TTC after 35

I broke the rules

Today is 10 dpo and I broke the rules and POAS. I knew I shouldn't have, but I have just been "feeling" pregnant since about 6 dpo so I thought I would go ahead and test today. Of course it was a BFN. Duh! Now I feel like my period is about to start, but it's not due until Saturday.

And I have this weird sharp pain in my left boob. I normally get sore breasts about 4 days before my period starts but not like this.

Ugh!! Why do I do this to myself? I realize that today was probably too early and I should know for sure by Saturday. I just keep going back and forth in my mind...pregnant / not pregnant.

Come on Saturday...GET HERE!

Re: I broke the rules

  • Crossing all crossables for you! I had a BFN 12dpo with DS, and another at 12dpo currently and a BFP 13dpo (though this current one might not stick).

  • It's hard not to break the rules!  Hang in there. I hope it is just too early for the HCG to register. Sore boob pain sounds promising:-)

  • Good luck!  Talking yourself out of testing is hard.

  • I feel your pain. We have been TTC for what seems like years but has only been months, and I was 12 days late for AF and we both got a little excited and actually started to feel that this was it. I had alot of signs that this was it, regardless that some are confusing and could mean AF is coming or you are preggers. We finally decided ( this is the hardest part and we hold off sometimes longer than i think is necessary ) for me to POAS. BFN again.

    AF came the following day. 

     We were extremely disappointed as you can imagine. I have an OBG appointment next week. We may have to proceed with medication to help us TTC. This is a step we were not willing to take just yet but with my age, we just may have to make this next more sooner than later.

     

     

  • I resisted the urge to test today, although I really wanted to. I have an early meeting on Friday so I will probably be too rushed to remember to test. Morning testing it so hard for me. I wake up with a very full bladder. It's all I can do to get the package open in time! Trying to hold out until Saturday.

    So sorry about your BFN Step. Here's hoping you get some good results soon. There is no shame in a little extra help!

  • It's so normal to do and so dissapointing if it stays negative, I have been there and even talked myself into it cause I had so many symptoms but always BFN, hang in there fingers, toes crossed (not legs tho, lol) Keeping you in my thoughts, updated soon please. GL
  • I am breaking all sorts of rules over here. I have now tested:

    8dpo=BFN

    10dpo=BFN

    12dpo=BFN

    13dpo=AF due but no show and still, BFN

    Dear God, someone stop me. Tomorrow will be 14dpo and AF will be 1 day late and of course, I will test in the morning...AGAIN.
