35+ TTC#1 Thread 7

[PixieN]

It’s time for a new thread for a lovely bunch of ladies supporting each other through our TTC efforts, possible IVF plans, possible alternative life journeys and adventures with or without babies after the age of 35. Think that about sums it up

@BambiOnIce80 @79andnotout @CNizzle @VenusStarr @QuantumGirl @Carley321 @Wannabemum38 @Russkispy @Kescilly @Laney79 @Weathergirl1 @Pinkywoo @birdbybird

I’ve included everyone who has posted on the last four pages of the previous thread. Hope that’s o.k as I know some of you have graduated to another thread, but still like to check in and apologies if i’ve missed anyone.

Lots of luck to everyone at whatever stage we’re at 💕

@Carley321 sorry you are feeling fed up, we have to pick ourselves, dust ourselves off and DTD again 😁 hoping this month brings good news for all, I'm CD12 and have had 4 high fertility readings on clear blue opk so hopefully get a peak tomorrow 🤞
@BambiOnIce80 amazing news, so happy for you 🤰🎉

Hey ladies, so at CD13, I have a peak reading on the opk, so what to do, the baby dance of course 😁

We certainly do @Gupster. How are you? Hope you got down to business after your peak!

@Carley321 I'm good thank you and I did indeed, I'm now 4dpo and waiting until I can test 🙈
How are you, what's your status currently? X

Good luck 🤞. CD8 for me and nothing so far, been full of cold and completely forgot to test. But I’m not as on it with it all as I have in the past. I’ve slowly lost hope over time and just waiting for the next doctors appointment. Hey maybe that will help 🤣🤞.

@Carley321 is that starting again and being CD8? I'm using an app and it says to test in 8 days but af is due in 5 days (Saturday), I'm so confused 😩

@BambiOnIce80 how are you doing/feeling? Hope everything is ok?!

@BambiOnIce80 😃🥳💋🎉

Thanks for thinking of me @Russkispy 😘 And thank you to everyone for the congratulations 🥰 Still can't quite believe it, in all honesty! Other than AF being awol and getting tired more easily, nothing much has changed! 🤷‍♀️ We've got the 7 week viability scan this time next week though, so I guess we'll find out what's going on in there then 👀

Have you got your next appointment lined up now @Carley321? 🤞🤞🤞

Yes @Gupster. But who knows when ovulation shows. I did start taking pregnacare last cycle and I actually had a 27 day cycle so that seemed positive 🤞 the same happens this time round. I think apps are good for a basic knowledge of when things might happen and keeping tabs on symptoms but I wouldn’t solely rely on an app.
Good luck 🤞

Hello @BambiOnIce80 so glad to hear your feeling fine ☺️ Wow almost 7 weeks already time really does fly doesn’t it. So excited for you. Have you told anyone irl yet? How’s DP holding up?

Oh and yes I have my apt mid March I’m just 🙏 that it doesn’t get pushed back. I’m very nervous but trying not to think about it.

@BambiOnIce80 I've got absolutely everything crossed for your first scan!

AFM, There’s never straight forward with any scans! I’m so glad I stayed here to be seen by my doc! She saw some sort of a tiny knot on the scan and couldn’t work out whether it would hinder transfer! So I had a hysteroscopy! And it turns out it was just in a muscle! Whatever the hell that means! Suffice to say my lining is beautiful according to my doc at 10mm and I’m triggering on Friday night and transfer is next Friday morning. Flights are booked now 😁 let’s just hope and pray hard it will be my last trip home for those reasons!! God I could do with a break! 😔

@Carley321 I know Hun, I used the clear blue ovulation test and got a peak and should have af this weekend, so we will see.
Glad pregnacare is helping you and 🤞 for you xx

You absolutely deserve a break @Russkispy ❤️ Keeping everything crossed for your transfer 🤞🍀🤞🍀

Excellent news that you've got your appointment date through @Carley321! 🤩 Is this for the lap, for your ultrasound results or both? Really hoping things get moving for you now 🤞💖🤞💖

DP is holding up really well, thanks for asking 😄 He's cleaning up after himself in the kitchen after he's cooked (he's a great cook, but I want to stab him in the face when I see the carnage he leaves behind him!), he's dealing with the kitten's litter tray now that I can't and he's been cracking on with the hoovering and the mopping so that I don't 'exert' myself too much... who is he and what has he done with my DP?! 😂

Thanks @Gupster x

Good luck @Russkispy I hope you get that break you so rightly deserve 💐.

