Anyone out there want to join me in trying for a successful Feb?! I’m sure there are loads of us out there can can support and answer questions :)
I’m 35, TTC #2 and have been trying for 4 months or so. My Son is almost 16 months so out of that baby stage which was so much fun (although this age defo has its perks).

@Bluebell9 that’s so exciting! Fingers crossed!

Mooey89 · 16/02/2019 12:42

Had my positive ov test yesterday but DH wasn’t feeling well last night so no DTD for me! Got my Nan staying tonight too so think that will be a mood killer and then I’m out!
Just hoping we’ve dtd enough this fertile window! It does kind of take the romance out of it! 😂

Hi Scottish 1. Don’t want to get your hopes up and then be disappointed but I did feel those weird pulling things like dragging really low almost across pubic bone) . I googled it ( as always!) and found that they can either be PMT or early preg cramps .. (so that really helps!) I am 37.5 so age is a concern for me too. It’s four years since I was pregnant and that feels an age! Still trying to let the news sink in, it doesn’t feel quite real yet tbh. Btw, are you actually Scottish?! Just wondering! How long have you got to wait?

Bluebell9 · 16/02/2019 11:57

@FilthyforFirth i did a Tesco test this morning and got a faint postive. I'm going to test with a FRER tomorrow!
Fingers crossed for you testing tomorrow.

Scottish1 · 16/02/2019 10:36

😂 @Doris19 Did you get the deed done last night?

Scottish1 · 16/02/2019 10:08

@shouldntbeonhereagain Really??? Now I am getting my hopes up 🙈 Trying for my second. My daughter is 12 though so I was 26 when I had her. 38 now so age is a worry but been reading about so many older women conceiving that I’m thinking: it can happen! 🤞🏻How old are you again @shouldntbeongereagain ? How are you getting on with you bfp? Xx

shouldntbeonhereagain · 16/02/2019 09:07

Scottish 1 - I had that dragging /pulling sensation before I did the test. Had it intermittently since too. Hope it’s good news for you. Is this ttc#4 for you? How old are your others? X

ale2992 · 16/02/2019 08:34

TWW starts tomorrow again for me, so so hoping this month is my month 🤞🏻

Kinsella82 · 16/02/2019 07:47

@FilthyforFirth yes it was bfn! Ah yeah I know there's still loads of time but it's annoying that I basically wasted a test - thankfully it was just an internet cheapie but still. This waiting is hard

Scottish1 · 16/02/2019 07:42

Hang on in there ladies! Not long now 😘

FilthyforFirth · 16/02/2019 07:28

Bfn @kinsella82? Dont worry, as you know it's too early, plenty of time to test still. Hard to resist I know!

FilthyforFirth · 16/02/2019 07:26

I'm 10 DPO, possibly 8 as I dont really know when I ovulated... Got a frer going to test tomorrow as I am like clockwork and tomorrow is 6 days before my period is due.

Are you going to test again @bluebell9 ?

Kinsella82 · 16/02/2019 07:22

I just POAS, WHY??? I'm max 6DPO, could be even less so why did I do that!!?Sad

Doris19 · 15/02/2019 22:53

@Scottish1 gotcha!! Absolutely, it can be our little secret 🤪

You're right...just got to strum up the energy!

Hope everyone else on this thread is doing well, lots of good OPK chat I can see here!

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 22:46

I’d say tonight @Doris19

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 22:44

Feel a bit like a traitor to the other thread but I won’t tell them if you don’t 🤣

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 22:43

😂 @Doris19 Thought I was in the wrong thread then 😂😂 Glad I’m not the only one who is obsessed!

Doris19 · 15/02/2019 21:50

Kidding myself that I'm being more chilled this month whilst surfing the conception boards and couldn't resist when I saw you doing the same @Scottish1 🤣🤣

So ladies, straight into the details...I got my peak CB smiley face on Wednesday morning, bd Tuesday night and Thursday night, would you bd again tonight and/or tomorrow morning ?? Help!

Age 36 (DH 42)
TTC #2
Cycle 3

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 21:35

Hi! @Niffler2019 Still younger than me! 😂 I hate that I am symptom spotting and googling everything! Feel like I’m getting my hopes up now and don’t want to!!!!

Niffler2019 · 15/02/2019 21:10

Hi ladies!

Can I jump in too?
I'm 35
TTC #2
1st cycle after coming off the pill recently. CD 8

Wishing you all lots of BFPs!!

It's very reassuring to see lots of 'older' ladies like myself here. I had convinced myself we'd left it too late to have #2 and our DD would be an only child. I've also been afraid of being the oldest mum at the school gates! 😂

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 20:53

Mild tugging feeling in lower abdomen 5dpo. Has anyone felt anything like this before? X

Bluebell9 · 15/02/2019 08:39

I took a test this morning and it was BFN. Only an internet cheapy though and only 8 DPO but i couldnt resist the urge to POAS!

LG0914 · 15/02/2019 08:10

My last period was 28th til 1st.
Clue says fertile window 9-14 and AF should start 27th.
The ovulation tracker on here says fertile window 7-11 and AF should start 25th.
Have always been alright with using clue but confused as to the difference in dates. But we have covered both windows dtd so I'm still hopeful!

LG0914 · 15/02/2019 08:03

@Scottish1 towards the end of fertile period- according to my app but I input the data on the tracker on here and it was slightly different so I'm not sure if 2ww starts today or it's already started.. it's so frustrating!

ale2992 · 15/02/2019 07:39

@Scottish1
I don't really know either way I just count it as time to DTD
