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. FlowersSmile

Just tracked my amazon order and cheapy tests not arriving until 3rd June!! Shock serves me right for trying to be a crazy poas lady!!!! Af is due 2-4 June anyway 🙃 and I’m not wasting a cb digi so looks like I may chill out and ride it out until af due... Meh ... 😴 it’s for the best I knowwwwww!

musiceverywhere · 26/05/2020 16:33

Well whatever it was this morning doesn't seem to have developed into anything more.... 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hey ho, only 12 more days until POAS.. (no way I'll hold out till then if no AF 😬)

Loladoodle · 26/05/2020 16:35

@musiceverywhere oooohhh interesting

Sunbird24 · 26/05/2020 16:57

Hi all, just put my blood sample in the post to get my AMH test done. Once Care get the results back (next week?) we’ll have a decent idea about if I can go forward with IVF, which means I can start looking at sperm donors! Trying not to get too excited at the moment, as I know I’ll still have to have a TVUSS before anything else happens, but you just can’t help it can you? It’s also kind of scary doing this alone, but it does mean I can go for a MUCH younger man than I would actually date...

MrsTtobe · 26/05/2020 18:09

Hi @Sunbird24 so exciting for you. Keep us posted xx

PinkTulipz · 26/05/2020 18:26

Hi everyone,

So pleased to have found this thread!

I'm 37, have a 4 and almost 7 year old. We have just decided to start trying for a third, after 2 years of indecision. I had a miscarriage 5 years ago so am pretty nervous about how things will go especially now I'm that bit older.

Just settled in a new PT job and thinking about all that freedom I'll have when my youngest starts school in September, but we always thought we'd have 3 and just don't quite feel our family is complete yet so here we are!

Loladoodle · 26/05/2020 18:29

@sunbird that’s great news! Doing it alone is sometimes easier! No one to interfere 👌 and also re younger man.... never say never lol I’ve always said that and here I am ttc with a younger man! 😅

MrsTtobe · 26/05/2020 18:30

@PinkTulipz aww welcome. Yes that's exactly how I feel. My 2 kids are beautiful and I completely understand how lucky I am to have them but my family pictures aren't complete. I just always pictured a big family. I love the thought of a busy house with 3 kids dramas. ❤🙏 Wishing you lots of luck xx

MrsTtobe · 26/05/2020 18:31

@Loladoodle mine is a younger man too!! 🙈🤣 Younger men it turns out ironically are more mature! Yet still fun! 🤣 How much younger is yours? Mine is 5! 😬🤣 xx

Sleeeeeepy · 26/05/2020 19:06

Hi @PinkTulipz I'm also 37 and we're about to start trying for #3, if AF ever shows up. I've just come off the pill and am not a very patient kind of person 😂x

Sunbird24 · 26/05/2020 19:41

Looks like younger men are the way forward! 😉 I’m 42, and men my age just seem so old... The last guy that tried to chat me up thought I’d be impressed by him having authored 2 widely-used firewalls!

Spottybluepyjamas · 26/05/2020 19:45

Hi guys, I'm nearly 36 and trying for number 2! Had a miscarriage recently at nearly 11 weeks so feeing a bit nervous, but got to stay positive! Period is a day late and I'm super nauseous, but all tests have been negative so far. I'm thinking the nausea must be related to something else as it seems way too early to have morning sickness! Anyway - hello 👋🏼 and good luck everyone!

Loladoodle · 26/05/2020 20:27

@MrsTtobe my man is 8 years younger! Never thought I’d see the day but yes you are right - more mature but still fun! 👍 is highly recommend it actually! Happiest I’ve ever been ☺️

Loladoodle · 26/05/2020 20:30

Hi @Spottybluepyjamas and @PinkTulipz and @Sleeeeeepy good luck! Hoping the late af will result in a bfp!

Loladoodle · 26/05/2020 20:31

@Sunbird24 I don’t even know what that is 😂 stick to men below 35 and you will be fine 👌

M4v3r1ck · 26/05/2020 20:43

Sorry I'm terrible at tagging and remembering who said what, but sending lots of good vibes and positivity to those waiting for a BFP soon! 😘😘😘 That's me coming to the end of AF, so will be starting my first official cycle soon! 🤞🏻

I'm in the "cougar club" too as my OH is 2 years younger! 😂😂😂

Loladoodle · 26/05/2020 20:48

@M4v3r1ck cougar club! Love it 😻

musiceverywhere · 26/05/2020 20:51

Hi @PinkTulipz and @Spottybluepyjamas ! Welcome- lots of baby dust all over this thread ☺️.
My OH is only 2 yrs only, but that puts him in the 'over 40' group meaning lots of risk factors change 😕 (I'm not far behind!). But- positivity prevails! @M4v3r1ck I'm the same with the tagging- if i take more than two mins to write message I forget who said what. 🙈

musiceverywhere · 26/05/2020 20:52

*2 years older

Sleeeeeepy · 26/05/2020 22:28

Oooh all these cougars, you go for it ladies!

Thanks @Loladoodle but I don't think I've ovulated yet, saw some signs so tested for a few days here and there but big fat nothing. I have also done some pregnancy tests because I have zero willpower and bad POAS compulsions and definite bfns. So where is Flo? She is hiding from me!

Bellabubble · 26/05/2020 22:46

I’m in the cougar club too lol!! I’m 36 and oh is 30! We have a joke in his family that I look younger than him though bless him 😂

claireb707 · 26/05/2020 22:55

I'm also in the cougar club 😂😂 Oh is almost exactly a year younger
He's 40 in 6 weeks I'm 41 in 7

Happyhappy37 · 26/05/2020 22:57

Welcome to all the new ladies. I hope you all get your BFP🤞🏾. Sending you positive energy 🙏🏽
😂😂 @thecougarclub. don't know what club I'm in. 😂

MrsTtobe · 27/05/2020 07:41

This has made me laugh this morning! Think we've found a new name for the group. The Cougar Club. 🤣🤣 How funny that the majority of us have younger men! 🙈 I love it as I look younger than him anyway. 😜 But I listen to Heart FM 👵 and he listens to Radio 1. He never remembers songs that I love because he wasn't born! 🙈🤣

Anyway younger men aside... time is going soooooo slowly! AF due around 9th June and that feels so far away! When is everyone else AF due?
@Happyhappy37 is your AF officially late now?
@Spottybluepyjamas looking good for you lovely. 🙏 Keep us up to date! Xx

FridaKFangirl · 27/05/2020 08:18

Oh man! My DH is 18 months older... maybe I trade in for a younger model?!? Grin Don’t want to be left out the Cougar Club...
