TTC 35+ Thread 2 Cougar And Silver Fox Club

[Loladoodle]

New thread for you ladies. Let’s bring on the Bfps!!

@Loladoodle I'm 35. 36 in September.

This stopping caffeine is hard, I'm only having a cup of tea in the morning and then decaff after. I'm very tired but a lot calmer which I like.

However, my resting heart rate has dropped over the last two days and it's unnerved me cause I'm worried that af is coming early. I'm only 9dpo, but I've heard stopping caffeine can do that too. Fx for tomorrows temp now :(

@loladoodle CD 9 here. DP and I are working opposite shifts for all of my fertile week. He is currently asleep post nights and I have a 12 hour day tomorrow and then start nights Sunday. He might have to leave me a deposit in the fridge

@anna 🤣 needs must!

@Lynnysong when I previously went off caffeine I found drinking lots of water made me feel more energetic. I drink 1-2 cups a day I think that’s reasonable enough not planning to cut out completely- we need some pleasure in life!

Ps hoping af stays away @Lynnysong rooting for you!!!

So nice to see some BFPs! Congrats @kwastell and @MrsTtobe.
@Annna41 - that is so funny, but it must be frustrating. Do you self inseminate then?
I'm already out this month as I ovulated on day 9/10 which I know is too early for a mature egg unfortunately. I cut down on caffeine, started eating healthier and doing more exercise last month in the hopes I could get an later ovulation, but this was earliest I have ever ovulated, so feeling a bit disheartened. Took the plunge and phoned the GP though so I'm getting blood tests next cycle and OH is getting semen analysis.

@Lynnysong hopefully it's just the lack of caffeine bringing heart rate down. Fingers crossed for you.

@Posy1 no the normal way usually but it might need to this month 😂. I was going to aim for every day this month as I've noticed it's done the trick for lots of people on MN. Hopefully we'll squeeze in a quickie most days but I don't want to take the romance out of it.

Have you tried soy isoflavones. Apparently they can ripen eggs quickly. I'm no expert but someone might be help or have a Google x

@annny41 Ah...ha ha. At least you will be able to fit in the quickies.
Just raided my DDs chocolate treats for potty training stash to make myself feel better. 😂😂 Will go back to healthy eating tomorrow.

Hey ladies

I know caffeine is her ally bad for you but why is it detrimental to cutting down during TTC? I drink 3-4 cups a day - really can’t quit lol u less it will make a massive difference ?

Really*

Lurker but just wanted a little whinge sorry. 42, TTC #3, c1, day 29 BFN and a migraine! Wtaf?!

@Loladoodle @Posy1 thanks guys 😊

@Feetupteashot that sucks :( hope you feel better soon and get a bfp fx

Hi all @kwastell congrats! Lovely news ☺️ Flashing smiley here this morning on CD9 which feels early but hopefully estrogen will rise for a few more days before ov peak. DTD last night though, mainly as soon read somewhere that your body can 'reject' sperm if it's not (ahem) 'familiar' with it 😂 - so we're making sure we're familiar, as our sex life wasn't the most active prior to TTC. 🤦🏼‍♀️
Will be testing twice daily now to make sure I catch peak!

@Angelchops30 and @Feetupteashot welcome. Wishing you the best of luck on your TTC journey. 😊

@Feetupteashot sorry you got a bfn and a migraine 😞 it's so disappointing x

We had a lot more sex this month than usual. When I look back over the logs from the past 2 years we probably weren't doing it enough. So it could well be that that made the difference this month.

@Happyhappy37 Thankyou it's early days for us in the whole scheme of things but after spending so many years of being a single mum and not wanting anymore children, I then met my partner and In time both him and myself wanting a child together to complete our tribe, so here we are!!

@lastditchattempt20 don’t worry - my oh and I were loving at home woth my parents and due to the house being in a constant state of “being renovated” we had no door!! We hadn’t dtd since our honeymoon in Aug last year - we fell pregnant first try only dtd once in Jan this year (my mum works from home, my sis and her bf were living there at the time too so we were NEVER home alone, and we were saving for our house deposit so couldn’t afford breaks away lol) Sadly I had a mc, but I didn’t reject his swimmers even though we hadn’t dtd in months!!

I was going to give my OH the day off but if both @kwastell and @MrsTtobe have been having lots- I think it needs to happen 😂

@Angelchops30 similar sitch here- Didn’t think I’d have any more children but my dp who doesn’t have any of his own- seeing how good he is with mine Completely changed my mind on the whole matter. So here we are!

@Muda I’m prepping for the week ahead 🐇😬 will start tomo (cd7) dp fave time of the month (as I’m a psycho the latter part of 2ww 🤪)

@ChicaXS yeah limiting caffeine consumption seems to be important, below 200mg is the advice. I think it's linked to mc. :(
