@Bl0ndeye yes I've got 2. One is 14 the other 10. I'm 35 & my partner is 45. I feel like time is running out as know your eggs rapidly decline from 35 onwards😣 it took me two years to conceive my 10yr old & I was a spring chicken then, so not holding out much hope this time round. What will be will be. I really hope that is a squinted on that pic! Test again in a day or two xx

Ooh yes @Bl0ndeye I think I can see something there. Fingers crossed.

MyGossip · 22/05/2020 08:34

@Harper04 I'm due AF on Wednesday so I think I'm just going to wait and see 🙈🙈 otherwise if I take one I now and it's a BFN I'll be disappointed and grumpy all weekend!

Bl0ndeye · 22/05/2020 08:49

@Chlo2701 do you take any supplements or anything to help ? I'm sure your not too old by any means 35 is not old ! Hahaha Youll have loads of eggs x

Hi Ladies,

@Bl0ndeye - I can definitely see the start of a line - fingers crossed this develops for you!

@Chlo2701 - you are NOT old! Ha - I am 2 years older than you and I don't feel old, maybe a bit incompetent at the moment though! I just am so frustrated...we dtd pretty much every day over my fertile window and I got another BFN this morning on a FRER. I know I am 13 dpo and not 13.6 as per the literature we read yesterday but am getting a lot of yellowy CM and lots of cramping too so don't feel like it will be good news this month for me.

I am holding out for you ladies - let's get through this!

Bl0ndeye · 22/05/2020 09:59

I really hope so I'll be devoed if I come
On Sunday now 😭😭

@Bl0ndeye I think I can see something in your last pic!!!🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Yep I'm taking, Vit D, folic acid, Vit C, & some cod liver oil tablets aswel. I'm thinking about maybe taking something to help improve the quality of my eggs incase they're not great, but haven't got a clue what to take to help that🤦‍♀️ as my cycles are pretty regular so don't want anything to mess it up.
@msanne ah bless you, it's not that I feel old I'm just worried about my egg quality & how long it might take me to conceive 😣
Sorry about the BFN it's always so deflating when you see them, I feel like you that this isn't my month as just feel like AF is coming. Guess we're just going to have to sit tight & see if she makes an appearance. I hate this bit😣xx

msanne · 22/05/2020 10:21

@Chlo2701 - I hear you. I had both of my kids before I was 35 and my last pregnancy (terminated in March at 15 weeks) was due to Edwards syndrome. They say this is a mutation that happens by bad luck - but I suppose could also be down to my egg quality not being what they used to be.

I've heard Co_enzyme 10 is good for improving the quality of eggs - although takes 3 months to have any effect. Costco sell a big bottle of the stuff but I'm sure amazon etc do it too.

Currently taking EPO, Cod liver oil (with multivitamins) and Folacin. My cycles have always been pretty regular...but I will not be sure this time until AF arrives this month., as I don't know whether I ovulated when I thought I did...

Hurry up and arrive already, I am so over waking up anxious to test and getting disapoointed. I need to ovulate again already :P

xoxo

emiliet123 · 22/05/2020 11:03

Oh @Bl0ndeye please don't say you're old - I'm 27, and I really don't want to be thinking this is it for me! Haha. Looks like you've got a couple fo squinters there - so much for not testing early, hey?! Fingers crossed a million times over for you, really hoping for the best here!

@Chlo2701 yeah the link worked for me as well, and it's like I KNOW my tests are gonna be BFNs if. am testing early, even when I was a week late for my period first time around, they were still only squinters! But this month I am feeling positive and I know I'm going to be testing like crazy. I'm only 7dpo at the moment so I'm in for a few more days wait before I do crack open a FRER.

Bl0ndeye · 22/05/2020 11:19

@emiliet123 I no I'm too impatient cost my self a fortune 😅 I feel old compared to chris anyway hahaha he's a little spring chicken 25 🤣🤣

Chlo2701 · 22/05/2020 14:57

@msanne honestly I feel for you so much, must just be an unimaginable situation to be in. I can never imagine how that must of felt. Having to go through something like that is just my biggest fear. I'll be scared if I get pregnant, because my fear is having a miscarriage, I don't think I'll be able to properly relax until the 20week scan was out the way.
Has it made you really worried about getting pregnant again? What I mean by that is do you think you'll be worrying until you've had the 20wk scan?
Ive seen a few ladies mention Co_enzyme 10 but I've no idea what it is, so I'll have to google it.
I never took vitamins when I conceived my last 2 pregnancies, just took folic acid once I realised I was pregnant.
This time round I'm just feeling really deflated about it all, maybe it's because I've got this gut feeling it's just not going to happen.
If you're worried about your ovulation, I'd definitely recommend the Clearblue digital ovulation tests. I've used them the last 2 cycles, & I think they're spot on, because when I got my peak, solid smiley face I had ovulation pains aswel, so I'd definitely say they work xx

IndigoJam · 22/05/2020 15:07

I'm trying to put off testing. I've told myself I'll order tests on Sunday from amazon which will come on Monday and by then I'll be 9/10po. Patience has never been a strong point of mine... I hate waiting.

