Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[alicatt]

I'm 11dpo today but got a bfn today

Symptoms
Headaches
Backache
Runny nose
Funny sensation in boob (like milk coming in)
Emotional
Nauseas but not to bad when eaten

Sounds like me! I just have super sore nipples though, no tingling yet.
And funny you should say that about the nose, mine just did some funky thing and it got all stuffy/runny at the same time! How can your nose be dripping but stuffed at the same time? I have never understood that!

Here is hoping that tomorrow you see a !!!!

Im likely going to be out this month. Spotting since 8dpo, getting darker and heavier, and major menstrual cramps yesterday.

Good luck to Ali and Angel and anyone else still in the running.

Booo! I'm sorry... But I'm cheering you on for next month!!

First Try, but I'm rooting for you next month. If it is AF I hope she arrives quickly so the next cycle can begin

I really don't know what to think about me this month. I've had 2 huge dips in temp, this morning I woke up at 4:30am to pee, and have peed 2 more times and it is only 9am! In fact I think I should pee again! Crazy. My cramps have subsided a little, not as AF like as they were when I first got up 2 hours ago.

My symptoms appear to be getting worse:

nausea (started 4DPO) - is possible it feels worse today
back pain (started 5DPO)
headache (started 5DPO)
cramps (started 5DPO)
constipation (started 5DPO)
emotional (started 2 days ago, 6DPO)
heartburn (started last night, 7DPO)
frequent urination (started this morning, 8DPO)

Hmmmm...those are all very real PG symptoms!! So perhaps...when will you POS?

HEHE.. It was all I could do to stop myself from doing so this morning. I will probably do so tomorrow, even though the nurse said to wait until Saturday. I have 3-4 FRERs and all the cheap ones I got at the dollar store. The ones from the dollar store say they are only going to pick up 25 mIU/ml, and I think the FRERs are 20. So I think I'll use the cheap ones and then if they are questionable, I'll try the FRER.

Well, even though I am going out of town tomorrow, I will still check in on my phone...so I am anxious for RESULTS...POSITIVE results!!

Don't laugh at me too hard, but I just took the Am I Pregnant Quiz: https://www.babyzone.com/pregnancy/am-i-pregnant/am-i-pregnant_83795 and scored 34/44 so they said I very well could be pregnant and to Maybe I'll test using one of my cheap tests with my next pee.

Ali, symptoms are looking good. See how the temp goes tomorrow, it could just be your body adjusting if indeed implantation is occurring . I did the test as well and got 34 too!

im with you there with stuffy but unny nose its weird lol,i also had a sore throat but only in a morning,fingers crossed we get our bfp

I don't have this but have in the past so good luck Alin as well!!!


Terri, Coy, GNCope, Jess and everybody else


AFM... I'm extremely nervous as of today . I'm on 11DPO and although there was no temperature dip this morning I've had a very small amount of bright red spotting, like the IB type not menstrual flow type . There was a minute amount when I wiped this morning with quite a bit of watery CM so I had a wee dig about a couple of hours later and sure enough a very small amount of the bright red stuff was found. I've been a bit crampy and all over the place and I am oh so scared to even think down that road yet. My cycles vary between 28-35 days so I will be officially late on Sunday going on the 28 day length. I got a BFN yesterday so I'm going to try and leave it until Sunday to test to let HCG levels rise if it is indeed an IB. It's maybe just my AF gearing up early .

Flip, now how do I distract myself for the next few days????

 

[jm1355]

Angel!!

I think spinning on your head is a PERFECT distraction!

Or you could !

But, I guess the bottom line is that there is really nothing to distract you. Waiting for your BFP IS a distraction!!

But I'm praying for you!

 

[AngelSerenity]

Thanks Jess, I would go for a run, but I'm shattered!

I had a nice trip on my motorbike today, a 240 mile trip for a meeting. As nice as it was though all I could think about was what is going on down there!

So is the temping routine starting to kick in a bit?

 

[kelly1973]

hi ladies feel really down i poas this morn on my trusted ones 10iul that i always get off internet and i got a slight pink line so did another and slight pink line came up before 6 mins so then went to asda bought tests that said can use 5 days before missed period and nothing so im guessing evaps right?

 

[AngelSerenity]

Kelly maybe not so don't count yourself out. Can you tell the sensitivity on the tests you got? Perhaps the Asda ones aren't as sensitive? Or in my opinion pretty crap. I've never had any joy with Asda tests so I don't buy them anymore.

