TTC 35+ Thread 2 Cougar And Silver Fox Club

[Loladoodle]

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

@Sunshine1984 huge congratulations!!! 😍😍😍glad you found the group again! Keep us posted with your progress!!! 😍😍😍

@Chlo2702 urgh, sorry you had such a shite day! I'd be so surprised as symptoms seem more like AF coming and it's our first month trying!

Happy "hump" day to everyone! Although I realise that could have a double meaning in this chat! 😝😂😈

@Sunshine1984 yay! 😍 congratulations!

@Dipsy77 I've ordered 'new era' calc fluor from Amazon. I heard about it on ingefleur.com...? It's worth a try I guess and apparently good for hair, skin and nails anyway so what's to lose?!

How is everyone doing today?

Hoping for some more BFPs! 🤩

@Happyhappy37 I even saw the name of the thread in the old group & searched it but nothing came up! So glad to have found you all. Can’t wait to share journeys and see everybody’s happy news 🤞🏼
Thank you! I’m sure he will be absolutely thrilled but it’s so hard keeping quiet! X

@Dipsy77 @M4v3r1ck @selina37 I’m still not in the swing of things with posting properly on here! Didn’t tag you above and can’t (or don’t know how to!) edit posts! X

Huge congratulations @sunshine1984.

@Sunshine1984 huge congrats!!! Lovely news and the best bday present For your oh. I’m not sure I could keep it a secret that long though hahaha

@Sunshine1984 congratulations x

Morning All!

Congratulations @Sunshine1984! Wonderful news!

@M4v3r1ck, I’m CD23, no idea re DPO anymore (or even if I ovulated!) and apart from the odd cramp and twinge entirely symptom free...Oh well... it’s my first non pill cycle so it would be pretty unlikely to catch this month. We’ll see! I’m trying to be realistic so I’m not disappointed and hopefully(!) pleasantly surprised! :)

How are you feeling today?

@Matilda19 @Annna41 @LT103 @FridaKFangirl

Thank you ladies 🥰 Keeping quiet is so difficult!

Hope to hear of lots more BFP’s very soon 🙏🏼

Aah congratulations @Sunshine1984 great news! @Lynnysong sorry you've been so stressed but sounds like you have a plan and a positive attitude!
Aagh I've been having flashy smilies for a few days so have been DTD every other day. I just know it would go static today but DH wasn't up for 2 nights in a row 🤦🏼‍♀️ so now it's peaked today I'm worried we wasted a good chance... anyway I've told him we're on it today... 😁 (and tomorrow 😂).

Thought I'd post this for anyone not sure about the CB OPK as I hadn't seen it anywhere and didn't save them last month. The first two (top) were blank circles, with test picking up low estrogen (I'm assuming). On the third one it starts to darken as estrogen rises. Then started testing twice daily. The second from bottom is from yesterday teatime- estrogen darker and more of a second line which indicates LH. Then this morning a clear second line (presumably showing LH surge) and fainter estrogen. The control is the little circle I think. So they don't work like the strips and I find them much easier to interpret!
Also means you could technically use them without the holder which must be why they don't sell the strips on their own. 🙄 ££

@Sunshine1984 fab news! Congratulations 🥳 glad you found us, I did pm you back but you had already found us by then.

@lastditchattempt20 what Cd are you? Cd11 here, will keep doing opks to see when I ov.

@M4v3r1ck it is indeed “hump” day 🐰 today might even have 2 humps 🐫 Or more! 🤣

Shit 😢

I happened to cut up a pineapple yesterday so I have kept the core and chopped in to 8 pieces to eat one a day after ovulation. It’s meant to support implantation.

@claireb707 has af arrived?

Yep very very crampy as well just as a real kick in the teeth 😢

CD14 just like last month which is kind of reassuring. 👍 @Loladoodle. How are you tracking? I definitely noticed my change in CM this month- v different yesterday and today. Helps those swimmers along!
Assuming will ov some time in next 24 hrs as surge could only have started after about 6pm yesterday at the earliest (was still flashing smiley then).
Got round last nights problem by DTD after the school run 😁 hubbie v happy as he prefers morning sex but never gets it! Will look after him today and try for an early night 😉
Question- do people do the legs up on a wall/hips up thing after sex? I know they say it doesn't make a lot of difference scientifically but....

@claireb707 ah no so sorry! Be kind to yourself lots of comforts today!

@lastditchattempt20 I’ve started opk this month just cheap ones (I used them last time Ttc and found them grand). I can usually tell by cm and ov pains as well as heightened sex drive. I haven’t been putting legs up but might do so this month- I’m sure keeping those swimmers in might help in some way 🤷‍♀️ Or might just make me seem even more 🤪

@claireb707 sorry you're feeling sad- I don't remember, did you ever get AF? What app is that? Hope you've got treats and feel good tv to wallow in.

@lastditchattempt20 period has arrived this morning, it's period tracker

@claireb707 ah I was confused as it said period ended! Hugs 😕- on to next month. 🤞🏻

If you open the picture fully it's says day 1 😢sad times.
Although I am now due to ovulate around 5th July, it's his birthday on the 3rd and mine on the 7th so birthday dtd and 🤞 a birthday baby

@claireb707 that’s the spirit 🥳

Hiya, got a bfn today so stopped the cream. :(

Also I pestered my ex for money yesterday morning and he was horrible to me. He later apologised.

But today his whatsapp has been deleted and I can't get through to his phone. I think the asshole has changed his number and is doing a runner. He said he would send me money on Friday but he's got no intention too.

Do you know what's pissing me off, I'm upset cause I can't talk to him or see him again. Obviously must still have feelings for that moron. I thought I was mostly over him. And I'm annoyed at myself for being upset about it. I'm actually crying about it, what the hell is wrong with me? :(