I havent had period pain in years and I've been getting slight pains in my lower tummy but I've also been doing more ab exercises this week so could just be my abs crying.

msanne · 22/05/2020 15:32

@Chlo2701 - it's like you've read my mind.

I am petrified of falling pregnant again as I will be an emotional wreck for 12 weeks followed by being nervous until 20 weeks. Everyone keeps telling me to take my time and have some down time, but what they don't realise is that, I am 37 and I don't have time to just chill out! My son is now nearly 6 and my daughter is nearly 5 and I don't want them to have a huge age gap with their much-wanted sibling if possible.
I also really took for granted how easily I got pregnant with my children; I only took folate once I knew I was pregnant and both pregnancies were fairly straightforward. When I fell pregnant the last time, I didn't even think that something could be wrong, other than feeling really, really shit the whole time (which I hadn't experienced with my other two).

Right now, waiting for AF to show up, I am overwhelmed by so many suspected pregnancy symptoms, but know from my BFN that it is highly unlikely...I don't know how many more disappointments and heartbreaks I can take atm. I know we need to be patient, but I NEED some good news already! I really do find so much solace in knowing that there are others who are in similar positions and helping to support each other.

If AF does arrive tomorrow, I will defos get the CB OPK as suggested.

xoxo

Harper04 · 22/05/2020 16:37

@MyGossip I don’t blame you! I think I’m going to wait next cycle if I’m unlucky this time! I tested again this morning, BFN. But then done another at 4pm and had a faint positive again on wondfo but not pregnant on clear blue digital! So confusing Confused Have you had any symptoms?

Harper04 · 22/05/2020 16:38

@Bl0ndeye I can definitely see something on your test!! & I bet you can see better in person, my phone never picks up how I can see it! Fingers crossed!!

Bl0ndeye · 22/05/2020 17:08

@Harper04 thanks I'm a serial Poas addict and did a fr at dinner time and that was a BFN just need stooppppppp and wait see if I come one 😅

Harper04 · 22/05/2020 17:30

@Bl0ndeye me tooo!! I’ve done 3 today! I need to stop buying them, if they’re there I will use them 😂 Had a veeeeery faint positive yesterday morning, negative this morning and then a faint positive 4pm today. But then clear blue digital not pregnant 🙄 Wish I had willpower to wait!

Daisy545 · 22/05/2020 17:52

Hi girls, hope you don't mind me jumping in. I've been following this thread and looking some advice.

I don't regularly get periods, had multiple dr appointment which has confirmed that I have pcos and a partially blocked Fallopian tube.

Anyway me and my partner dtd around the 30th April, I don't know when I ovulate, only started tracking temp. About a week ago I didn't think anything of it but I started to get really sore nipples. A few days ago sharp twinges around my uterus with a little spotting (brown in colour) then some cramps and last night I had a little bleed but only a little discharge since.

I done a test this morning but it was a bfn I have no idea what is happening with my body as I don't get periods. Could I be implanting this late and it still isn't showing or is it a period.

Sorry for the long post, sending love 💕

Babywadd2021 · 22/05/2020 19:31

Hey all can I join I'm 7dpo today I think I tested being totally silly lol and think I can see a squinter 🤔 I don't know how to post pictures how's everyone getting on

Bl0ndeye · 22/05/2020 19:45

@Harper04 I need step away from the tests

Or id get a BFP so I know why I'm a bloated whale

@Daisy545 I'm
Not really sure hun x

@Babywadd2021 you need to clock paper clip x

Harper04 · 22/05/2020 19:57

@Daisy545 hey! I’ve never really tracked my temp before but I read somewhere that it usually dips just before ovulation and then goes high on ovulation day, do you see anything like that on your chart?

The symptoms and spotting are a good sign to me 🤞🏼

@Bl0ndeye how many dpo are you? Will you test again tomorrow? I have one first response left ahhhhh!
