Over 40 ttc - August baby dust for me!

[Orchid222]

Ladies, here's our 2nd summer thread :)

Oh fingers crossed for you Weasle 🤞 xxx

AF due today and no sign apart from slight pain in lower right side which I get on and off since MC, trying to avoid (I say trying - it's not even 8am)testing due to bfn other day, argghhh I hate it when it can be just a longer cycle. Changed vits to pregnacare normal ones so maybe that's affected cycle... let's see how long I manage to not test . Well at least it's sat and if it comes for me as a softner! Good luck to everyone else in waiting hell!! xx

2ww starts today for me. CP last month so not sure what to expect, temps on Ava bracelet are all over the place this month but natural cycles basal thermometer and OPK tests suggests ov happened.

@Weasledee that does look positive to me 🤞
This cycle for me seems never ending as I ovulated 5 days later than normal so I’m only dpo 4. Hoping to hold off poas until next Sunday but I doubt I will be able to wait that long. Also I have spent the last 4 days feeling really sick in the morning, I know it’s too early to be thinking about symptoms but you never know. 🤞🤞

weasledee keeping fingers crossed that your line gets stronger.

Dinah99 I was due yesterday and my cycles haven't exceeded 28 days for yonks. We've been away the last week so trying to now work out if I can get somewhere today to buy some cheap tests as don't feel very af due at all. I am trying to remember how I felt in the early stages with dc1&2 but can't!!

Fingers crossed for you weasle! I always go back to tests hours (and days) later too. You never know what you may find!

AF arrived for me yesterday as predicted, so my temp would have risen on the first day I didn't take it, meaning we dtd at the wrong time anyway.
Started using ava bracelet and liking all the stats!
Good luck to those waiting to test and those in fw

Cleo, if this works (fingers crossed) it's down to you and your suggestion of second ovulation!! I'd have never have thought of doing another opk on the evening I did!!

@mondaycando1 exciting! Get those sticks! Everything crossed for you xx

Lovely albeit faint line there @weasledee 🤞

Thinking of you all and hoping BFPs for you.

We are still in a potential fertile period (according to Ovia) but since my last cycle was a week too long I'm not sure! There is ewcm so we are trying every couple of days. Will see what happens in two (or 3) weeks time!!

Weasle have you tested again today?

No cleo, on holiday so no sticks!! Typical! Going to go the supermarket tomorrow

let us know how you get on!

You lot will be the first to know! (after DH of course )

weasledee hope you get to the shops tomorrow!!

I failed to get to shops today and with dh work and kids (who can read shopping basket contents & ask questions etc!) around til back to school, think it'll be Wednesday before I get more tests and that'll be cd34 so should know then for sure, or not. Picked up the lidl weekly flyer today and its full of maternity and baby stuff, so want to be able to look at that meaningful along with the rest of you.

Fingers crossed for you weasledee.
I'm pretty sure I'm out. CD29 of 31/32 day cycle, and BFN. Pretty sure with my other pregnancies that I got BFPS by now. Just waiting for AF now so I can get on with next month.
Weirdly been having super vivid dreams every night for the past 3 nights. Really odd ones too.

Am out, stupid body. Where's the September thread?!

Just did FR bfn.... then wiped and here comes AF... well there's a fiver down the loo! @weasledee having studied the test willing a line and seeing stark white you should feel very positive about your line. Hope you and @MakeAWhish get your bfps. I'm out! 2 days late grrrr... xx

@Dinah99 hoping September is your month. Console yourself with a nice roast dinner and

Hi ladies sorry for the bfn's.... :(

We only got back late so off to the shops later today, I do feel sick but I don't know if it's psychological.....

Thanks that's kind @MakeAWhish, I'd just started to believe I was in for a bfp, it's a bit gutting but we all know about that and just got to get on to hoping for September. Yes & a roast is a good call wish it was the evening then it would be xx

@Dinah sorry that af has arrived. Ive tested on the day she appears and its like a double blow.
Best of luck @weaseldee.
Im still lingering in the background. We've settled into our new home and I've been more relaxed in the past few weeks than I have been in the past 2 years...here's hoping this mindset bears fruit, as such. I'm now CD 29, knowing for sure I ovulated 2 weeks ago today. Other than a twinge in the sides and tender boobs I've no sign of af nor a bfp. I've no tests in the house, though having tested earlier in the week I got solid bfns. I probably have invoked the witch having had this chat with dh and posting on here 😏

Sorry for the BFNs 

@weasledee still waiting and hoping.

Just checked in with my Ovia app. I put in a few details from yesterday and today and it's completely changed when it thinks I'm ovulating. Before, it said it would be this Tuesday. Now it says it was yesterday!!!!! Not helpful when DH is working late tonight and out early in the morning!

We DTD on Thursday. Will try to pin him down during the night, poor fella. Am clueless as to when it's actually happened.

I started a shiny new month thread for us all www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/3354059-Over-40-ttc-September-must-be-our-month I will try and post the list tomorrow x

Monday thanks for the new thread but each thread's limit is 40 pages and we normally go to that before moving to a new one so we can keep going with this one for a while longer. I don't mind anyway, happy to move to the new one just thought I'd mention there's still space on this one.

@Orchid222 yup we normally hit about 999 on this one 🤦‍♀️🤣
