Over 40 ttc - Autumn baby dust for me!

[Orchid222]

Here's our new thread, let's hope it's a lucky one!

Well girls. The bloods were a big fat 0 so onwards to another cycle. Relieved to stop these progesterone tablets and suppositories and to start to feel normal again

Afternoon Ladies, I'm so confused.. I had previously seen no line on my test so assumed either from last month chemical or a very early chemical again.

Just because I'm obsessed I have just tested again with FRER and there is another line. Stronger line. I'm 12DPO today.
Not sure whether to trust this or not??! X

@WishingonaStar77 looks like a strong line to me! x

And hcg levels double every 48hours

Oh wishing......so happy for you.... I had this vibe that you are indeed pregnant..... congratulations and wishing you happy and healthy pregnancy

@Dinah99 I had a chemical last month and this month I tested super early at 7dpo. Got the faintest line but within the next 3 days it faxed to nothing.
So as far as I was concerned it was leftover HCG or another chemical.
Now I see this at 12dpo and don't know what to think 🙄 x

Faded I meant lol

@WishingonaStar77 not to get your hopes up but if it faded surely that meant the hormones were out of system from CP and now they are stronger pregnancy ones? I know nothing about it to be fair but seems like a good sign that the line is getting darker, it's going to be a sit a wait situ though and just try to wait another 48 hours to test (at least 24.. ) everything x'ed for you xx

@Presh12345 sorry to hear that, so disappointing for you. Is such a tough old game x

Ooh @Presh12345 I'm so sorry sending big hugs 🤗
@WishingonaStar77 that looks like a good sign x

Wishing that looks really promising - fingers crossed for you 🤞

Presh - so sorry it didn’t work out this time = hopefully the next cycle will be the one! Did you pay for a package of a certain number of cycles?

@Presh12345 sorry IUI didn't work this time! Fingers crossed for the next one!!
@WishingonaStar77 , I think it's definite BFP! Tentative congratulations!!

Yes that's a BFP Rose! Tentative congrats!

Presh.. Sorry to hear your iui didn't work ..wishing you luck for next time x

As for me, well I'm in bed atm with quite bad cramps only AF is 2 wks away so I'm wondering what the hell is going on! Last time I had cramp this bad was when I had an ovarian cyst. It dissipated on its own but my god it hurt!! I had to actually stop driving and get out the car doubled up in agony..pain killers wouldn't touch it. Admittedly the pain I have now is easing slightly and is on and off and around my back too like contractions. I have a lot of mucus and no bleeding or spotting. Weird!

Apologies I meant Wishing in my previous msg. Sorry Rose. The pain is making me delirious!

Thanks all, I have a scan Monday for miscarriage investigations. I know they won't see anything but do you think I should tell them? X

@WishingonaStar77 yes you should...
@BooseysMom could it be ovulating pain?

Morning Chat, thanks for your msg.. if it's ovulation it ls the strongest it's been ever I think..too painful to dtd! Today it's eased off but it's too late prob and anyway we won't get the chance til tonight when DS is asleep. It's hopeless tbh! Wondered if it was implantation pain? But too early I would say.
How's everyone today?

Congrats wishing, that looks possitive to me. I would definitely tell them at scan

Boosey - could it be another cyst?

Congrats Wishing - that is a great line!

Booseys - when did you ovulate? If it’s recently it could be a ruptured cyst if the pain is that bad?

@BooseysMom feeling pants today... think I have already ov as had twinges a few days ago.. app shows that it's due in a few days.. have been dtd every other day except yesterday as hubs was being a tit.. had my youngest nephews Christening today which was hard.. Mother is a cow but thankfully didn't give her an opportunity to hurt, but eldest offspring dug the knife in.. thankful to be going home tired and emotional
😞

Thanks Cleo & Little .. It's def not another cyst. The pain has gone. I reckon it's ovulation but particularly painful. I read they can get like this some months. I missed dtd last night because of it.

Chat...Sorry you're feeling rubbish..what a bad day..no wonder you're glad to be home! Sounds like you've done all you can with dtd. I haven't dtd anywhere near enough. But tbh I'm scared to have another dc as dh has been off sick from work for 5 months and will go down to half pay soon. Also it looks likely he'll be made medically redundant so how can we afford another now? 😪

Rose- so very sorry. It must feel so unfair.

Presh- oh no! Keep trying. Disappointment is so horrible.

Wishing77- that's a happy sight! I love a double line photo!!

Thanks guys, but this next week feels critical it will either turn into a chemical or it will stick.. not out the woods yet..

Presh12345 so sorry to hear things didn't work this time. Stay positive x

BooseysMom I had really wired painful ovary throbbing pain this month. I actually thought I had ovulated again but that's unlikely. It lasted all day..

My DP and I work for same company and there may be some big reorganision next year. It worries is too if we were to get made redundant but we both know we would make it work somehow x

I've been offline for a while but just catching up on everyone's news. So sorry to hear about your loss Rose, take good care of yourself x Welcome to the new people.
I had an appointment with a gynaecologist last week (paid for a private consult so I didn't have to wait) and he has agreed to do a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy to see if we can find out if there's any damage/scarring from my previous c section. I'm booked in for January and he has offered to do it on the NHS. It cost £150 to see him and I've totally jumped the queue, so it was well worth it! Hopefully will get some answers so we know if another cycle of ivf will be worth doing.
Good luck to all waiting for bfp/af and those starting treatment x

I haven't been on for a while.. sorry to hear bad news and good luck for everyone still pg

I have ovulated this month but missed the window to dtd as dh away☹️ but am at least pleased I am ovulating as had weird cycles for last few months!

Am going for 21 day bloods .. but day 21 falls on a sat.. if I go on day 20 will this be ok?
