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...!

@realitysucks - I'm still around and doing fine, thanks for asking. To be honest now that I'm nearly 24 weeks I feel like a fraud on the conception boards so don't check in or post too often anymore 😊 I hope your next IVF cycle is more successful for you - keep us updated 🤞

@Karigan195 - congrats on reaching second trimester, hope you're feeling well 😊

Hellen - so sorry for your loss xxx

Also, I saw my tummy move for the first time this morning - amazing 😊

That’s awesome :)

Does it feel like a wrestling match in there with two 😁

@CritterTamer glad you’re ok we haven’t forgot about you 🤣🤣🤣 I’m missing your posts lol.

I’m ok too am on 10dpo from cancelled cycle but with trigger and natural ditched attempt lol. Negative this morning but convinced I have metallic taste today and thought my assistant smelt of wee then realised it was her purfume. Am symptom spotting now🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🙄

The oddest thing just happened. Did a pg test strip and dropped it in bathroom floor.

It's vanished into thin air. I saw it and went to pick it up, it flicked as I got my nail under it and now it's just gone no where to be seen. Weird!!!

The universe is now saying don't even bother with a test !!

Checked everything and under bath mat, just gone !!

Hellen that made me spit out my coffee. Maybe the universe should intervene on my behalf and make my ic stash disappear pre-pee! Would break the habit...addicted to poas and a glutton for punishement!

It's so weirdl!!! I can't find that test stick anywhere. I think it's gone under the built In units.

Ah well no more tests for me clearly. Even The cosmos is saying NO!

Maybe I have to accept and listen. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I want a baby so badly ☹️. And it's just never gonna happen now I'm just too ancient. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Period arrived last night 😕 day 33, disappointed but also pleased to be able to start again.

Think I am going to try ovulation tests this month. Might help to ensure we time things right. Just concerned about it adding to the pressure/stress

Hello all
Got my NIPT results today - all low risk and we are having a baby girl. Just got to get to the 12 wk scan now on Monday and then I might believe it is real.
4 weeks on Friday until my 41st birthday so really hoping I'll be able to celebrate. I still feel a bit in limbo - it's very lonely having this big secret!

@hellenbackagen did you find it 🤣🤣🤣 ifit make syou feel bette my test just didn’t work this morning 😡😡 bloody waste of my morning pee. No lines for 15 mins then a faint negative.

@Lexilooo sorry AF is here. Mine is due tomorrow. I’m starting to think the worse now as 11 dpo and still no posatove result.

@Megan2018 congratulations that’s great news on the result and a girl too! What id give for a baby girl!

reality no....it's completely vanished. It must have slipped under the built in units - but I didn't see how it was just there then it wasn't! Bizarre! No more testing for me now unless af is late. Cd26 so a few days to go.

the Boobs usually tell me exactly where in my cycle I am and I think af will come - they get really tender but then it wears off right before af and think that's what's happening....think I'll be wasting tests if I bother and clearly this is the cosmos or higher power hiding the result from me....!

Congratulations @Megan2018. That's fantastic news!

Period is definitely here. Arse. So on to the next month.

@Karigan195.. The photo is so lovely.. Congratulations again. Reminds me of DS's. Can I post it here? As he's our only and it looks like we won't have another I'd like to post it. I wasn't on mumsnet when we had him.

@hellenbackagen.. I feel your pain being 47 too I feel ancient and am looking more and more like my mother every day!

@CritterTamer..great to hear from you and glad all ok. That's lovely you felt the baby move for the first time

Congratulations @Megan2018. It's a girl! Really happy for you

@BooseysMom I say post it :) no cute scan picture is ever out of place

I say post it boosey

Got some very light pink spotting cd 26 which is way early for me ☹️. Maybe I'm starting with menopausal symptoms.

No doubt now af is in the way ☹️😥 no point in testing!

Ok thanks Karigan & Hellen 😁.. just got to find it now! Did you find that test in the end Helle??

Boosey that test situation is a bit freaky ....it must be under the built in cupboard it's the only place it could be - but I can't work out how it flicked under as I picked it up....it's vanished.

I've got pink spotting today which is really really early for my period. I'm cd 26. I've just looked back and I'd begin Ov tests cd11.... got a high cd 12, 13 and 14 then ran out of tests. So I must have ovulated after cd 15.... could this be implantation spotting? I darent even let my mind wander to that possibility really....
Could just be because we've dtd loads ....I sometimes bleed a bit after lots of nooky!

Boobs less achy...maybe it's just a rogue cycle with an early af....but I'm never early....not cd 26'early anyway.

If I get to cd 29 no af I'll retest. And not let go of the stick so it cant disappear!!

I'm being ridiculous .... at 47 ....it's more likely to be menopause!

Hi girls so negative test again today 11dpo conivinced I saw a bit of light red tonight so AF on way I’m gutted now booking a ski trip for April f* it 😡😡

Just catching up with you ladies. @booseysMom definitely post it, love a scan picture! 🥰
Congratulations @megan2018 💞
Sorry if I’ve missed anyone else.
Afm another one on here with a February birthday, yesterday and had my appt with recurrent miscarriage clinic too! Happy birthday to me!
Loads of blood tests taken but doc has advised us to carry on trying for another year at least, unless something comes back from tests. Just to start on 75mg of aspirin IF I get a BFP again.
TWW just now so we will see what happens this month, it feels like it’s going to be a long road but this thread and you ladies definitely help.
So for now i’ll enjoy my crackers with brie and glass of wine!

Morning all and happy Birthday yesterday to @Annie078.. sorry it's a late msg ..I went to bed v.early last night. Hope you enjoyed your brie & wine . I've just bought a massive wedge of brie myself!

Helle..that's really bizarre about the test. You never know about implantation bleed. If you've been ttc that much then ...well you never know! Keeping everything crossed for you x

Reality..So sorry AF has made an appearance

Hope everyone else ok x
