TTC 35+ Thread 2 Cougar And Silver Fox Club

[Loladoodle]

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

Congratulations @PinkTulipz wonderful news! Fingers crossed we get many more this month!

Welcome @justonemore39. Any symptoms yet?

Thank you @Annna41, no really symptoms at all really. Other than it doesn't feel like AF is coming. The witch is due today/tomorrow. I took a cheap HCG test earlier today - and there may have been a whisper of a line - but I am not convinced, and I would have thought at 14DPO it would be much darker. I haven't figured out how to post a pic. there doesn't seem to be anything to do it!

Welcome @JustOneMore39! Lovely to hear you had your DS at 38, I’m currently 38 and TTC #1.

Baby dust to you! x

@Chlo2701 and @M4v3r1ck!

Hello how are you both CD buddies? I’m trying not to feel despondent... I’m not tracking, but if I ovulated when I think I felt it (sharp pain and momentarily woozy) early on CD8... then I am 13 days DPO now and I’m pretty certain no symptoms...

But I suppose no AF either... and I aware I’m not tracking so all this is based on massive assumptions!

Urgh I was meant to not be stressing month one!!

Talk sense into me please!

@PinkTulipz yaaaay! Brilliant news! 🥳

Ha ha I can add to awful exes - I'd had enough of him staying out/not coming home (thinking it was more of his drinking lifestyle) and asked him to leave (stay at his parents). He trumped me on the dumping by telling me he'd been having an affair and she was pregnant! 🤦🏼‍♀️

But lucky me, I got to meet my new partner! 😃

Hey @FridaKFangirl. We were super shocked. And I barely changed my lifestyle. Mainly did things to keep my mind off TTC and reduce the anxiety. And as they say, you are not out til you're out. So try and not feel too defeated yet. Also it took until I was a week late to get my BFP last time. And that was with a FRER!

I’m definitely having an odd cycle this month. Based loosely on 28days from previous cycle (I’m not always the same), af should have been due last Monday or Tuesday or so. I had cramps from Saturday then spotted Monday to Friday. Af finally came on Saturday and yesterday but really light. TMI I know but most tampons were like 1/2 - 2/3 dry 🙈. Now it’s stopped.

I’d usually have a 4-5 day standard period. Couple of heavy days then getting lighter. Is it possible I didn’t ovulate this month? How common is that? I came off pill in January so should be cycling normally now and had regular periods since I came off? I’ve bought ovulation sticks to check this month but just wondered if anyone else experienced the same?

Thank you @JustOneMore39! Here's hoping we both get our BFPs soon x

@selina37 omfg glad you are shot of him and have a lovely and better partner! What an a**ehole! 🤬🤬🤬

@FridaKFangirl @Chlo2701 I'm trying not to read too much into things, but it's so hard! 🙈 Feeling woozy and yuck, but DH thinks I'm doing my usual pre-AF behaviour! It might just be heavier/worse now as I'm no longer on coil, and I've forgotten what that's like! 😕

@JustOneMore39 welcome to this lovely group!!! 😍😍😍

Thank you @M4v3r1ck Where are you in your cycle?

@Justonemore39 welcome 😁. I see you had first at 38...I’m trying for my first at 38 too 🤞🤞. Hope you get your BFF soon

Hello new joiners and hooray for more BFPs! Great to hear some good news 🙂 I'm on CD9 today so gearing up for baby making shenanigans. Anyone else at the same stage?

Welcome all. So trying best not to obsess this month.
But not working at all

Im so so impatient 😭 just wish the tww went quicker. Got lots on to keep busy. Work is crazy.. Decorating is happening fathers day and my dad's birthday this Sunday so all busy.

Anyone else really struggle in tww?

Hello everyone Hope you are all doing ok I’ve been having a busy few day’s out and about. Welcome new ladies and congrats @PinkTulipz on your bfp 🎉 fab news!

@PirateWeasel I am also cd9 - looking forward to a busy week ahead 😜

@LT103 have you POAS? I've lost track whether you have but you know I like to make sure sales of all types of test are high!

@Wavesandsmilesagain nice to hear from you. I see you are in the TWW. How far in are you?

@Sleeeeeepy I did a test on Friday morning before af (if that’s what it was) started and was negative. Haven’t done another but don’t have any symptoms. Just no idea what is happening 🤷🏻‍♀️

In fact the test was Thursday morning, not Friday

@LT103 Mmmm I'd do another test just to see. I didn't have symptoms til 6/7 weeks with both of mine but my second when I didn't know I was pregnant I had two periods. A couple of weeks back I had a strange fake AF then didn't ovulate so am just hanging about to see what (if anything) happens next. I'm definitely not pregnant so goodness knows. It's really annoying isn't it!

@PinkTulipz congratulations, fab news!

Working in the office this week so have to catch up on everyone’s news in the evenings, but still keeping everything virtually crossed for sticky beans all round! I’m still waiting for the clinic to have their MDT meeting and let me know if they’re approving me for IVF, and my boss is on about sending me to work with our French partners for 8 weeks next year so I’m feeling a bit guilty that I’m potentially going to have to let him down.

@Happyhappy37 I’m 2 days in... will be a long two weeks! DP managed to excel himself last week so if we aren’t successful this month it won’t be for lack of trying 😂

Hey @Annna41! I'm a recent addition to this thread too :)
Good luck getting a sibling for your little boy :) also gives hope to plenty of us, as well as you i bet, that you conceived pretty quickly with him!
I'm 37, TTC cycle 1 (left it too late last time round once made a decision!)

sorry i meant @JustOneMore39 not you @Annna41! Monday evening haha

@Wavesandsmilesagain DP (darling partner) managed to excel himself last week 😂 🤞🏾 Crossed for you.
Am 5days in. Honestly if it wasn't for this group I wouldn't even know where am at with all this TTC business.

@JustOneMore39 welcome to the group. Hopefully you'll get your BFP soon 🤞🏾🙏🏽
