Positive OPK today need a buddy 38-40s

[FlourishingMrs]

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

Been, not bed!

Arg, short not ahort. Bloomin iPhone.

Another 9 days to go until either bfp (unlikely) or some red wine (very likely).

Af here. Sorry I couldn't stick around to follow you guys through. Short lp.

Sorry about AF, auto. Wine, cake, start again, groundhog day. Good luck next month, maybe your LP will become longer with the progesterone pills now.

8dpo. Are we nearly there yet?

Sorry about that auto. I'm only 2 dpo but v unlikely to have any luck this month due to insufficient 'activity'!

At guys. My AF is being weird so not sure if I'm coming or going.

Insufficient activity is rubbish. I have no words of wisdom to share on that front alas. Except maybe you iced much earlier or later than you thought and caught an egg? clutching at straws

Sorry that should have been "thanks guys" not "at"

Sorry auto, stay positive. I am sure the new regime will help.

Rene1, 8 days Dpo I am trying very hard not test or symptom spot. I have carried on with gym and occasional beverage.

I am mentally prepared for the witch. We did 3 morning from positive opk and no night time, so maybe not enough. Especially as I went to the gym after one of those. ah well...

I don't test anymore, flourishing, gives me more time to pretend this month is THE month. 11dpo here, still 4 to go. 1 week grumping, 1 week humping, 2 weeks waiting and hoping. Then AF, start again has been my routine for so long now.

Dare, you must be a week into the 2ww now?

Not testing is a good idea,I am the opposite, I think if I test early, see the negative then I don't get so annoyed when AF shows up.

Managed to resist this morning, used opk instead. Faint lh line on Internet cheapie.

Hi team, the witch got me yesterday, 3 days early

Yep, AF is in town. CD2. Sorry she came to haunt you too, Flourishing. Back to a few days of grumping.

Hi reni, sorry I missed your post from the other day.

Commiserations all.

I think this is my worst cycle yet since coming off the pill! Starting spotting on Day 21 (was supposed to have my Day 20 test the day before, but I couldn't make it to the hospital). I thought there was no point having the test on Day 21 after that, as I thought my period had come.

No proper AF yet, just four days of spotting. Dr Google says this is most probably low progesterone related.

sigh

Where's the Prosecco??

Prosecco? I'm ready to hit the gin bottle, dare.

Tequila slammer with a whisky chaser?

Well, decided to throw a suprise cocktail party for DP, next weekend so will drink ...very lightly(lies)

That would work, dare. Went for wine in the end. You plastered tipsy yet, flourishing?

Not yet will start tomorow

Funnily enough, by random twist of events I actually AM drinking Prosecco tonight!

Had the most pathetic AF this cycle. Four days of spotting, one day of possibly a real period but not enough to merit a tampon. Followed by another day of barely there spotting. All 3 weeks after the last period.

Am 38 and been TTC and off the pill for six months now, but I have to say, I have reached the fed up stage. Have never had a child, so don't even know of I'm capable of one. But going by my full 5 day periods and previously abundant ewcm, I'd say maybe I was once but now, not so much.

Feeling a bit despondent

(Sorry - probably the prosecco talking.)

Slinking back in to say AF got me yesterday. Day 27 of this cycle. Hmph. Commiserations to everyone in the same boat.

Commiserations, fridge. New month, new attempt. Dare, I get the "we have left it too late" panic every month with AF. Most women I know well enough to ask took a year to conceive, even when much younger, but they did end up with babies, and you will, too I hope.

This month we will try EOD from end of AF til AF or +HPT, that's what we did when I did get pregnant resulting in a baby, admittedly 7 years ago. Stuff this timing of DTD. At it like rabbits is the order of the day.

Thanks Reni. You're right. Six months isn't all that in the scale of things. I just wish my AF was looking a bit healthier. I must be struggling to build up a good lining at the moment, with such scant periods. Am considering making a dietary change this month to see if that helps. Keep talking the talk about trying a no dairy, no gluten month, but so far, it's just been talk!

Keeping chin up though. Back in the saddle etc.

Commiserations fridge. Onwards and upwards.

Hi guys! Just wanted say that I know it's hard trying for a baby and not conceiving quickly. We're also trying for #2 and had gone through 2 mc since November. Strangely after my first mc I got pregnant again after my first af.
You mentioned not much ewcm. Well.... I'm almost 37 and after my 2nd mc I can say I don't have as much ewcm either. We use pre seed to help the swimmers.

My ovulation day changed as well so I'm using opk this month to pinpoint it better. I had a faint second line ob cd7,8 9 and none on cd10 but came darker today so we dtd every other day to improve chances.
Started on maca root both of us so hope it helps. Also eating all sorts of food that helps ttc. What more can we do? :)
Sticky dust to you all!
