I've just turned 42, have small kids already but thought I'd been going through the peri menopause as my cycles were all over the place. One night recently, my husband and I woke up in the middle of the night and started having sex. We were both half asleep and when we 'woke up', we stopped.
3 days later I got ovulation pains but I didn't think anything of it, as I've been getting weird aches and pains for the past 12 months, alongside my new weird perimenopausal cycles.
Around 6 days after the ovulation pain, I got weird stretching, pulling feelings in my waist and all manner of strange poking feelings in abdomen. I suspected that I was possibly implanting.
Today, two days later at 8dpo, I took a test. I have 3 other children and got a bfp very early with them so assumed that if I had implanted 2 days ago, I'd see something.
With a 2 hour hold, I peed on the test. The window seemed like there was some kind of weird gel or moisture inside. The mositure on the inside of the window disapated and it seemed negarive, so I discarded it. 10 minutes later, I had another look and there was another faint line.
I went straight over to the shop and bought a two pack of early prediction tests. I dipped it in a sample but it was from a 30 minute hold, which is useless at 8dpo. To the naked eye, it's negative but I can see what looks like the faintest, faintest, silvery line.
I cannot wait until the morning and need to repeat the test tonight. I know you will all tell me to, but I can't.
My husband does not want any more children but I've always been open to it. Some logistical issues to worry about, and my toddler has just started sleeping through the night, we just got a new car, we were planning a big holiday next year etc. It's just a lot to get my head around if I am.
If I thought DH would be on board I'd be very excited, but I don't think he would be too happy.
Can somebody just hang out with me until I find out for sure?
