Hi! I'm Jen. I'll be 40 in 2 weeks. I have two boys as shown in siggy below, and two losses as shown in siggy below. Our last pregnancy was a surprise. It took us a year and one loss to get pregnant with our second boy, so I just didn't think that getting pregnant again would happen. When we did find out we were pregnant, we both completely opened up a space in our hearts for a new little one. We decided after our loss that we really really want another baby. This is my first month TTC, and AF is due in a few days (I think? depending on if my cycles are back to normal yet or not). I have tested the last 3 days with $store tests and FRER and gotten very very faint lines on all of them, except the FRER I took this morning, which was undoubtedly negative. I just took another $store test and got another teeny tiny very faint line. I can't decide if they are all evap lines or not. With the negative test this morning, and my lines not getting any darker, I figure this cycle is likely a bust anyways. I'm worried it may be a chemical pregnancy??? I so worry about the quality of my eggs. This getting older business sure stinks when you're TTC. ugh.

I'd love to hear a quick howdy and names/ages/kids/etc, if you have a second.

Update: another negative test today. I'm definitely out for this month. I really think it might have been a chemical, which really is a bummer. Is it my eggs??? Now I'm waiting on af.

I HATE this part of TTC. It made me crazy when I was TTC for a year with my youngest. I don't think I can do that again, especially with my even more advanced age this time around. I think I'm going to try a estrogen lowering diet to see if that helps things along.
