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!!

thanks @TheFutureIs you are right. It’s just I don’t feel anything….!? This wait sucks. I hope you are doing well and tests looking good

TheFutureIs · 26/06/2025 16:33

Thats still really early, wait a few days and try again

EmberR · 26/06/2025 14:55

Stupidly tested at 8DPO and stark negative

@Bumblebee1984I have started a due date group over on Pregnancy, Due March 2026

Bumblebee1984 · 25/06/2025 19:02

@TheFutureIscongratulations. We will be sue similar time. I’m 14dpo today I think

TheFutureIs · 25/06/2025 17:53

I’m 9dpo, only tested this morning as I’m not seeing DP until Saturday and that’ll be at a wedding. He’s there all day, and I’ve got an invite to the evening. Less time to hide that I’m not drinking 🤣

EmPeEf · 25/06/2025 17:49

@TheFutureIs I can see a line on them 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Pretty sure I’m out. Chart not looking good. BFN on FR. At least this means it will be a shorter cycle. Glad to see the back of it, it’s been a really difficult and confusing post chemical cycle. Severe PMS symptoms for ages.

@TheFutureIs i definitely see a line! How many DPO are you?

TheFutureIs · 25/06/2025 16:36

Got me the desired result in about 3 cycles

Are you using the app with those tests, I found it really helpful to track peaks

Yeah i agree - Premom app - it really is good to see them all on screen

Hi everyone can I join in? I’m 42 nearly 43 and not sure if I’m pre menopausal as my periods are becoming a bit irregular but I’m still trying to get pregnant. I did this ov test and wondered if any of you think I’m close to peak? Thanks

I’ll have a read through the thread later on tonight.

I would say that is pretty positive!! I am also 42 and trying for our 2nd - i had a miscarriage that started 2 weeks ago, I have tested negative on a pregnancy test so am going to wait until my next period and then try again :( xx

I can definitely see something on both the Easy@Home ones you've posted!

TheFutureIs · 25/06/2025 14:26

Just done another 2 tests 😍

EmberR · 25/06/2025 12:16

TWW is soooooo long. I have literally no symptoms - will try hold off testing until Sunday?

TheFutureIs · 25/06/2025 12:01

I’m having some pinchy type pains in my abdomen. Trying not to read too much into it

EmPeEf · 25/06/2025 09:22

I’m really not sure. No peak OV. Irregular cycles. EWCM CD11 and CD17. Temp went above cover line CD18. Apps think it was CD15-17. Currently CD27.

CM is really weird today. Stretchy like EWCM, but clumpy cream/yellow in it. Yeuch 😆

TheFutureIs · 25/06/2025 08:29

Currently driving myself mad squinting at a test, I should really have waited until tomorrow or better the weekend. Sure there’s a v faint line but can’t capture it on camera.
Could the sharp pain be implantation? When do you think you ovulated @EmPeEf

EmPeEf · 24/06/2025 20:36

EmberR · 24/06/2025 16:47

@EmPeEf I can’t see anything yet but still early… the TWW is so slow!

I think it feels extra slow this month because I’ve been unwell for most of it.

I have more cramps today which are aches but with stabs of sharp pains. A new low 😅

Bumblebee1984 · 24/06/2025 19:07

@EmPeEfi can’t see anything yet but still very early

EmberR · 24/06/2025 17:46

@TheFutureIs totally!!!
I keep thinking what more could I have done this cycle. And literally nothing…. Taking all my vitamins, healthy living, acupuncture, and DTD around fertile window. I just got to hope nature has done its thing.

I just feel being older, every month is countdown clock away from it happening. Bad attitude I know…

sending baby dust to everyone x

TheFutureIs · 24/06/2025 17:21

Think tww is the worst part, seems never ending! Got a couple more days before I’m 10dpo. Got a wedding at the weekend and would like to know if I can drink or not before that!
