Trying to Conceive over 40 part 3

[October1979]

Here is a new thread for us all. As it will run out at 1000 comments

@TraceyTarotReader I'm really hoping I wake up tomorrow and feel a bit better, this is driving me crazy! Viral things are horrible because it's just a waiting game! Another thing I read said that there's some evidence that says it is possible to get pregnant any time of the month but I'm not so sure about that. Some people definitely ovulate and get pregnant early though

@99pctpractice it makes total sense and I like it! Like you say it's different with surrogacy or adoption, I like it this way.

@Marvellouslymadmum inhope you do feel better viral infections always linger bit like covid I woke up to a thick head this morning like my bed is heavy and generally ache all over my ears feel like I have water in them hate that feeling cause it knocks you off balance.

yeah I read people who ovulated early get pregnant and everything is fine I have managed to bd 2 times since my opk turned positive on cd 8 it’s still high now so I’m wondering if it’s not true I normally have a dark positive opk but have been close to positive this month I will have to do another one and keep checking I also haven’t had any or very little cm this month it’s just werid how our body’s change from month to month .

so where are you in your cycle now I’m cd 12 x

@TraceyTarotReader feeling a little better but like you say I've a feeling this will linger! I am cd27 today but my ovulation has been right off and late only a few days ago so it'll be a long 'month' I can't even track my temp properly with this stupid illness so I'm just going on opk but got some good positives. Think I'm 3dpo x

@Marvellouslymadmum glad ya feeling better same with me I thought I’d ovulated early seen as I had a positive opk on cd 10 there’s no sign saying so on my ff chart I haven’t even bd that much cause of me and dh have been feeling ill so I’m not hopefull this month and I’m still getting highs on opks but we will see x

@TraceyTarotReader I'm not hopeful either, same for us with the bd, who knows how long this cycle will actually end up! 🙄

@99pctpractice @October1979 @Kelb79 how are you all doing? Xx

@Marvellouslymadmum im totally with you on this my chart still says no ovulation but I have a feeling it’s wrong this month and I have ovulated or at least tried to it’s one of them isn’t it we will see x

@TraceyTarotReader yes mine is confused, I use a few different ones as I find some more reliable than others for different things. Only one has decided I've ovulated based on opk but as my temps are all over the place with being ill I can't really confirm it! I did get a very high opk though so hopefully ovulation has happened! I'm on cd30 as it is 🙄 x

@Marvellouslymadmum whoxh other ones do you use I had 3 high temps leading up to xx 10 to 12 that’s when I thought oh I’ll get my lines in a couple of days but no then on cd 14 I randomly did another opk and and it was positive then my temps started to be low I have no clue this month I have had a cold but it’s proper thrown me off this cycle I’ll just have to keep bd if I have the energy lol I’ll attach my chart so you can see x

Hey lovelies! 😘😘

oh bless you both @Marvellouslymadmum and @TraceyTarotReader !! Trying to figure out OV is the biggest headache! I just couldn’t be bothered with it this month and guessed that it would just return to my pre-IVF routine but that’s probably unlikely so I expect I’m way off!! 🤣
app has me at 11DPO and I’ve woke up with migrainey feels - serious nausea!
can’t help but get hopes up but I had a large glass of wine last night and I’ve hardly drank for the longest time so it’s most likely that 🙄🤣

OH has been struggling massively with the DE option so we’re stuck in limbo right now which I hate!! He’s a massive over thinker and he’s really got himself in a hole! We’ve seen our fertility consultant and had a good chat about it all, we’re trying to get counselling organised but they’re not getting back to us. It’s so frustrating- I’ve made my decision and just want to get the hell on with it now!!! 😫😫

literally just getting over this virus, pretty sure it’s been covid 😐 how are you now @Marvellouslymadmum ? Hope you’re feeling better 🙏🏼❤️ xX

@Kelb79 its really doing my head in I did a hpt just out of curiosity and got a vvfl I’m not thinking anything of it as I quite often have lines on hpt but not all the time of this can even actually happen to get a positive on be 17 I’m mean I’d have had to have ovulated on cd 10 or before I’ll pay it in a bit I suppose it can happen my sister got pregnant just as her period ended but I’m not that lucky this line came up in the time frame as you can see the sue hasnt settled yet but then it dries like this it one mad rollercoaster x

as you can see it dries to a shadow

@TraceyTarotReader I use Femometer, FF, glow and premom which I find is best for reading opk's my temps have been low when they shouldn't be too! Something odd going on 😂😂 I'd deffo take another test in a day or so and see what it says!

