In our 30's and TTC- baby dust

[babyG123]

Anyone fancy joining this bus?

1dpo and due on 8th

@Babyboom1990 they are some of the symptoms I am having! Maybe my HCG is just too low, or I'm literally going insane 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂😥

@Babyboom1990 a massive congratulations to you!!! I haven't done a digital test no, I may have to invest in one! I'm 9 days late so God knows what is happening! When I was pregnant with my DS he didnt show up until nearly 8 weeks so I'm wondering if there is maybe a problem with my hormones? But it is definitely driving me crazy!

@Babyboom1990 it's bad first thing with the sickness but fine when I eat. 🤣 same as you. I believe it's called lightening crutch. Ironic! 7 weeks today according to the nhs. Got my scan date today

@babyboom1990 I know what that worrying is like! I'm sure everything will be perfect for you 🥰

I will definitely look at getting a digital thank you!

@notyetamumbuttrying hey hope you're ok. Just realised I forgot to post a pic of my vitamin b. Here you go. As I say it may have been coincidental but I conceived the first month of taking these and definitely added an extra few days to my cycle xx

Hope you're all ok ladies and congrats @Babyboom1990 very very happy for you xx

Thank you @MrsTtobe! Let's hope it brings me luck too! Although I do have coq10 and folic acid on order and have already started taking vita dha and agnus castus so I prob shouldn't add too many more supplements to my diet, I'll have lovely glowing skin and nails tho eh lol!

Thanks for the warm welcome people

It’s exciting to see some positive stories. I’m at the point where I feel like it might not happen without help, but I’m still hopeful every month.

I’m trying to lose weight at the moment, hoping that might help. I’m a bit overweight, so trying to get my BMI into the healthy category. My willpower is non existent at the moment though, damn the time time of the month when all I want is chocolate!!!

I’ve ordered some more opks and have started temping again. Does anyone else here temp? I find it useful, if anything, it confirms I’m ovulating even if nothing is happening. I’ve also ordered some conceive plus lube this month, hoping that will help.

Anyone else found they’re chucking money at everything when it comes to this! I must have spent hundreds on opks, tests and fertility vitamins!!!

Yes defo me spending a small fortune on all the supplements, opk's, preseed, pregnancy tests, endless right @Lauralozzle and all for nothing to actually happen yet lol!

@notyetamumbuttrying

Tell me about it! Fortune spent and all for nothing at the moment!

Thinking of giving SMEP plan another go this month, I never quite fit it all in (the three days on the trot are hard cause it always ends up being 4 days). I’m literally willing to try anything/everything now. I’m on cycle 13, and after this cycle we will have been trying a year. (My cycles are about 26 days so at least it means the next cycle is never far away - not that that has helped!)

Aunt Flo can just about p*ss off now though!

Similar to me @Lauralozzle my cycles are sometimes 26 but usually 24 days so at least when af is done I'm straight Into fw! I can't fit SMEP in with my cycles being so short lol! Don't fancy sex on my period but we might do it tonight as I seem to be finished already today (day 5). Have been taking agnus castus past two weeks and seems to have shortened my period! Just hope I ovulate later now too.

@notyetamumbuttrying

I started taking agnus castus a while a go but then forgot to take it. Thought it might have helped the horrible PMS I was getting (sore boobs from day after ovulation until AF for months). Fingers crossed, my PMS seems to have eased massively, sore boobs only start a few days before my period now. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or not though, to be honest, it seems to have coincided with my shorter cycles.

I probably have some horrendous hormonal imbalance!

I’m on CD4 - should be ready to start at it again in 2-3 days. My conceive plus lube arrived today - will see if that helps.

@Lauralozzle I reckon I have a hormonal imbalance too, I'm always sweaty when I have no reason to be. My pms was still bad but the tablets definitely helped ease some of the pain on day 1 and 2, although I still needed painkillers. Defo helped the flow. It's day 5 and I've had nothing (only a bit when I wipe) so will keep taking them up until ov day then stop. Good luck with that lube! We used preseed last month so will likely use it again this month just because it's there! I'm up for just doing all sorts now after 9 cycles of trying lol

So I'm still having signs of pregnancy but teats are still negative. I am actually driving myself crazy! I'm obviously not pregnant but the symptoms arent leaving me alone 😥

@Rma13 how many dpo are you? Once you're a week late and haven't come on you can go get a blood test at the drs.

I was due on the 9th of may..... maybe I should phone the drs!

Yeah I defo would! U ever been this late before without being pregnant? @Rma13

My periods used to be really messed up but over the last year they have been every 30 days without fail! I've just rang the drs @notyetamumbuttrying waiting for a call back now!

Best of luck @Rma13 let us know how you get on!

Hi ladies, do you mind if I join? I’m 33 and my partner is 34. We’ve been together 6 yrs and decided to come off the pill 2yrs ago but we are still waiting for baby no1. When I came off the pill we were very much let’s just let nature take it course when it happens it happen. I started tracking my cycles since last Oct. I’m currently 12dpo a little scared to test is I’m honest, really don’t want to see another bfn. My luteal phase is quite long anything between 15-17days. This was my first month doing OPKs which I found really helpful. Been temping and checking CM since last Oct.

Hey @Suki2020 love the number suki btw! Try taking agnus castus if you're luteal phase is long. I'm taking it to lengthen my follicular phase but I've heard it can sort lp's too!

So are you all ready for the weirdest conversation I've just had with the Dr. She took all my symptoms and advised me that she thought I was pregnant, congratulated me and advised they are currently not doing blood tests unless they suspect something nasty. Advised me to keep taking at home pregnancy test, however she is certain I am pregnant and told me to contact the midwives....... I have genuinely never felt so confused....
