TTC 4th baby at 38years old

Ah I'm sorry @Wingingitlife it's like the stress doesn't end even when you get that BFP! How many days late is your period now? Lots of things can affect how much of the hormone is in your wee and I've heard loads of people say their tests are only dark later in the day?

Thank you, I do feel like it is ever so slightly darker but not as much as I was expecting. Fingers crossed I’m worrying for nothing 😞

@Wingingitlifei hope you had a lovely holiday. I'm sorry to see you've come back to worry. I had a chemical in March and I wish I could give you a better news but I knew i was having a chemical as my lines didn't get darker over the week at all and I bleed a week afte my positive. I REALLY hope this isn't the case for you and I'm pleased you're able to see a doctor.
Bur what I will say is...I personally think your line is darker xx

Thank you, I’ve been to the docs today to book in to see the midwife so hopefully won’t be waiting to long. I’ve not bled and no cramps so hopefully worrying about nothing 🤞🏼

@Wingingitlife I don't have any experience but sending you lots of love! Hopefully you'll get some answers from someone x

Yeah it was fmu 😞

Was it fmu ? could be that you were too hydrated?

Hi girls, hope everyone is ok. Got from my holidays last night and done another test this morning expecting to see a blazing positive result. The line is just as light as it was on Sunday so now I’m really worried in case it’s a chemical. I’ve never had one before so don’t know what to expect but I’ve seen other posts where people’s lines haven’t got darker and it’s been a chemical. Anyone have experience of this? I know a few of you have said you’ve had chemicals before? 😢 I’m so worried 😞

@rolo3000 I have heard of people getting BFN's all the way up to being late and then it changed to positive so as they say you're not out til AF shows but I always call it at around 12dpo as I've never had a positive any later than that.

@ChaE05 sometimes our bodies do weird things! Hopefully a one off.

I've tested again today and BFN on a FRER I think I'm 11dpo but not due til Sunday/Monday but pretty sure I had a positive 3/4 days before my period with my other pregnancies so I know I'm out. I promised myself I would be less intense about it this time but it's so hard to relax isn't it 🤣

Will test again tomorrow just in case and then have a big glass of wine tomorrow night and on to the next cycle.

@ChaE05oh could be that then! Have you always had a short LP? I find it fascinating how some of us have little things to correct in order for a better chance of conceiving. Glad the B6 seems to have lengthened your LP for you. Here’s to your next cycle! 🍀

13dpo today and bfn. Going on holiday on Friday and just want my period before we go. Defo out at this point, right?

@BabyBornso yes apparently vitamin c alongside b6 and b complex lengthens it. And I have been taking that for I'd say 6 months maybe more and it has lengthened it from 8/9 to 11!
Now you have said that, this month I kind of took them every other day as I was worried incase I was taking too much! Maybe this is why it's turned up early x

Sorry to hear that @ChaE05 but going into a new cycle can be exciting too! Here’s hoping this next one will be the one for you! 🤞 have you tried vitamin B6? I’m sure that’s the one that helps lengthen the Luteal phase?!

@Wishingforfour11 dpo so makes it only a 9 day luteal phase...not great. Just hope it's down to something like stress?

When is your period due? Still keeping everything crossed for you! But I'm the same as you..I always seem to know I'm about before x

Oh sorry it got you @ChaE05! What dpo did it arrive on? Could you have ovulated a little earlier than you thought?

I'm 10dpo today but tested yesterday and was a BFN. I know 9dpo is early to test but I just have a feeling I'm out I'm starting to feel the usual pre period dull ache in my lower stomach.

AF has arrived 2 days early! This happened to anyone else before? Hope its just a one off. In to cycle 10 I go 🥲

@Wingingitlife congratulations ! Have a great holiday now!

@ChaE05 my last 2 pregnancies were conceived cycle 2 (aged 36) and cycle 3 (aged 38) so there's definitely hope!

Hello @rolo3000 ! Im 39 too 🥰 nice to have people similar age to share the ttc journey with

That was supposed to say in the last 12 months not 22! 🙄😂

@ChaE05weve got this 🙅‍♀️ xx

Hi @rolo3000 and welcome. Fingers crossed we all have some luck over the next few months. I’ve also had one chemical and 2 MMC in 22 months. Just got the find that 1 good egg!!

I am 42 and ttc number 3. Had number 2 at 39 and took 7 months to conceive. Have been ttc for about 10 months and have had 2 conceptions in that time, but one was a chemical and one was a mmc. Hoping for a late rainbow baby to complete the family. Currently 11dpo and bfn.

That’s strange! My dog did similar too! Started barking at neighbours when he’s not a barking dog! Growled at a plumber that came too. They definitely can smell the hormones. Let’s hoping there’s more of us that have the same luck in the next few months!!

@ChaE05 i know it can be deflating but you will get there! Nice we can be on this lonely journey together x

@BabyBornthank you!

the wierd thing is that I didn’t feel pregnant at all but from about 6do my dog started obsessing over my belly, sniffing it and licking it! My partners first and I joked that he had sensed I was pregnant! 🙊

Congratulations @Wingingitlife that’s amazing news and really encouraging! Our children are similar ages. 🥰 Have a great 4 days in the lakes! Keep us updated when you get back! Xx