@Kelb79 im feeling better head cold wise but still have the chesty cough, my oh is the same with the over thinking I'm hoping I can steamroller him when I comes time 😂 I have to be the decision maker with most things or he just doesn't do it!! I spoke to him about donor again yesterday though and he was nodding along and agreeing so seems to be ok with it 🤷🏼‍♀️ I hope you get your oh on board.

I've just been for a tv scan to check the lining of my womb and ovaries again (looking for signs of endo) and they still couldn't see my elusive ovaries BUT the lady scanning asked me when my LMP was and I said I'm Cd30, she said oh due now then? I said no I'm only 7 days past ovulation, so she asked how I knew and I said positive opk and temps (even though my temps are a bit odd this month) and she said oh you do that doesn't mean anything, you can ovulate at any time even during a period - I was gobsmacked, I've researched and researched all this stuff and I know that the Lp should be roughly the same every month and shouldn't change which I tried to explain and she just said, no it changes so that's weird that's what you've read! Well either everyone in mn and the internet is wrong or my scanner didn't have a scooby! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Marvellouslymadmum oh I use glow and ff just reading through your comment do you think there’s fluid round your ovaries as to why they Carnt see them but then they would see the fluid werid that ….. the woman scanning you made me think did I ovulate during my period as to why I got that vvfp today my af also lasted a little longer this month I still had spotting on cd 10 didn’t note it it’s a weird month for us but I’m hoping we get something out of this … it’s nice to know your partner is on board with your decision.

all this ttc is so hard and too much to
think about and all the googling gets to ya after a while x

@TraceyTarotReader they always say it's like foggy in there, too much gas! Apparently 🙈

You can ovulate during your period but that's because ov is early the luteal phase after ovulation will always be about the same amount of time each month. I know I'm correct with that as I've read many many doctors articles and been on these threads a good while now! The scanner was just a bit muddled I think. Funnily enough I also had spotting a long time after af this month! Up until about cd13/14 and I never usually get that, how odd x

@Marvellouslymadmum that’s weird is both having a weird month maybe something good will come of it .

im wondering if I did ovulate early and I’m glad you clarified that you actually can I only research symptoms it drives me mad I have health anxiety and should keep off google but I Carnt help myself lol .. I’m pretty sure this happened to my daughter as soon as she finished her af she was pregnant. I hate the waiting .

temp went up a bit this morning but when I put a few fake temps in it still shows no ovulation I really feel I have ovulated.

inwill test again in a couple of days I’ve orderd some cheapy ones will keep up up dated lol x

@TraceyTarotReader my partner has health anxiety too, so I know how hard it is, he refuses to go on google though and tries to ban me from it 😂 yes keep me updated, no idea what's going on with me really 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Marvellouslymadmum its awful health anxiety I think I have everything when I Google my husband goes mad at me lol I will keep you updated I’ve no idea what’s going on with me either x

@October1979 this lovely to see I’m so glad all is well you are one lucky lady so blessed x

Awww Hello babies! 👋

@October1979 this is wonderful to see! ❤️ How are you feeling?

@YellowLoafers I'm feeling ok. Much better now than I was a few weeks ago. The sickness seems to be getting better and not quite as tired xxx

Thank you @TraceyTarotReader xx

That's amazing @October1979 !

Given you've got this far are the docs talking positively about keeping three? It feels like a little miracle

@WonderWoop it's still high risk particularly with the identical twins. But we are goi g with it as long as there are no problems. Just taking it a week at a time and. Hoping for the best xxx

Aaah @October1979 that's wonderful! They all look like they're very comfortable in there :o) so delighted for you - hopefully it's all uphill from here!!

I have less good news - started bleeding a lot last night and think this is the end. Getting a scan this morning and will know more then, but I have had a lot of cramping so not optimistic...feeling sad and angry and frustrated that this has to be so hard for us.

@99pctpractice praying for you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 bleeding is so horribly terrifying but it can be ok, especially with IVF pregnancies. I’ve got everything crossed 🤞🏼 I so hope this is all ok for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@October1979 beautiful scan and amazing news!! You must be over the moon! ❤️❤️❤️

I got AF today so no go this month. Also got a counselling appointment for next week so moving forward a little. I’m so ready to just go for it now, just need OH on the same page! 🙄
