TTC after loss - over 40 - any takers? Our lucky thread - 9 rainbows and 1 BFP

[Xanth]

I know what you all mean...I have like 3 ic's left and keep talking myself out of poas as this morning was bfn (Although I kept thinking I saw something but then didn't...got line eye haha) I had also done an opk as is my habit and it was darker than usual for post ovulation however they say some get a positive right before af...the lines were really close to same color but definitely not positive. So even though I still have lots of opk's left, fighting the urge to use another one just to torture myself. haha...ttc is so tricky

can't you post a pic for me. I love looking at tests and line spotting

Anyway here's mine from just - maybe a teeny hint of something. Argh scared to get my hopes up though.

lol let me wait a little while to save up some urine and I will do another one...I still am doubtful.

Ok the pic with the hpt on top of the opk is the fmu one which I swear I see something but it's probably just wishful thinking. the one with the hpt on bottom was this afternoon but not held long maybe an hour? both opks are darker than usual for not being around O time...Only time I got dark opks at other times was during my last cycle which was over 70 days long and I think that was just my body trying to finally ovulate. Also the opk's were much darker when they were still wet...as they dry they look lighter for some reason. Anyway here they are as promised.

I'm back on my phone now so I can't get a really good luck. Those OPKs are definitely looking dark though. Hope that's a good sign. Mine were like that when I was pregnant xxx

i see it, i`ll have a go in a bit.

i am going to give in and to another test soon - had very small amount of pink discharge so think AF is on way - so thought might as well do it.

Saving up my wee, it`s been nearly 2 hours. i`ll have some lunch first and see after!

What will the Metformin do, I`ve never heard of it!

just read about your appoinment on your journal, sounds like it went really well and also comforting to know he dosn`t think you are too old at 41 - i will be 41 in august, so that makes me feel better.

Still haven`t done the test yet, don`t know if i should, because if BFN i know that is that for this month, but if I leave it and see what happens, i may have a few more hours of believing.

Any advice.

Better be quick advice before i wet myself!!!!!

hey Lil, any news?

Oh no I'm sorry I had to feed Brandon.
Now I have to say with those tests I had to fetch them out of the packaging before I could see a line.

What I`m sad about is, i was beginning to think i was this month, as this month it has been different from the last two months!

the last 2 months i thought i was due to being very tired and needing to pee all the time and i got AF.

Last weekend, 4/5 days after OV i had cramoing over the weekend and have had a second temp rise this month, so was thinking it was different so I would get BFP.

twice today i have had a very slight pink/brown discharge but temp is still high. this is how AF started last month, messed around for about 12 hours before starting properly.

What is really gutting though, is on my previous PG i have always got PG first time of trying.

Even at 38 i got PG first time, I did lose that one, but then tried straight after and got PG again first time.

not sure about the one i lost this year because that was an accident, but i do know from the signs that I got, eg EWCM at the time, that we DTD 2 days before OV.

Really stating to get worried and concerned as to why this is now taking time, i know it`s only been two cycles, but I am not used to this upset each month!!

makes me think it`s not going to happen now - why are our bodies so cruel?

 

[lilblossom]

I know exactly what you mean, why does something that use to be so easy have to be so difficult. I think for our group we may be causing some of this because we are stressing out so much about getting pregnant in a hurry because of the time limit our bodies put on us naturally that we are actually making it harder. Think I am going to add meditating/praying (don't laugh at me) to our ttc this cycle...the meditating for the stress and prayer for my sanity. Oh and wine for my sanity

I think you are are right about the stressing, because we know time is against us, it doesn`t help does it?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Better sign off now, got to start the tea as my son is going to football at 6 and it won`t be ready in time at this pace!!

Have a good weekend.
