Trying to conceive at 45

Hi all. Trying to conceive at 45. I know, unlikely 😂. I have 8 children and so desperately would like one
more. Had a second trimester miscarriage at 44, and looking for one more chance! Thought I saw something super faint on this frer this morning - 8DPO. But also think I’m overthinking it and seeing things? Anyway, mostly just looking for support and maybe find others in same position. Good luck to all!

This makes absolutely zero sense.

Seek some sort of counselling/therapy.

Fuck me! Just stop! It's not a career you know!

Miraclemuma03 · 29/03/2026 23:47

Gosh you woman are so rude.

I hope you can have another little one. I cant see a line on the test but its definitely too early.

Overtheatlantic · 29/03/2026 23:57

Terrible idea. You have too many as it is.

dollytea · 29/03/2026 23:58

It’s up to the op, Jesus you lot are mean and rude

JuliettaCaeser · 30/03/2026 00:02

Do you live in a shoe?

AnotherVice · 30/03/2026 06:32

It’s not rude. OP needs to consider how she would care for her other children if her 9th is severely disabled or indeed if she dies.

Jooleshop · 30/03/2026 07:08

Good luck 🤞 to you and keep positive!

Because you've had 8 children the chances of having another are higher than trying for the first time.

I couldn't see a line this time but hopefully in a few days time it will be there!!

It’s a clear negative OP. Sorry for your loss 💐

pinkdelight · 30/03/2026 07:40

Sorry for your loss, and what looks like a negative test. I don't think you'll find others in the same position of having 8 kids and wanting a 9th at age 45. I'd think most 45yo mums of 8 would want a lie down or just to focus on the 8. Even if it does happen, you may desperately want a 10th if the first 8 haven't been enough, so worth getting your head around being happy with your lot or figuring out what else you need apart from another DC to ease that desperation. If it's issues from the miscarriage, which are understandable, have you counselling?

The exact same picture was used by another account last night saying ttc first at 35. FFS

There are some right weirdos out there!… who on earth gets kicks from fake posts on a parenting website 😅

Wind up?

RS1987 · 30/03/2026 08:24

Looks negative to me but good luck.
sorry for your loss.
have you considered what happens if you want just one more after 9,10,11? You’re in a bit of a danger zone now being 45. Have you had counselling after your loss?

Yeh rage bait or something

365RubyRed · 30/03/2026 08:27

If this is a joke, then it’s pretty sad. Lots of women on here are genuinely hoping for a successful pregnancy after 40.

Holdonforsummer · 30/03/2026 08:48

Haha, good one. I think this was someone drunk having a laugh.

ToKittyornottoKitty · 30/03/2026 11:05

Or she created another account and lowered her age and kid number after horrible comments on this thread. Impossible to tell, but annoying either way. Especially for a clearly negative test
