A few days into my two week wait now, period due around 2nd of March.

Trying not to get too excited as I'll soon be 40 and I know my chances are lower - nevertheless, I found myself downloading a pregnancy tracking app this morning and looking at all the visuals of what the baby would look like at various stages 🙃

Anyone else out there want to wait with me? Crossing fingers and toes for my November baby!!

Picked up a very faint line on a Easy@Home test yesterday morning at 9dpo, and an ever so slightly darker one this morning. Double-checked with a ClearBlue, and the results look pretty conclusive. We've been TTC for baby #1 since January, so this is very welcome news!

@Kreatelathey are definitely positive! It doesn’t feel real when that 2nd line pops up does it?! We have a due date group on here if you’d like to join?

Also, for now I’ll try to avoid the other group only because of what happened last time around. I rather be expecting the worse and be pleasantly surprised than being too optimistic and then disappointed😣. But will be keeping tabs on here for now

You’re right. I did not expect it at all, that’s why I was thinking yesterday it’s more line eyes, or the lighting in the bathroom. Today it’s pretty much the same, but will see 🤞

@Kreatelai definitely see those and I wouldn’t say 11pm is too early. I just got my positive a couple weeks ago at 10/11dpo

Yayyy, keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞. So how far are you? All going well I hope🤞.
I’m going to get some CB test and test after I get back. I had a weird twinge yesterday, didn’t think much of it, but potentially it might be connected. So will see.

Hi all, I’m going to join in if that’s ok:). It’s good to join a thread that is relatable to my situation.
I’m now 43, no children, but still hoping by some miracle it will happen (if not, I have decided to go through the egg donor route). I went through a miscarriage only just 2 months ago. This is my first cycle after that and I’m 11dpo. I know I know, too early to test, but it somehow became a part of the routine. I did a test last just a random test last night, and I actually thought I could see something. So did another one first thing this morning. Am I being paranoid? I’m going away for the weekend, so will try leave it until after to test again, but just wondering what you lot think. 🫣

I’m not sure how many DPO I am, I wasn’t even sure I ovulated. I’ve ordered another pack of tests which are being delivered tomorrow

EmberR · 03/07/2025 13:13

@Alwaysroomforanotherdog i see it! How many DPO are you?

AF arrived today - kind of pleased as it’s right on 28 day cycle so at least I know. Onto a new month trying. Fingers crossed

EmPeEf · 03/07/2025 08:56

Definitely!

Bumblebee1984 · 03/07/2025 08:23

Yes I can see it. Very exciting

TheFutureIs · 03/07/2025 08:10

Yes!!! How exciting xx

Alwaysroomforanotherdog · 03/07/2025 08:02

Randomly found a first response so I thought I’d give it go, can anyone see anything? Thanks

TWW at 40 yrs old
Alwaysroomforanotherdog · 29/06/2025 13:02

Think I got my positive today 🤞

AF arrived for me this evening. Glad to see the back of this confusing, post miscarriage cycle. At least it was only 29 days. I’m going to LH test this month again because I still don’t have much of an idea what’s going on.

Last cycle was 33. Had sex on days 15 and 21 so had to be between those.
The month before I got a CB smiley day 20 but we couldn’t try because I was on medication. But my cycle was only 27 days! I’m all over the shop.

TheFutureIs · 28/06/2025 18:45

Myo-inositol is meant to be good for conception

EmberR · 28/06/2025 18:05

@TheFutureIs GP tests all came back normal. No issues. Blood test and ultrasound.

taking coq10, vitamin d, folic acid and having acupuncture. Can’t think of anything else to try? Testing OPKs and DTD over the right window. Husbands SA was ok

TheFutureIs · 28/06/2025 17:50

Will you go to the doctors for tests? It’s so unfair! What have you tried so far? I took myo-inositol for my last cycle

EmberR · 28/06/2025 16:41

No luck this cycle. Feeling very down - spent this morning at a kids birthday party and it feels so unfair and crap. Sorry to moan but cycle 9 now and nothing

Alwaysroomforanotherdog · 27/06/2025 22:17

EmPeEf · 27/06/2025 21:22

Ignore the numbers, it’s a positive one. Keep testing though as you may get more of a stronger one.

Thank you, I will do
