TWW at 40 yrs old

I’m back home tonight so will test in the morning xx

Thank you! Yes it can be hard and I can completely sympathise. I have my fingers crossed for you! Hopefully you can find a test somewhere near your parents!

Thank you! X

Thank you!

On a plus, still no period. Annoyed with myself I didn’t pack a test to bring with me to my parents

Amazing news @Daisychains9it really does give me hope! I know what you mean though, so many people I know are currently pregnant/just had babies and oh the jealousy is something else even though I am so happy for all of them!

Congratulations! So nice hearing positive news x

Everything crossed for you @Daisychains9

Hi ladies, I tested this evening. And got two positives. I thought it was all over earlier this afternoon when I had a little bit of brown discharge. But I did not bleed and in hindsight was probably old implantation bleeding. I have had an eptopic before so will get a scan next week. I am happy but super nervous that it holds. I’ll let you know how it goes. Best wishes and thinking of all of you. I know this kind of news can be hard to hear depending on where you are. But I hope it gives you hope xx

So it turns out that my pregnancy tests are 2 years out of date!! They must have been the ones left over from when i was testing in early 2022! So i have ordered some more which are due to come tomorrow!!

I'm due tomorrow and have not tested. I am going to wait and see .. I am feeling a bit nauseous and have a bit of pain in my lower back so I am not confident, as it all seems a bit like PMS.

Keeping everything crossed for you two. The TWW seems soooooo long

I am trying so hard not to test - My Flow app says i am due my period in 3 days so i am going to try and wait to see if that arrives and go from there.

No bfp…. But also no period which if my cycle is still as regular as it used to be was due today

@Lulubo1 hope all is well with your DH.

I’m not sure what’s going on with me this cycle…to be fair I don’t think I ever do! Haha
I’m on day 19 and last cycle ovulated later, around day 24/25. My ovulation tests are showing negative but I have a lot of EWCM and have for the past 48 hours. I would have expected some movement on the tests. Anyway we will do our best and see what happens!

how’s everyone else doing?

@Lulubo1 hope all is well with dh

I’m due tomorrow as well @Lulubo1hopefully it doesn’t appear for either of us. Hope you get answers about your DH quickly and it’s nothing to worry about

I don't remember any particular symptoms each time I have been pregnant. It is really hard to differentiate between pregnancy and PMS. For me, it depended on many things happening in other areas of my life/health also. I think also, each woman is different. I know it is so hard but it is probably best to wait it out. Fingers crossed for you.

I am so so sorry to hear this. It sounds incredibly stressful for you. I truly hope everything is resolved for the best. Lots of love.

I'm out for a while ladies. AF is due tomorrow and DH was in A&E yesterday, a CT scan found something on his liver they need to investigate further. We are awaiting a call for an MRI today or tomorrow. (After a 14hr A&E trip yesterday, I'm not holding my breath for anything quick). All the best to the rest of you. Sending hugs and good wishes xx

@Fletchasketch I do have one but it hasn’t been worn in about a month so I don’t have a pattern to go off.
Took an early clear blue digital just now and that’s negative also.

Very few symptoms at all, it felt just like I was starting my period. The one thing that was different was that my resting heart rate went up and kept on going up until I got my positive. I’m not sure I’d necessarily recommend getting a Fitbit or similar as I’ve driven myself mad second guessing what it meant, but if you’ve already got one on the other hand….

good luck

@Fletchasketch thank you for your reply. Do you remember having any other symptoms? Usually my boobs would be killing me at this stage but I don’t want go get my hopes up either. I had a boozy evening planned tonight if I was bfn but the ewcm has thrown me. I didn’t get any sharp pains that people talk about with implantation etc, never had a positive before so I don’t really know what I’m doing 🥲

I don’t want to get your hopes up, but in both my pregnancies I’ve had something similar to ewcm before I got my positive. I didn’t test until 14 dpo though, so no idea if I would have tested positive at 9. Regardless, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. X

I’m very confused.
I’m 9dpo. Confirmed with digital clear blue advanced opk and also cheapie. Didn’t bother with temping this month. Didn’t have ewcm, but I had all the other usual feelings in my sides etc.
I tested bfn yesterday and today on premom cheap pregnancy tests. Today I’ve had an abundance of ewcm, the ideal fertile kind of ewcm that I would have loved to have seen 9 days ago along with my positive opks! I’ve never had that after ovulation before and I don’t have my usual sore boobs pre period (yet, anyway). So I took another clear blue advanced ovulation test and it’s negative.
Any thoughts?
