Welcome @Cloclopops! I'm the same as you, ovulated on 6th so 5dpo but AF due on 20th! The days are going so slowly.. waiting till at lest 10dpo then will probably start obsessively POAS šŸ™ˆ

EmmTTC · 11/10/2018 09:52

Morning ladies!

I’m currently 11dpo.. if my app is correct about my ovulation day (although we covered early and late ovulation too)... and I just got a BFN. šŸ™„šŸ˜© I knew I shouldn’t have tested so now I’m hiding them until Sunday earliest!

Decgal88 · 11/10/2018 10:09

@cloclopops @Abzi91 I am the same too ladies ovulated 6th AF due the 20th!! fingers crossed for us all xxx

Cloclopops · 11/10/2018 10:29

@decgal88 @abzi91 amazing!! Love that we're the same ā¤ yh I dont think I'll test till at least 10dpo but the wait feels like forever xx

Decgal88 · 11/10/2018 10:48

i know its so hard waiting! im going to wait also hopefully AF doesnt show so I will test on the 20th as I have previously tested before!! let me kniw how you both get on Smilexxx

Abzi91 · 11/10/2018 11:15

@Decgal88 @Cloclopops ooh cycle buddies!Will try to hold off if I can, but I'm sure I'll struggle
Fingers crossed!! Keep me updated! xx

Morning @EmmTTC
Ahh sorry :( hopefully it'll be a bfp on Sunday! šŸ¤žšŸ½ xx

HelloBrass · 11/10/2018 11:32

I'm pretty sure I'm ovulating today. EWCM from Tuesday is my give away. We dtd last Thurs, Sunday, Tuesday and last night, and going to try again tonight. I'm hoping for Saturday too to cover all bases and hopefully when we'll be less tired and more relaxed! AF due 27th.

I'm trying to stay positive and hopeful!

I don't have any pregnancy tests in the house (after going nuts last month and using them all up) and I'm going to try not to buy any unless I'm late... What's the betting I cave?!!

Rightnow1245 · 11/10/2018 11:36

EmmTTC sorry to hear that but it is really early don’t count yourself out yet! I was 2weeks late and still got a bfn and a few days later got a BFP 😊 you still have a chance!!!
So now I’m thinking that I might of ovulated already..still no positive on my OPK and I’m on day 19dp I’m so confused šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

Decgal88 · 11/10/2018 11:55

Fingers crossed for you @EmmTTC Out of curiosity whats the earliest you can test after ovulation? anyone had any success testing early and got BFP?

Cloclopops · 11/10/2018 12:22

@decgal88 from what I've read, I think even sensitive tests can't pick up a pregnancy until 4 days after implantation and implantation usually occurs between 8-10 days after ovulation x

Decgal88 · 11/10/2018 12:28

@Cloclopops yea makes sense! im just being impatient will wait till AF due! my boobs still feel quite sore from last week it usually passes after fertile/ovulation week, is anyone else still feeling like this? think im looking into the signs too much GrinConfused

Rightnow1245 · 11/10/2018 14:57

Fingers crossed for you Decgal88 šŸ¤žšŸ½

Hellobrass according to the last few cycles I’m due on a few days before you! I have a short Luteal phase.. after my last post I got a very near positive on the opk so I think I might get a positive real soon 😊 we will have to keep each other from not POS early 😬 anyone else not ovulated or just starting their TTW?

Hello!
Any room for another?!
AF arrived today and I’m feeling so disheartened. It’s the first month we’ve been TTC properly since a MC in July. We’ve got a beautiful 14 month boy but I’m so desperate to do it all over again.
Didn’t have a problem conceiving with DS or with my last pregnancy so although it’s only been a month I’m getting ridiculously anxious. I’m 37, DH 51 and I have this overwhelming feeling that time isn’t on our side.

So wish there was a magic wand full of baby dust for us all as this waiting game is just torturous. Flowers

Mouse14 · 11/10/2018 15:26

kayjay2018 we’re in a similar boat- 37 with a DH of 51 and babies the same age too!

