TTC after 35

Totally flipping out!!! (((BFP warning))))

My heart is racing a mile a minute right now.

Ok so I have no idea how many dpo I am but AF should have come by yesterday. I have been 23-25 day cycle since my MC last march. Yesterday was 25.

Stupid me figured I would wake up with AF so I didn't think to catch FMU. I have no signs of AF, I usually have pink tinged cm the day before but not this time. So I just POAS with second pee and at first there was nothing so I put the stick on the counter and went to wait for the little girl I sit for to come.
So when she gets here I went back to my bedroom to get dressed (yes I stay in my pj's until I have to get dressed) it's one of the perks of sitting for friends. Anyhoo I went back to the bathroom to throw the stick out and I saw a second line. It's a squinter but it's there.
Que the freak out.

I will test again in 2 days if AF doesn't come and if it's still positive I will tell my husband and try and have some betas done.

You guys are going to have to hold me tight for the next week or so.

I want this soooo bad but I can't be happy yet. I've been there done that. So I'm just going to wait it out.

I love you all.

  • I love you @KirstenAlecia. I will be sticking around for a little while still.
    I will eventually move to the over 35 board and I think I will also join the after loss board. Because I'm already checking the toilet paper every 15 min.
    This will be a long 8 months for me but I'm so happy to be going through it all.

    Don't worry hottigans will still stalk you all until you follow us to the pg board

    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP! 
  • Oh no!!! Don't stress my dear! That makes me sad to hear that you are anxious and checking the  TP. I totally understand though. hugs. 

    It so funny….im so attached to some of you ladies. lol. 

    Hottiegans you have to tell us how hubby reacted and the kids too (if they know?)

  • Not sure how hubby will take it. He actually wanted to stop trying a while back and he agreed to try a few more months. But that was 6 months ago. I think he just thought we just couldn't get pregnant again. He will be freaked out at first but he is a wonderful father and will be in love with this new one just like he is for the other 2.

    As far as the kids. I'm not telling them until 10 or 12 weeks. I couldn't go through telling them if god forbid we had another loss. So they will be told when I tell the rest of the family after first tri.
