Trying to conceive over 40 part 4

[October1979]

Hi girls here is a new thread as we have nearly reached the 1000 limit x

Af came for me cd 2 😩

@ladybranstonpickle definitely a line!! Congratulations!!! Have you tested again? ❤️

so I’m now 4dp5dt …. Lots of cramping and twinges but they could mean either a positive, a negative or trapped wind 🤣🤣 so I’m trying not to get hung up on it!
6 days until test day! I actually think I’m going to hold out… It’s so special being PUPO that I just don’t want it to end! So I’d almost rather not test and never know if it hasn’t worked 🫣🫣
I’m feeling pretty calm and positive on the whole…. Just have occasional moments of gloom 😵‍💫

how are you all? Big love xxx ❤️❤️❤️

cd 3 af showed on time on to July x

Hello please can I join ?

im ttc #3 and really really having no luck. Ds 1 was conceived after 5 years of treatment and failed ivf cycles and then fell naturally. Tried for dc2 from when he was 8 months old and that took 15 months.

I have PCOS, endometriosis and adenomyosis.

We started trying for dc3 nov 2021 . Absolutely nothing happened till feb 2023 when I had an ectopic pregnancy. This week I’ve just had a chemical pregnancy. So 19 months of trying and nothing except 2 losses.

We have 2 embryos left in storage so I’m wondering if I just forget trying naturally and save up for a FET cycle ? Really really fed up and down about it all today

@mangomeringue hello and welcome I’m sorry your having a hard time your in the right place sorry about your losses to I really don’t have any advice only go with what your heart tells you but on the other hand if you have 2 embryos I’d save up and do that but I’d also give yourself a little more time to try naturally stress is a big factor in TTC believe me I know .

I have 3 beautiful daughters from a previous relationship I’ve been with my new husband for 19 yrs we practically started ttc straight away I did get pregnant but lost baby at 5 wks then 3 yrs later got pregnant again lost that one at 8 wks after seeing heart beat at 7 wks and 3 yrs later pregnant again lost that one I was 11 wks baby passed at 9 wks after seeing a Herat beat at 8 wks there’s no reason for my losses I’ve had multiple cp in 13 yrs of trying for a successful pregnancy I’m 51 now yes I’m older but I’m still ovulating still getting my monthly’s on time so I’m praying for a miracle.

I wish you all the best on your journey and hope it happens soon for you good luck lovely x

😩😩😩 ok… the wait is killing me!!
Official test day is Friday and I’ve made sure not to have a set in the house so that I didn’t cave early…
but the POAS urge became too strong so I randomly did an LH test - I’ve read that they can sometime pick up pregnancy as the molecular structure of LH and HCG are very similar 🫣
I got 2 lines!!! Very clear!
Now I’ve totally messed my head up 😵‍💫😵‍💫
it was one of the easy@home tests which just test for LH (some others test for oestrogen too) but I just don’t know if they’d be picking up my meds 😩😩
such an idiot!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Waaaa i'm trying to go till friday as well and you're tempting me to test. I onlt have the ebay cheapies in as well

OMG @Kelb79!! It’s understandable as the wait is unbearable! What will you do now? I’d have to get some FRER pronto as I couldn’t cope with the riddle. How many DPT are you? Sending love x

I don't know where i am in my cycle coz i had a weird early period last month woth just spotting but i tested loads. All negative. This month i felt ovulation pains and had cm but not ehen my app said i sould. So currently no idea where i am.

😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
guys…… am I imaging things???!!! Can you see it?????? I’m freaking out!!!!

@Kelb79 IT'S THERE!!!! gentle (but big!!) congratulations, looks like you're on your way!!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

@Kelb79 absolutely! That's a good line. Congratulations!

@Kelb79 That’s a line!!!!! Yaaaaay! Big congratulations to you. I’m delighted for you and so happy to see this! ❤️🎉

@mommabear64 Sorry it’s so confusing for you just now. How long ago were the ovulation pains and cm? Just wondering if that could give you a possible date to look for AF or testing? Good luck x

OMG massive congratulations @Kelb79 I am in tears reading this. I'm delighted for you. Hope it all goes well - massive hugs xxxx

So i had cm on friday so going by that would be 5dpo now but i still have very watery cm when its suppose to dry up right? Hoping this is a good sign

@mommabear64 From my own experience, my CM after ovulation went thicker then dried up to practically nothing just before AF arrived. So still having some sounds good to me!

I have everything crossed for you @Kelb79 . Tentative congrats xx

Thanks so much everyone!! I’m in total shock!! I didn’t dare imagine that the first transfer might work ❤️❤️❤️ obviously now terrified it’ll be a chemical or ill
miscarry again but I’m gonna take as much joy as I can in every minute of this journey going well so for now I’m over the moon with my 2 lines ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳😁😁😁😁😁😁

@Kelb79 We’re all over the moon with you!! I’m going to be a total hypocrite now and tell you to enjoy it and don’t worry about anything…but I’ve been a total stressbucket through mine so far! But what I mean is that I wish I could relax so I’m really hoping you can 😘😘 Big fat congratulations 🎉

OMG @Kelb79 thats fantastic! Such lovely news!!

Brown discharge this evening 😩😩

@Kelb79 Try not to panic, I had brown discharge on evening of 9 and morning of 10 dp5dt. I was heartbroken and thought it was all over, but it wasn’t x

I had brown discharge with pregnancy number 3 and he’s 13 now and has to be nagged to have a shower!

I’ve been soooo stressed with it tonight! OH sent me home from work because he could tell I wasn’t doing good (I haven’t told him about either the test or the spotting yet - no point messing his head up too!! 🙄)
I’ve basically completed google - totally stupid! I know you can search and find every possible outcome 🙄
got some more tests so I guess I’ll just see what my lines are doing in the morning 🤷🏼‍♀️
hoping and praying 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