Abzi91 · 11/10/2018 16:02

Welcome @Mouse14 sorry to hear that AF arrived! :( Fingers crossed November will be the month for you šŸ¤žšŸ½

@HelloBrass I keep going in to shops to buy pregnancy tests and then stopping myself because I know I'll use them all up! I've only got a CB one at home, which I'm trying to save if AF is late..
Sounds like you've covered yourself, hopefully you'll get a BFP by the 27th!!

@Rightnow1245 hope you do get that positive soon! 😊

Rightnow1245 · 11/10/2018 16:26

Hi Mouse14 I’m sure we were on the September 2017 thread together? Maybe I’m wrong tho! Welcome to the lucky thread and sorry to hear about your MC x

Thanks Abs I’ll keep you updated šŸ¤žšŸ½X

Kayjay2018 · 11/10/2018 16:46

Hi mouse14,
The age gap to DH is spot on, my older man Smile. He has no children so ttc number 1 for him. My DS is actually nearly 15years old! (Had him when I was 22). I didn’t think I’d find myself Ttc so many years later! I’m currently CD5 so just finished AF, been and bought some test strips as I only temped last month. I won’t be due next AF till November technically but hope I can gatecrash this thread for a bit!

I know what you feel about time running out. We have informally given ourselves 18months to see what happens. DH knows i temp but I’m much more obsessed than he knows!

Rightnow1245 · 11/10/2018 17:03

Kayjay2018 I’m pretty obsessed too! DH knows I’m using opk but he doesn’t know how bang on it I am.. I’m an all or nothing sort of person.. Defo can’t go with the flo hahaah

OP posts:
Kayjay2018 · 11/10/2018 17:19

@rightnow1245 I swear they get the easy bit! No temping or testing every day Smile. I’m trying to hide my obsession, I have been permanently broody all my life, my son was a lovely surprise but that means I always took my fertility for granted, now I’m ttc, it makes you doubt yourself! What day are you on this cycle?

Rightnow1245 · 11/10/2018 17:29

kayjay2018 They really have got it easy! I guess if you wasn’t TTC before then you didn’t have that stress about it!
I’m on 19dp so I’m pretty late into my cycle! All this TTC is so confusing x

Capybaras · 11/10/2018 17:56

Wow this thread moves quickly! šŸ‘‹šŸ» to all the newbies!
@decgal88 only had it for a year so not that long - never going back on hormonal contraceptives again - too much hassle!
Taking folic acid and vit d as I read somewhere about the pregnacare changing cycles and didn’t want any further changes to mine!
On CD8 and natural cycles doesn’t think I ovulate until CD23 so long way to go yet!

Kayjay2018 · 11/10/2018 18:59

Rightnow1245, I was very lucky that I fell for my son on the one occasion I wasn’t careful and for the last 15 years have not been in a place to have a child. It’s a little scary this ttc lark, I feel like I am a total newbie and know that realistically I am on a time limit with DH. Fingers crossed everyone gets the BFPs they wish for.

Mouse14 · 11/10/2018 19:18

Rightnow1245 this is my first thread that I’ve joined, so it wasn’t me!

Kayjay2018 wow! Thats going to be an adventure- back to nappies after 15 years! My DH has teenagers from a previous marriage and is loving the baby years again. Says it keeps him young!

I was worried about my age but during the appointments around my MC, the midwives, gynaecologist and also my own GP played down my age. Said it wasn’t a massive concern so I’m trying to keep that at the forefront of my mind but it’s sooooo hard to stay positive.

Just found out today that the third of my close friends is pregnant, she had her son 4 days after I had Edward. So happy for them all as two have been TTC for ages with pretty big health issues but it’s hit me pretty hard. I would’ve been due on Valentine’s Day- really want a BFP before then.

Lots of luck to everyone who’s still on the ā€˜October bus’ and let’s hope November is the month for the rest of us!!

Rightnow1245 · 11/10/2018 20:54

Kayjay I’m guessing you’re on a time limit because of DH age? Hopefully it does happen soon for you then!
mouse oh lol must of been someone with a similar username 😊
