TTC #1 over 35

Hi, I've read the pre ious messages and see people talking about increasing EWCM, and taking b6.
My
Prenatal vitamin doesn't seem to have b6 in, and I'm taking coq 10 for egg quality being over 35 can I take b6 as well? I don't seem to have a lot of ewcm anymore as I did when I was younger?

So sorry you had to go through this too & for your MMC ❤️ I’ve started bleeding today, I think I was just worried it could take weeks or was ectopic due to the pain in my side, but getting there now. Really needed to dig myself out of a mumsnet rabbit hole, not gonna lie!

Good luck to everyone this cycle! Looking forward to reading all your posts ❤️

It is just one from Amazon - randox health AMH test. I don't know how accurate they are, decent reviews from most. Just to give it a go.

I didn't know you can link bbt to your Apple Watch?!! I've just purchased a basal thermometer from Amazon

@Clara202 After my first MC, I started filling out my period apps (and eventually BBT when I started that, though I've only tracked BBT 3 times) as I realised there are things my body does around ovulation or before a positive pregnancy test that I can look out for.

I had a high reading (flashing smiley) on Clearblue digital on CD11 (nothing on OPKs), and peak on both Clearblue digital and OPKs on CD12. Ovulation is usually 12-24 hours after peak, and I have a suuuuper fast peak, but it doesn't determine how fast the egg is released. Based on all my other cycles and my luteal phase, I'd say CD13 was ovulation day. My EWCM dried up after that, so that's a pretty good indicator. Fertility Friend is designed to look for temp raises after a peak, and there was one the next day rather than staying at baseline, so it out ovulation on peak day. I had to change it manually.

I do like BBT tracking. I set up my Apple Watch to do it, so no effort on my behalf, and I like looking forward to seeing what my temp does each day. Makes me feel like I've got something to see each day of the TWW!

Would you mind sharing this please? And how accurate is it? I’m slightly older than you and also worried I’ve missed the boat!

Hi, I'm 37 and on my 4th cycle of ttc my third.
I'm so scared I've missed the boat, being older now!
I've just ordered a test off of Amazon to test for egg reserve.

Thank you so much @Screenburn @BabyTin2025 @Clara202

@Clara202 On my BBT chart below, if you click on it, it shows all the days we DTD with a black X 🤭 I don't bother logging it whilst I'm on a period, but the rest of the month is accurate.

Huge congrats @KittyFantastica 👏
so pleased for you! Xx

Oh @KittyFantastica so pleased to see this. Tentative congrats and keeping everything crossed for you!

Thank you @MrsH26 @BabyS2025 @thejadestoneandthedragon

It's significantly lighter than the 9DPO positive FRER I had with my son, so I'm tentatively hoping for some nice progression. My other two pregnancies were both very slow starters, so it makes me nervous. My 6 week loss never really developed past 12DPO and my 9 week loss didn't develop well until 17DPO; I could only get visible lines with SMU!

Tentative congratulations for you @KittyFantastica I have everything crossed for you

Congrats @KittyFantastica

And FWIW if I got that line on a frer I'd be happy! 😅 you're still testing early remember! Dont be hard in yourself 🥰

Omg congratulations @KittyFantastica, keeping everything crossed for you and sending all the positive vibes your way ✨️ 🥰

Thank you @HollyGolightly4 It's been an intense morning. I've been very tearful in the last few days, so maybe it's been hormones ramping up.

Does anyone here track BBT? I use Fertiloty Friend and linked it to my Apple Watch and I've just noticed my resting heart rate gradually increased as well, which is interesting.

Oh @KittyFantastica I'm crossing everything for you. That mixture of fear and elation- so powerful.

I've had mild cramping, fatigue and had sensitive boobs yesterday, which is really unusual for me. I also woke up with mild cramps today and back ache, so tested this morning, 9DPO.

The lines came up straight away, though awkwardly, the FRER is pretty much negative. I stood in the bathroom for a good five minutes staring at it in shock and fear. I'm elated, obviously, but so, so frightened. I'm 36, this is my fourth pregnancy and I have, as yet, no living children.

Wishing you lots of luck for this cycle! It’s difficult not to symptom spot isn’t it? I’m doing ok thank you - just trying to stay calm and relaxed during the 2ww. X

Haha this was me, super chill and then suddenly reading into and downloading everything 😆 Am currently using OPK after telling myself I wouldn’t. They’ve been useful though for showing me the app I was using last month was off (so basically wasn’t doing the deed at the right time in December at all 😒)

Not at all @HollyGolightly4 I completely understand and agree with your sentiment about it! Sorry if I wasn't clear either, I meant that I feel the same, but have to remind myself that, having already had three pregnancies, I know that those with children may have had traumatic experiences too. It's so hard not to resent people, so I try to remind myself they might be in a similar boat with complications.

One of my friends has had five miscarriages, including a termination for medical reasons, before and between her two living children. No one else knows, so outwardly she looks like a very lucky lady, but inwardly, I know she still mourns all of those babies. She has a ring with all seven of her babies birth stones on it, but to anyone else it just looks like a pretty ring.

Sorry, I realise that my post might have come across as a little callous. I didn't intend it to. I'm just struggling a bit! To be clear, I meant those with living children, who seem so casual about it (apologies if this isn't the right place!) you're right @KittyFantastica though - I shouldn't assume. I'm on CD 22, 4 dpo (I think) and feeling a bit emotional!
