TTC 35+ Thread 2 Cougar And Silver Fox Club

[Loladoodle]

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

When do people start using these!? Im only had withdrawal bleed from implant and one period long cycle than i thought i had so when using apps im unsure of data to use.
Wanting to track to check im ovulating after being on implant so long
But unsure when to start

@Happyhappy37 I'm not an expert, but from personal experience I would take that as a peak. I have found I ovulate very soon after I get a reading like that. But the going from low LH to LH peak and then ovulation seems to happen very quickly for me for some reason.

Fingers crossed @lucieloos and @PinkTulipz think our AF all due around same time. Im due any time really between now and Fri! Any symptoms ladies? I'm just so constipated 🙈 Tmi sorry. 😂 and very hormonal so could be AF or PG 🙏🙏

@Happyhappy37 hey lovely. How are you? How's the exercise going? I'm pretty sure I usually ovulate around CD9, my daughter was definitely conceived cd8 so definitely possible. 🤞 Get down to it! 😂🙏 xxx

@Lynnysong, you absolutely are Amazons! Are you taking the vitamins and boosts as a multivitamin or are these separate?

@FridaKfangirl BOGOF eggs! 😂😂😂 Sorry my spreadsheet isn't shareable! We basically put all our wages and itemised bills/outgoings in, and have then calculated how much money we'll lose to mat leave and childcare, so are aiming to save as much as possible now to give us a good buffer! We've also put in a rough budget for various baby stuff. I found this blog when researching and it contains a suggested spreadsheet: www.mrsmummypenny.co.uk/maternity-leave-survive-salary-drop-savedearnt-2700-tips-tricks/

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for BFPs from at least one egg, never mind multiples! 😂😘

@lucieloos @PinkTulipz @MrsTtobe hoping for 3 bfps this week for you all!!!

@Happyhappy37 I would take that as a positive as well and get to it!

@MrsTtobe I don't really have any symptoms, well mild cramping and bloating but nothing that couldn't be attributed to af's imminent arrival. Mine is also due somewhere between tomorrow and Friday so looks like we're both on the same timings although I think mines most likely tomorrow / thursday.

@M4v3r1ck I'm super impressed with your budgeting skills, you need to be the group's official admin and sort out who's cycle is due and in what order we all are. 😂

Same here @lucieloos symptoms that could be dreaded AF or a little bean but think im more likely due tomorrow/ Thurs too.🙏

Thank you @Loladoodle I'm nervous already. Thinking how I could buy a test if I need to. I look so suspicious walking up and down the aisles and looking around incase I know anyone. If you see a crazy woman in a supermarket hovering by the tests... that's me people! 🙈😂

Thank you @M4v3r1ck for the link!
Fingers crossed for BFPs this week @lucieloos @PinkTulipz @MrsTtobe

I’ve no idea when AF will appear as it’s my first month after withdrawal bleed. I’ve told myself I’m only going to POAS if I get to CD40 which is 4th July...

Good luck all xx im getting all anxious again and hate that.. Im pleased im back at work again less time in day spent thinking about ttc.
Bit unsure of ovulation or when will occur was hoping someone could advise on pic i added
Wanting to see if ovulate and when as only one cycle post implant withdrawal bleed
Xx

@MrsTtobe ive brought from local shop last month would think i was a spy so this time ordered online so there in for when needed. Going try hold out as long as possible before testing x

@MrsTtobe I am fine thanks. I have not done too much exercise tbh, did some. Will be doing a run tomorrow. Am still doing okay food wise. How are you doing?
🤞🏾Fingers crossed for you.

@Posy1 and @lucieloos thank you. Seems like I ovulated earlier than what my period tracker says.

@Matilda19 I am using the same brand. How far are you in your cycle? It's these lovely ladies that have been teaching me. I only just started using them last month.
Only reason why I checked opk was because of the EWCM yesterday. Test out one of them later or tomorrow and send us a picture. Good luck to you.

To all you ladies in TWW , a massive good luck. Hoping to see multiple BFPs 😊😊

🙏🏽

@lynnysong sounds like you are doing loads! Every month you'll get more and more fertile and then boom!

This is the quiz to figure out Chinese pattern practicallyfertile.s3.amazonaws.com/new+pattern+quiz-TE.pdf

Super interesting article julesbogdanski.com/fertility-acupuncture-bbt-charting/

I am now 5 days late (the latest I have ever been in my life) but only BFNs. I've run out of FRERs now so just going to wait it out for a few more days 🤞🏼

@Happyhappy37 thanks will do one and see what it shows. Im cd11 I think wasnt sure when to start trying them. All very exciting.
Lots of baby dust to all

@farfromperfect82 fingers crossed keep us posted x

Evening all @MrsTtobe I've been getting everything online- Amazon prime generally comes the next day and can be cheaper than Boots etc I know what you mean about the furtive shopping though! Ignore us- we're only kidding, you test when you're ready. ☺️
@Matilda19 I've had one cycle but AF was earlier than expected so think I'll start OPK again in a couple of days. I don't use those strips but I would say start at CD9 at latest. If they're not too expensive then it's nothing wasted to test a few extra days to make sure you get a good idea of your cycle?

🙈 sorry I didn't see your latest post! Start tomorrow 👍

Ooohhhh 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for those BFPs!!! 😍

@MrsTtobe don't joke! I'll end up doing that! We love spreadsheets a little too much in this house! 😜😂🤓

@farfromperfect82 looking forward to reading/trying these! 😃

Hey can I ask a dumb question? What the difference between strips and digital OPKs? Why would you use one over the other?

I am using Clear Blue Advanced and just wondering if it's accurate enough.

X

@lastditchattempt20 great thanks for info i will do one and upload tomorrow xx

@M4v3r1ck ohhh I think a spreadsheet of what cycle we are on, age, when af/bfp due would be great 🙈

@farfromperfect82 I've used the strips previously but they are a bit open to interpretation. I decided to switch to the cb advanced opk for my last 2 cycles since we starting ttc this time around and I prefer them as you get the smiley faces so you know when you in high and peak fertile times are.

Thank you @FridaKFangirl 🙏😬🤞😊

@matilda19 and @lastditchattempt20 😂😂thank you both for thinking of me with my pg test anxiety. It sounds daft but ive never thought about getting them online. 🙈 I will order one for next month! Just the one though. 😂😂
Hope you're ok @matila19 with your anxiety? I suffer from health anxiety and it comes in waves but since the miscarriage combined with covid mine has been off the scale.

@Happyhappy37 I'm ok thank you. Well... my exercise is going really well.3 mile walk yesterday and 3 mile today. But my healthy eating not really going to plan 😬 damn why does cadburys fruit and nut taste so good 🙈😔😂 x

@M4v3r1ck I think I love you 😂😂😂I need you in my life. You sound so organised and the complete opposite to me. Im chaos! 😳😂

First try

Fellow spreadsheet-nerd here @M4v3r1ck! I think you need to organise us!

So tried adding to app that took some time to get the pic to work just says 0.17 low which im assuming after some reading cd 11 last cycle was 34 days thats what would expect?! X
