Anyone over 35 want a buddy?

OMG Bann that is mad but remember the same thing happened to me a super super faint line the first day my hubby could not even see it. Did you try a digital test that might give you a quick result the clear blue digital is 25miu which is quite sensitive. On total tender hooks for you keep us posted on your results tomorrow. I know that you must be going nuts, I will say a prayer for you tonight hang in there!!!!!!!! xx p.s.

 

[Leeze]

OOOOHH Bann - this sounds exciting! Keeping everything crossed for you. I'm starting to feel like this is quite a lucky thread!!! xx

 

[ttc1st_at_40]

wow Bann!!! what a rollercoaster for ya yesterday huh? fingers crossed ya get some good results today...how wonderful!!!

and Leeze Im with you, this may be a lucky thread...

OK so AF hasnt gotten me yet. Seems my typical LP is 11 days....which isnt exactly super long to begin with, but dont know if ya guys recall but last month for some reason it dipped down to 9 days, which is too short, so had me wondering if that was gonna be something I would have to start worring about... SOOO today is 11DPO for me and the witch hasnt arrived... which is great news!!! yayaya... having some gurgling belly stuff going on... so feels like shes on her way... but I have decided I am testing tomorrow, it willl be 12DPO for me... my friend that I just went to visit in Boston over this past weekend is TTC as well, and we agreed to test tomorrow AM together... ironically we are on the exact same CD... weird huh... perhaps its a good "sign? ? wish me luck!!

Hi ladies. I took 2 tests this morning and both were negative!
I am still holding out hope, or trying to. Apparently false postives are more common than I thought. I read a lot of threads yesterday of others that have gone through the same thing. And others that have had a test line show up and then go away which is not a good sign. Mainly it does not indicate anything but a negative test. Doesn't matter if the line showed up for a few seconds. (I was hoping it was a good sign yesterday.) The doctor is supposed to call me later today with the blood test results and I am bracing myself for hearing it is negative. If it is negative she is bringing me in for a full work up and might refer me to their fertility specialist. So I am looking forward to possibly meeting with a specialist.

I have my fingers crossed for you ttc1st!! Lots of baby dust to you!

When is everyone else testing?

I have to say I have not cried at all. And I think that writing to you guys and sharing everything has really helped me out! I am a very emotional person in general so it is big that I was able to go through the emotional roller coaster yesterday and again this morning without one tear. Thanks you guys!

Sending lots and lots of baby dust your way!

 

[bann1126]

Blood test came back negative.

Aw - Bann - I'm so sorry to hear that. I was keeping everything crossed for you. That feels really unfair! I hope you've got someone there to give you a big hug right now

I think it's good you're getting started on tests though, maybe this will help reassure you that you're doing something positive. How many dpo are you? Is it possible it's still to early this month?

TTC1st - glad AF hasn't got you yet and I'm wishing you lots of luck and baby dust for your testing tomorrow

I'm going to visit my parents this weekend so I probably won't be on here till Monday now so I'm going to wish you all a good weekend. I suggest if AF gets anyone that you deserve to go and do something really lovely to treat yourself, either be pampered, have a lovely meal or go and buy something nice.

I'll be testing on Monday, although it will still be quite early. I can't wait any longer than that though, I'm feeling so impatient! I've no noticeable symptoms so am keeping an open mind about it xx

 

[Irish9yo]

Bann so sorry about that but at least you are moving in the right direction specialists are 100% concentrated on getting you pregnant and nothing else.

TTC1st fingers crossed for you tomorrow keep us posted.

Leeze have a great weekend and best of luck with testing on Monday.

I am off away for the wknd too so wishing you all a really nice weekend - trying not to be impatient for next Thursday - really nervous.

xx

 

[ttc1st_at_40]

Bann-sorry girl…great big huge hugs to you!! I am in agreement with Irish, it is great you are headed in the right direction, with a new OB and the possibility of an appt to go talk to a FS! You have to be so looking forward to that. When will the OB be bringin ya back in ?

