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

Sorry- random tag in error! 🙈

Loladoodle · 04/06/2020 13:30

@lucieloos thanks, I was being particularly optimistic anyway so just have to get on with it now! Good luck with no symptom spotting- I started out that way then it all went mad!!!

Are than any over 40's on here that are ttc or have succeeded ?

I fell very easily in my 20's, but youngest is now 14. Now I'm 43 I know it's going to take time but would love to here tips/advice. My dp dtd often (thankfully), he is 5 years younger so lots of energy Smile This would be our first together.

I only decided to try a few weeks ago, and told myself if it happens it happens, but now I feel slightly more obsessed.. did have Mirena but have read that all returns to normal quite soon. I'm out of practise with all of this and still getting to grips with the lingo etc.

Thank you ladies.

Boo to all the AFs arriving. She's such a spoilsport 🙁 Mine's due on Sunday night so trying not to get my hopes up. What cycle is everyone on? Second for me.

lucieloos · 04/06/2020 16:20

Second cycle here too @PirateWeasel

@Billers76 I'm 40 soon to be 41 not had success yet but only just started trying. Wishing you lots of luck!

Bellabubble · 04/06/2020 16:33

@Lynnysong 🤞🏻 For you!! Have you tried calc fluor x6 tablets too? They are mesnt to be helpful for implantation during the tww too. I have mine ready to go cor a few days time :)

Dipsy77 · 04/06/2020 17:05

@Billers76 I'm 43 and fell pregnant with my 8 month old DD at 41 and had her at 42 I was in the pill too and forgot to take it for a few days.
Then I fell pregnant December last year which ended in MMC at 9.5 weeks in feb .I was drinking, not talking any vitamins before I knew I was pregnant with my DD with the MMC I was taking vitamins, avoiding alcohol I conceived quickly but unfortunately it didn't stick. Just hoping it happens again quickly x

Lynnysong · 04/06/2020 17:07

@Billers76 I'm 45 here, and just thought I'd try while I wait for a donor egg, still to get on a list though, so much to do just now lol. Good luck :)

@Bellabubble I haven't heard of this, need to investigate. Thanks for telling me about it. :)

I've no idea what cycle I'm on. My ex told me he wanted to have a baby with me but I'm sure it was to get money from me. He was and still is a turd. Which is a shame because he was handsome and charismatic. I fell for it but it's wearing off now. Thanks goodness for that...

Tiletiletile1 · 04/06/2020 17:10

Billers76 - me! I’m 40 been TTC for a long time now with no success. Got pregnant very easily when I was in my 30s.

Would those 40 plus be Interested in a separate thread?

Bellabubble · 04/06/2020 17:24

@Lynnysong check out inge Fleur on you tube (she has her own website too) she has a whole load of info on fertility and approaching it from a homeopathic way..this was the one I first watched, but have watched a few more since lol!

MrsTtobe · 04/06/2020 17:50

@Bellabubble I watch her on you tube too. She's so lovely. Im. You tube obsessed but most ttc videos are American ladies and it's all a bit different over there. Might start my own you tube channel up! 😬😜

It's all very busy on here today ladies.

@Loladoodle I need to join your healthy eating/ losing lbs plan too please. Someone please make me exercise and take the biscuits away from me!!!

@Lynnysong currently on the tww too! It's no fun is it love?! 🙄😔 I'm so anxious! X

Billers76 · 04/06/2020 17:59

@tiletiletile1 I'd be interested in an over 40's group

Loladoodle · 04/06/2020 18:04

@Lynnysong ah no your ex sounds horrid! Steer clear you deserve so much better!

lucieloos · 04/06/2020 18:37

I'm on a couple of over 40s ttc groups but they are really quiet and nobody posts much which is why I came on this one. A lot more happening! Maybe it might be better if we all stay together.

Good effort @musiceverywhere ! I would have thought that tennis would be fine if pregnant, people do some pretty hardcore exercise, I was more into a bit of light yoga 😂

@Loladoodle a big ol box of cheapie opk and pregnancy tests arrived today so the money saving starts here!

I'm a bit confused as to what my hormones are doing (absolutely nothing so far as I can see) so will do an opk every day to see if anything is happening.

Loladoodle · 04/06/2020 19:40

I quite like my 40+ buddies here ☹️ don’t leave us 😂

Loladoodle · 04/06/2020 19:41

Can I ask what would be the difference on an over 40 thread? Just interested. I’m 38 and feel in the same boat as everyone else on here 🚣‍♀️

Loladoodle · 04/06/2020 19:44

@musiceverywhere good work on the tennis! I’m impressed. I’m starting back running on Monday along with healthy diet- feeling too sorry for myself to start now with the arrival of af- have had to take lots of painkillers today as really sore tum 😫

@Sleeeeeepy I know I’m so glad I have x30 cheap tests to use next month 🤣 those wasted cb digi and frer broke my heart 💔

lucieloos · 04/06/2020 19:46

Yes I'm definitely not going anywhere I like it here and don't think we need to split up and label people differently because of a few years.

FridaKFangirl · 04/06/2020 19:49

Well doe on the tennis @musiceverywhere.

I'm 38 too @Loladoodle - I'd love us to all stay together if everyone is happy. I'm still feeling very new but am appreciating this thread a lot!
