Over 40 TTC - lots of baby dust for us...2!

[Hobbes39]

New thread as last one filling up - will try to link to this in old one...!

Congrats to those with bfps!

I’m on cd3 and feeling the lowest I’ve felt in a while. Didn’t take my b6 enough last cycle and ran out of Shatavari. Ended up looking at the baby albums this morning - how depressing.

Last cycle felt good and now crash back down.

So wish we’d done IVF 2 years ago when I was considering it. OH was like “no, we don’t need to”. Ggggrrrrrr.

Its not to late to do IVF now alibaba. Would you consider it?

Right girls I know this is stupid !!! But I did a test this morning. It looked negative, Ive just looked at it, it’s an evap isn’t it ???!!??

It is more blue in the natural light than on the pic !

Is this any better ?

That looks like a line to me reality. What dpo are you?

@Cleozeta maybe an evap as it was from this morning and then I looked just now and it’s like this. But then it does look blue rather than white. I’m 13 days past trigger and 9 days since 2 days egg transfer, so 11 days since egg collection.

Whenever I have looked at a line, hours (or days) later its always been stark white.

No, I wouldn’t have IVF now Cleo.

Reality, I’ve had one like that before. Never knew if it was an evap or faint positive. Maybe try again in a day or 2.

I’m thinking faint positive but you really need to leave it a few days then try again :)!

Just checking in as been away for a few days of blissful r&r!

Congratulations russ!and fingers crossed for everyone else.

Came across an article in women and home magazine about a first time mum at 46 which depressed me a bit as she paid 40k In ivf which is never gonna happen here

Anyway cd26 and getting crampy af type pain so it's on the way . Not even gonna bother testing.

cleo good luck ....very difficult to tell tho doesn't seem to be a lot of colour in it .

I have had 3 like this since losing Rosie so I now try not to test . None of them stuck or came to anything.

@Reality ooohhhh exciting! Can you do a frer in the morning? Your skiing could be in jeopardy!

Sorry that was to reality ! Muddled brain ....shock of having to come home after a few days away!

@hellenbackagain @rose68 so went to Sainsbury’s can you belive it no pregnancy tests🤷‍♀️ Could only get a cheap crappy home brand and it was negative. Going to wait till Wednesday and test, then official test date is Friday. I’m not hopeful as I think it’s an evap to be honest 😞

You could order a frer online.... next day delivery

@Realitysucks the first pic lines look clearer.. and I'm assuming you are in our time zone.. in England the concentrate of hcg hormones in the wee are stronger in the morning.. so maybe test in the morning..

atm thought in tww but ewcm still going strong..

Oooh @Realitysucks - there is a def line there - I recommend FRER tho - the pink ones - they pick up HCG better than others... I'm v hopeful for you! As cleo suggests you can get nct day delivery of FRER on amazon.... good luck!! X

Also, if you can hold you wee for a while (at least 4 hours) the afternoon wee can be just as good as morning x

Ladies, just got my HCG results. It's 781! I have to repeat beta in Wednesday. I'm absolutely gobsmacked! With my DD I only had 100! I don't even know what to think! Wow!

Lol you girls make me laugh! The clear blue this morning was a morning pee. I’ve ordered 4 frer from amazon 🤣🤣🤣 I hate clear blue tests but that’s what clinic said to use and I wasted all my frers last month 😬 I’m in London tomorrow so maybe boots will have some. 🤣🤣🤣 I cant wait till Friday 🤣🤣🤣😳 not gonna say anything to DH. My test on Saturday was definitely a negative so have compared them. FaceTimed my sister and she said it’s deifnitly stronger and a line compared to Saturday but she is all for not testing till test day as could be a chemical 🙄🙄🙄 4 more days girls, 4 more days 🤣🤣🤣

@Russkispy 😱! That is an amazingly strong HCG! Did you say you just had one embryo put back? Maybe it divided?! Or maybe you are just a big HCG producer...?! I know that high HCG can be indicative of twins, but equally could just be you...! When do you have a scan?!
@Realitysucks - keep us posted!
I have a scan tomorrow (nhs '12w' scan - I'll be about 13.5 tho) so fingers crossed that all is still well in there...🤞 I'm getting nervous as we've told people now and I'm scared that something will go wrong 😬 (especially scared having told DS)

@littlemimosa..Thank you for the recommendation for palpitations in peri.. sounds like a book or something doesn't it..Palpitations in Peri!! (My phone keeps auto correcting it to Peru! 😁)

@CowGurl.. thanks for the msg. Interesting you've been getting the palps too.
"Preggers in Peri" would make a good book/film too!

@Russkispy.. what an amazing line! Massive congratulations

@Realitysucks..I can see a line too. Good luck x

@BooseysMom thank you!
@Hobbes39 , yes, it was only 1 transferred. And the early scan is actually falling on my birthday! I'll be 43. But I'll have it a day later 🤪

@Hobbes39.. just seen your msg. didn't mean to miss you out! Thinking of you tomorrow ..good luck x Ps. What was DS's reaction to the news??
