Cannot sleep. Backstory is; lovely childhood but with, as I know now as an adult, pretty grim abuse from someone much, much older leading onto promiscuity on my behalf then, after marrying, lots of years TTC unsuccessfully (turned out to be me that was the problem, an infection linked to previous events - one fallopian tube removed, the other ‘plastered in adhesions’ was prised open.)
Five years later OH and I had IVF, on second cycle were successful, ecstatic, DS who we dote on to this day.
Always counted ourselves lucky, and know we are, but I am a week late, at the age of peri menopause (my mum was 43 and I am 41) and not sure what to think. Periods usually pretty reliable and have a test ready for the morning but not sure if being totally unrealistic!
Not expecting any replies but thanks for the offload!

I wouldn't want to call it, but I also couldn't wait all night! I would get my Hope's up and then be crushed if negative.

Shit, I'm not helping much

Happened to me last month and I’m 45. Cycle usually 35 days. Tested on day 43. Was negative.

Period started the next day. I was expecting it to be a little heavier than usual. It wasn’t.

I agree with chicken, I'd do the test now. Fingers crossed for you but also agree not get your hopes up too much. Take a big deep breath & go for it. Flowers

chickenyhead I know, I think I know what the answer will be too but waiting for first morning wee as apparently strongest! In my heart I think I already know - to be honest will be a relief knowing no longer a (very slight) possibility and we’ve been far more blessed than others already. (still sucks though!)

Moose and Eileen (not so much the rate my sexy ass person) thank you! I will test in the morning to be sure but think it’s probably another wonderful thing about getting older!
