Hello all, hoping for some fertility friends and some possible answers. My story is i am a young 43 years with new partner of ten years. He is super dad to my daughter now 12 from previous marriage, however, he does not have child of his own and I adore this man. We have been trying for at leat 3 years with no joy. I am usually 28-31 day cycle and have horrendous periods, heavy etc. So this month I feel we have 'done what we needed at right times' using ov strips and in theory should have done everything again to get pregnant.... roll on day 28/39/30 had slight brown discharge followed by very light bleeding. And no pain at all really or very minimal. Completely against my pattern blood tests etc reveal hormone levels satisfactory... my question despite negative test today......am I pregnant finally???? Love, support and friendship needed as tearing me apart but pretending okay xxxx lots of love to you all xxx

I guess only the next few days of testing will tell. If you imagine that the spotting is caused by implantation, then the negative test could be that it’s simply too soon after implantation to be showing hcg. I hope so 🤞 the timing certainly seems good.
