So I’m currently on day cycle 12 not due ovulation yet but I should be in a few days! Trying for my second is anyone else wants to join this tread to talk about TTC come on over.
I have been tracking my cycles for a few months now but we are only trying from this month.

Hi mouse14,
The age gap to DH is spot on, my older man Smile. He has no children so ttc number 1 for him. My DS is actually nearly 15years old! (Had him when I was 22). I didn’t think I’d find myself Ttc so many years later! I’m currently CD5 so just finished AF, been and bought some test strips as I only temped last month. I won’t be due next AF till November technically but hope I can gatecrash this thread for a bit!

I know what you feel about time running out. We have informally given ourselves 18months to see what happens. DH knows i temp but I’m much more obsessed than he knows!

Hi Mouse14 I’m sure we were on the September 2017 thread together? Maybe I’m wrong tho! Welcome to the lucky thread and sorry to hear about your MC x

Thanks Abs I’ll keep you updated šŸ¤žšŸ½X

Welcome @Mouse14 sorry to hear that AF arrived! :( Fingers crossed November will be the month for you šŸ¤žšŸ½

@HelloBrass I keep going in to shops to buy pregnancy tests and then stopping myself because I know I'll use them all up! I've only got a CB one at home, which I'm trying to save if AF is late..
Sounds like you've covered yourself, hopefully you'll get a BFP by the 27th!!

@Rightnow1245 hope you do get that positive soon! 😊

Mouse14 · 11/10/2018 15:26

kayjay2018 we’re in a similar boat- 37 with a DH of 51 and babies the same age too!

Mouse14 · 11/10/2018 15:12

Hello!
Any room for another?!
AF arrived today and I’m feeling so disheartened. It’s the first month we’ve been TTC properly since a MC in July. We’ve got a beautiful 14 month boy but I’m so desperate to do it all over again.
Didn’t have a problem conceiving with DS or with my last pregnancy so although it’s only been a month I’m getting ridiculously anxious. I’m 37, DH 51 and I have this overwhelming feeling that time isn’t on our side.

So wish there was a magic wand full of baby dust for us all as this waiting game is just torturous. Flowers

Rightnow1245 · 11/10/2018 14:57

Fingers crossed for you Decgal88 šŸ¤žšŸ½

Hellobrass according to the last few cycles I’m due on a few days before you! I have a short Luteal phase.. after my last post I got a very near positive on the opk so I think I might get a positive real soon 😊 we will have to keep each other from not POS early 😬 anyone else not ovulated or just starting their TTW?

Decgal88 · 11/10/2018 12:28

@Cloclopops yea makes sense! im just being impatient will wait till AF due! my boobs still feel quite sore from last week it usually passes after fertile/ovulation week, is anyone else still feeling like this? think im looking into the signs too much GrinConfused

Cloclopops · 11/10/2018 12:22

@decgal88 from what I've read, I think even sensitive tests can't pick up a pregnancy until 4 days after implantation and implantation usually occurs between 8-10 days after ovulation x

Decgal88 · 11/10/2018 11:55

Fingers crossed for you @EmmTTC Out of curiosity whats the earliest you can test after ovulation? anyone had any success testing early and got BFP?

Rightnow1245 · 11/10/2018 11:36

EmmTTC sorry to hear that but it is really early don’t count yourself out yet! I was 2weeks late and still got a bfn and a few days later got a BFP 😊 you still have a chance!!!
So now I’m thinking that I might of ovulated already..still no positive on my OPK and I’m on day 19dp I’m so confused šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

HelloBrass · 11/10/2018 11:32

I'm pretty sure I'm ovulating today. EWCM from Tuesday is my give away. We dtd last Thurs, Sunday, Tuesday and last night, and going to try again tonight. I'm hoping for Saturday too to cover all bases and hopefully when we'll be less tired and more relaxed! AF due 27th.

I'm trying to stay positive and hopeful!

I don't have any pregnancy tests in the house (after going nuts last month and using them all up) and I'm going to try not to buy any unless I'm late... What's the betting I cave?!!

Abzi91 · 11/10/2018 11:15

@Decgal88 @Cloclopops ooh cycle buddies!Will try to hold off if I can, but I'm sure I'll struggle
Fingers crossed!! Keep me updated! xx

Morning @EmmTTC
Ahh sorry :( hopefully it'll be a bfp on Sunday! šŸ¤žšŸ½ xx

Decgal88 · 11/10/2018 10:48

i know its so hard waiting! im going to wait also hopefully AF doesnt show so I will test on the 20th as I have previously tested before!! let me kniw how you both get on Smilexxx

Cloclopops · 11/10/2018 10:29

@decgal88 @abzi91 amazing!! Love that we're the same ā¤ yh I dont think I'll test till at least 10dpo but the wait feels like forever xx

Decgal88 · 11/10/2018 10:09

@cloclopops @Abzi91 I am the same too ladies ovulated 6th AF due the 20th!! fingers crossed for us all xxx

EmmTTC · 11/10/2018 09:52

Morning ladies!

I’m currently 11dpo.. if my app is correct about my ovulation day (although we covered early and late ovulation too)... and I just got a BFN. šŸ™„šŸ˜© I knew I shouldn’t have tested so now I’m hiding them until Sunday earliest!

Abzi91 · 11/10/2018 08:34

Welcome @Cloclopops! I'm the same as you, ovulated on 6th so 5dpo but AF due on 20th! The days are going so slowly.. waiting till at lest 10dpo then will probably start obsessively POAS šŸ™ˆ

Cloclopops · 11/10/2018 00:29

Hi girls! Can I join? I'm in the TWW boat too and feeling soooo impatient. TTC baby #1, it's only our second month trying, age 26, ovulated Friday 6th (I think?? It's all very confusing), 5DPO and AF due 21st. Fingers and toes crossed for us all!!!

Abzi91 · 10/10/2018 22:14

@Rightnow1245 I hope so! We all need a bit of luck!

@Capybaras I know, it's easy to obsess and not just relax and go with the flow!

Kitsandkids · 10/10/2018 20:43

Notabump - I’m sure I don’t normally get these pains though. You never know, you could have to change your user name soon! Grin

Rightnow1245 · 10/10/2018 20:42

Welcome Decgal88 it could be possible because you could of ovulated earlier, is that possible? I didn’t ever have a implantation bleed with DS so not sure about it to be honest šŸ¤”
Capybaras oh yeah it Defo would be!
Kitsandkids do you usually get pains this far from your period?

OP posts:
notabumpjusttoomanybiscuits · 10/10/2018 19:26

@Kitsandkids we're due AF round the same time!! I have similar feelings but think it's just my body getting ready for AF šŸ™„

ReginaPhalange89 · 10/10/2018 17:47

God this TWW is a looooong time šŸ™ˆ I'm only about 4 days in , so impatient already !

Anyone had any super early symptoms that lead to being pregnant ? I've had the odd mild cramps but today my head is absolutely banging šŸ™ˆ

Kitsandkids · 10/10/2018 16:06

I’ve been getting mild but niggly pains low down in my stomach for the past couple of days. Period due on Saturday 13th. Are they a good sign or a bad sign do you think?

Decgal88 · 10/10/2018 15:42

@Capybaras that sounds like a nightmare with the inconsistency! how long did you have the implant in? i had mine in 3 years had it taken out beginning of July my cycles have been fairly regular 30 days ish give and take a few days for my August cycle! are you using any conception vitamins? im taking pregnacare see how things go with it, only bedn taking it 2 weeks so will see Smile
