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 🌟

😂😂😂 don’t blame you! I bought 50 internet pink dye cheapies and have 2 clearblues and 2 Frers! Think that will last me a little bit! 😂😂 I managed to not use any expensive ones the last two cycles! Hoping they get used this cycle for the right reasons!! 😂x

I do for you too! You have plenty there! 😂

I used the first response 2/3days ago.

ill just get the cheapies today if I do… wasting wages on tests every month 🫠😂

I have my new batch of opk for next cycle already but hoping this is my cycle, especially as I went further lengths this time and used the fertility cups and BD 2days pre and post and on ovulation day ✨🫶🏼

Hiya @SCK2024when I get my peak I usually take ovulation to be 2 days later as this would be the latest time it would have happened so you are like 10DPO at the latest. Luckily for me I feel ovulation and from having my peak the longest time it took me to ovulate was no more than 24 hours and the quickest time it happened with a peak was 8 hours! So fingers crossed! X

Thankyou for your advice, I had been getting bfn 2/3days ago but AF due Monday but will have to wait and see not going to test now unless AF doesn’t arrive xx

Wanting everyone’s opinion please 🙏

screenshot are my OPK tests, the peak is a dried out test which has shown my highest but I wouldn’t suggest it actually is just because it’s dried out darkest.. but the one below it is equally as dark.

so if that is my peak (17th) would my ovulation day be estimated 19th (24-36hrs)

would that make me DPO 9/10?

AF due 1st April x

@SCK2024 hopefully it means something positive. I’m on CD4 now and my period is so heavy! Won’t be too long until fertile window! 🙏😆

Wishing you lots of luck this month! ❤️❤️❤️🤞🏼✨✨

Fab! How are you feeling? Exciting but scary time! Can’t win can you! I’m sure everything will be grand and will see your little bean on an ultrasound soon enough!

BabyBorn · 24/03/2025 14:24

Congratulations! How far are you?

Thanks. Only just over 5 weeks, found out at 3 weeks so time is going incredibly slowly!

Yes

BabyBorn · 24/03/2025 12:28

It doesn’t hurt but it is uncomfortable. Everyone Is different and I’ve always been a mard arse 😀

carolinep3 · 24/03/2025 12:11

Couldn't just read and run, acupuncture shouldn't hurt. I've had it a good few days for fertility purposes. It is a strange feeling, but really shouldn't hurt 😬

😆🤣😆🤣 OMG I didn’t even think of that! Hahahaha that’s hilarious!

I’ll keep you tuned in! 😂

You still should be covered! Least it was 3hrs before! The swimmer should be right up there waiting to give that egg a squeeze 😄

fingers crossed to both of us! ✨🤞🏼☺️

I used the pre mom app this week and uploaded my OPKs never done that before so a couple of new things I’ve tried this cycle.
