TTC 35+ thread 11

[VixFromThe6ix]

New thread! I dunno how to tag everyone from the other thread 🤣

@birdbybird sorry to hear of your losses, but great that you know from number 1 that you can produce babies. Fingers crossed you get a positive test soon.

@VixFromThe6ix I just have a hideous cold! It started on Friday when I got my squinter and kicked in properly on Saturday when I got my frer bfp. Exactly the same as with my daughter. I feel GRIM. (But very lucky)

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 when is your period due? Mine is tomorrow or latest Thursday. I've been testing and my line is definitely darker so 🤞

@Noodella18 sorry you're feeling rough, especially on holiday. I don't know about progression, these are 9 dpo, 10 dpo, 11 dpo - it's a bit darker. Had a 1-2 weeks digi today. Just trying not to worry. Period is due tomorrow

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 Thank you! I'm really hoping it will be the miracle cure, but terrified it won't be.

@KatRee at least it's only a day and a bit away now, but gosh the anticipation of it must be tough. X

@KatRee good luck! I heard mixed remarks about this in terms of pain but only good stuff on its impact on pregnancy!

Probably think of the cutest baby face if it hurts a little and it's all gonna worth it !

@Noodella18 aw I hope you feel better!

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 top and bottom tests definitely look like a good progression. I don't think your period is coming, love. 😂

Hey , yes I had a lovely bday thank you x
I did another test and slightly darker on Sunday. I darent do anymore 🙄 I have pregnancy symptoms at present 🤞🏻 but after 3 mc's in 12 months, im not getting my hopes up!! I am technically a week late tomorrow but ov late so I am approx 16 dpo. How are you doing ?[/quote]
Glad you had a good time celebrating your birthday!!!!
It's also awesome that your line is getting darker.
I hope it's a sticky bean for you, lovely.
I know how you feel with not getting your hopes up. Every day I wake up hoping something is gonna be a strong indication that something is growing inside, but instead it's same day in and day out and now I'm starting to think the worst.
Sorry, don't want a be a Debbie Downer just tired of complaining to my partner.
Waiting for this ultrasound is making me anxious and kind of crazy. Like can you imagine a bad result? I dunno what I'd do...
Ah, I'm a mess.

@VixFromThe6ix sorry you're struggling, lovely. It's so early for symptoms yet, so there's nothing to show us it's okay and we are in fact pregnant!! Just waiting now... Are you getting another blood beta in the meantime? Could be reassuring x

I wish they sent me for another test, tbh. But no they just said go for ultrasound June 17th.
This is so darn hard. In my heart I'm like hopeful and excited and in my head I'm thinking why would this be any different that last two times.
I know 4 weeks is early I'm just looking for a sign lol anything to signal the little bean is sticking around.
I think it's a bit mental for me cause both times I lost it at 6 weeks so with 6 weeks approaching I'm like getting into a dark place.😬

Do you feel anything at all??? Sore boobs aside that is...

Hi everyone, my lines after my BFP on Weds haven’t progressed at all 😫 I’m at the GP tomorrow to get some answers but I’m pretty sure we’ll be back on the TTC wagon. Totally soul destroying. I’m not even sure if I want to keep trying - it’s so consuming.

Congratulations to the recent BFPs; got my fingers crossed for happy and healthy pregnancies.

@notyetamumbuttrying how are you doing? Am I remembering correctly that you’re ready for egg collection? Hope its going well xx

Going to have a massive glass of wine and a super long soak in a hot bath once I know that this pregnancy isn’t going to progress 🛁 🍷 😔

Sending you so much love @VixFromThe6ix. Keep trusting that the progesterone is making a difference and that all you can do is take it one day at a time. It’s so hard 💐

@GuessHowMuch ahh that's heartbreaking! I really hope it's not what you think!
Great memory! Yes it was this morning. All went well, 10 eggs collected and I'll find out tomorrow how many fertilise!
@VixFromThe6ix hope all works out for you too! Must be so stressful 😣

Ah this is breaking my heart to read. I hope your gp gives you clarity on what's happening. Please let us know. I'm still deep inside hoping for a miracle. I think we can all relate how consuming and stressful ttc is. Big hugs to you, love. Whatever news your gp has, take time to absorb but I surely hope that you don't give up. If you get to enjoy that bath and wine, make it a bottle and enjoy every sip.

