TTC 35+ Thread 2 Cougar And Silver Fox Club

[Loladoodle]

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

@loladoodle exactly 😉. My ovulation sticks arrived today. Did one even though I’m only cd6 just to get an idea of negative. 2 lines but test line v faint so that’s negative. I’ll test again cd9 and take it from there

Can’t wait to see the positive. Exciting loladoodle!!

@Loladoodle that's great news about the ov stick! What day do you think you will ov on and what days have you dtd? I'm day 9 and think ov will prob be 13 or 14 so I'm thinking of dtd 9,11,12 and hopefully 13 of dh is up for it. I'm hoping that will cover it?

@lucieloos I think perhaps I will ovulate on Sunday which would be cd15. We have dtd cd8 and x2 on cd11 so far. I’m not dtd tonight but I plan to dtd cd13, cd14 and cd15 as well. Sounds like a solid plan @lucieloos 👍

Non-Ttc related question : looking for some new books to read, anyone read anything really good recently?

Hello all!

@Loladoodle - Books:

Girl, Woman, Other - Bernadine Evaristo
HumanKind - Rutger Bregman
Queenie - Candice Carty-Willams
Motherwell - Deborah Orr
Wilding - Isabella Tree

Currently reading The Five by Hallie Rubenhold, but not getting into it as much as I expected

Oh and Normal People - Sally Rooney of course! Loved it way before the TV Show! @Loladoodle

One More!

Milkman - Anna Burns

I'll stop now!

@fridaK thanks so much! I’ve read and watched normal people much preferred the book as usual. I’ve been reading loads but all out of books so going to order some. I’ll take a look at the ones you have recommended thank you 🙏

Ps interesting choice re the Milkman set where I am from 👍

No probs @Loladoodle, I run a local book club so am lucky to read lots of great things recommended by Book Club Buddies.

Milkman was universally ADORED at Book club! No local connection here though (South London)

Fab! You can keep me updated then re new books yay 📚 🐛 🤓

So I’m going to order Milkman, Motherwell and Queenie I think 👍 awesome 👏

@Loladoodle - only health warning I'd give on Motherwell is it will really get you thinking about Motherhood. I'm sure you don't but, if, like me, you have a difficult relationship with your mother it can be hard at points x

@frida I’m sure it will get me thinking 😅 I love books like that though 👍

All ordered got great deals on them all thanks! Can’t wait for them to arrive now I hate not having a book to read 🙃

Hope you enjoy! Let me know

Evening ladies! Well done to those of you being so fit and healthy! Anyone else eating like a maniac like me?! 🤣🙈 I've baked every weekend, but hoping my daily walks balance it out! 😂

@Loladoodle you go girl! Oooft! 😈🤣👏🏻 Best not ask me for book recommendations - I love mainly trashy! Just like my TV! 😂

@FridaKFangirl @M4v3r1ck well after having cramps all day & then increasing tonight I've just got AF😫 was 10DPO today so was getting excited about testing aswel🙄 AF wasn't due until this Sunday cd28 & today is only cd25🤦‍♀️ I've never had it this early before😤 oh well onto the next cycle 😴😴😴 x

@Chlo2701 you sure it's period and not implantation?

👆🏽this

Fingers crossed that @claire and @Happyhappy37 are right @claireb707

Half my message disappeared!

Hoping it’s implementation @Chlo2701. I’m day 24 and symptom free so expect AF to appear in the next week or so! Hope we’re both still in

@claireb707 @Happyhappy37 @FridaKFangirl I'm 90% sure it's not implantation ladies. It's just been too uncomfortable to be that. Definitely feels like AF pain & cramps😣 & even though it started as brown there is now red blood. It's not heavy yet but it's still early, I have no doubt that I'll be in full flow AF by the morning🙈 🙄xx
