Anyone else in their fertile window?

@Applesandcake that how I'm feeling. Also 38 but I'm on cycle 7 now. First time was 6 months at 35 and second (ectopic)was accidental at 37.

I have one good ovary and one that keeps growing cysts and doesn't really ovulate anymore. I don't have a tube on the side of the good ovary since the ectopic. I've been told the other tube will pick eggs up from the good ovary but I'm not feeling convinced. I really just want to know it's possible. My gynae doesn't want to refer us for further tests until we've been trying a year as we've conceived twice before.

7dpo and I tested! Only a cheapy to curb my urge to waste a proper one. Obviously negative. The weekend and Monday are the big ones. Very nervous. I can notice symptoms but they can be explained by other things and not unique to this month.

I just really want it be pregnant! And practically this month would work very well for work and life commitments.

If someone could just say you’ll definitively be pregnant within 6 cycles, I could relax but there is always that slight worry in the back of what if I can’t have another? Which is irrational as it’s cycle 2 and I’ve conceived three times before easily, but I’m 38 and still breastfeeding and you never know!

Haha @Applesandcake you have plenty! I have 3 digitals too but I know they won't show pregnant til much later, also they are left over from my first pregnancy 2.5 years ago.

I bought wondfos this time as I've stopped trusting easy@home as I kept getting a second line after the timeframe. The issue with testing this early is I keep looking at the test thinking I'm seeing a line but I'm not.

Thank you so much!
I succumbed and did my digital test this evening which was a BFP, so I’m delighted.
Me and my partner are a bit in shock as we thought it might take a few months, but so excited too!
I am wishing all the positive vibes for you all 💕💕

Every day is now agonising waiting to tests! 6dpo today. I know myself and I’m going to end up testing on a cheapy tomorrow just to curve the urge. I won’t use a more expensive test though as that’s really just throwing money away.

I’ve ended up ordering some FRER off Amazon despite saying I don’t trust them anymore! So by tomorrow when they arrive I will have 18 easy@home tests, 3 boots early tests, 2 FRER and a digital!! Enough do you think?!

I feel sick this evening also, which is interesting, but like you Confusedddddd I didn’t have sickness until 6 and 7 weeks with my first two (and then oh my god, I had it horrendously), so can’t really think that’s a sign. More likely I hadn’t eaten enough before taking my vitamins!

@Pololol congrats!

You're giving me some hope, I'm feeling rather nauseous tonight (in both my pregnancies I had evening sickness rather than morning!) though they didn't start until 8weeks and 5 weeks, and I'm only 8dpo right now but who knows...

I've been telling myself it can't be a sign of anything this early on.

Trying not to symptom spot but it's given me a reason to pee on a stick tonight. Really trying not to get my hopes up!

@Pololol ahh imagine! That would be amazing. Keep us posted on how the line progresses ☺️

I’d secretly love twins - although I already have a 2yo -so I think my husband would have a breakdown 🤣

@Pololol I'd say that's a positive! Congratulations!

@Applesandcake thank you! Trying not to run away with myself too much and will take a digital at the weekend to share with my partner if that’s showing as positive!

This makes me feel reassured that it’s not just a false positive!
I have just been wondering to myself whether it could be that I did ovulate when I thought but it’s twins.. as I’ve heard about higher HCG levels for that. My dad is a fraternal twin, so there is a small possibility 🫣.
Im trying to keep the excitement at bay and plan to take a digital test on Saturday to share with my partner as he will be more excited by that than the 2 lines I’ve been hoping for my whole life!

Definitively two positives! Congratulations! You must be more than 7dpo to get tests like that. I would guess at least 10dpo. If you did ovulate cycle day 13 or 14, you’d be 12/13dpo, which makes more sense in terms of those results.

@Pololol I used LH and natural cycles at the time of my first pregnancy, never had a LH ‘high’ either and apparently managed to conceive 7 days before supposed ovulation - you never know what your body is actually up to 😄 congratulations!

@robinmarl glad it’s not just me!
yes that was 3 mins after taking it. I’m cycle day 26. Possibly I did, but I was taking LH tests twice a day and never got a positive the whole time..! Although on CD 13 my LH test did have a line but it wasn’t strong enough to count as a positive. My basal body temp tracking data led Natural Cycles to estimate my ovulation date on cycle day 18-21.

@Pololol That looks positive to me! I can also see a faint line on the second one, is that within the time frame? Maybe you ovulated earlier than you thought…? What cycle day are you on?

@Applesandcake Have my fingers crossed for you that the migraine is good news. Have never had one but can only imagine it’s awful, headaches are bad enough!!

Morning ladies, how is everyone doing? So I tested this morning as I have woken up slightly nauseous the last 2 mornings (plus have had very tender breasts for a few days). It seems like it should be too early for a positive test as my Natural Cycles is telling me that I ovulated between a week and 5 days ago. Am I just seeing things or do you see a positive line on this? Tested twice as I didn’t believe the first one! The top one is about 15 mins old, so not reliable, but the line I see appeared within about 2 or 3 and got darker after it evaporated. Ahhhhhhh - input on how early it is would be very appreciated to see if I can trust the result!

6dpo, woke with a migraine which could be a good sign as mine are linked to hormones, so could be hormones up and down. However, I can’t help see it as a bad sign as I normally get them when my progesterone dips, which if I wasn’t pregnant it would be around now that it would begin to dip.

One boob hurts! And I felt a bit sick this morning but that most likely is because I had a migraine.

TBH january is the worst month to be enduring tww!

@Confusedddddddd i have also done the same having said to myself that I was going to take it easy this month ha.

Got a negative on an easy @ home strip this morning (obviously - only 8dpo!) With my first, I only got a faint negative after my period was 2 days late so I don’t know what I am expecting!!

Well I've been feeling super crampy and twinges today, I've had this in the past, and it's not really meant anything, but who knows?

Of course after saying I wasn't going to order any sensitive tests, I have. Partly because I've had a shit week and I want some wine tommorow so will make sure I'm not pregnant first :).

Lots of clouds in this thread today. Come on ladies, we're all still in this. Happy thoughts. We got this! Lol that's my best cheerleader impersonation 😅

Saying all that I've had a sinus infection for about 4 weeks now and just have been feeling overall run down all winter. It'll be a wonderful pick me up if that test line appears.

That makes so much sense. I was going to say that the only exception to my getting early results was when I had an unplanned pregnancy last spring. I didn’t get a test until about day 13 or 14 dpo. It ended in an early miscarriage at 5 weeks. I always have wondered if the fact I didn’t get an early test was linked (I’d been testing early as although unplanned I knew there was a chance, as we’d dtd what I thought was 7 days before O, but then I showed signs of ovulating 2 days early)
