Early pregnancy symptoms different for over 40 moms?
I had a tubal reversal about 5 years ago, since we did not have success concieving early on we just decided to relax and see if things happen. Now I'm 45, my period is 1 week late with absoultly no spotting (I usually have spotting between periods and have up to this month been right on schedule). About a week and a half ago I had some severe cramping, felt like labour pain, even radiated down through my vaginal area into my inner thighs. According to the calculators this coincides with my expected implantation date. The pain lasted for about 30 minutes with some achyness after. Since I've had a lot of clear discharge, swollen labia, now today pressure and fullness in the lower abdominal area. And a very highly increaseed desire for sex (like I could have sex several times a day when before I rarely felt desire, and certianly not like this). So with all this going on and being 4 days late I've decided to test to see if I get a positive. I highly suspect I might but feeling anxious abourt either result. My husband would love to have a child so would be overjoyed at the news of my pregnancy. The symptoms are so much different when I had my 2 children when I was in my early 20's. Anyone have similar symptoms or increased symptoms? I'll keep you posted on how the test goes tomorrow morning. :)

I did a test this morning, using First Response and was negative. Not sure what is going on, still feeling nauseated with a headache and very, very tired today. All seems strange to me. Maybe is peripmenapause symptoms, just never heard of any of the symptoms I'm having as perimenopause symptoms. Still no sign of AF today.

Hi! I'm 42 and ttc! I thought I was 5dpo, but this site says I'm 8dpo!! I've had symptoms since last Friday!! The most prominent is the way my teeth and gums feel. Today, my boobs are slightly tender (right boob). My moodiness is relevant! Almost took my dudes head off for calling me a Facebook addict!! (I am NOT a Facebook addict!!????????????????????) We have been trying since April. I thought I was then, I'm SURE it was a chemical pregnancy, I even had the metallic taste and all!! He was SOOOOO disappointed!! I can get obsessive....???????????????? But God has ALREADY shown me that we will conceive!!! So I'm just gonna chill... I already have a 20 year old daughter, and so does he!! Good luck to all of us!!!
