Positive OPK today need a buddy 38-40s

[FlourishingMrs]

Hi I am nearly 40, positive opk today,need a TWW buddy

How are you ladies doing? Day 33 here BFN no AF

Bad luck flourishing, wonder where AF is? She turned up for me on Thursday. Back on the chain gang.

But keep it up bec

Hya Girlies, fridge what a bummer, and flourishing no show is always a hopeful thing! strange month over this way CD18 for me and I think I got a pos OPK last night/early morning, so it's later than I had thought being that CD16 I O'd last month.
I've had a terrible bug passed on from my BFF and her kids, my house has been dropping like flies, it was my turn yesterday and today but I still told him to go for it just not to rock me to much so I don't vomit rofl ????
I'm just wondering if I have my normal 28/29 day cycle I'll have only an 8-10 day LP which isn't great for implantation.
Sometimes too much knowledge about a thing can be a curse ????

XX tell me about this nasty cold, DP and I have suffered heavily. I maybe able to get out of bed today. CD35 and the Witch is here. So the late surge on CD22 was right. that gives me a 12 day Luteal Phase.

I am stating to feel disillutioned. I suppose its nice to have a week of no presure. No tests etc. dont now if to carry on temping. I did it last month of Glow, FF and Ovia.Sorry Fridge this witch stops at nothing

what new things should we try this month ladies, less DTD?

I hate feeling rough! You forget how amazing a feeling it is to be healthy lol
I think I might have O'd today which hopefully will still give me at least 10day LP.
Iam gunna start P testing from 5 DPO lol
I know your not a fan flourishing of the preseed but I deffo recommend the conceive plus I've been using, it's not slimy or squelchy at all very natural lol and it comes in single internal one use squeezey tubes!
Also are you in a financial position to try that stork conception aid out?
I think that they expensive and they recommend that you buy 3 (they are £99 each but I think you get 20% after you buy the first) and you use them for your 3 most fertile days of the month.
You know your chart so well I think they are worth a one month trial?
heres the link to the website I found , I thought it looked really promising!

It was interesting watching the vid and really I can't see why you couldn't re-use it aslong as you cleaned it properly lol

I love you Xxbec.. Just seen the video and yes I will order it all this week. Sounds like a good trick. How did you DH feel about it? DP thinks his swimmers are as athletic as he is. Very light AF again. Very frustrating, I think Mirena has lots to answer for.

Lol flourishing, I'm still just trying the cheap way for now! Month 2, O'd on day 20 which I found surprising. I'm 4 DPO right now and I'm gunna start testing from tomorrow lolol
We've got kids so I don't think that there's an issue with the swimmers, I stumbled across the stork kit trying to find those viola super early pregnancy tests, and thought wow!
To be honest tho anything which made conception quicker would interest him greatly as I'm like a demon possessed at the minute rofl

How you guys getting on x

Cd day 6 here, cold/flu is easing off. DP was missing DTD so we got started last night. I have not been temping the last few days due to illness. Wondering if to just take it easy this month and only use OPK.
Funny we both Ovulated later this month. I think you will have your BFP this month.

You make me laugh, I have used Viola, they say 8 days after conception. Not the day after Xxx. Why don't we find out how we could do our own home blood test?

Rofl flourishing sounds like a plan we can be each other's nurse!
Funny tho I've been doing some research and there's a lot of talk of using blood on pregnancy tests and as the hcg gets into the blood first before being filtered into the urine there's a lot of reason why is would potentially work!
Check out this link www.aliem.com/trick-of-the-trade-urine-pregnancy-test-without-urine/ interesting read.

Also on another note I'm DPO 5 according to FF however as I was ill over my + OPK (illness with high temps) there is a possible chance I'm 7DPO.
I took an early (10miu) test this morning and I swear I can see something???

I've heard of evap lines, what do you think???? Surely not this early???

One is a normal camera shot the other is in Noir.

Same picture only darkened.

I think I see a line, I see it, I see it but 7DPO? But then implantation can happen from day 3 so it's possible.

Oh Xx this could be it? Let me read the blood test stuff. Can you cut yourself and deep a FRER into the blood? Ok maybe that's a bit extreme

Lmao flourishing people are using a FRER and dropping a few droplets of blood at the base then dipping it in wee lolol

It's too much to hope for it to be pos, if you need me I'll be in the bathroom self harming roflrofl

Hello to all newcomers and old hands. Sorry for the radio silence, been on holiday and forgot my password and the password for the email account I used, too. So this is reni1 under a totally different account, which I forgot and now remembered years later. Don't ask. How is everyone?