Irish- cant wait to hear what the doc has to say Thursday... good luck to ya!!

Leeze-how ya handling a week away from hubby ? when does he get home? and hope you have a great weekend with your parents, and fingers crossed for your Monday testing.

CMum… looks like your up next week for testing too huh? Hows your symptoms


So my blood test on Monday was to test my progesterone to see if I O’d this cycle, and my results was an 11 which means I did O. This AM I am 12DPO still no real AF so thats kinda a good sign....which means I am kinda 1 day late…but...temps dipped a bit down, and a Negative on the HPT. Just one little tiny smear of light brown(sorry if tmi) in the bathroom this am…But its only 10:30 am... really thinking AF will come by this afternoon though. If she doesnt come full force by tomorrow I will test again and if for some reason I dont get my BFP...I really am not going to let it get me down... really...

I have that script of Clomid to take next month, (well for 3 cycles actually) and there are major success rates with that...so since I have a little plan, I think that is what got me staying positive. I am not giving up on this TTC journey just yet... I really dont want to let a BFN bring me down just yet...I have to stay positive and I keep telling myself that...it will happen, it will happen!! And girls, It will happen for ALL of us.

 

[angelcake71]

Hiya
Im 39 and after an e/p in October..I am ready to start ttc again this month.. pretty scared though xx

 

[ttc1st_at_40]

welcome Angel Cakes...

sorry about your e/p.. : ) your in good hands here... this BNB site has been a great way for me to get comfort and advise, hope it works the same for you.

Also girls I am officially out this month... my dear AF is here !! darn it!! I do have chance before Christmas though to get my BFP!!

cant wait to hear from all you girls on how you did over the weekend.

 

[Leeze]

Hi everyone and welcome to angel cakes (sorry to hear about your loss)

I'm just back from my weekend and waiting for my OH to come back (I haven't seen him for a week!!). I've really missed him but actually it was also nice to do my own thing a bit!

Sorry AF got you TTC1st - hopefully next month is your lucky one!

I'm feeling very nervous about testing tomorrow - will let you know how it goes. Am trying to be open-minded about it. Not really had symptoms this month so far apart from a little tightness around where my right ovary is. Still, of course there's a big part of me that is hoping and praying it will be a BFP tomorrow but I think there's a good chance it will be BFN

Baby dust everyone xx

 

[chysantheMUM]

So much for this month being a lucky month eh girls!

TTC1st - sorry to hear that your AF came yesterday, sounds like you're managing to stay positive and you're right, IT WILL happen for all of eventually, we just got to be patient Will you be starting with the clomid now then?

Irish - hope everything goes well for you at your doctors appointment on thursday, keep us posted

Bann - hope everythings ok with you, no doubt its been a pretty stressful week, has AF shown up yet or are you still in with a chance? Have you heard anything more about seeing a fertility specialist or further tests?

Angelcake - Hi and welcome to our little TTC support group Where abouts are you cyclewise, waiting to OV or in the TWW?

Leeze -I agree, we should be treating / pampering ourselves, not just when AF arrives but as often as possible Afterall we are putting ourselves through a lot of stress and anguish on a very regular basis, we're abstaining from things like alcohol etc and continually tracking and analysing every single thing we do and it all takes it toll, so now more than ever its so important that we look after and spoil ourselves because once we have little ones to care of (and we will ) we won't get the chance to pamper ourselves Fingers x'd for your test tomorrow

As for me I am feeling pretty chilled out and patient about everything, perhaps because I've been very busy of late, so my minds been occupied. But I don't feel any compulsion to test at the moment. Tomorrow will be my CD28 and there was a time that I would have already done several tests by this stage but because of my recent habit of late ovulating I'm going to try to leave it until Thurs to do a test, assuming AF doesn't arrive by then of course

Anyway, think I'll go and pamper myself now in an aromatic, bubbly bath, with candles and chocolates

 

[Irish9yo]

Angelcake, sorry bout ur loss and welcome this is a fantastic group!!

TTC1st - sorry ur out this cycle but it all comes in time

Leeze - Best of luck testing tomorrow have everything crossed for you.

