35yrs + and trying ✨🫶🏼

[SCK2024]

I am now 37 and have one beautiful 10yrs old boy, my partner has 2 boys 9 & 13yrs.

I bought the Hertility kit online, not yet opened it… I was going to give this cycle my last attempt before investigating 🙃

We got pregnant a year ago but due to personal circumstances we both decided to not go ahead, this I carry so much guilt over 🪃

Now we are both ready and settled in our careers and home but now it has taken nearly 6/7cycles.

today I got my 1st + ovulation test, so beginning our January TWW.

what is everyone else’s story 🌟

Thank you, lovely. Thank you for listening. I really hope this is a sticky bean for you

Phone completely freaked out and banned me from Mumsnet for like a month! Finally back now - month 3 of TTC and I’m 9 dpo: tested this morning with an ovum one and a cheapy. I think I can see something on both?? Thoughts (AI thinks there’s a line) (top cheapy is water just to try to work out if I have line eyes)

I can see the lines on both tests ☺️

Thanks @Mismatc- these might be better photos! I think they’re pink so fingers crossed not evaps!

Girls I’m home!

Finally tested!

It was definitely IB!! but I have to say … it was more than I had when I had my son! 😅🥰

Yay @SCK2024congrats

Amazing news, huge congratulations. I’m on CD1 again and feeling a bit better. Looking forward to sperm analysis results next week and making a plan after that

Sorry I missed this… I definitely see something too! Any new news today? Xx

have you had a hycosy done? I’d request one x

I think that you can only get a hycosy once you’ve had the referral to the fertility clinic. That was the case with us anyway. The GPs could only refer for the Day 4/21 tests, SA and ultrasound.

@SCK2024sorry only just saw this - this was yesterday (11dpo) - awake now, 12dpo but trying to wait until 6.30am to test

Definite progression there!

After SA I think would come private consultation with a fertility specialist and private hycosy/ treatment. I think once we know the SA we will have a sit down and decide what we are prepared to do fertility investigation and treatment-wise at the moment. If his SA is normal maybe we will give it a few more months, if it is abnormal we may get started asap. I’m not getting any younger 😅

Would you enquire about a referral? Sorry I can’t keep up with everybody’s previous messages 😅
How old are you? I’m 38 and was panicking before now too xx

You are an early bird!!! 5am!! 😄

All is looking well!! Definitely some good line progression there! 🤞🏼✨

Thanks @Mismatc!

I have insomnia this time around seemingly…waking a lot to pee and this morning I woke at 5am 🙄

Sorry that was for @SCK2024

I keep weeing too!!
waking up early as well 😅
Loss of appetite, had mild cramps last night, good today.

Wishing you the most luck ✨

This was mine at 11dpo, very similar to mine, if not darker! 🤞🏼X

11dpo

Thanks @SCK2024im 12dpo today. Think it’s looking ok? Trying to get myself to eat healthy food even though like you i’m not hungry.

Looking great i think @rainycoldboo, congratulations!

Thank you @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate

Yeh yours is much darker than my 12dpo 🤞🏼
keep positive! ❤️

So pleased for you!!! How are you feeling?

Have been watching post for the last month. I'm just recently 43 & DH is 39 Have been trying for 4 years. We have undergone lots of tests privately this year as NHS was not getting us any where. I had hycosy & all was good but DH SA came back with low morphology & very low motility which was a shock as he has 2 kids from a previous relationship in his 20s so on his results ivf was recommended. Just on a bit of an extra health kick before we make decision to proceed or not. As its now or never for us

@MJDJAjnr keep positive I’ve read posts with similar results to yours and miracles have happened regardless of the mobility and mortality it only needs that one swimmer! Fingers crossed for you both 🫶🏼

I am 6 weeks today, no symptoms really, ever so slightly nauseas not majorly.
Sleep isn’t the best I keep waking up really early regardless of feeling exhausted!
