Positive OPK today need a buddy 38-40s

[FlourishingMrs]

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

Maybe I should sell DP's bike

CD7. Started our eod for the month yesterday. Will try to stick to it until AF is in town or +HPT I hope. I'm no spring chicken, so we'll see if I manage. Dh is quietly optimistic. Youth and fertility is truly wasted on the young, how worried about unwanted pregnancies I was those many years!

I was going to start every other day today but bad day at work and DP is away until tomorrow. So will start tomorrow. I am on day 8/9 today.

Will try daily and have Monday off then daily until after opk. Then EOD until the end.

How are you doing ladies, day 12 Dpo here, DTD Friday night, Sunday Am and DP is away tomorrow. Flashing smiley on CB. Expecting positive Opk tomorrow or Tuesday. When is the best time to BD. Tuesday night or Wed Am?

Continue after Wednesday, flourishing, ov can happen up to 36-48 h after static smile. Mine is usually 2 days after. We are not doing as well as I'd hoped with our eod attempt, but haven't ovulated yet, so still in with a chance.

Hi all

CD9 here. I am envious of your daily and even EOD attempts flourishing and reni. We used to be able to do that no probs but we've turned into a once or twice a week couple, eek! Though do manage more in the hopefully fertile window. It's not enough really, but DH and I getting on!

Oh Dare, you are not getting on at all,just make sure you have some preseed to hand when you are not feeling up to it once you get started you will get In the mood and have fun.

It's like the washing up, once you start you get it done...

Ha! That's a good analogy Flourishing

Dare our eod is also more of a plan than reality. We do manage at least every third day, but I think we wouldn't had we not said eod.

Still, good going reni!

It's flashing smiley on CB, day 16, hope the solid comes today.how long do swimmers take to get to the egg?

First ones arrive after an hour, last ones after 12h. Live for a couple of days. Ovulation anywhere between 24 and 48 hours after static so get going and keep going .

We managed day 8 and then a gap through being exhausted, till last night which was day 13 when I got a positive OPK. So plan is tonight again, then DH is away Friday night so then Saturday. Then I'm away till Tuesday so will be then next time. This month is a bit tricky. Hopefully that might be enough.

Still flashing smiley on day 17,this is frustrating. Sneaked in BD this afternoon but has to go back into the office. felt the swimmers leaking out. We did take a shower. I take it this session won't count.

Positive solid smiley at last. Wish us luck.

Are you doing SMEP, fridge? Enjoy all the action, flourishing.

Yes reni, or trying to, anyway! About to haul DH off to bed for the second night running. Best of luck flourishing!

Flourishing, do you ovulate at the "regulation" cd14? I do cd9-14, very unpredictable, so never tried SMEP, might be too late to catch the egg. Also, do you give dh a schedule? I kind of do, long term ttc is weird.

Sorry, that should have been fridge

Manages to mix up even anonymous people online does it in RL all the time too

Thank you ladies, Reni the earliest positive opk has been on day 15 last month, otherwise it's around day 18.

No I don't give DP a schedule, he says he would rather feel I am desperate for his joystick than his swimmers. It works for us. I think he does like the pressure of performing on egg day and letting me down if we don't catch.

So if opk was positive last night, when should be the last day of catching egg?

How are you doing ladies? Are managing the every other day? TTW starts now for me.

Hi guys can I join please? Clinging to 39 by skin of my teeth and just started ttc number 2 although DS is only 9 months old. Crazy? Maybe! But aside from the fertility worries I don't want to be too much older than this with little kids. So knackering! We conceived him first time trying - very lucky - so I've basically DTD around the same CDs we did it when we got him. It was Christmas and we were travelling so I know exactly when we conceived him. Anyway if nothing happens I'll start using opks etc, though I suspect DH will be really turned off by that, which I also don't want for the sake of our relationship. It's a toughie. Am I mad to not leave it a few more months? I just get really spooked by the constant deluge of press articles about women leaving it too (so effing irritating they are - like most women decide to swan around the world thinking yeah I'll leave it til the absolute last minute when it's really hard to conceive to start trying ....) and by the big fat 40. Work would prob freak too but having a family is more important so they'll have to suck it up. I'd love DS to have a sibling very close in age too. I prob am mad though. Sorry for the tome x

Hi Putney, you are right to start trying now, are you breast feeding? If you are then it's best to stop so you fertility can return quicker. My DP would so totally turned off by opk etc so I don't involve him in that.

I have two children which I conceived really easily, I don't know if its the Mirena Hormones or the ripe age of 39 but we have been at it since January, using OPK since march. So prepare for it to take longer than planned.

My brothers are exactly a year apart and they are very close, They argue like crazy but will always stick together. Good luck and welcome. Don't worry about work, if they become less profitable they would make you redundant, so if family is important, get on with your new addition. Just don't expect the same promotion opportunities. Take satisfaction in your family achievements for now. I run my own business and have never taken excessive time off for babies, it works for our family.my children are very sociable and enjoy playing with other children.

Thanks Flourishing it's great to be able to discuss this with someone who has no vested interest in me getting preggers now, next year or never! I'm also glad to hear I'm not the only one that would rather bite the bullet and get it done close together than potentially face the heartache and regret of it never happening. The stupid thing is my mindset is also it like tto is cumulative! I know it only takes one time but I feel if I start now I'm starting the process! Weird woman!
