TTC 35+ thread 10

[Marvellouslymadmum]

We ran out of thread!! Will go back and try to tag everyone in here 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thank you @KatRee @Marvellouslymadmum @ElsieG3m. Maybe would consider giving up if I already had a child/children, but as I don’t that would mean never being a mum at all, which is too awful to contemplate! Will plough on as usual, hoping one day a miracle happens!
Allowed myself a few wines last night as my partner’s parents are visiting and I’m tired of denying myself everything when it doesn’t show any results anyway!
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend :)

@got2be
Maybe failed implantation? Or did they say that they were certain you had not ovulated ? When is your AF due? Its bloody hard all of this 😔 x

@Misty84 I know the feeling- I just can't imagine never being a mother, and I get gripped by the fear regularly these days. Please don't give up. The latest baby in my OH's circle of friends was conceived after the parents had been ttc two years , the month before they were due to start ivf, and of course many, many babies are conceived every day through fertility treatment x

@Misty84 I know how you feel and I felt that too after my stroke and miscarriages. I was/am so incredibly lucky to have our little girl and she is worth all the heartache but there were times I felt I just couldn't go on whilst everyone around me had one, two, three children. That pain and fear is impossible to describe. Do keep trying - eventually , somehow, these things work out. Would you consider ivf? (Sorry if missed - this thread moves two quickly) xx

10DPO, tested with a FRER. It might not be there at all and I might be imagining it..... But there is a vvf line!

Now to somehow wait until tomorrow morning to test again. I haven’t told him (mainly because it’s 6.30am on a Sunday and he’s asleep like most people would be) but I’m so scared that it’s going to be a chemical. But surely if it is, then he can support me through that? Why am I thinking of keeping this a secret from him? Ugh my brain is going at a million miles an hour. Need tea.

Ugh, what to do about the covid jab? Hmm.

Wait 24h, test again. Right. Ugh.

Sorry for brain blurt out 😂

@ImpatientTTCer exciting!!!! Photo? Xxx

Squint and think positively 😂

@ImpatientTTCer I see it!! And tbh it’s not that hard of a squint!!! CONGRATS!! Crossing everything for a sticky bean!!! 🥳 xxx

@ImpatientTTCer Oooooh! That’s a lovely line - I can see it even with bleary morning eyes and without my glasses. Congratulations 🥳 Got everything crossed that it’s a sticky one for you.
BFN on a cheapie for me at 9DPO - I need the gentle let down of some negative tests before AF arrives in a few days!
@Misty84 I’m so sorry it’s been such a trial. It’s so unfair that it happens so easily for some and yet takes so much for others to have a child. I so hope it happens for you soon.

Congratulations definitely a line there. I tested again this morning at half 6! Got a BFN. I'm due on today and nothing yet. I'm so confused and fed up of constantly thinking I'm pregnant then worrying when I go to the toilet xx

@ImpatientTTCer
Excellent!!! 😊
Fingers crossed it gets darker 🤞🏻
I have had on / off cm and sore boobs but BFN 🙈 damn you body!! So will see , I arent buying another box of FRER anyway thats for sure , il do another cheapy test on Tues xx

Congrats @ImpatientTTCer that’s an easy line to see!!

Anyone else 1dpo?! I don’t have much hope that this will be our month as we weren’t able to DTD much, but you never know.. and that annoying little spark of hope just won’t go away no matter how many times I’ve been disappointed!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@ImpatientTTCer congrats!!! Good luck for testing tomorrow.

@Farfaraway1 I’m 3dpo I think, I’m away atm and forgot my thermometer for the third temp to confirm it 🙈 but close enough!

@ImpatientTTCer congrats 🥳 defo a positive and will only get darker with time as you're still early! Wonderful news 😊

@Misty84 allowing yourself an indulgence is me a bad thing and helps to relax you so can only be positive in my opinion

@ImpatientTTCer that's definitely a little
Line! 🤞🏻 for a sticky bean!!

@Farfaraway1 I think I'm either at ov day or 1dpo not entirely sure yet!

@ImpatientTTCer woooo congratulations! Definitely a positive! Personally I would tell husband, as you say, if it turns out to be a chemical you will be gutted and need him xx

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 @Farfaraway1 I'm 3 dpo!

hey ladies had to take a moment to get my head around all that happened. thank you all for your kind word you really are an amazing group of ladies xx

@ImpatientTTCer definitely not a squinter.. congratulations xx

@Marvellouslymadmum @Misty84 @KatRee @MgW1 thank you xx yes totally confusing, even more so as af arrived bang on today with full force, just like when i had mc yet friday they said i had not ov.

@ImpatientTTCer huge congratulations!!!! Tell him! Why not?! Wishing a very happy and healthy 9 months! Xx

3 dpo (I think!) this end, but did not temping or OPKs this month as was getting stressed out with it all. That said, I still got stressed and I don't think ov'd as had almost no CM this month. Don't think this was my month sadly and was awake half the night feeling sad about it all. Positive this month has been acupuncture which has been amazing. Think I'll dose up on ubiquinol and maybe try pre-seed next month. Do any of you use pre-seed or have info on whether it's good to use? Xx

@ElsieG3m I've tried pre-seed no luck with it, i found it very messy but had no complaints from dh lol x
have you tried grapefruit juice or epo for ewcm?

@got2be I tried grapefruit juice this month but had no joy. I think I maybe had an anovulatory cycle as I do usually have EWCM. I've also had bad thrush and a UTI 😢 I haven't tried EPO but my acupuncturist has said I can try fish oil?!

Hey ladies, sorry just catching up! Welcome to any newbies! 😃

@got2be I'm so so so sorry to hear this, how awful and confusing! I hope you get more answers soon. Sounds like this private option is promising. Sending you so much love! 😘

@Sleeeeeepy sorry to see you go! But I'm glad you've found peace! Wishing you all the love and happiness in your future journey! 😘

@ImpatientTTCer yaaayyyy amazing news! 😍😍😍 Here's to a healthy happy pregnancy!

@VixFromThe6ix yay to darker lines! I think it's good to let the clinic know and they can check everything going ok! 😃

@Marvellouslymadmum how are you getting on? Thanks for asking! 7+3 here! Wish I could say the anxiety is alleviating, but I'll probably be like this until I have a healthy baby in my arms! Lot of fatigue and nausea, but I'll take all the symptoms in the world for a healthy baby! 😃

@Kitekat81 have you started your treatments yet?

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for all the testers soon!

@ElsieG3m i'm not so sure with this EWCM as tbh as i don think i've ever had it, normally watery why i tried pre-seed, but had bloods/ scans which has shown i've OV, so maybe don't rely so much on that.
maybe the thrush is what caused none for you this month?
re: fish oils ive started seven seas omega 3 with vit d. done nothing with ttc but skin is glowing lol

@M4v3r1ck thank you i'm hoping to get some answers too. i'm now wondering if you can ov twice in a month or ov during af!! because none of it makes sense but trying to not think about it too much and hope that i can eventually have some success with ttc xx
glad your doing well xx
