28, previous was 22 now 23...😒
TTC number 2 but if I don't think it's going to happen.
Happy with our beautiful family of 3 😊

@YellowLoafers i will. But we won't be going down the line of meds etc. we have two kids already and i'm grateful for that. I might get my hormones tested though just to confirm if i have gone through meno or not. Then i'll know for definite
