2023 TTC 35+ Part 6

Have you tried the 3 gbp ovulation tests off Amazon?
I find them helpful/ reliable

Thank you
Managed last nights colonoscopy prep

Tmi but was sick this am after 2nd lot

Pretty sure its empty there though

Hope to be out of hosp by 4 /5 pm

Looking forward to a nice dinner

Well, im definitely out. Definitely a chemical unfortunately.
But, I'm ok and will just focus on the next cycle now. Disappointing but going to try and not worry too much.
Wishing you all lots of luck and baby dust ✨
I will keep you posted on my journey too!

Despite using OPKs I have no idea if or when I ovulated as I don’t know that I ever got a really clear peak. However, there is a weird peace in knowing that the period where I can do anything about the outcome has passed. We gave it a good go. Now to take vitamins, work on eating healthily and start symptom spotting like an absolute loon.. 🤪

Sending you so much luck and baby dust@luc243

Really hope it goes as well as it can today @worldwidetravel2017 x

I usually start my period during the night for some reason, and expected to be disheartened to wake up to it this morning but nothing yet. Literally got everything crossed. Going to test later this afternoon if I've still not started. I haven't ever even got close to taking a pregnancy test during this whole year of TTC as I've always started my period right on time. So hard to not get invested in thinking you are pregnant each month.

@Bumblebee413 it's just so weird isn't it? I went really light headed for a few hours yesterday but earing something sugary seemed to help. Then got cramping overnight again. Today I have the lightest pink when I wipe so looks like things are finally starting.

That would just be so wonderful x

@Bumblebee413 I'm quietly confident there's just been some dodgy tests taken at the wrong time with too high hcg limits on them and definite positives will appear for everyone soon 🤞🏻

Ladies I’m so sorry. I still can’t get over the odds of this catching all three of you at the same time. Really hoping that things become definite and allow you all to move forward as soon as possible x

@JC084 about a similar time frame to me then. But like you with them being so light this time I'm hoping it won't take as long to start bleeding.

@luc243 fingers crossed! Keep us posted

@RoseH36 last time I found out about 11dpo and then had about 1 week of thinking all was ok. Then tests started getting lighter (yep, I kept testing...) and about 1 1/2 weeks after finding out, I started bleeding.
This time round I didn't even get the darker lines before they got more faint

Hi all! New to the thread. Been TTC since feb. I’m due on tomorrow. Haven’t taken any pregnancy tests yet. Had pink spotting on and off the last 5 days which is much longer than I normally spot for. I usually only spot for 2-3 days max. Fingers crossed this month is our month 🤞🏻

@JC084 certainly is! Did your last one go negative this quickly? That's the thing with mine as I only tested the once so no idea how long it takes from going to negative to bleeding. I know it came on really quickly after a day of backache and cramping.

@RoseH36 it's draining isn't it. Fingers crossed we both get some answers soon x

@JC084 you sound as confused as me. I've not had any signs of blood at all. A bit of cramping on and off overnight the last 2 nights but nothing through the day at all. I've not tested again since last week as surely 3 tests can't be wrong? I'm still tired but I've got a cold at the moment so most likely that. I never had any other signs last week.

@Khanga27 thank you. Sorry to hear you're having the same. It's very confusing and I wish AF would either come and I can just get on with the next cycle or I get some clear results

@JC084 I have had the same this cycle. 2 days of intermittent pink creamy discharge when I’ve wiped, and then proper (albeit light flow) blood today (again only when I’ve wiped, nothing on the pad). I didn’t do a test this month.

But implantation can also be more of a pink/brown discharge, so difficult to say either way. Im sorry that you’ve had this confusion.

Hi all, hope everyone is ok.
So - after my 3 days of faint lines last week - and a negative digital - I had a pretty much negative test this morning (husband said he could see a v faint line but I'm not sure) and cramps started.
Assumed period was on its way.
Had some pink blood when I wiped this morning and so put a pad on and assumed I was out.
However, nothing since. Nothing on the pad and nothing else when I've wiped.
Aware it is most likely just the start of my period and I'm clinging to any signs here ... but could it be late implantation?
However - would my tests not be positive at this point?
Otherwise it is just another chemical (had one in august) and am just going through the motions?
Not really looking for answers as I know no one can tell me ... but this is just my safe place to vent and get confused 😬😅🥹

Thank you & welcome

I’m new to the thread but wanted to say @worldwidetravel2017 best of luck with the tests, hope everything comes back clear for you.

Happy Monday

Sending luck to all those baby dancing

Colonoscopy tomorrow afternoon 4 me

Just had light breakfast

If i make it to January 2024 without a cancer diagnosis... my partner and i aim to try and concieve again maybe from late march 2024 ..

I turn 37 in dec 2023

@Mrsspoon3 thank you. There's definite discomfort in my lower back again so fingers crossed things start soon. My DH said the same thing about apparently being more fertile after a CP. Didn't mean anything last time for us but doesn't mean to say this time would be the same. Keeping everything crossed for you that this one sticks xx

@RoseH36 I know the feeling. I took so many tests last cycle as it’s so hard to give up hope, but also you never know do you? I really hope you’re not out after all, or if this cycle isn’t the one that you get your BFP very soon! I actually got pregnant again this cycle and am about 5w3d now, but feeling pretty scared after my chemical last month (and another 2 previously!). I have heard people say you’re more fertile after a chemical, so maybe if not this month it will happen very soon for you. Hope you’re feeling ok x