I had a nosey at your chart, it's still early days. Perhaps test again with your ICs tomorrow? I got a BFN yesterday using an IC at 10DPO but I've had a slight bit of spotting today so I'm going to try and hold on until Sunday until I test again (posted above).

Keep positive honey

Can you post any pics of the tests up? xo

Angel, I have done my temps for three days in a row now!! I'm so excited about it...today's temp was 96.48 and I'm on CD 8...so hopefully I will be BD'ing all weekend...

 

[kelly1973]

here it is the darker one is fmu it says they are 10miu and someone on another thread said the other test is 50miu

 

[AngelSerenity]

Kelly, if the top one was the test that showed up before 6 mins that is no evap in my opinion. It looks too strong. I've never had an evap, I just get nothing on ICs but I thought evaps only happened after 10mins or they appear after 10mins and then disappear sometime later?

p.s. still stand by I hate Asda tests. My mate used them a few months ago, I was with her and she didnt even get the test line up on both tests.

Don't want to give you false hope, but I really would test again in the morning xo

Edited to say I've just re-read your post the top one is FMU, it is looking good Kelly!

 

[alin3boys]

Kelly they look like bfp to me evap lines are grey not pink,I think a tentative congratulations is in order

 

[AngelSerenity]

Alin, when are you testing again?

 

[kelly1973]

so the superdrug tests to get is it there own brand thats good?

 

[alin3boys]

I will test again in morning as have about 25 cheapie tests left lol

 

[Philomena]

Holy cow! We went to Seattle for a week and all heck has let loose! Yay for all the bfp's!!! And for those in the tww I have my fingers crossed for you!
So excited!

Ali test already!! I'm getting impatient.... I started testing at 7 dpo knowing I might keep getting negs until af was due... I got my bfp's at 10 dpo.... What day are you on now? So many posts to catch up on and so many new ladies! I hope everyone gets their bfp's this month!

AFM. I've been feeling blue the last week or two. I'm getting a little worried as I had pretty severe post partum depression with my daughter. I was hoping it was more situational before as I was younger, and the pregnancy wasn't planned and things were stressful with her dad.... This time everything is different-baby is planned, I'm married, stable home life, no major money worries, nice home... But I'm starting to feel those irrational sad, blue feelings. I'm unmotivated and can cry at the drop of a hat. Not sure what to do. I have made an appointment with a counsellor, and talked to my midwife about it, but if it's hormonal then does that mean nothing can help?
Any suggestions from my bnb ladies? I already love this little bean and I so much want to just enjoy this pregnancy... I really am getting worried....

 

[alin3boys]

Phil I'm 11dpo today I think according to my cbfm and positive opk,but lost my thermometer and ff didn't detect ovulation

Phil! So glad you are back! I don't have any experience with Post partum depression, since I've never been pregnant before. I have heard that each pregnancy is different so maybe this one you'll be fine? No sense worrying about it now as there isn't much you can do about it right now

AFM.. I did test yesterday (a beta) and it was negative, at only 0.46 or something like that. It needs to be above 5 I think before they will consider it positive. I POAS this afternoon too, and it too was negative, but I'm wondering if the tip today was the real implantation tip and maybe I just need to wait a day or 2? IDK. I'm only 8DPO today, but its getting late so closing in on 9DPO

Don't you worry, if I get a I will post the pretty picture and let you all know!! Heck I'll be shouting from the rooftops, you might hear me out west!!

Hi ladies

Wow, posts to catch up on! I haven’t had much time to pop on here plus this little computer is kind of annoying, lol, and I am having to work in the living room, so, ya know, kids….. And distractions. I miss my office lol

Let’s see, today was kind of slow, I did get out and mow the front and back yards…A bug climbed up my jean leg and freaked me out! That’s because it was on the inside of my jean leg Aaargh! LOL! Uugh, and the grass hoppers are taking over our lawn and they are pretty sick to crunch and mow over. It is like this every summer here I hate them. And worse, our Boston Terrier makes lunch out of them which is totally gross and she is getting fatter

Babes has been kicking around lots though! Last night was the first night I had trouble getting to sleep as she was kicking me so hard and often! And she prefers I sleep on my right side so I hope that is ok, Katana did also
Phil- great to hear from you! Perosnally I think it's just hormones hon, and totally normal! Try not to worry too much
Ali- got my fx’d for you, when will you test?
Kelly- is that an hpt test? Def looks positive to me!! Try again tomorrow with fmu? I’m gonna say congrats then just in case it’s a hpt! Plus your chart temps look amazing!
Jess- fx’d for you also!
Hello to everyone else, will try to catch up on posts as soon as this sloooow little computer will let me
