April 2020 testing thread

Congrats to all the BFPs, and sorry to the BFNs.

I'm 9 dpo today and BFN for me. I had a positive last month but it ended as a chemical. I'm pretty sure I'm out this month. Good luck to everyone else!
 
I sure hope ure sore boobs are a sign. Haha I've tested at 7dpo more than a few times lol so ure not the only one Haha I'm a pee on a stick addict lol.
I cudnt see a line on it hon. I though I may of see a shadow on the Frer but I think by now I'd I was it wud of been a blazing positive.
My cm has dried up so I'm thinking AF is just around the corner.
I love it that theres alot of older ladies ttc and pregnant on here.
<3

I’m probably dreaming that I stand a chance of a BFP at my age. When you look up the stats it’s pretty much impossible and even if you do it usually ends in miscarriage due to 90% of eggs being no good by now. Let’s just say I would regret it if I didn’t at least try and I’m praying for a last miracle (which is probably selfish having already gotten 4 healthy children)
I’m sorry that your AF is probably nearly here but hey don’t give up!
 
Now I'm even more confused. Last night had the faintest faintest blood and cervix was high and soft when I checked in the shower. Now I'm 14dpo, FMU, did a FRER and not even an indent line. Did a clearblue digital and it said PREGNANT. Freaked out and did a Walmart 88c, and no line. Confused, did another clearblue digital and it said NOT PREGNANT.

I'll see if the aunt visits today, and will then know for sure, but what's going on? The other negatives makes me think the first CB Digital was a false positive, but I read those are rare.

Update: the aunt was knocking on the door this morning and wouldn't leave when I told her we can't have visitors due to the coronavirus. She's still pushing her way through the door. All jokes aside, see you all next month! Best of luck to everyone ttc, and thanks for the support!
 
Sorry to hear that Aleen..wishing you much luck for next cycle.

I tested today at 8 DPO and BFN - early but always disappointing.

I don't think I'll test until 13dpo next month.. even though I'm excited and anxious, I don't want any more false positives! Fingers crossed for you!!

Very early days yet hon. So ure not out untill AF shows. Good luck hon hoping that BFN turns into a BFP in the next few days.

Oh hon ure not selfish at all. It's such a wonderful blessing and theres nothing selfish about wanting another baby. I really hope it does happen for you. I did a post a while ago now I think it was in the ttc thread. I cant remember now but It was titled 'how old is to old' and I had so many comments. And a few a them were ladies well into there 40s. One lady is 46 and she is pregnant she must be about 20 odd weeks now.. There was another lady that was 45 and a couple that were 43. It was hearing back from so many older mummies to be.
When I spoke to a midwife about pregnancy in ure 40s and what the statistics say and she basically said that so many womon these days are having babies in there late 30s and into there mid 40s. Dont u give up hope hon.
I'm from the UK and the largest family here are The Radfords and Sue has just given birth to baby number 22 (yes really lol) and she is 45. It does happen. My ainnty had my cousin at 42. Dont u give up that hope hon. Hoping and praying u get the shock or ure life and get that blazing BFP.
The Misscarige rate does go up that worries me to. I keep telling myself that I'm gonna try and not worry next time and try to enjoy each part of it but I know I'll be a anxious mess.
I am rooting for you Dee.

Hi hon I'm so sorry and I'm keeping it all crossed for this new cycle. Praying May brings all of you ladies ure BFP.

Sorry @Aleen fx for next month!

Hopefully you'll get a positive @Deethehippy

Afm I'm officially 1dpo! At least I can spend the next week looking forward to testing again. Lol
Wishing u the best of luck hon. Hopfully this is the month for you. Rooting for for you to.
Keeping my fingers toes arms legs and everything i can cross crossed for all u lovely ladies.

Latest on me. I'm 16dpo today cycle day 29 been awake all night in pain and think AF has arrived.
My last cycle was only 24 days but I think it must of been the mini pill messing with my hormones or something because I only stopped taking it in feb. Never been on the mini pill b4 so I'm not sure how long it takes to get out of ure system.
Wierd because b4 my son i had the implant for 6 years and my cycles returned as soon as I had it removed.
The mini pill may be a bit different tho.

Aww thank you so much Sugar, you are very kind. I go from being positive and thinking ‘you are only as old as you feel’ to thinking to myself to stop being ridiculous lol. I love Sue Radford, I follow their blogs, such a nice family and I love how fabulous she looks within days of giving birth.. a true inspiration to me. Do you mind me asking how old you are? I was 46 in February and this is our 9th cycle really trying. I have definitely felt different this month with sore boobs and some twinges in my tummy but doesn’t necessarily mean anything because I often dream up symptoms lol I’m 9 dpo today so will test later.
I’m so sorry about your pains and AF, we as women have to go through it don’t we. Hope AF doesn’t treat you too badly once she gets going.
 
Stark white BFN for me at 11dpo. How is everyone holding up in the quarantine?
 
AF is in full swing now so definitely cycle day 1.
I love the Radfords as well. Sue looks so good doesnt she. She looks glowing. There an inspirational family.
I turned 40 in December hon so I'll be 41 this coming december.
Womon still get pregnant at 46 and older. At my hospital the oldest lady to get pregnant naturally and give birth was 48. It really does happen hon.
Hon can I ask a question about temping. You know you normoly have to add the .5 when taking ure temp orally. Do u still add the .5 when doing ure bbt? I've been adding it still but I'm not sure if ure supposed to with bbt. I know u have to when checking ure regular temp.

I'm sorry but I don't do temping Sugar...It's something I've considered but I'm a light sleeper so not sure how accurate it'd be for me. I'm sure some of the other ladies might know though....

Horrible AF..I know how disheartening it is when she arrives but try to see it as a fresh start and 'cleanse' and a step closer to your goal :)

I tested several times today (9DPO) using the strip tests and not even a hint of a line..I don't temp like I said so ovulation is only judged by my body signs (I usually get a headache and sore boobs after) but I could be out by 24-48 hours.

With my twins I had a good BFP at 10dpo but can't remember if I tested before this..I expect I did though because I am a POAS addict lol Maybe I got a BFP at 10dpo because it was twins ??? I have no idea but tomorrow could be judgement day. I read that late implantations are not so likely to do well anyway :/

Take care
 
Good luck Butters..11dpo can still sometimes be too early

Thank you! I just tested again and I thought I saw something a little before the 10 minute mark (IC, instructions say toss at 10 min), but I'm not sure if it's an evap or not. I guess I'll just keep my FX, but I'm not counting a positive yet. Here's the pic, just to compare for tomorrow.

I can see that for sure...I think this could be your BFP! Do you have any ‘symptoms’? Can’t wait to see tomorrow’s.

I don't know, I don't want to be too hopeful. My last pregnancy, the symptoms didn't start until the day after I had a very dark positive. But I hadn't tested prior to that. He's 11 now. I'll post updates tomorrow morning!
 
I see it butters fx it gets darker!!

Sorry the witch came sugger, it's always so disappointing. I hope next month is your month!
