Geriatric gang 🤰part 2

@cornflakes86 Sorry to hear about your loss. Maybe do something for you. I had a couple of weeks where I felt better after having some time with friends and family and a bit of pampering. You've managed to get pregnant before so it's possible x

@niknaks37 Sending you big hugs x Sometimes a good cry till there are ni tears left is needed

@worldwidetravel2017 I recently found out I have a small fibroid. GP's not concerned as it's small and not in a position that should affect my fertility. My mum who's a retired midwife/nurse thought the same when she read the result. So there's still hope!

Thank you
And so sorry to hear of your MMC

Hope you are lucky soon

Hi @worldwidetravel2017

Hopefully this might put your mind at rest a bit, I had a tv scan last Dec for suspected endo which showed large fibroids and complex thick corpus luteal cyst on one of my ovaries. I wasn't actively ttc at that time but was just aware of my dates and letting nature take its course. I got what I assumed to be a period in Jan but it was actually implementation bleeding and I got a bfp at the end of Jan. unfortunately the pregnancy wasn't viable and I had a MMC at the end of Feb at 8w which also resulted in needing an erpc but all of the doctors told me that it wasn't related to my fibroids or cysts and the fact that I got pregnant is a very positive sign so hopefully it's the same for you 🙏

Also - hertility health - hormone and fertility testing - ive used twice - very reasonably priced and very informative - i recommend them to people trying who want a biggr picture

Equally - anyone who thinks maybe pcos - they check 4 stuff that - that links with

Thanks @AnaReis 😊 I have the cheap internet tests too although I think maybe it's a bad thing as I have so many it's too easy to give in and rest too early🥴, there's no way I would if I didn't have easy access cos I'd go broke too 😂 I know what you mean about maybe waiting until after hols. I'm due to fly off to Spain next Thursday and af due Wednesday. Obviously I'll be absolutely thrilled if I get a BFP but a teeny part of me would prefer it to be next cycle so I can enjoy the holiday and have a few drinks etc 🙈

Hey
Im 36.5 ....

Tried twice in my ( hopefully ) fertile window this cycle
Although was i think latter part of fertile window..

Was in hosp this week - had 2 scans to check ovaries / check 4 cysts and fibroids etc b4 we tried

They noted corpus luteum on my left ovary - and scan was within my fertile window - - this makes me think maybe we tried 24 ish - 36 ish hours too late

Tried the day after scans but only got scan results ( scanz were late tues ) late fri night....

I used to worry maybe pcos - i have some symptons ie unwanted hair / i get my chin waxed & high amh..
But then my testosterone came back within normal range on private hormone & fertility tests...

I worried that if pcos- maybe not ovulating - bought ovulation sticks but yeah..

Thinking maybe the corpus luteum means i do ovulate - ( who knows!?)

Now nervous as scan showed a small fibroid
.
Not spoke to dr yet.

Worried that i read that if they wana remove it - might have to not try for 3 - 6 months - maybe they'll leave it there given my age and hopes - who knows

Welcome! I'm also POAS crazy, hence why I buy IC tests 😅 or else I'd go broke! Good luck on your 2WW!! 😍🤰🏻 I'm thinking maybe I should wait until we come back from our hols in September... I have nasty 1st trimesters, so I can't imagine being on hols vomiting all the time 🤢😵 and feeling generally like 💩 but then again I have no guarantee that I'll get pregnant in the meantime 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi Ladies I might jump in if that's ok. 40yrs old had MMC on first pregnancy at the start of March, we weren't actively trying them just letting nature take its course so it was a complete shock and delight that I was able to get pregnant as I have endometriosis too. It's taken a while for body to return to normal and have only had proper cycles since May. Now we're actively ttc (although my DP isn't aware of dates as I don't want to put pressure on him😂) I'm currently 9DPO and have so many symptoms but all my tests have been BFN (I know I shouldn't have tested so early but I have no will power 🙈) AF due on Wednesday so I'm going to try not test again until then if it doesn't come 🤞

@Butterfly2000 i have been trying nearly 2 years and it’s bfn every month apart from a mmc I had 8 months ago. I got pregnant the cycle after a hycosy when I had the miscarriage. I just can’t imagine myself getting pregnant naturally at this stage but I should try and stay hopeful I guess. how long have you been trying ? I find it hard to keep track of everyone’s stories on this thread there are so many of us !

