TWW at 40 yrs old

[poppymango]

A few days into my two week wait now, period due around 2nd of March.

Trying not to get too excited as I'll soon be 40 and I know my chances are lower - nevertheless, I found myself downloading a pregnancy tracking app this morning and looking at all the visuals of what the baby would look like at various stages 🙃

Anyone else out there want to wait with me? Crossing fingers and toes for my November baby!!

It definitely looks positive to me 🤞🤞🤞

@Alwaysroomforanotherdoghave you tested again? That one definitely looks positive to me!

I’ve had a bit of a rubbish day at work. One of my colleagues is pregnant and she was discussing scans and that you only get 2 on the NHS. She asked me how many scans I’d had and I just froze. My thoughts just went back to being told at the 20 week scan that baby had a heart problem and then having several scans with the consultant after that before getting the devastating news that we needed to make a decision regarding terminating. I managed to hold it together and talk about the scans I had with my first son and then had to excuse myself so that I could go and cry in the toilets.

Currently CD34 but I think I only ovulated on CD28 so too soon to test. I also have period type cramps so highly suspect AF is due very soon.

How is everyone else doing?

Hi yes I did, I did a first response and a clearblue. At my 20 week scan i was told my boy had no heartbeat so I know how scans make you feel xx sending love x

@Alwaysroomforanotherdoghuge congratulations!!

So sorry for your previous loss. I don’t think it ever gets easier. Wishing you the best of luck with your pregnancy

Thank you
fingers crossed for you x

Checking in to say I hope everyone is well, congratulations to those of you that have got your bfp and sending love to those of you that are going through loss 🤍

im CD 10 right now… its looking very likely that im going to ovulate very soon. Its only month three for me but this will be very early so im not sure what to think!

Massive congratulations to the recent BFP. Wishing you both lots of sticky baby dust x

I’m currently CD21 and my partner and I have decided to put trying on hold now. Three losses in four months has hit me harder than I thought and I haven’t processed it. Also we’re about to put our house on the market.

So we’ll see what happens with this cycle (will be utter Sod’s Law if it worked and sticked!), and if BFN I’m going to go back on weight loss injections and we’ll get the house move over and done with. All the people interaction with it is giving me autistic burnout, so I think it’s the best decision despite turning 41 in January.

10DPO here and I tested, negative.

I’ve had cramping for about 4-5 days now but no AF. Also due to ovulating later than usual currently on CD38. I guess I’m not out until AF is here but not feeling confident.

look after yourself @EmPeEfits a rough journey

Hi all 👋🏼 I’ve recently found this app and love seeing people in similar situations, I’m 41 and have been tic for a year now, we have 2 cycles to conceive naturally before moving across to have 1 try at ivf, I have 2 older children with a previous partner and thought it would be a quick process this time round but have quickly been proven wrong!
