Come wait with me - July onwards

Oh and DP is happy to have sperm analysis but I don't know where to start? What is the recommended facility to do so apart from NHS? We'd need to expedite the process as I'm 39 in six months!

I really have no clue. My ovulation date tallied up with the CM I was having and other symptoms, and I looked over the OPK from the date I should have ovulated by period arriving.

I've just done a Boots and Easy@Home and both are negative. I think I just had some really bad luck with evaps and symptoms (I need to remember my periods are only now just becoming regular again) rather than anything else. It's disheartening and I think I'm going to take TTC off the table next month, I'll track temp and OPK for data purposes but unless I've got some real hard evidence of pregnancy (eg missed period 12-14 days post ovulation) then I am not going to test. Would save me a fortune too!

@HavinKittens my husband is really really not keen 😄 I made him go when he first proposed because I've always wanted kids, feel like it's my life purpose, I'm never happier than when I'm with my daughter etc, and it said his sperm is ok but not amazing. Then his test results arrived almost the same day as I tested positive with my daughter. And now he's saying he will maybe go in winter if we're still struggling. It's the middle of summer now though!

@PollyDarton1 oh no that's so confusing!! Strange either way - early for period but also if you're pregnant why didn't the tests continue and if they're evaps why so many 🤔 are you feeling any better?

Is anyone else's husband difficult to persuade to go for a sperm analysis 😂? He says he finds it embarrassing but surely at the grand age of 31 you'd just... be a big boy and stop caring what complete strangers, who are either doctors / nurses who do this daily or other patients in the waiting room, think?

Hey all, sorry I've not been around last couple of days, I felt rotten and now DP is feeling unwell too!

Definitely not pregnant, I did a Boots test yesterday morning which had nothing, and I think I'd be around 12-13DPO now. I might do another this morning just to defo rule out but I carried on very slightly bleeding across 5 days (ending Weds) so I'm sure as I can be that it was just a period. Strange that it happened like 6 days past ovulating but maybe I didn't ovulate then at all. I haven't a clue.

My boobs are still sore and I feel cramping/pinching a bit but more that likely left over hormones from period. Honestly could have sworn I was pregnant, I felt identical to how I did when I had DS! That said, could have been a chemical and the weird lines (which I think were evaps now though) could have picked up something very early?

@HavinKittens did you play together as children with the sibling 4 years older? I mean like 2 and 6 or 4 and 10, that kind of age. Or was the gap too big at that age?

I have a sister who is 27 months older and we're super close, played together all our childhood so maybe that's skewing my perception of things. Also a brother 6 years older, we're close now but felt like we were always at different life stages when we were kids

@HavinKittens maybe it's all very silly calculating - some people are super close with an 8 year age gap (my best friend and her sis) and some twins can't stand each other so... 🤷🏻‍♀️

@HavinKittens looks like we will be TWW buddies as pretty much ovulating on the same day!

@HavinKittens same with my baby girl when I got pregnant 2 years ago!

Also that's another reason I'm getting concerned - I wanted them to have a small age gap (like 2 years) but she's nearly 18mo. Should have started trying earlier!!

Morning everyone! CD15 today, did a strip OPK out of interest this morning and it was even more positive than yesterdays, also loads of EWCM so I'm now wondering if I'm still yet to actually ovulate. We DTD yesterday and looks like we'll need to again tonight 😅

That was kind of our situation this month: DTD wed, thu, fri, sat, then missed Sunday, and again DTD Monday. Ovulation was Monday (or maybe sunday 🤷🏼‍♀️) so if it was Monday I feel like we missed the most important day!

BFN this morning, 12dpo, guess I'm out this month. But then if ovulation was Monday then it's 11dpo only 🤞🏼

Fingers crossed for you!! Will he be out late?

@LA7887 could your ovulation dates be wrong and could you be more dpo than 6?

@HavinKittens Yeah I might get boots as people seem to be favouring them just now and wait til it's more realistically going to show x

@LA7887 good luck 🤞

@Kellyaust it defined had colour which is why I was confused. My ovulation test was also strong the same day.

That was just my nail that made the mark on the other test.

As I said I'll wait for a week and see how we go. Feeling very bloated and an upset tummy which was how I found out about my first x