@cornflakes86 Why are you not hopeful?

Welcome @MissKH84 Has your GP not done any tests? I know it's not an option for everyone but how about having tests done privately

@MissKH84 have you had an HSG? That will check your tubes are clear. It also has a side effect of an increased pregnancy rate for 3+ months afterwards. I fell pregnant the month after my HSG.

Can i join please. ttc for 4 years now. Suspected endometriosis. Have had pain every day in my right side and worried it may be a blocked tube . Ivf was mentioned but Its just so shit being pushed towards ivf,I just wanna know do I have endometriosis or not, not just ignore it . Its like doctors just don't care what your going through they don't want to diagnose you .
I'm currently cycle day 15 but not feeling like I'm going to ovulate yet

@Butterfly2000 1dpo here . Sorry to be negative but already not hopeful! How are you doing ?

Glad I found the new thread! Ttc has taken a back seat to other things in life and I was/am struggling so checked out of the original thread for a bit. Things are still not great but I'm here lurking 😁 in the hope the someday things get back on track. Plus you're all such lovely and supportive ladies I can't keep away!
How is everyone?? Any bfp's? x

@Endomummy i know what you mean about not knowing when to go for ivf it’s a big decision and so expensive

Hey ladies thanks for tagging me in the new thread. I’ve been avoiding mumsnet during the Tww as I was trying not to symptom spot and drive myself mad but sadly can’t help it. Now 10DPO with severe cramps and a BFN. Multiple BFNs if I’m honest. It’s like having a pissing contest with myself… 🙈 even though I know it’s going to be another unsuccessful month I can’t help the little hope that these cramps could be implantation. I had awful implantation pains with my daughter. Anyway that’s my update for now. Hope everyone else is doing good!? I am wondering at what point do I go for IVF. I’ve had one child and had a chemical 7 months ago so I can get pregnant, maybe I’m being impatient but this has gone on for ages and now I’m 35 I just feel stressed by it all. I don’t want to be depressing either so I’ve avoided posting. Xx

Welcome @hennie222 this is a lovely and supportive group. I also sometimes take time off from the forums as ttc feels like a long battle. I am ttc #1, now 38 but started earlier this year when I was 37. Onto my 7th cycle but one of the cycles I definitely didn't ovulate as the cycle was so short. I do feel impatient but I know it can take longer over 35. Not much comfort when you want it to happen straight away!

Can I join in this fun? I've been off MN for a bit as it was all getting me down a bit. TTC #1, 38 early 39 and been "trying" for ~3 years (but only really properly going for it for about 1.5). Managed one mmc last year and now waiting on an NHS referral for IVF (or whatever they determine) but I'm not that hopeful on that...... CD4 here so a bit of time until OD....

H ladies
I’ve just come on☹️ Bang on time - so I will have to start trying on cycle 5 soon. I really don’t know why I’m not pregnant yet. Must be my age! 40

my husband has a sperm test next week, hopefully he’s okay. Who knows, he has two children but they are 17 and 19 - so maybe his sperm has deteriorated. Though he has s low sex drive and I hear this can be a sign of low sperm count.

I'm so sorry 😔

@niknaks37 sorry I was really hoping this was your month :( it’s so tough when this happens , I’ve been there .1 day late with hopes up then bfn followed by Af arrival. It’s so unfair . be kind to yourself in the next couple of days .

@niknaks37 ah sorry to hear that sweetheart. Was really hoping you were gonna get your bfp this month. Must be super shit nature playing all those tricks with the symptoms this month.
Af also arrived for me too . I knew anyway it wouldn't happen but I also didn't feel like af was going to come at all this month. I had zero of my typical symptoms and only knew it was on route from bbt

@niknaks37 I'm so sorry to hear that AF has arrived. I can really identify with how you feel as my partner and I were both convinced that this was our month until AF made an unwelcome appearance. 6 months seems like a really long time when ttc. Now I have read more, one or even 2 years of trying is not unexpected, especially over 35. Wishing you a successful cycle this month, and although it is easier said than done, please try to relax (this what I keep telling myself too!)
