July testers? Who is testing with me?

[Sophie2015]

Hi ladies. I'd like to join. I'll be testing July 13 (12 dpiui). I'm also on progesterone and have had super swollen sore breasts but I think it's just the p4. Dying to test but I've never gotten a positive before 12 dpo so holding out. I'm 43. We've been trying since 2013. Really ready to be successfully pregnant as I know you all are.
Thanks for letting me wait with you.

Kaiecee- I hope you are just having early spotting and it's not the witch!!

Lilchik- Do you have any symptoms from your progesterone?

Welcome Sophie! I don't have any wild symptoms being on progesterone. The breasts are swollen but nothing major.
I tested this morning - BFN but I guess I'm not out until af is here. Have pms like symptoms since yesterday, I don't know what to think, very disheartening...

My sore breasts are almost completely gone today. 10 dpo. I think I'm out. Really disappointed.

 

[Sophie2015]

Just took a test. Very faint BFP. But I've been here before. Time will tell. Not overly excited yet.

My fingers AND toes are crossed for you Sophie!

 

[Lilchik]

It's very hard for all of us ttcers to stay strong and be positive all the time but most beautiful things happen when you least expect them, don't give up too soon, you're not out until af shows. Very excited for you Sophie!

I'll test again in a day if af doesn't show up. Based on my opk, i'm 14dpo today but I could be off a day or two as i had positive opks a few days in a row.

 

[Sophie2015]

Can you even see this faint line?!

 

[WishnandHopn]

I can see it, which is saying something because I can't usually see the faint lines that others can see. I hope it darkens up for you in the next couple of days!

That's so funny because I usually can't see them either. Hopefully it'll darken but if not I know how to miscarry and be disappointed.

 

[Lilchik]

Congrats Sophie! It's definitely there, I can see it! I'm also bad at seeing very faint lines but this one I can see. Good luck and God bless!

 

[Kaiecee]

Congrats Sophie it's definitely a step towards a

Congrats sophie very exciting! It is funny how when you least expects it it happens.

I see the line as well!

 

[Sophie2015]

Darker today. But I've been here before. At 43, until I hit 2nd tri I refuse to get too excited. But at least it's darker right.

 

[WishnandHopn]

That does look darker...sending you 'baby glue'!

Lol! I need baby super glue 😜

 

[Lilchik]

Sophie - that's awesome! We are all rooting for this bean to stick!

Afm, my pms-like symptoms lasted for 2 days and are now gone, no af, cd31 today. I guess I need to test again. My last Clomid cycle I had absolutely zero pms sysmptoms, af just showed-up. Wondering what's going on this time....

And I'm rooting for all of you guys. Nothing I'd love more than to take you all with me to the First Tri boards.

 

[Kaiecee]

Congrats on the darker lines

 

[Lilchik]

AF made her appearance, just as expected, cd1 for me here.

Well, it's a new cycle which means a new chance. Don't know yet what my doc will instruct me to do this time. I have a feeling he'll tell me to take a break from Clomid for a few months, will talk to him hopefully today.
However, I just know that with each unsuccessful attempt to conceive we are getting closer to the time when it will actually happen. God please hear our prayers! Help us keep our hope up.

 

[WishnandHopn]

So sorry the witch got you Lilchik! It's so tough, but stay hopeful!

I keep telling myself that one day I will hold my baby in my arms and all the disappointment will have been worth it.

 

[Lilchik]

WishnandHopn - thank you for your support. Truly appreciate it, every bit helps.

I like your thinking and dedication, that is exactly what keeps me going - knowing that one day it will happen and will be that much more precious because of everything we had to go thru to get there. We won't take our children for granted, as many couples do, and will cherish every moment.

Good luck to you too!

Lilchik- I'm so sorry. I hope I can be an inspiration to you. I'm almost 44. I've lost 4 babies in less than 3 years. But I won't quit or give up hope. My RE says I have a 1-3% chance of even conceiving over 40. To which I respond "someone has to be that 1-3% so why not me". And while I don't yet have a baby I will because I'm faithful and God hears my heart. I've done the "impossible" 5 times now since turning 41. And I believe God will bless me with a healthy baby in His time. Grieve this loss, stay faithful, positive, and patient. Try to see why you are being made to wait. I know it's so much harder done than said. I am a better person having lost 4 babies and in a very strange way thankful for it.
I hope I don't sound too preachy or "Pollyana Sunshine". I just wanted you to know if I can persevere through my losses and the doctors telling me I'm too old you can too. There is always hope. Big hugs.
