Congrars cookie!!
Cd13 here and still no signs of ov. It's usually happened by now. Thinking of cracking out the vitex to see if thst helps

Thanks ladies, I'm still stressing that it's not gonna stick but I guess not much I can do right now! Mellon hope you'll be joining me!

Hi Ladies, I (we) ttc conceive with 2nd baby. I'm 43, previous preg was 25years ago! ( I know, huge gap, got a gorgeous 24year old :) so, we made the right moves, sex in the run up to Ov, vitamins, folic acid and I think I'm 3dpo but few symptoms and nothing out of the ordinary. My temp went up from 36.5 before Ov to 36.8/9 since Ov 'normal'?? please share your early symptoms...I feel alone, excited,confused and just plain weird right now! lol :)

Congratulations cookie!

wimsywon The symptom I had during my only confirmed pregnancy was so severe as to lead to hospitalisation before I even knew I was pregnant so unfortunately I've got no useful symptoms for you to look out for. However fingers crossed for you.

ooooh @cookie That looks amazing!! so happy for you and positive thoughts being sent your way!

I was 2 days late this month so 30 day cycle and now going to look into IVF abroad (cost+need a holiday) any thoughts from anyone on where to start?

Congratulations cookie!

Please can I join you all? I'm 44, dd is almost 4, ttc #2. Last year I had a mmc discovered at 8wks and a few weeks later conceived again, all looked good until 12 week scan when lots of anomalies found and eventual Patau's diagnosis last May. I've had a couple of chemicals since then, but nothing else. Cycle still super regular and still ovulating, so I figure there's still a tiny chance of a sibling for my wondrous DD.

hello and welcome @Doradont

Welcome Dora.

Let's I wouldn't know where to start re: IVF clinics abroad, probably with Google bit I think I've read good things about a clinic in Czech republic and one in Poland, I think that one was in Gdansk which is right on the sea so you could've your beach holidays at the same time :) and I think someone has mentioned Spain as well. Sorry I can't be more specific :(

Wimsy I think 3dpo might be too early to notice any symptoms, maybe apart from temp difference but I never tracked mine so I wouldn't know. My only symptoms were sore boobs and the need for lots of olives with chilli but even though they both came early on it certainly wasn't as early as 3dpo.

Thanks all :)

Symptom spotting is fun and exciting but I wouldn't take anything seriously til at least 12dpo!

So I just did a sneaky test on my lunch hour but it showed as invalid!!!! Will wait until the morning. Still no AF.

Oh no Mellon, how annoying! Good luck for tomorrow!

Lets there was a really good thread on the Infertility board about IVF abroad, I'll try to find it and link it here.

Cookie congratulations

Mellon fingers crossed for you

There was this one:

How rude of it mellon! Hopefully tomorrow's test isn't of the same batch.

I've run out of ovulation sticks to fulfill my need to do a daily test at the moment. I have 5 or 6 pregnancy tests in (mix of supermarket and pound shop jobbies) but I have no idea if I've actually ovulated yet or if I'm anovulatory this month. Had, I would say, three darker OV tests in the last couple of weeks. First was 2 weeks ago, second was 11 days ago, the last one today. Currently CD30. Temps are not helping either but then the weather has been all over the place Phooey to it all right now. I'm going to work on my CV and then treat myself to some biscuits with an afternoon coffee

Cobgrwts Cookie.. that's a def bfp there!! x

Good luck Melon x

Welcome and baby dust wishes to wimsy & dora x

Cleo..thank you for your msg of encouragement. I'm currently on 2ww but not that hopeful as we didn't dtd enough really..but then it only takes once so we'll see!

Omg my rubbish phone. ..obv meant to type Congrats! Doh!

Welcome wimsy and dora!
Good luck mellon, I hope this is a lucky thread with lots of bfp's!

So, i'm still getting medium lines on opk's but no positive and no ewcm. It's unusual for me as when not in fertile time my opk's are usually stark white. I only ever see a line if it's building up to ov, however the line this cycle has been at the same level now (only getting slightly lighter) for 5 days in a row. I hope it is not the perimenopause rearing its ugly head again. I hate the stress of all this, I don't know weather to go full throttle or to just quit altogether. I just want things to be normal for once.
