The May bus sets off for those who regularly check for their Cervical Lucas, take frolic acid, shout SYMPTOMS, throw out their BastardSticks but then buy more to piss on and just want to be upduffed!

Don't want to waste another FRER so not POAS, myself duchesse but AF is due tomorrow (CD35 if last 2 cycles anything to go by) so just going to have a 'chillout' day. Yesterday was fab-lunch in a lovely pub garden then sitting in the sun for the rest of their afternoon-bliss! Hope the weather's lovely too, today Dragon

Morning.....sorry the witch got you spinning. Go and get your bloods done if you've been trying that long. I was speaking to a friend of mine who is same age and she's had various scans done to check egg reserves and womb lining. Hers is very thin and unlikely to be able to conceive but not impossible.
Chaircat I think temp rises just before ovulation then drops straight after so I'd say go for it!

theduchesse · 04/05/2014 07:42

Anyone testing today? I'm just hoping my opk's turn positive soon. Off to a friends BBQ today so at least I won't be able to obsess too much.

spinningirl10 · 04/05/2014 07:35

Thanks ladies.....Hi Mama 'waves', good to see you. How are you getting on? Grin

Can I add new stats please:
Spinningirl10 ttc#3, cycle 10, bfp due May 30th

ChandlersFarang · 04/05/2014 02:36

Oops forgot to thank Kitty for the stats earlier re: the April bus. We're on 2 so far in May then, and it's only the 4th! Grin

Spinning - damn the witch!!!!!!!!

ChaircatMiaow · 04/05/2014 00:54

Sorry to hear the witch has arrived spinning. Onwards and upwards for the next cycle, rawr Dragon

ChaircatMiaow · 04/05/2014 00:53

Probably very silly question but..

So I had a positive opk in the afternoon yesterday, but the evening test showed a much lighter line. Temp was 36.48 yesterday but has gone up to 36.6 today (highest it's been this cycle). Also cervical Lucas is far less than Friday when it was the gushiest (sorry).

Does this mean I have ovulated?

Mam31 · 03/05/2014 23:15

Btw this is Mama31, had to name change due to account issues! (waves at spinning) hope your doing ok lovely.

Mam31 · 03/05/2014 23:03

spinningirl10 · 03/05/2014 22:09

Thanks ladies.....Linda is my hope that bfp do come to us older ladies, bring on the next cycleGrin

toots123 · 03/05/2014 21:47

Linda! Such fab news, congrats!!

Hope everyone is good, this tww is going slow haha

toothachereturns · 03/05/2014 20:26

Sorry the bitch arrived Spinning. x

Viperama · 03/05/2014 19:47

Spinning that really sucks, hate the witch!

Brummiegirl15 · 03/05/2014 18:27

linda that is cracking news!!! Congrats!!!

According to my tracker app I'm due to ov tomorrow but bastard sticks aren't showing anything apart froma v v faint line and according to instructions - that's a negativem.

Going to pounce on DP tonight - oh yeah baby!!!

lindamagoo · 03/05/2014 18:24

Thank you Nordic. I've never wanted a glass of wine so much in my life, lol, and to make matters worse oh is drinking without me Hmm

Nordicmom · 03/05/2014 18:21

Congrats Linda :)!

lindamagoo · 03/05/2014 18:16

That's what I did aswell, was worried about the risks, still am, but she said these days a woman of my age has just as good a chance as someone in their 20's. I honestly can't say it enough now but I think softcups should be on everybody's list of aids to help ttc. They are so easy to put in and take out and comfortable and clearly help Smile

spinningirl10 · 03/05/2014 18:04

Thanks Linda.... Hopefully this cycle will be lucky especially now I have my fertility braceletSmile

Think I'll have a chat to my doc and see what she says. She's really lovely and I spoke to her before we started ttc incaSe she thought I was too old!!

lindamagoo · 03/05/2014 17:54

Oh no spinning I'm so sorry huni. Was desperately hoping this was your month. It only tells you if you have ovulated I think. When I asked my doctor about the results yesterday she actually had to look it up in a book cause she didn't know anything about it

spinningirl10 · 03/05/2014 17:46

Well af has arrived Hmm I feel really down about it this cycle but I'm sure I'll be ok in a couple of days.
Dp and I are away next weekend, I was hoping it would coincide with ov time but I'll be cd8/9, usually get +opk on day 11 so I guess they'll still be some swimmers around if we dtd plentyWink

Mel I'm not sure how many cycles we've been trying but I had a mc in October, I think we started trying at the end of August! because I got my bfp we know we can do it.....I think I'll get 21 day bloods done, I know they show if you're ovulating which I think I am but do they also tell if your lining is thick enough to carry a pregnancy?

sammyj85 · 03/05/2014 17:29

Ooh forgot to add farting! And then getting dh to take the rap!

MelMc73 · 03/05/2014 17:11

Ah right....thanks linda! If it's a bfn this week I'll go and see gp earlier. Does anyone know if there are any off the shelf tests for male fertility...my dh is 44 this month!

lindamagoo · 03/05/2014 17:08

Mel I'm in Scotland too, i just got the day 21 blood tests done to make sure I was ovulating and that was just over a week ago, cycle 2

MelMc73 · 03/05/2014 17:03

I'm only on cycle 3 spinning and dr google said if your over 35 you should try for 6 months before going to gp. I'm in Scotland and not sure what tests are available....I'm really hoping its a bfp later this week!!
