35yrs + and trying ✨🫶🏼

I’m 5dpo and have some pink discharge this morning - a bit early for implantation. It’s my first ovulation since having my last baby 12 months ago and I’m still breastfeeding which can result in a short luteal phase. I’m wondering whether I will get AF sooner rather than later. Time will tell!

Back onto CD1 for me 😞 Onto cycle 12 now 😪 I always need this first day to feel sorry for myself x

@Mismatc google will be the death of me 🙈
Nighttime bathroom breaks are complete out of the normal for me. I've another few days before testing. (If I can last that long)

Same with my first and only, I just knew I was pregnant days before BFP.
Not sure if I feel that now, maybe I'm just questioning my gut, time will tell.

Don't count yourself out, still another 10 days for things to happen 🫶

Thank you I hope so,booked in for a scan on Monday . As I never get period pains but I’ve literally got cramps pains to the point I’m sure my period will start so definitely a big shock to get a positive test x

There's no doubt about those! A CB week indicator with 2-3 weeks means your HCG levels are at least 163. Congratulations!

Hi @Lynnloou! I don’t think it necessarily means anything but my relentless googling in the last few days sounds remarkably similar to yours, haha.

I’m trying for #4 and feel like I really knew when I was pregnant each time from very early, as well as many other months where I desperately hoped I was pregnant and overthought things so maybe just confirmation bias on the times I was right.

Anyway, I am only 4dpo but don’t feel pregnant so I think I’m out already. I’m breastfeeding still though so even ovulating/ having AF will be a win. In terms of family planning I want to get pregnant asap so I can stay working full time for the next maternity leave but sadly my biology does not care for my financial planning.

Morning All! Ended up here while over googling 🙈 which can mean only one thing, I'm in the dreaded TWW.
TTC our 2nd at 39!
Currently 6/7 DPO the past 2 nights I've woke to pee at 3am ish, leading to little sleep from that point, as of course I'm overthinking the fact I'd to get up to use the loo.
Very mixed views on if this is an early symptom.
Anyone experienced this before BFP?

Totally over thinking ,I’vebeen using the Flo app last period start date 28/01 always a short light period was due 22/02 . My stomach have been very rumbly Flo app said I’m 2 days late today so decided to test . Got positive results . But reviews on test are making me question it . Vasectomy reversal march last year been ttc since both now 41 . What do I all think 🤔

👋 Room for one more?

I'm 34 (in a few days), stopped taking my pill (Cezerette, which I was on for 12/13 years without any breaks or periods) 6 weeks ago. Husband and I are trying for our first. Well after an agonising wait I finally got my period on Sunday.

Now the fun begins I suppose.. did a bit of ovulation tracking with tests & Premom a few weeks ago but it was constantly low numbers so I just decided to stop until AF came.

Day 3 of my period and I think it's on its way out, less blood and darker in color. Who knows.

A bit nervous about getting pregnant this cycle (that would mean a December baby which is expensive enough lol) but would hate to miss the opportunity of conceiving this cycle - as god knows what will happen next, if I'll be regular etc.

It's been lovely to read all conversations here. I feel like it's never going to be the perfect right time so time to just get on with it lol

Baby dust to you all 🤞💓

@SCK2024 glad to hear you're getting your bloods redone 😊

Thank you 😊

Ha, definitely no ambiguity there! Congratulations!

Thanks so much ive just done my clearblue test and I got my bfp literally came up so quick 🥹 I'm over the moon. Thank you that's good to know I'll probably do the weeks I do tomorrow morning now. Thanks so much for replying ☺️ x. My lo will be due 02nd November

I'd go for pink dye rather than blue, although if you're now late, CB et all are probably ok and you shouldn't have the is it a BFP, is it an evap ambiguity. Digitals can need a slightly higher HCG threshold. Although saying that I think the CB weeks indicator theoretically only needs 10miu for a 1-2 weeks reading. Good luck - sounds promising so far! You might be my due date twin - I was also due on yesterday!

Thank you for the advice, appreciate it. I'll do my clear blue ultra early tomorrow.

Maybe like you said just low. Just get a different brand and test, not a digital.
Clear blue seem to be the main brand in the shops but if you have Amazon prime get a pink dye first reponse

Hi, can I join in. Can anyone give me advice? What i should do?
I took two clear and simple tests on Friday both positive that was three days before my af was due. I did two more clear and simple tests Monday day my af was due which were both positive and a clear and simple digital which said negative. I did another clear and simple test this morning again positive 1 day missed af. I spoke to a pharmacist today who said to get a clearblue ultra early test as she said that the clear and simple ones aren't accurate 😒. I haven't got a clue what to do as I've read mixed things maybe my hcg level is still low as I know the digital ones detection tests have a higher level of hcg needed. I've been experiencing tender breasts, cramping, nauseous, headaches and I had a very light brown spotting (only today).

Hi, I found this eariler was exploring something else and remembered someone talking about raised prolactin, I hope this can help?

It varies so much from person to person too. I never seem to have any particular symptoms or nausea in pregnancy, whereas my friend knew she was pregnant from well before 4 weeks due to how sick she was feeling. But I agree, 6dpo is too early for sickness to be pregnancy related.

If you are sure of ovulation then yes, the earliest you can implant is 6dpo which would mean HCG wouldn't be high enough to cause any real pregnancy symptoms for around 48 hrs.

Hi @Mismatc and nice to have you on board.
I would say at 36 you still have plenty of time yet. Please don't wean your baby, your cycles should return to a more normal pattern pretty soon. I am currently trying for a 4th. I am 40 next month and still breastfeeding my 32 month old. I have gotten pregnant twice since breastfeeding but sadly miscarried both, but it has nothing to do with breastfeeding. My period returned when my little one was 11 months old and it took around 4 more months for my LP to lengthen. It was then pretty much back to normal. Enjoy breastfeeding your baby and carry on TTC. The more stress you take away from the situation the more likely and quickly you will fall pregnant again. It is also very encouraging that you already have 3 children and have conceived fairly recently. X
