In our 30's and TTC- baby dust

[babyG123]

Anyone fancy joining this bus?

1dpo and due on 8th

I’m late joining but wanted to be part of the journey! I’m 31 and 13DPO with cycle 1, had a very faint line a few days ago and BFN ever since. AF due Thursday. Losing hope each day & very bloated! Hope all you ladies are well & keeping fingers crossed for you all!

Hey @Lauralozzle yeah another rise today so fingers crossed I have ovulated although my app says I haven’t yet so a little confused, but my cycle vary in length so much so it’s difficult to know. My OPK’s have gone back to 0 now so hopefully I have ovulated. How are you doing?

Hi everyone my scan is tomorrow and I cant sleep I'm so nervous. I've obviously prepared myself that it will not show a baby but what if it did! Theres literally no reason for this post 🤦‍♀️ I just cant sleep and I'm anxious!

I started getting cramps last night, so there was no mistaking it.

Good luck today @Rma13

@Rma13 good luck today!

@KatieFH welcome ☺️

@Sakura54 no mistaking that at all! Congratulations (I hope I’m right thinking that’s a HCG test)

So many BFP on this thread

Flashing smiley opk today. Was flashing yesterday too so definitely truly in fertile week today.

@Rma13 hope all goes ok today for you.

Welcome @KatieFH

@Sakura54 that’s a good second line

@lauralozzle hopefully your static face might be today or tomorrow.

Congratulations @Sakura54

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

@Sakura54 congrats 🥳

Thanks all! lol yes it's a pregnancy test @Lauralozzle

@Sakura54 congratulations 🎉
@Rma13 how did you get on today?

Hey everyone, no baby 😥 and my ovaries looked fine so still none the wiser to why I'm getting these symptoms and why AF has disappeared!

@Rma13 oh, I’m sorry that the scan was less than useful. At least everything looks okay. Will they give you something to kick-start your period?

@Rma13 at least you know for certain now even though it's not the outcome you wanted. As @Lauralozzle said are they going to give you anything to trigger your period?

I'm honestly not sure I've been told to go back to my GP so I will speak to them tomorrow!

Best of luck for tomorrow then @Rma13!

Hope you get some help from your GP, @Rma13

Can anyone recommend any of the non alcoholic spirits? I've just been placing my weekly Tesco shop and wondered if anyone could recommend either Seedlip, Ceder's, Amplify or Stryyk? I have been enjoying a G&T on a Friday or Saturday night (helps to differentiate the days of the week in this monotonous lockdown ) but I don't want to drink while TTC (unless I'm on my period, I guess!) and obviously not while pregnant. I never bothered with low or no alcohol drinks when pregnant with DC1 (just abstained from everything) and wasn't drinking when we conceived so I've got no ideas. They are pretty expensive so I don't want to waste my money if they are no better than drinking tonic water with a bit of lime!

Thank you very much. I'm CD9 now. Haven't managed to have sex so far this cycle (it's been too hot ) but probably time to get cracking... I'm so nervous about it even though we do want another baby! We conceived DC1 so much quicker than I thought we would (two months - family history of fertility problems so I expected a long journey) and I remember being in complete shock and a bit of denial for about the first 20 weeks! Obviously it would be amazing if we conceived quickly again but I'm also nervous in case we do!

Have a good weekend, everyone!

Hello again all!

I'm fleeting in and out, but I'm still here checking in.

I'm after some advice, do you think 12dpo or 12 days since day of the deed (ha) is enough for a test? Xx

@helia seedlip is good. It's the only one I've tried.
@bee1311 12dpo is fine, that's the earliest they say to test so go for it! Best of luck!

Which Seedlip one do you recommend, @notyetamumbuttrying?

Oh I can't remember which one it was, most likely their leading flavour as I remember it tasting very gin like if that make sense lol @helia just use a nice mixer with it like fever tree and plenty of ice and it'll be lovely 😉

@bee1311 12dpo should be good for a test!

Got my static smiley today - and I’ve told DH so hopefully we’ll be busy! It’s been uncomfortably hot at the moment 🥵 but managed to get BD in yesterday - will try and make sure we get them in for next x3 days now.

I just hope we don’t waste this month like we did last month!!

Thanks, @notyetamumbuttrying!

Have a nice weekend, @Lauralozzle. We loosely followed Sperm Meets Egg last time we TTC (I think I downloaded it for free on Kindle) but we're just starting with sex every 2 to 3 days this time. I didn't do OPKs or anything when we TTC before but I used Ovia (now I'm using Clue) which gave me a good idea of my fertile window (as did EWCM ). I'm still really nervous about trying again. Are you trying to conceive your first baby?

What's everyone's plans for the weekend? More walks???

Hi everyone, can I sneak in here please 😊 almost 32 and trying for baby number 3.
I have 2 DD already aged 8 and 5.
We are on cycle 2 and I'm 4/5 DPO confirmed by CM only.
Feeling crampy and lots of CM again this morning but almost like another ovulation.... So I'm wondering if I'm trying to ov again!.... This is a minefield!
