16 dpo too scared to test

[Fairylou123123]

Hi all, I'm 39 years old and have been trying to conceive for the past 16 months. My cycle is normally 28 days although the last 2 cycles have been 27 days. I'm now on day 30. I'm so scared to test. I always test each month and it's heartbreaking seeing all the negatives. I would really love a baby with my partner. I'm hoping this month might be our month but I just can't bring myself to go buy a test.

Do it OP. otherwise you’ll just torture yourself xx

I've decided to go buy a test in the morning. I have 2 children from a previous relationship both conceived the 1st month but now have a new partner and this would be his first. I had placenta left in me when I had my c section 11 years ago. I had to have it removed and I'm worried they damaged me in the process or I have scar tissue and this is causing me to take longer to conceive along with my age. If the test is negative tomorrow then I think I will go for some fertility tests

Best of luck!

Thank you xx

Good luck OP! I have everything crossed for you! Update us if you feel up to it x

Thank you. I didn't test in the end. I have decided to wait until Tuesday when I will be a week late. I just can't face the negative test

Just remember if you test negative or AF arrives, it's not a failure on your part.

And if you haven't already, definitely consider expert advice for fertility support.

I will be going to the shops next to buy a test. Still no af and I will be a week late tomorrow. I will send a message on here later tonight to update the result

Good luck op

Thinking of you OP 🤞

Fingers crossed op!

Hi all, I took the test and it's BFN 😪

So sorry to hear that OP, I can imagine you'd have been feeling optimistic 😞 be super kind to yourself this evening xx

I'm sorry OP 😢

Thank you for the kind messages. I was feeling hopeful this time 😪 Going to go for private fertility tests in the new year