Hello Reni, Lovely to have you back, I hope you have had a great holiday.
A lot has happed in your absence.

I have not been charting since AF, currently on CD8. I will start tomorrow morning. that said I had a nearly positive OPK with wee which is less than 30 minutes. tested for fun after spotting stretcy CM. Weird this early as I normaly O on day 18, last month was day 22.

Hya Reni nice to see you, how've you been doing trying wise?

Here's a pic of today's test (DPO 7) flourishing I think it's a little stronger but wondered something to myself, if those internet cheapies are 10miu, and you can see a minuscule line does that mean I should be over 10miu at present or do you think when you are 10miu you'd get a strong line?

I won't believe it until I have a + FRER which I haven't tried yet as I know they are around 10-20 if I remember rightly.

In a way I wish I hadn't done the test now as if it doesn't stick I'll be heart broken, I've had 3 MC's at various times in the past so I always have that niggle until the 12wk scan!

Oh and flourishing that's all urine no blood rofl!

No idea on the lines on the internet cheapos, Xxbec, I no longer test, I remember them quite unreliable, but others found them spot on. Another couple of days and you should be able to tell, fingers crossed.

I have not been temping for two months, will start again now. I am cd22, round about 10-12 dpo from experience, but did not record the month. Will start again with AF. No symptom spotting at all, too busy holidaying then the back to school stress started. Dtd was slightly hampered by children awake at all hours in the holidays combined with somewhat communal sleeping arrangements .

XXbec I think a line is a line, if it does not stick ( Which it will) at least you will know that Hubbys swimmers still fancy your eggs. Sounds bad but actually at this rate even one that tests positive will be something. As DP has no DC and mine are with ex not so dear DH. I worry that maybe be we are not compatible.

Why not try a Viola tomorrow? in terms of reliability the internet LH test have been more consitent with me than CB although I still keep the CB to confirm. However it always shows solid later than the cheapies. Sorry about the sleeping arrangments Reni. Next time do it in the afternoon and send kids to kids club. I am tempted to not bother with OPK or Temping this month but I could pee on anything me...

Flourishing next holiday this whole thread will be either pregnant or breastfeeding, surely?

I have a FRER from last month tucked up on the bathroom shelf and I'm planning on using it on the 10th which before my late O that was my original proposed 1st day of AF, where as now FF says test on the 15th.

Pregnancy for me has mostly always been a very fearful time as I mentioned I have had 3 missed miscarriages so I know that sometimes with other woman no blood means everything is going well, not for me unfortunately, as soon as I get my strong positives I'll book into Baby Bond for a reassurance scan!!

I know what you mean flourishing about the incompatibility issue my friend I believe very much so has that with her spouse, she's had kids before and so had he but together it took them 6 years to have the 1st.
However they have managed to squeeze a total of 3 out in their 15 years So there's always deffo hope if that does turn out to be an issue., have you done the fertility checks?
You can get pretty good, reliable ones online these days just to cover the bases.

Tell me about it Reni we have the baby still in with us lol does definitely pose a multitude of problems lol

Wait for AF and get back on course, I have the fertility friend app which I find really handy, always have my phone to hand so I can chart everything!

Wouldn't that be something is the next summer coming we would be posting baby pics and talking sleep deprivation and the complete lack of desire for DTD lol

Very true ladies, next summer we will dieting, losing sleep with our other halfs wondering what happened to their very indulgent ladies.

At nearly 40 XXbec I don't have 15 years. However it's flashing smiley on CB today. I hate the flashing Smiley... It can last days

AF due day after tomorrow, but I've started on the red wine tonight, I am sure she's coming. Not enough, ahem, action this month. Then AF week, this month without grumping and back to dtd week. Will start to temp again, too and chart on FF. Wonder if I've still got the password..

I just woke up, thought I heard someone knocking at the door! Lol
Needed a wee and thought oh sod it 4.30 in the morning I can't be collecting wee now and dipping sticks, so I did my FRER and its positive!!!
Still obs faint but it came up straight away!!
That's it now I'll be the FRER junkie and have to do one every defendants to watch to see if they get stronger
