Starting a new thread in the hope we can keep each other updated, positive vibes etc 🤪😊

Just turned 44. Have a 4 year old DD.
TTC for 5 months.
Using OPK's
Cycles regular, 24days.

Trying the very other day approach but happy to hear what others did differently...
Trying to stay calm but time ain't on my side !

@kirinm totally with you on it dictating your life Confused
That's why for this next cycle I'm going to try and relax.
I kind of know I'm day 10 to day 14 ovulation , I'm a regular 25 day cycle

44 and have been trying for a second for years although stopped for quite a few months because I was beyond fed up of it dictating my life

I am 10dpo today but feeling very much like AF will arrive soon.

@Rainbows121 can I ask if you are using OPK's?

I don't know wether to give up on them and just relax, not test and go with the flow.
I never got a positive OPK before I conceived my DD1 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Rainbows121 @MaculataO here's to positive vibes for us all.

I'm actually not going to use the OPK's on this next cycle coming up...currently on the 2 week wait to AF!
I reckon I'm out again as ..,well OPK stick said negative say 10, positive day 12 and negative day 13....
We DTD day 11...and nothing else as DH was away with work so....

And I'm sick of testing at the moment and getting stressed out!

If it happens it happens
