@Honaloulou haha I know the feeling! Our society definitely teaches that the slightest mishap will definitely result in pregnancy when we are young….and it gives unrealistic expectations when we actually do want a conceive!

Honaloulou · 09/06/2022 06:17

Oh totally fine, thank you! This is only cycle one, and I just have unrealistic expectations as DD was conceived at first attempt!

TolkiensFallow · 08/06/2022 21:42

How are you doing @Honaloulou ?

Honaloulou · 07/06/2022 18:43

AF is due tomorrow, and I've just done a negative first response. Boooooo. Anyone want to join my pity party?

Honaloulou · 05/06/2022 18:25

Oh wow Tolkien! Congratulations!

I'll be testing on Wednesday if AF doesn't show up before then. I'm absolutely knackered which was my first symptom with DD, but I've had a shocker of a week so it might just be that.

TolkiensFallow · 05/06/2022 17:59

@Blueberryface thank you!!!

im slightly terrified now that it’s actually happened, I can’t quite believe it!

TolkiensFallow · 05/06/2022 16:44

@Blueberryface thank you!!! I’m utterly shocked! I came off the pill ten years ago and this is only the second time I’ve conceived!! I really thought I was barren and my husband had confused sperm!!!

TolkiensFallow · 05/06/2022 11:52

If anyone is still about… I’m in total shock.

DH is out.

Have to tell someone.

Happy Tears.

TolkiensFallow · 31/05/2022 18:57

Oh good luck everyone!

@Blueberryface well…we’ve not used contraception for probably 9 years! But actively trying for number 2 on and off for about 2-3 years…I probably should see a specialist but like things natural! I feel like at 38 it’s now or never though and the reality is that DD will be 6 by the time we have another so I’m also starting to worry that the age gap is too big.

all these things we find to worry about eh?

Flittingaboutagain · 31/05/2022 12:03

Yes I'm waiting to test. When I got pregnant with baby that made it here I didn't get a positive until two days late, so even on CD27 I got a negative PGT. My period is also due on Friday.

Good luck everyone!

Blueberryface · 31/05/2022 08:55

TolkiensFallow · 15/05/2022 21:32

I’m CD9, 38yrs and very much losing hope…but I’ll join…nice to have company 😀😀

Sorry to hear you're losing hope :(
Can I ask how long you've been trying? x

LilyDaniels · 31/05/2022 08:54

@blueberryface last month I had a solid smiley for two days, so I would have thought so?
This month im on cycle day 22 and have had 8 days of flashing smileys! My partner has been away since last Wednesday, so no hope for me this month ☹️
These ovulation tests drive you crazy!!

Blueberryface · 31/05/2022 08:50

allthingssparkly · 22/05/2022 09:06

Oh no @Flittingaboutagain sorry to hear that. Hopefully you are still in with a chance though having done 5 times in your FW.

Are you waiting until your period is due to take a pregnancy test?

I'm doing okay thank you, 2dpo today hoping the TWW flies by 🤞

Mine due end of this week, this time i am waiting to see if my period arrives before taking a test as I get so excited taking a test and then its negative so going to wait it out and not put emphasis on the test :)
Fingers crossed for all 💖

Blueberryface · 31/05/2022 08:47

Does anyone take ovulation tests?
They are supposed to show your 2 most fertile days however one day I was positive for ovulation and the next I wasn't. if they are meant to show your most fertile days (between the next 24-48 hours for ovulation) should they need be positive for 2 days?

Morning all 😊

I'm 12dpo and will be testing this week, AF due Friday.

I'm on day two of mild lower back pain 😬

Good luck ladies if your testing soon 🤞

TolkiensFallow · 31/05/2022 07:45

Anyone had any luck? I’m due on Thursday but all the signs are that AF will arrive as normal …

Honaloulou · 23/05/2022 21:03

Ov day is Wednesday for me (according to my app, my cycles are long but regular).

We can only DTD Tuesday and Wednesday this week because of work, so you think that gives us a chance?

TolkiensFallow · 23/05/2022 19:43

According to OPKs I generally ovulate around CD12/13. We’ve done, CD9, 12,13, 15 & 16…but just going to keep going as I know I conceived very late with DD…. It’s going well though…so who knows!

Hello, not so good here. My husband and I had an unrelated row then he felt under pressure so we missed two days of my FW so far! Have had sex five times in my FW but wanted to do every day. Because I have no idea when I ovulate (years ago I never once got a positive on opk but consultant confirmed I ovulated so don't bother) I just need to have sex a lot until my period!

How about you?

Yeah I do too @Curlywurly3 🙈🙈 keep telling myself not to stress but it's so easy to do so when you know what you want to be happen!

Fingers crossed anyway 🤞

Curlywurly3 · 18/05/2022 10:20

@allthingssparkly that's good going! I actually find the FW more stressful than the TWW!

Original poster
allthingssparkly · 18/05/2022 10:05

Thank you @Curlywurly3

So far we've done CD6,8,10,12 & 13.

Only the last two of those days above are within my FW though so going to try and do the next two nights consecutively either that or every other so cover all bases🤞🤞

I'm expecting to ovulate a similar time to last cycle which was CD16.

Good luck to you!
