Hi all, I have just turned 39, and have 2 daughters from my previous marriage, aged 6 and 9. I am in a very happy long term relationship with my partner who is 32. We have just started TTC'ing for a baby. My third, his first. Anyone else in a similar situation?
I believe I should be ovulating today or tomorrow (On CD17 of a 32/33 day cycle) but no positive OPK yet. Worried my eggs have dried up! Wink

Not surprised @makeawhish hope all goes well. Have you been feeling ok!?

Yay @lattelover12, good luck and don't symptom spot too much.

Look forward to everyone else news!!

I'm good, dtd three days before ovulation and three days after but that's as close as we got this month. So not trying and definitely missing that very short window! HmmWink will let you know if I ever have any news! Lol

MakeAWhish · 31/12/2018 09:16

@LatteLover12 I love a symptom spot! What DPO are you? Any symptoms so far?
@Bloodylegoeverywhere well, you never know! 3 days after was prob too late but 3 days before could clinch it.
Been feeling absolutely exhausted! I really miss feeling energised. But apart from that, all ok. Some nausea but nothing horrendous. The first trimester just goes soooo sloow

Morning! Happy New Year 🥳

Symptoms so far are not v conclusive. Tired/sore boobs/some cramping.

I think I’m only 7dpo though so still time yet!

What were your first symptoms @MakeaWhish?

This is my chart so far...

MakeAWhish · 01/01/2019 10:35

Charts looking nice!
I had sore boobs straight after ov which continued and I've still got em! Also had pulling pains in my abdomen. These were the only physical symptoms I had before my BFP (at 10dpo) After BFP some light cramping, veins showing in boobs, sore boobs... nausea etc didn't kick in til about week 6 xxx

MakeAWhish · 01/01/2019 10:35

@LatteLover12 the cramping is a good sign as this was unusual for me as I never really got period cramps ...

LatteLover12 · 01/01/2019 12:25

It would be amazing if this was the month.

I feel full if that makes sense? That’s probably the excessive Christmas I’ve just had though! 😂

Not testing till 10dpo at the earliest so will check back in ☺️

Bloodylegoeverywhere · 01/01/2019 15:40

Fingers crossed @lattelover12

I have thrush.... Not had that for 5 years (the two months before and the month I fell pregnant with ds2) and my boobs don't hurt....yet.
I'm 6dpo today perhaps.....

LatteLover12 · 03/01/2019 10:01

BFN this morning ladies. Am either 9 or 10dpo so I’m probably out for this month.

I think it’s only the second month DP and I have been in the same county at the right time so trying not to worry.

How are you @bloodylegoeverywhere?

Bloodylegoeverywhere · 03/01/2019 12:34

It's not over till af turns up @lattelover12. Thought you were a day ahead of me and I thought I'm only 8dpo!? So could be very early still to test.

Yes ok cheers, thrush has cleared up but done badly this week. Taken a canesten pill and had a 360 dental xray Hmm

I caved and ordered some ic off eBay.

MakeAWhish · 07/01/2019 06:53

How are you girls? Any news? @Bloodylegoeverywhere @LatteLover12

OP posts:
Bloodylegoeverywhere · 07/01/2019 06:57

Nada, I'm due wed! Odd thing is no sore boobs at all. Is that due to the vitamins or a non ovulation cycle.
Oh well....

How's you @makeawhish

LatteLover12 · 07/01/2019 07:05

Nope. I’m out. Temp drop this morning so AF today (as expected).

Keeping my fingers crossed for you @bloodylegoeverywhere

MakeAWhish · 07/01/2019 08:18

@Bloodylegoeverywhere those internet cheapies didn't give me a BFP until a few days after my period was due! They're not as sensitive as they say.
@LatteLover12 on to the next month! Have you tried conceive plus lubricant? Seemed to work for us but could have been a fluke.
I'm good thanks, 12 week scan is a week today and I'm so scared there'll be something wrong 😬 I'm sure it's ok but we always worry don't we xx

OP posts:
Bloodylegoeverywhere · 07/01/2019 13:37

Will see if af comes on wed. But good to know 're those ic.

Meant to say good luck for the scan,
You had it yet @makeawhish?

Bloodylegoeverywhere · 07/01/2019 20:08

Think it's just ink as the line seems too far over. my other ic came in the post so had to pee again Grin these are a different make.
Will get a proper stick if my period doesn't come on wed.

@Bloodylegoeverywhere errrrrrr, I can see something???? Get an FRER tomorrow! For me?!! X

OP posts:
Bloodylegoeverywhere · 08/01/2019 06:18

Will get something later. It's the dye collecting on the stick.
Common with one step tests unfortunately. This is for 3 mins with fmu

Bloodylegoeverywhere · 08/01/2019 09:41

I got a different make and it was a negative! Hmm

MakeAWhish · 09/01/2019 17:10

@Bloodylegoeverywhere oh crap. When is af due? Today? Has it come? X

OP posts:
Bloodylegoeverywhere · 09/01/2019 19:59

It's fine, due today but that's only 27 days so tmrw is still a possibility. BFN today too, it wasn't fmu but would assume I'd get a smidge of a line at this many days post ovulation. Grin

Bloodylegoeverywhere · 10/01/2019 11:42

Not here yet but this is yesterday I think...

@Bloodylegoeverywhere any news? Xx

OP posts:
Bloodylegoeverywhere · 12/01/2019 12:06

Ah Yes. Period came Smile not meant to be! Stay in touch though.
@lattelover12 how's it going!?
And everyone else in this thread!?

LatteLover12 · 12/01/2019 12:11

Hello!

Period has been and gone so onwards and upwards!

DP is now at home for the foreseeable future so fingers crossed. That’s got to help, right?! 😂

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend x
