In our 30's and TTC- baby dust

[babyG123]

Anyone fancy joining this bus?

1dpo and due on 8th

@Rma13 oh no what a whirlwind it's been for you. That's horrible, but at least you finally have an answer now. Good luck with the op!

Thanks @helia I'm good for now, so used to this after months of nothing 😂 finally seeing the funny side, even tho it's not funny at all 🤪
Oh that's interesting @Purley well I was gonna test today and haven't so if no show today I'll test tomorrow.
I'm glad you only have a few more days and to find out, fingers crossed for you!

Thank you @Purley and @Sakura54 it really has been a whirlwind, I'm still trying to process everything and waiting on an OP date! Will probably start ttc again as soon as I've recovered as we both want another baby so much!

Hope everyone is okay

7/8dpo Today, boobs still really tender, mild cramping once today but nothing really.

My temps this month have thrown me. I’ve had a fairly clear rise to ovulation has definitely happened, but my temps are no way near as high as they usually are. It’s a bit strange. I had a bbt dip yesterday, just above coverline, but cause my temps are pretty low it’s not a particularly big dip. Temp increased this morning- but again, still lower than usual.

I’m trying not to read anything into it at all. I’ve had temp dips before and AF came, but... my boobs really do feel like they’ve been injected with lead or something.

Hi @lauralozzle
I was literally reading other posts about symptoms! The next few days are going to go so slow
I have very tender nipples which I don't normally get around af. I also have some mild cramping on and off and I'm absolutely exhausted. Im trying to remain chilled and not over think anything, just can't help but hope!! Other than that I don't "feel" pregnant so who knows!
AF is due on 10th

Hi everyone, so I couldn't hack it any longer and decided to take a test at 4pm today. 3 days before AF. Not at all sensible... And was a cheap one from the Co op. You could have knocked me down with a feather! BFP😊 I am in so much shock. Still taking it in...

Aww congrats @Purley 🥳 how nice when you weren't expecting it! Decent line too! 😊

Help. Can I join please? I'm 31 with PCOS. Ttc baby number 1!

Congratulations @Purley! How many DPO are you? The line is so clear 😃

Congratulations, @Purley!!!

Welcome, @ReginaaPhalange!

Thank you everyone

I really can't believe it. Only 11 DPO. Yesterday I kept needing the toilet so that kind of pushed me into testing early. Is anyone else testing soon? Baby dust to you all

@Purley congratulations!! That’s a nice line!

I’ve tested today - FF has me down as 9dpo (I reckon 10dpo) and it was a BFN.

Still sore boobs though. Slow temp rises too. Expecting a drop tomorrow.

I’m due on Friday/Saturday so will wait until Saturday before testing again unless my temps keep rising... if so, might test again Thursday!

So, today I’m either 10/11dpo and this morning had a temp rise. Started feeling twinges though - not AF style cramps but it does feel like it could turn into that.

I would have expected to see a temp drop by now, but I’ve checked some older charts and there are a few where my temps rained high until the day of my period.

Boobs sore, but not as bad anymore. Think I’m probably out to be honest.

I’ve attached my BFN from yesterday- nothing there even when I tweak it!

This cycle is so confusing!!

Congratulations @purley so happy for you!

Welcome @reginaaPhalange I have PCOS too, dont let that make you loose hope, I have a DS who is 4 and we are hoping to ttc no.2 soon 🥰

11/12dpo - temp drop today - not a massive drop, but I’m pretty sure I’m out this month now given the previous BFN. My downward temps are often fairly slow with a massive dip on day of AF so expect that tomorrow or Friday.

This TTC lark is doing my head in!

I think when AF starts I’ll call the doctors and try and get a referral sorted. I can only think that there’s something wrong with one of us!

Morning all!
I’m new here so haven’t really posted but I read all yours and good luck to everyone hoping for a BFP this month!
I came off my coil 2 half weeks ago and had a big bleed straight away so assuming that was my period it states I am fertile this week, been DTD pretty much every day but that’s normal for us 😂😂
As this is this first child we have actually planned we’ve decided on the 25th to test by going for dinner and doing a test at the restaurant then placing in my bag for us to find out 😂 if positive we will obviously head home if not we will enjoy a child free night out ( my mother is babysitting) I’m in the mindset that just having my coil out and not knowing when I’m actually ovulating that’s if it’s a BFN I’m not too disheartened about it. Love reading all your stories!
@Purley Congratulations 🥳

How long you been ttc @Lauralozzle?

That sounds like a cute idea @HollowayL30 I hope you get lucky first time! That would be amazing and so rare for those of us on here. We've been slogging away for months now 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying Aww I know to be honest I don't think it's going to happen as soon as we like to think but thought we would make the testing each month fun. My youngest I fell pregnant whilst on the patch which I've been on for years, my partner jokes that I'm super fertile but I have to keep telling him it doesn't happen that easy! The best advice I can give is to not over think it, and just enjoy every minute of trying! 🤣 Xx is anyone due to test soon? I love hearing results X

@notyetamumbuttrying been ttc 12 months now - but this is cycle 14 (I have had some short cycles during this time).

Some months have been better planned than other months - so there have been some cycles where the chance of catching was not great, but not impossible.

I do think we need help, so I will make the appointment with the doctor when AF comes, but to be honest, I’m terrified that there will be something terribly wrong with me!

My sister has PCOS - so I wouldn’t be surprised with a PCOS diagnosis (even though I’m 100% sure I’m ovulating) or endo or something like that. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if I have endo - my periods are painful. Without sounding like a moaning Myrtle I can see an infertility path with IVF in the long run.

Maybe I’m just in a bad mood today lol!

@Lauralozzle I feel you, don't worry. We're cycle 11, month 10 because I have short cycles too. It's bloody horrible ttc when it's been that many months. I'm still trying to hold out hope as I have regular cycles albeit short. Painful periods but no bleeding outside of that timeframe so I hope everything's alright. Will be calling docs next month tho as it'll by cycle 12, month 11 by then. Best of luck to us both!

@HollowayL30 really hope it's a breeze for you again. It's a right slog for some couples!

Hi everyone not heard from you all for a while Hows everyone getting on? I am just waiting for my op and then ttc will commence and I cannot wait! 😊

Hey @Rma13 good to hear from you! Do you have a date for your op now? I'm good thanks. 5dpo so not much to report from me.

@notyetamumbuttrying nope still no news on when my OP will be which is so frustrating and I still haven't seen AF since April! But I've also got an appointment with the fertility Dr in September so hopefully she can help me! My fingers are crossed for you!

@Rma13 good you're seeing a fertility dr soon that's great! Thank you, will keep you posted but not expecting much as always lol!

Hey @Rma13 how are you? I came on so I'm cycle 12 now. Made the drs appointment and having bloods this month. Dh is gonna go for SA this month too with a bit of luck! Any date for your op yet? Any sign of AF?

Hope everyone else is well!?
