I am now 37 and have one beautiful 10yrs old boy, my partner has 2 boys 9 & 13yrs. I bought the Hertility kit online, not yet opened it… I was going to give this cycle my last attempt before investigating 🙃 We got pregnant a year ago but due to personal circumstances we both decided to not go ahead, this I carry so much guilt over 🪃 Now we are both ready and settled in our careers and home but now it has taken nearly 6/7cycles. today I got my 1st + ovulation test, so beginning our January TWW. what is everyone else’s story 🌟

I'm trying @curliegirlie, we know it could still happen but we both just have this gut feeling that it won't for us. We've got some more tests coming up so will see if we get some answers.

Period started today so letting myself feel shitty for the night before trying to be positive for the next cycle.

@SCK2024 I know exactly how you feel. Sending lots of hugs because it's horrible.
I tested negative this morning at about 13dpo. I've had some tears this morning and we've had a chat about the fact that it might not happen for us, if we don't fall this cycle then we're over a year into this now. We will still try but we think we need to be realistic.x

@ByJollyZebra the 12 month mark isn't the be all and end all (although it feels a shitty milestone to hit, as does the 2 and 3 year ones!!).... DD1 was conceived naturally 16 months/10 very random cycles into TTC, and DD2 only just hit the 12 month mark. Have faith xxx

@FlyHighSky72AF has just finished so will begin testing for ovulation again towards end of next week to help figure out my cycle.
Thank you, I will pop onto that thread x

Mummysparrow · 17/05/2025 10:35

@FlyHighSky72 yeah I am ok 13dpo and waiting for period to start tomorrow. Then I start all over again. Ok I will pop on to it 😁

FlyHighSky72 · 17/05/2025 10:20

@Mummysparrowand @SophieP89hope you’re well - I’ve made a June ttc thread if you want to join?

FlyHighSky72 · 17/05/2025 10:18

@ByJollyZebraand @SCK2024sorry to hear how your both feeling - me too, I’m 12 dpo period 1 day late and still a BFN! Waiting for AF to show is so painful

@ByJollyZebra
O haven’t had any experience myself with the running or used CB, just from what other ppl on the MN forums.
Keep testing! I have my fingers crossed for you?
what DPO are you?
I tested BFN again this morning. I think @ dpo 10 or 11 AF due next week.
feeling upset about it this month, it’s just so unfair, it must be coming as I’m feeling sensitive at the moment ✨✨

@SCK2024 I've been feeling sick this week but I'm sure it's all in my head!

I took this test today and I know its my eyes playing tricks on me and that I shouldn't even trust clear blue as I've been stung by them before but I kept thinking that I could see something. You'd think that I'd be better at seeing a negative by now!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Mismatc! X

Finally had an LH peak yesterday morning and my DH is unwell. He’s been unwell for a week and we haven’t had sex at all - I was so upset! We managed it this morning, bless him. We’re away with all three children sleeping in one room for the rest of the weekend so it was our one shot. My last two luteal phases have been 5 days or less. Fingers crossed it lengthens and our one opportunity worked 🤞🤞🤞

Getting myself ready for next cycle now - what OPKs do people recommend (I used the Premom app this month - but not the Premom OPKs!)

Same as you I use the app and the Flo app.
but love using the Premom more for the community questions and poll especially to upload your tests so I can see the lines clearly!
I use the easy at home from Amazon x

@SCK2024thanks for the poll - that’s useful! I know how you’re feeling, it’s so hard to keep the faith! I always think with stuff like this I’d be fine with getting a negative test if I knew that at some point before turn x age I will 100% get pregnant and have a baby! It’s just so stressful and I get so worried it’ll never happen

After getting a peak on 29th April, I was doing tests a few days ago but then AF turned up on monday which I was pretty relieved about to be honest as it is my first period since my miscarriage 8 weeks ago.
Feel I can start fresh from this cycle and track to see how long it takes to ovulate this time round!

Sorry it wasn’t your month 🌸
good luck this cycle though! ✨

@Mummysparrowthanks - sorry to hear you’re feeling down too! I’m so much more panicked being older than I was with my first (10 years ago different dad) - I conceived him second cycle

Mummysparrow · 15/05/2025 08:58

I am sorry @FlyHighSky72
I am looking forward to a margarita this weekend. I feel like it is needed. I really can't understand how I could conceive easily before my TFMR last May and now nothing. Hubby is trying to be positive and says it is cycle 1 since endometriosis was removed and c section defect was repaired. But I am finding it hard to focus on any positive.

FlyHighSky72 · 15/05/2025 05:44

Did my three different branded tests just now and absolutely nothing - not even a hint of a line so I’m out this month!

@SCK2024ive got three lined up to test with tomorrow morning 🙄😒🤦🏼‍♀️🤪#Desperate! A FRER, a clearblue 6 days early and a cheapy from Tesco (Tesco own brand) - tomorrow is 10 dpo so if there’s anything I should see it! Period due Friday so if I don’t see anything tomorrow I’m just going to see if my period comes. Meant to be going out for drinks Friday night so at least if my period comes I can relax with some alcohol!

@SCK2024i think if you’re peak was 4th may I’d say you’d ovulate 5th may (I know some people ovulate later than this!) so you’d be 9 - that’s how I’m measuring it anyway (I had a peak on the 4th too)

I thought I was at that too 🙌🏽 so good to know I’m reading it right.
are you using the 10miu tests? Or frer?

@SCK2024 at 10dpo. Myast 2 pregnancies (one resulting in loss) I got positives at 10dpo so I am making the assumption I am out. I have held on to hope before after 10dpo and got AF so no I am making the assumption I am out and preparing for next cycle. I am paid for hubby to get his sperm analysis done on Monday 😂

My other half has his beginning June too .. he isn’t too thrilled throwing one up in a pot 🫠🤦🏻‍♀️😂 needs must!
got my Hycosi 6th June too and o check my tubes.
dont rule yourself out just yet! I wouldn’t! Every pregnancy is different, holding out for some hope for you 🫶🏼✨
