Over 40 ttc - August baby dust for me!

So sorry Megan :(

Cleo it was cycle day 9 and cycle day 14 (normally a 14 girl)
I'm using Ovia....
What's the theory?

Oh dear I’ve just realised how that came out - I didn’t mean it to sound so blunt I’m sorry! It was more that I’m fascinated after catching up with this thread yesterday and seeing so many CPs and early MCs it got me to thinking again about what ‘Dr Doom’ had to say about the egg quality of us over 40s at my last cycle review - I hate to admit it but I guess he’s right - God i want so much to prove him wrong and get a BFP to tell him to stick somewhere the sun doesn’t shine!

Yea a cp

I’m so sorr6 @megan18 - do you mean it was a CP?

I lost my baby 😭

Hi all hope everyone is ok. I was wondering when you ovulated after first post partum af? I am cd 3 now , thanks xx

Also in the TWW here -9dpo today but no hope or symptoms other than odd poking and pulling sensations since the evening of 5dpo which have pretty much disappeared this morning. It’s just like what I had after my embryo transfer in June and that was a BFN so under no illusions that there will a positive outcome this time either. AF due on Friday so just looking forward to that and being able to start my second round of IVF I’ve made some positive changes since the last cycle such as daily fertility yoga, meditation, reduced work stress, ubiquinol, DHA and more protein intake so who knows - maybe it will all help! 😊

Hope all you guys also in the TWW are doing ok and having more positive symptoms than me 😁

What charting app are you using? I don't recognise that one

I can't enlarge it on my phone weasle! Can just about make it out, but what cd was your 1st ov and what cd was you 2nd ov? I may have a potential theory

Morning

Officially in the tww too!

Urgh, here's the chart

Hi cleo, here's my weird chart! The first dip is when I thought I ovulated and the second dip was when I had the positive opk! The rise was this morning....

How are your temps weasle? Did they dip?
I think I'm in the 2ww too, no idea what dpo though, and don't stand a chance this cycle anyway as couldn't dtd past Thursday and don't think ov was any earlier than Sunday, so thats me out. Just waiting for af now

Morning ladies, how we all doing?
So think I'm in the tww now after my unexpected ovulation?!
Where's everyone else upto?

I know..hopefully it was just that! I didn't reply as didn't know what to say..same as everyone else prob! I've been ignored on loads of other threads and just try not to take it personally. This thread is different as everyone has been so supportive and it's so hard to keep track of everyone when you're desperately seeking the elusive BFP and trying to stay sane at the same time!!
I thought I'd also have some time out after AF got me but it got me wondering as it was a strange "half AF' which is what I had with DS. Not a proper bleed. The second one like it..only difference is it's early and not nearly 2 wks late like when I didn't realise i was preg. Our cycles constantly have us wondering!!

Agh I was a blubbering mess at the time :( I saw that last message and thought she was taking some time out, as I've been trying to do

Welcome all new ladies.
Shiny .. looks like we need to delete wimsywon from our list as she asked for reassurance and never got a response so she left. Her last words were couple pages back...she said Bye ladies. GL. X. This thread moves so fast it's so easy to miss someone.

Got a -pt today. This part of the cycle is so nerve wracking

Finally got some more opks - negative as anything so looks like my cd13-15 not quite positives last week must have peaked at the weekend when we didn't dtd (although did a couple of times around then). Might see if we can get one done tonight just for the hell of it. We'll be away up to cd29 so have also bought some cheapy pg tests to smuggle away for cd27/8.

Thanks @Cleozeta and hi to @karryk
All we can do is to give a good bash! Literally haha we had such a sex-athon last week that he wouldn't finish at the end of FW! Haha away to my western acupuncturist and will have another bash tonight 😉
I also use Chinese acupuncturist and the difference is massive! Dr Tan day no pain no gain as she darts her needles in me! 😱😱

Hello ladies! Mind if I join? Hello Russkispy

We're about to try for bub #2. I'm 41 - I had dd1 a month after my 40th birthday, after 2mmc. Slightly complex now in that I had scarring after my c-section which left me with light periods and only 1/3 of my womb had lining (eek) added to which it looks as if the scar tissue might have blocked off one of my tubes . I've had a hysteroscopy to try and remove the adhesions and two months worth of oestrogen tablets to give the old lining a boost.

Not entirely sure how this will pan out but we're going to give it a bash anyway!

Wishing everyone the best of luck too xx

Weasle - how interesting! What have temps done now? Did it dip on the day of 2nd +opk? Or stay high? How long ago was previous +opk? On my epic research mission it could be either 2nd ovulation (more likely the closer it was to 1st) a bfp if there was a dip in temp aswell, or non ovulation the first time, although that would be strange with high temps.

I still don't know what is happening here as am away so not been able to temp or opk since +opk on friday and cbfm peak on Saturday. Last temp I took on sunday was still low, so who knows. Will just have to wait and see now when af turns up. Out of interest I will count back and see when ov actually happened and if my thermomitoris squiffy or it's me thats squiffy!
Have definitely had lots of ovary twinges for about a week between just before +opk.and yesterday but I think that may be down to being a week late this cycle.

Karigan - that is a long time! What does gp say?

Angel - fingers crossed your cycle is returning now, stress can definitely put you out of wack and it sounds like you have had plently of that.

Critter - good to hear from you! Fingers crossed for round 2 - kerp us up dated! (If you are allowed!!)

Russ - mine was late this cycle too, 3 momths after mmc, although I think mime may be more down to a holiday than the mc, although you can never tell! Good luck

Been using clearblue advanced digital OPK, got static face on CD18 (stayed for 48 hours). Never had it that late in a cycle. But maybe with MC, my cycle is messed up this time? Our first TTC after MC. So not sure how long this cycle will be then?! Around 3-4dpo now. Never been a POAS girl and will just wait for AF. Fingers crossed it never arrives! Good luck who's in 2ww!

Ladies!!! Omg weird stuff is happening! I had what I thought was an early ovulation last week, opk positive and all the right temps... temp has been slowly climbing (all good) then I work (tmi) but I had ewcm. So I thought I'd pee on a opk for a laugh and got this!!!!
Was it cleo who said about a second ovulation???? Who knows but I've signed DH up for some dtd tonight!!!
