TWW at 40 yrs old

How is everyone doing?

I’m in my first TWW post miscarriage. I usually have longer (31-33 day cycles) and ovulate at day 21-23 but this time I’ve ovulated on day 19. Perfect for me as I thought it would happen whilst my OH is away for the week but he doesn’t leave until Sunday so hopefully we are in with a chance this month.

@EmPeEfdid you test further?

Congratulations @EmPeEf🤍

4dpo for me 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@EmPeEf hope all progresses well! Please keep us posted with test results.

@Bumblebee1984 that’s brilliant news congratulations!

That’s awesome. I want to eventually try and wait out for past 8 weeks as well, as the odds go up so much more past that developmental point. So that’s brilliant news for you.

@EmPeEfamazing. Congratulations. I feel you on the hunger tiredness and sore boobs

I’m now 8w4d. Had an early scan on Wednesday and all was good which is a relief.

12-14 dpo. Peak was early Friday the 11th but I’m pretty sure I felt OV happen Sunday. I’ve had a clean line on a regular clear blue so just hoping this one sticks 🤞🏻

@EmPeEf tentative congratulations. There’s definitely a line there. How many days post ovulation do you think you are?

Had my first faint line on Wednesday and this is 36 hour progression. Think I’m going to do a digital later today. AF is due tomorrow.

I’m grateful, because hopefully it means good news, but my symptoms are really intense. The tiredness, sickness combined with hunger, boobs are agony, heartburn, breathlessness and a bit of chest pain even. And so much tugging, pulling and pinching in my tummy. I feel proper rotten. I bet it’s my fault for being unfit as well as old lol.

How is everyone else getting on?

Hey jumping on to try and stop myself going crazy! 🤪 potentially in my tww but this is my first proper cycle since getting the coil removed.

not even sure if I’ve ovulated or not. Tracking with Flo and premom but both say completely different things so I guess it’s just time to keep tracking until my cycle (hopefully) gets into a pattern.

I’ve had pretty much close to 0 on all of my lh tests, however, while still low I did get a rise around the day premom estimated I’d ovulate, ewcm and then a temperature rise the next day… so maybe my body is trying!

We’ll see trying so hard not to overthink 🙈

I hate the wait!!! @EmPeEf maybe some good signs though.

I’m likely 4/5 dpo. I know nothing likely to feel different but I’m just hoping! Taking my supplements and having my acupuncture. It helps at least to feel like you’re doing everything you can to try. Sending everyone best wishes

I’m either 9 or 10dpo. Had evaps a day or so ago so I’m refusing to test again and just get negatives. I’d rather be blissfully ignorant and enjoy the possibility this week.

For four days my boobs have been absolute agony though, which is unusual for me. So bloody sore. Logged strange CM as well. And then today my temperature plummeted and I got really despondent. AF isn’t due till the weekend so I’m hoping it’s not coming early.

How are you? How’s everyone else?

How’s everyone doing x

I actually had that recently, it was after a first time ever missed/late period. So I thought it was bit of a peri glitch. And I ovulated earlier than normally. But that’s also the month I got pregnant. Unfortunately I miscarried at 5.5weeks. Fast forward to first cycle after MC and I’m pregnant again, didn’t actually think it would happen, or it would be that quick. This time I had two days of high and then peak on clearblue.

Please can I ask for some more advice.

I have had another month using clearblue smiley face OPK tests. Again I had no flashing smile just straight to a static smile which I got today (CD13 so seems correct).

I understand the flashing smile shows rising estrogen and if I never get flashing smiles it might indicate I have low estrogen which is why I am not conceiving.

I had standard fertility tests done at the GP to see if I am in perimenopause (day 21 I think they are?) and they called and told me all was normal with my levels.

does anyone else have low estrogen diagnosed (I could do an at home blood test) but if that’s the case what do I do? I could start HRT and take estrogel maybe to raise levels?

Anyone had similar experience please and can kindly offer thoughts

My first post miscarriage period seems to have started this morning. I’ve felt a bit crampy for the last couple of days so it wasn’t a surprise. I’m glad it’s here but also annoyed with the timing as if my cycle goes back to how it was before then I’ll ovulate whilst my partner is away for a week. Not ideal

Hope everyone is going well. I’m trying to convince my husband to DTD but he’s reluctant in the heat ….!?! So annoying!

@MrBigsCatunfortunately not pregnant this time around. I think it was just my cycle trying to make a return after having my iud removed. I bled lightly for 3 days!

Yes it did, the other clear blue were stark white so not sure what it was

@Wingingitlife any update?
progesterone has a lot to answer for with the chocolate cravings etc and that could be either period or pregnancy related I guess

I’m 8dpo and bfn this morning
no symptoms or anything.
@Alwaysroomforanotherdog that first test looked like the start of something aswell.

How’s everyone getting on? I’m on cycle day 37, my cycles are becoming a bit random

Hi I turned 40 in January, already have 3 kids (2 pregnancies) and just started ttc #4 with a new partner. I had an IUD for 6 years then had it replaced for 2/3 years. I had my iud removed on 23/6, my sex drive sky rocketed that day which I just assumed that was because of the rise of estrogen after removal. 24/6 I had egg white discharge and my sex drive was still really high for the next couple of days. I did ovulation tests from the 24th onwards but they were just really faint for about 4 days till they disappeared. No strong positives. I haven’t had a period for years because of my iud but the month before I got it removed I had a small bleed for a couple days which I just tracked as a period (this is my second iud and after about 3 years in my periods returned but irregular so I assume the same was starting to happen again). Based on this according to my flow app I was due to ovulate on the 27/6. However I think if I have then if it’s not unusual to ovulate straight after removal I think that maybe I have ovulated somewhere between 23-25th 🤔 my app thinks my period is due around the 13/6.
Anyway so yesterday when I wiped I had some bloody discharge. Today I’ve had some light-medium bleeding. I’ve had a banging migraine since yesterday and heightened sense of smell. I have no other period symptoms, usually, even when I don’t get an actual period when my IUD was in place, I would get absolutely ravenous for chocolate, very very sore boobs and I’d have a really low mood/irritability for a day or two before I turned. I’ve had none of this!
has anyone experienced anything similar to this and turned out to be pregnant?

Well my first response came, I did one yesterday and one this morning and they are both negative so I’m sure why the first one I posted was pink a little bit, have to just wait until next month

Congratulations to both you ladies!

Congrats to the positives this morning, I have some more first response out for delivery but they are not coming until between 4-8pm 🙄
