Over 30 ttc#1 looking for other in-betweeners

[AmyinNLondon]

Hi all,

I’m 33, DP is 36 and in second month of ttc#1. (Am fairly new here so don’t know all the acronyms). I have pcos so realise that might be a challenge but have a fairly normal 28 day cycle. I have been totally taken in by all the conception gadgets and have bought a Clearblue fertility monitor and am waiting for the Ava bracelet to arrive... mental I know!!

I find the 20 somethings in other ttc threads a bit intimidatingly young, perky and fertile, but recognise those in the 35 or 40+ threads may have different experiences, so don’t want to be an under-age imposter!

Anyway, if anyone is in the same boat and wants to share their journey (fingers crossed ending up with a BFP!) then post below... xxx

I really had thought I'd be taking it easy. Enjoying this journey but it's very stressful. The unknown. I'm glad there are others who feel the same and I'm not too crazy!

Hi all. Been catching up on the messages. Positive thinking.

I also couldn't resist doing a test mega early on Sunday morning. Very faint but very shocked to say the least x

Congrats mrs!

Congratulations!!

How exciting! Congratulations

Thank you!

Oh wow Mrs20118, congratulations! I thought we were CD buddies, did you O super early? I think I'm only 2DPO now.

This seems like such a positive thread I had to comment. Congrats to all those with BFPs. I’m 32 and my husband is 30. This so cycle 1 of trying properly with OPKs. I’m 8DPO feeling quite crampy and boobs are aching but I am trying soooo hard not to analyse every single symptom as so many of my friends have told me they didn’t feel any different until at least 6 weeks so anything I do feel is probably in my head. Good luck to us all x

@babyclicks really am confused about when I conceived. According to my app it’s saying implantation is only just happening now but I’ve had a faint positive on frer test and a 1-2 weeks pregnant on a clear blue digital. So maybe my period wasn’t a genuine one and was just the withdrawal bleed from pill and then who knows when I ovulated?! Very confused!

@mrsof20118 - That is confusing, but awesome! My cycles were really messed up after the pill too, so it is easy to mix-up O dates. What counts is that nice strong line :) Congratulations again. Send some baby dust my way please, I'm 4DPO and already dreading the rest of the 2WW. We nailed the BD timing, but as I keep having to remind my DH - that still only means a 20-25% chance if everything is working correctly!

Congrats to the Bfp so far!
Can I join too? I’m 32 and DH is 34. We’re on cycle 3 at the moment and on 7 dpo at the moment. Just wondering what the normal wait is before you see the doctor?

I'm sorry but I have become one of those people who posts their BFP two days after joining a group.

Got the BFP last night and confirmed again this morning. Partly I joined the group as I was having some symptoms (cramps, feeling hot, slight nausea) but also aware that I am very good at tricking myself into having symptoms for almost anything at the drop of a hat.

Good luck to everyone else in the TWW. Hope you get your BFP soon too.

Congratulations @lifechanginglemoncake!
@babyclicks I’m 4dpo as well. I mean., what exactly are we supposed to do for this 2ww thingy? There should be some sort of rain dance you do every day to increase your chances

Congratulations @lifechanginglemoncake that’s great news!!

Congrats on the BFP !!!

Implant removal was on Wednesday and af arrived this morning so hopefully my cycle is ready to be tracked

Congrats @lifechanginglemoncake

@Claudia84 How are you doing? I am still going slightly insane waiting to test and I'm only 6DPO. I might try that rain dance you speak of... Can't hurt, right? I'm trying to hold off testing until after AF is due (14DPO) but I will maybe definitely test around 12DPO.

Good luck to everyone testing soon!

Yep going slightly crazy and googling everything to do with ttc and then realising I’ve actually already read it!
I’m 7dpo and I’ve told myself I’m not going to test at all this month just going to wait until AF is here or not. We’ll see. Something tells me I’m out this month so I’m just starting to think about next now. Booo
How’s everyone else doing?

Can I join please?

I am 30 DH is 33.
Cycle 4 (started ttc in March) . CD28. 11dpo.
Af is due on Wednesday so desperately trying to avoid testing until then. 🙈

I have massively irregular cycles that have ranged from 29 days to 56.
Ovulation took me by surprise this month as the opks didn't work so we didn't Dtd as much as we should have so I am not too hopeful. 😕
I am charting bbt, taking IC opks and clearblue and taking a truck load of supplements!
I am having a scan to check my ovaries soon and get my 21 day bloods back tomorrow.

Congratulations to the bfps!!! I hope this is a lucky thread!

How is everyone? X

Hi. A bit late to the party but can I join? I'm 33 and DH 35. TTC #1. Cycle 7 or 8 (I've lost track). Have a history of horrendously heavy and painful periods but last 5 or so have been very light...had some initial tests but day 3 and 21 appear to be fine. No idea why and it's playing on my mind a lot. I usually track but and cm using a couple of apps. Looking forward to sharing tips and support with you all. Will catch up on the thread during my morning commute 😁

Welcome Flapjackered and Muddy Elephant! Never too late to jump in.

This is definitely a lucky thread, I got my BFP this morning! 12DPO and only cycle 4 of trying. We really lucked out with timing this month and it has worked. I have zero symptoms, but the line is definitely there.

How are you doing @Claudia84?

Good luck everyone get to test!

Congrats @BabyClicks, and everyone else who got there +ve.

I am hoping that I can join. I'm 33, DH is 35 TTC #1 after 9 years with the coil. We are on C2 of trying and 8 dpo... according to flo.

I felt like I had loads of symptoms last month, but this time there are only a few symptoms and they are very different. TMI warning - my CM has been a creamy lotion like consistency for the past 5 days. Depending in where I look in the internet, it gives me different levels of hope.

I was planning to do a FRER on Saturday (10dpo), but DH is away and wants me to wait till Monday ... torture! I was thinking about doing a cheeky test while he is away and if it is +ve, planning to surprise him when he's home is that really bad?

Not bad at all... my AF due yesterday and no sign yet but could come today. Am holding off testing as will be so disappointed with BFN... at least not knowing gives me a bit of hope.

Sorry @40cmsanta last message aimed at you. It would be a lovely surprise for OH to get home to.