CMUM - Sounds like you are chilled best of luck with the testing on Thursday

Bann - hope you are keeping well, what cycle day are you on now?

Anyway girls my news is not good been crying all weekend, started cramping quite bad on Friday and had a bit of bleed Saturday morning was going away for the night with the girls so went (obivously on the dry not a drink in site for me) I was feeling tired all day Saturday. We went for a meal at 7pm I headed back to the hotel afte that at about 10pm was wrecked. The two girls in my room fell in at 4am I woke not feeling good at all went to the loo and my PJ's were covered in blood I have been spotting dark brown/black since. I went to the maternity hop. on Sunday and they did a prelim scan the Dr. said she could see the Sac and the fetal pole but no heartbeat so I was upset but thought I might still be in with a chance. Just back now after my 2nd scan today with a radiographer on the detailed scan - she couldn't see anything except what she thought might be a bleed. She said there was a slim chance that it was a sac but at nearly 6wks this should be clearly visible. Anyway I had bloods done in case of EP so I am waiting to hear back. Totally devastated - have the fertility clinic on Thursday even though now I don't think it will show up any good news but at least I can talk to them and see what they say.

I am wishing yee all baby dust and hoping that I don't have to have another D&C it is such an exhausting process!!!!!!!! will keep you posted. Keep asking WHY ME!!!!!

 

[chysantheMUM]

Oh no Irishyo that is so sad, what a shame, wish I was there to give you a big hug, so sorry to hear this. It sounds similar to what happened to me about 12 year or so ago because I was at the same stage and I did end up having a D&C, so its very possible but lets hope not. I know its hard to do but try to remain positive and do something to spoil yourself, its especially important to look after yourself during this difficult time. xxx

 

[ttc1st_at_40]

oh Irish sorry for the sad news. I am hoping as well you dont have to go through another D&C fingers crossed for ya.

 

[bann1126]

Oh goodness Irish! I am so sorry for the latest news! You are in my thoughts and prayers!!

TTC - sorry AF got you!

Leeze - good luck testing tomorrow!!

CMUM - I wish I had your strength. Good luck on Thursday!

Welcome Angelcake!

I have had a little spotting today. Usually AF comes with full force, no spotting ahead of time. But it is on its way. I feel it! Any moment now! I am looking forward to trying again in December! I have an appointmnet with my OBGYN December 9th and will discuss further options.

Lots of baby dust to everyone!

 

[bann1126]

AF came in full force about an hour after my last post. I am officially out this month.

 

[Leeze]

Hi everyone

BFN for me today and yesterday. I think I'm probably out this month too although it's a bit early still

Irish - that sounds really difficult. I'm sending you big hugs. When I had the m/c in June I was around 5.5 weeks and they told me they couldn't normally detect a heartbeat at that stage anyway. Also I read lots at the time and was told brown/black spotting is apparently old blood and a small percentage of women get it on and off through their pregnancy. It's when it's bright red and more like AF that you need to really worry. I'm keeping everything crossed for you that it works out for you. xxx

 

[bann1126]

Sorry Leeze!!! Keeping my fingers crossed that it is still just a little earlier and you will see a positive later in the week!

Hope you are doing ok Irish! I have been thinking about you a lot!

My new job has been keeping me super busy so I have had to keep my post short. Being busy is good, makes the time go by super fast, but it is so therapeutic writing to you guys! Hopefully once I get fully settled in I will have a few more extra mins to spare.

Take care everyone!...

 

[chysantheMUM]

Arghh.... she got me, about an hour ago, I was actually surprised as well! Don't know why because I spent most of yesterday convinced that she was going to arrive but today was actually feeling more optimistic, then bam... when I was wasn't expecting it The strange thing is I don't feel too down about it and I think all my focus this month on remaining calm and chilled has paid off because I didn't get any PMT at all, in fact I feel great at the moment, nothing like how I felt at the start of last months AF

How you getting on Leeze, has AF arrived yet or are you actually late now