@BambiOnIce80 the apt Is for the lap, still not seen a doctor and still won’t for upto 4-6 weeks after the lap. It’s crazy. I’m hoping I can at least get a written report so I can take it to My private clinic.
Wow well done to DP 😃. Milk it for all it’s worth haha 🤣. That’s very lovely to hear though. Let us know how that scan goes ☺️❤️ X

We had our 20 week scan and all looks good and healthy - so relieved 🥰 We’re having a girl! 💓

Good luck for your scan @BambiOnIce80 I was so nervous at the 7 week one as the sonographer stared at the screen for ages and didn’t say anything!

Good luck with your transfer @Russkispy and hope your lap goes o.k @Carley321 💕

Hope AF stays away @Gupster 🤞

The dreaded af has arrived 🙄
Back to the beginning again!
Good luck for everyone else that's still in with a chance, I hope for some BFP 🧚

Awwwww, a girl @PixieN!! 😍😍😍 Fantastic news! 🥰 Does that mean that the 20 week scan is the point that we might actually stop worrying for a bit and relax?! 😉 At the moment I feel like I'm holding my breath until the 7 week scan, then it'll be the 12 week scan and then the 20 week scan! 🤪

Getting a written report so that you can crack on with seeing the private clinic sounds like a cunning plan @Carley321 👍 Hopefully you'll just fall pregnant naturally once the lap is done though 🤞🍀🤞🍀

Sorry to hear that AF arrived @Gupster 💐 I hope you're doing something nice to commiserate/treat yourself?x

Yay, congratulations @PixieN that's fab news 🤰👶

@BambiOnIce80 look forward to hearing about your scan, good luck 🤰

I'm very confused this morning, so I thought af had arrived yesterday but seems to have just been a small spot and now nothing and I haven't had any period cramps or bloating like I usually do, it is due today and I did a test on Thursday as felt different and it was negative 🤔 x

I'm dpo13 today and I decided to test but it came out clearly a bfn🥺. I'm not thinking no yet because of my last 2 months of cycle craziness ( my cycle was 40days last time and it's normally 28 days). So I honestly feel like I'm out. But you know we not out til our cycles start only this month I'm not sure when that really will be.
I'm almost ready to give up😫. I mean I'm 39 and have been struggling with this far to long(4 loses) I'm so tired!!!

@swife im currently CD23 and according to the clear blue digital opk I used,I'm 10dpo. I was expecting my period to arrive today, as my cycle is normally 23 days, but it hasn't arrived and I have no period symptoms, I usually have cramps etc for a couple of days before. I took a test earlier today and it was negative, do you think I still have a chance of being pregnant or am I out, I'm so confused!
I hope you get a BFP 🧚 x

@Gupster, we're not out til AF comes. Yes I'm super frustrated but that makes me want to try harder. Let's not be discouraged. My cycle last month was wacky. And prior to that my 2 cycles were also wacky. But I do know, from lab test and sonogram that I'm not yet in menopause so even though I'm frustrated I will keep trying until I can't anymore. I pray you get your BFP. Remember we're not out til AF comes.

@Swife thanks Hun, your words are positive and make me feel like there is still hope. I am keeping everything crossed for you too. I pray for both of us AF stays away x

@PixieN thank you!

@Gupster and @Swife hope AF stays away! Crossing everything for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@BambiOnIce80 how are you feeling? Not long till the scan 🤞🏻

AFM, i triggered on Friday night and starting progesterone tomorrow with transfer booked on Friday morning 🙏🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Just popping back in to say congratulations @PixieN 🎉😊💗 wonderful news!

@Russkispy wishing you well for your transfer 🤞

@BambiOnIce80 hope all is going well

Sadly for me I've had my third miscarriage 💔 very early this time. We've got our ivf funding and it could start imminently but we've decided to do some private testing to check for natural killer cells, so need to delay for a while. My initial bloods for recurrent miscarriage are all normal, so not looking like a clotting issue at the moment.
