Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[Grey Eyes]

Ali- Wow, your temps look awesome! I am dead serious- I don't know, temps usually drop just before AF but not always...but rare to spike quite this high (bfp symptom) if it's not a bfp! Oh, and another thing- you mentioned the feverish temp (bfp symptom) of almost 100 during the day? I had those too after my bfp! I would temp at random resting times during the day- you know, doing my school, etc...as long as you haven't had any hot drinks or anything in your mouth for 15 min or so...and my temps were 099.5-99.8 etc for like the first couple of weeks after bfp on 10 dpo. And don't stress too much about dpo - depending upon your cycle lengths your bfp will not always land on a 10 dpo or 9 dpo etc. It may take the whoel 14 dpo to catch it Vivid dreams are also a symptom of bfp- seriously. I almost never dream but as soon as implantation ocurred and hormones surged I started dreaming like crazy. And I do mean crazy lol! Not trying to get your hopes up but don't want you to stress either! I got a bfn then next day-bam, bfp! Hangin there!

Jess- the job sounds promising I got my fx'd for you And boo to the but this gives you some "think-time" Don't forget I need some exersize advice from you! jk, but I do want to build my arms- like work especially to firm the backs of my arms more and build build build! I love having muscles lol

Apple - love the name! It's awesome, and rare Got my fx'd for you also- you and Ali share a tww it always seems to help having a tww buddy! And yes, your chart is looking awesome so far!

Thanks for saying so! I really do hope it is a I guess I'm just second guessing everything. Strangely most of my symptoms have gone away today. Only thing I'm feeling right now is heartburn/gassy and queasy. No cramps, no lower back pains, so maybe AF is going to stay away? AHHHHH I tell you I am going to lose my mind before this week is out!

Crap, I just started spotting. This sucks.

Crap, I just started spotting. This sucks.

Nuts! Maybe just regular implantation bleed? Or are you sure it is AF? If it is the nasty old I say treat yourself to something rare and awesome today I always needed a pick-me-up after her initial visit. She's such a downer...but there was a time when she didn't show up at all and that was worse! Hang in there!

The triphasic chart got me so excited. But the spotting is like my normal cycle. I still have a tiny bit of hope, but it's likely not my month.

Thanks

OH NO! Is it IB or AF? Can you tell, do you normally start spotting early?

 

[Grey Eyes]

well it's 1230 now so guess I should have breakfast I am always such a late starter! But am getting shaky so have to eat. I made an egg omelot as I am trying to stick to proteins but I swear to God I am eyeing that vanilla ice cream with fudge sauce 'bout now!! But just to make me feel better (lol) I stuffed my omelot with fresh green onion tops and oozy cheese

I normally start spotting around 10-12dpo And it continues for 4-6 days before AF. So, eh.

Well if my tummy were happier I'd say yum! The thought of eggs and ice cream together make my stomach turn! GROSS!!!

Thanks for your wishes, I am going to need them the coming days.

I was just looking at my DPOs last month and I did start spotting around this time too. So far no spotting. The AF symptoms have returned, I wish my body would just make up its freaking mind!! AHHH.. this wait is going to be the death of me

 

[AngelSerenity]

Apple - honey. Gosh that's early you start spotting, is it linked to anything in particular? Perfect timing for an IB too...


Ali - fingers crossed honey, a few of the other things you mention also scream of a BFP to me. Sorry, don't want to get your hopes up too much but I'm with the rest and hope you get blessed with good news this week


Jess - D-Day Friday here we come (well not me literally lol apart from it'll be the weekend )


Coy - keep those lawyers on their toes babe, imagine asking you to travel that distance at 7 months gone, no way hosey


AFM - have had a bit of a strange week, AF due today but no sign yet. My cycles can vary in length so not even thinking about testing yet (ok I am but like I couldnt be pregnant unless my name has changed to Mary!). Pals on another thread on here think I should lol but I am resisting, I am resisting as see no point. Ok, there is a slight chance but I mean slight. So slight my DH would be asking questions

I managed to get a BBT this morning and it is high (37.0 oC), and I still have some creamy cm, but I also feel a bit crampy so reckon I'll just be a couple of days late. I'm going to start charting again from now as well as this cycle not charting has left me so confused not knowing how my body is behaving.


This basically stems from getting positive OPKs 5 days in a row last week, but I used a different brand last night and it was negative. I also used a cheap IC HPT last Weds and that was negative too so I think my body is just a bit awry this month .


Not happy as I want this AF now so I can get back on the TTC bandwagon after a couple of months off after my last MC. Didnt think I'd ever say it, but come on AF where are you?


Oh this game is so testing on our nerves, Ali hang in there, nearly there!
