Hoping for a 2020 baby here too!!
Currently have 1 DS (age 16mths) who was conceived after 5 cycles. We started trying at Christmas but then used protection for a couple of months, and then started trying again last month. I’m 41 in 3wks so feeling the pressure of my age!

Hey 👋🏽 can I join this thread please x thought I'd have a Xmas baby but AF decided to show today after a long cycle of 35 days 😑 and last month was 30 days 🤷🏽‍♀️

Here's to a 2020 baby 🤞🏼 for us all x

RudyRoo · 11/04/2019 08:42

@SquigglyOne yeah mine did too. It went from solid smiley to flashing to circle and then back to solid over the course of 5 days! 🤷🏼‍♀️
Haven't used them again since (that was 2 months ago) but I'm going to use them again this cycle and see what happens this time!

Robbo93 · 11/04/2019 08:27

Whoops sorry OP that was meant for @SquigglyOne x

Robbo93 · 11/04/2019 08:26

@mila1988 same cycle day as me, although I'm not tracking ovulation this month.
I only had the clearblue tests that went from empty circle to static smiley so can't help you there, but my static did seem to come out the blue and wasn't there 12 hours later x

SquigglyOne · 11/04/2019 08:02

CD11 and just got my peak on clear blue opk. I’ve not used these before so was surprised that I skipped the high fertility flashing smiley and went straight to peak. Anyone have any experience with these tests?

Robbo93 · 09/04/2019 17:18

CD9 for me, emotional and stroppy yesterday (poor DH!) and bad indigestion today. Grr not had these symptoms before x

You can’t start a hashtag with a number (misses the point)

BudgieBird · 09/04/2019 12:58

That's what I'm telling myself look on the bright side if I don't conceive in this cycle, which is coming to an end and will have a late December due date if we've been lucky - at least 2020 is a nice round number of a birth year! Grin

queenqueenqueen · 09/04/2019 12:56

Thanks @willowjasmine , just so desperate to get my BFP 😔

YouBoggleMyMind · 09/04/2019 10:05

Oh and I'm 31! Had DS when I was 30.

YouBoggleMyMind · 09/04/2019 10:04

Also will be TTC #2 next cycle. If we'd tried this cycle my due date would have been 25th Dec... Shock

DS is a December baby so keen to avoid another one too close by! I've started taking folic acid with vitamin d and evening primrose oil with vitamin e.

DS also took almost 3 years to conceive with a lot of rounds of clomid and metformin. I had no periods whatsoever so have provera to induce them. Since being pregnant my cycles seem to have returned on their own albeit not super regular, they are there which I'll take as a good thing!

RudyRoo · 09/04/2019 10:02

Hello ladies 👋🏼 I'd love to join in. Hoping this will help keep my sanity!

I'm 33 and have been TTC for 8 months since coming off pill. My periods have been all over the place, last cycle was 49 days and when AF finally came it was just basically spotting. Have gone to GP and have to get blood tests done on day 21 (in a couple of weeks) to see if I am ovulating properly.

Have just started taking Agnus Castus so hoping that will sort out my cycles!

Oh this TTC malarkey is a rollercoaster!

FirstTimeMama91 · 09/04/2019 09:57

Morning ladies can I join Smile

Suffered a miscarriage at the weekend when I was 7 weeks.

I'm 27 and got bfp 1st cycle ttc. That was my first pregnancy so it's tough coming to terms with what happened. Trying to stay hopeful and looking forward to starting ttc again once bleeding stops x

Willowjasmine · 09/04/2019 07:36

@queenqueenqueen please don't worry. It can be quite normal to ovulate later in your cycle which then gives you a later af or bfp. Or so I have read on these threads. Around the time we started ttc I had a 50 day cycle!

Good luck everyone!!!

Doris19 · 08/04/2019 11:00

Hi all, can I join?!
I'm TTC #2, cycle 6, age 37 🙀
Currently on CD1 as AF arrived today...
My cycles also went crazy as soon as we started TTC, and they are pretty long, 34-37 days last few months.

Going to try soy isoflavones this month, I just started a separate thread on that! Apparently nature's clomid...

mila1988 · 08/04/2019 09:37

So according to the OPK i am now fertile! woohoo! after 7 months of irregular periods I'm finally back on track!
@Paddypaws91 totally understand! I love that easy 2020 age thing! haha defo not weird, just part of the cool kids! :)
@RandomUsernameHere any update? sending loads of babydust your way!

Morning, I'll join this party as the April bus looks so much further ahead than my cycle!

I'm TTC #2, DS is 18 months old.
29 years old
Started trying in Nov 18, miscarriage in Jan 2019 with retained products. Finally got my BFN at beginning of March and I'm currently CD16 with a positive OPK yesterday along with my usual ovulation pains and EWCM.

I'm relieved my cycle seems to have settled back down after MC and also dreading the mental torture of more TWWs!

SquigglyOne · 08/04/2019 07:23

Hello - can I join?
I’m 28 ttc #1
CD 8

Had an early miscarriage at the end of February and this is our first proper cycle trying again. I fell pregnant the first month trying last time so really hoping this month will be the same 🤞

Paddypaws91 · 08/04/2019 06:47

Hello 👋

I'm 28, TTC #1, heading onto cycle 5. Just waiting for AF to rear her ugly head.

2020 has a lovely ring to it, will be super easy for people to work out their age too as they start to get older (I'm weird and think about things like that).

Lammoshay · 08/04/2019 00:50

Can I join ;)
TTC#1 cycle 4 coming up.
35yrs old and wanting a child- was hoping for 2019 bfp but 2020 sounds good x

RandomUsernameHere · 07/04/2019 22:35

@Willowjasmine still no sign of AF, maybe I didn't ovulate. Thought I did though because I also had lots of ewcm. Fingers crossed for you.

StormcloakNord · 07/04/2019 21:54

Can I join too? I'm not down with the lingo at all but this is our second month of trying so... cycle 2? And this is our second. I dont know what CD means but I'm 4DPO and period (AF?) is due a week on Tues!

Not sure what I have to add but first baby was a pleasant surprise so this is my first time actively trying so nice to chat it through Smile

Nevergiveup31 · 07/04/2019 21:52

Can I join please? I’m 31 ttc cycle 1! Hoping it happens quickly as my due date would actually be Christmas Day if I fell this quickly. Here’s to hoping though right.... x

GreatestShowUnicorn · 07/04/2019 21:49

Hi can I join I'm on cd 16. Donor imsemination on Saturday and think I ovulated today. I'm a gay single parent with an 8 year old already. I had one try at donor insemination back in August, which seemed to have work had really strong symptoms which then stopped on CD 27 and period showed up late on day 31.
