[Happyhappy37]

Hello everyone,

I am 37 going on 38 in December. TTC baby number 3. Came off the pill on the 1st may (2020). Previously I was on syanna press( depo).
I ovulated yesterday 😊
I only just finished my period on the 9th so didn't expect ovulation just yet. Also I am very new to using ovulation test. This is my second time using it. I am using the easy@home brand.
I have two boys ages 15 and 3years.❤️

Please join on this journey with me, so we can cheer each other up, share advice and information etc..

Good luck to all.

@Yellowbird82 welcome this is a lovely group only recently joined myself
Its so disappointing to see bfn ive had nausea been sick for days. Used test got bfn cried. Tried next day again bfn
Haven't tested since. Af due today fingers crossed no sign yet just same weird bloating full heavy feeling

Fingers crossed and lots of baby dust that the bfp come soon xx

Good luck @yellowbird82 it sounds like you've had a tough time. Keeping all crossed for you x

@Matilda19 I hope you get your bfp and that you feel fully well again. My sister is a NHS nurse and had it too, hugs x

@Matilda19 lots of nhs staff in my fam too... I am as well but not a nurse. Hats off to you girl

@Bellabubble I take the co q10, I've just started, I take 300mg a day although I've heard you're supposed to take more, up to 600mg depending on the type. You space it out through the day and take it with food, preferably something fatty.

It's supposed to help with developing good egg quality, I think. Hopefully it works I haven't taken them long :)

All going well, I'm meeting with a sperm donor this week, was texting with them. I felt really stressed about it and worried that I can't conceive.
But I don't think that will help so I'm just going to acknowledge and honour my feelings and pivot onto something else. One of thing at a time :)

@Lynnysong @Loladoodle thank you been tough but im ok and soon back to work doing what i love!.
Fingers crossed its happy times for us all very soon xc

@Lynnysong positive thoughts hope all goes wrll well

@Lynnysong good luck!

Thank you guys 😊 I've texted with them a bit more and feel much more relaxed about it now. He's got loads of experience, he's helped make 7 families. Isn't that cool? fx

@Lynnysong that is cool. I hope it goes well!

That's really exciting @Lynnysong It's good to know he has lots of experience so knows what to expect. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us

@Sleeeeeepy @musiceverywhere @loladoodle @Matilda19 and everyone else too, thank you x

And you're welcome, people seem very interested and it's helping me a lot to have people to talk to about it. I can't really tell friends and family about all this. Can you imagine talking to a friend about sperm and cm lol? x

@musiceverywhere my sister said the same, lost her sense of taste totally. Hugs for you and hope you're all well now. I've heard it can linger in some cases. xx

Good luck @Lynnysong!!! 😘

@musiceverywhere @Matilda19 hats off to all of you key workers during this time!!! 😘👏🏻

Happy Monday to everyone! 😃

@musiceverywhere hope your ok

Yeah was awful at the time not 100 percent now the afterparty definitely lingers but back to work soon. Might take my mind off tcc and symptom spotting..

Af was due yesterday but nothing. Trying not to get my hopes up x

@M4v3r1ck thank you x

@Matilda19 that sounds promising fx

Hi ladies. So a couple of days ago I had some really promising symptoms, loads of cramping and intense nausea in the evening. Despite not trying to symptom spot I thought, hang on a minute, this doesn't usually happen on a normal cycle.

Anyway yesterday, nothing. If anything I started getting telltale AF type cramps. I always start by having very light streaks two days before AF starts, which should happen by tomorrow.

I feel very deflated. We tried SO hard this month, every day from CD5 - CD19. I just have an overwhelming feeling that it's not my month

I'm sorry @Szalinski, that sucks. It's not over yet though, you never know 🤞🏻 This is so hard isn't it ☹️

Hope AF stays away today @Matilda19!

Have a lovely Bank Holiday today everyone 😊

@Szalinski I wouldnt rule yourself out just with cramping, on both my pregnancies I always had very intense period like pain just before I found out I was pregnant. Both times fully expecting AF to arrive. I'm so desperately trying not to symptom spot, and its prob my mind playing tricks, but we dtd on my most fertile days, indicated by ewcm, and a few days either side, for good measure, I'm now 10 dpo and have creamy cm (think I usually get this at this stage in cycle) had intense cramping lower back pain about 5 6 7 dpo, now settled down, have nausea and am more tired at night, not usual at this stage in my cycle and the most interesting symptom my right boob is in agony, I had to beg my dd not to hug me last night and ask my dh to stay away from them when dtd last night (I was also fighting a bit of nausea) so didnt like to mention that
Anyway, I should be testing at the weekend, but since I'm 39 and this is my first month ttc I said I wont waste a test, what are the chances ?? I was going to wait and see if I was late, because my 2 dsis and I are in same cycle, we jokingly text each other to announce arrival of AF , well they have both now text to say their "monthly gift" has arrived....no sign here. Feeling a bit....icky this morning, not full blown nausea. And boob on fire...... I only have cheapy tests so I may wait til this day next week I think.

Good morning to you all 🙂
Hope all is well with you. It seems like it's going to be a beautiful day🌞

@Matilda19 how are you doing today? 🤞🏾 and toes crossed for you Hun. Sending you positive energy.

@Szalinski aahhh sorry for what you have going through. Our bodies do play some tricks on us. 🤞🏾 Crossed for you. Af is still not here yet, so I am holding out for you. Sending lots of positive energy 🙏🏽

Am 10dpo today.
For everyone in the TWW right now.
It is so hard trying to not symptom spot, but we still do it. Don't feel silly for doing so, we always hope. Hope is stronger than fear‼️‼️

Have a wonderful day all 😊

@happy I love that quote! How true is that.

@Matilda19 so hoping af does not show up! Will you test today if no sign?

@Szalinski have you had any spotting or just cramping? Rooting for bfp for you! Will you test soon?

@Jigglykween Some positive signs but as we know our bodies can play cruel tricks... when will you test? Sending positive vibes for your bfp.

Gosh ladies you are all very good not going poas mad! Loving the will power 👌 hoping it rubs off on me! 😳 would be lovely for you all to get your bfp, so rooting for you all. Would be lovely for our wee thread here to have some exciting news too ☺️

Morning all! Saying hello to @Yellowbird82 and wishing you luck meeting your donor @Lynnysong.

Sunshine and baby dust all round x