@notyetamumbuttrying that's really amazing news, fingers crossed for tomorrow

@GuessHowMuch exactly what @VixFromThe6ix said, I'm so sad for you

@VixFromThe6ix I've no symptoms at all, even my sore boobs come and go. You've the progesterone this time around though, and drs are looking after you. I'm also feeling very anxious though, I think you do as that naivety totally goes after a loss!! Take care of yourself, relaxation time, vits, good food etc x

@GuessHowMuch I’m so sorry to read that I know just how it feels my bfp this month didn’t last long atall. And I also want to give up just know I’ll have regrets if I don’t try everything possible.
I do hope tho that the gp gives you positive news and if not we are all here for you whatever the outcome and whatever you choose xx

@VixFromThe6ix try not to worry too much about symptoms. I never had any with my 3 only now so I notice as I’m more aware (and there probably in my head) 😂

Glad the rest of you are all doing well @notyetamumbuttrying that’s a great amount 🤞

Any cycle buddies? I’m cd9 after a 3day heavy af. Flashing okps from cd5 so been dtd every other day. And trying to have faith that the progesterone will work

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 thank you so much! Hope all goes well for you x
@got2be thank you 🙏🏾 just hope the drop off rate isn't too much! Good luck in your fw, hope the progesterone does the trick! 🤞🏾

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I deffo see a clear progression on those tests! Xx

@VixFromThe6ix Oh sweets! I can totally empathise with the FEAR. You already know that at 4-ish weeks the symptoms will be almost imperceptible. And let’s be clear - you’ve had a BFP. THAT is a ‘symptom’! I won’t tell you to have faith but I will tell you that I’m crossing everything for you (and everyone else here) that it’s a sticker! Xx

@GuessHowMuch Sending so much love. Xx

Thank you so much @Geriatric1234 @got2be @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 @notyetamumbuttrying @GuessHowMuch for the support, advice and kind words. You don't even know how much you all lift my spirits. 🙏💕

@VixFromThe6ix
I guess this is what it's like being a mother. You worry each day for your sticky bean. I imagine situations like these and play it out in 1001 diff scenarios. I try to think of how I can solve it but then I realise - all these are outta my control.

You are not smoking, you are not doing drugs. You are trying your best to take care of your sticky bean and there's nothing more you could have done better... as hard as it sounds, you just have to leave things that are beyond your control outside your system.

@VixFromThe6ix
Hi hope your ok , well I feel the same 🙈 but got it into my head that if it doesnt work out , i have my consultant apt on 11th so hopefully would have some progesterone for next time 🤞🏻 have you got any symptoms ? X

@GuessHowMuch
Have you had faint lines for a week? I havent done a test this week because I darent! I did get slightly darker line on sunday but only tiny bit. Just hoping for the best 🙄 fingers crossed all is ok for you x

@VixFromThe6ix I'm sorry you're feeling so nervous and hope you feel more confident soon. If it's any consolation I don't have any classic pregnancy symptoms, and with my first I also didn't until morning sickness kicked in at 8 weeks. I'm sure the progesterone will do the trick for you.

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 that's a definite progression on your frer and ace that you got a positive on the digital! I'm due on today too, so fingers crossed for both of us.

Best of luck @KatRee!!

@GuessHowMuch I'm so sorry to hear this lovely :( I hope you get some answers soon. Be kind to yourself these next few days xx

@notyetamumbuttrying best of luck for the egg retrieval!

@MgW1 glad to hear your birthday was good and the Sunday line was a bit darker. Fingers crossed things continue to progress well.

Oh fuck oh fuck, I'm spotting 😩 my test was pretty strong this morning, with definite progression. Argh.

@VixFromThe6ix I don't "feel pregnant" either. My boobs are a bit sore but nothing out of the ordinary, they seem to hurt every now and then. That's all I have. And the light brown spotting doesn't help at all to ease my mind. But we got that hun! Just think of all the women that didn't find out they were pregnant until they were in their 4th month.

@Noodella18 thanks all went well and 10 eggs collected. 8 fertilised and transfer is booked for Sunday. No more updates tho so I could get there and they tell me that only 4 made it! 😳
That does look a strong test! Have everything crossed for you!!
