TTC 35+ Thread 4 Cougar and Silver Fox Club

[Sleeeeeepy]

Yes it's Thread FOUR! Baby dust all round!

GOOD LUCK @Parsleyrose - keeping everything crossed for you that it’s a BFP, and hoping you can also stay positive if it’s not the result you’re hoping for. I totally empathise how hard it is getting a BFN. I get so down when that happens. Hoping that last test is the last one you need xx
How frustrating @FridaKFangirl - hoping it is implantation for you!
I’m trying not to test this month until after AF is due. Always get my hopes up then get super depressed. Plus I think this month is a no go as we DTD so much around what I thought was ovulation but now the apps say O was later so we likely mistimed :( will try to do better next month. My temps are REALLY high at the moment (over 37 which is super unusual for me), but I’m wondering if it’s this hot weather (not sure how much the weather / heat of the bedroom affects bbt).

@M4v3r1ck - hoping AF doesn’t appear for you!

Hugs to all for a relaxing weekend xx

Thank you @SnowWhite1985! It's not progressed since 6.30am... so here's hoping...

It's DH's 40th soon so at least if its a BFN then I can have a drink with everyone else...that's what I'm telling myself anyway...

@FridaKFangirl 🤞it's an implantation bleed! I keep going to the bathroom to see if AF has arrived - so far I haven't had any sort of bleeding but I do have a really 'wet' feeling down there (sorry, really TMI). Good luck with your test xxx

Thanks @Parsleyrose, I've no bleeding either really just a very slightly darker mark on the tissue but nothing obvious to anyone but me... I'm giving it until Midday...at least!

13dpo here, did a ic and bfn 😢
Temp, resting heart rate and breathing rate all went up today (temp considerably)
Just been out on my bike and felt sick the whole way round and a bit dizzy probably shouldn't have gone but need the exercise

Also my cervix has gone really high up this morning

Sorry @claireb707 to hear about the BFN. Hope the sickness & nausea passes.

I don't know enough about temperatures etc...could those readings mean there's still hope?

@claireb707 sorry about the bfn. Your other signs sound good though so hopefully it’s just to early for test to show 🤞🤞🤞

I’m out - BFN for me 😭 Not sure what’s going on at my AF has never been this late before

Sorry @Parsleyrose - I'm out too, BFN... so I assume AF is on her way... nevermind, onwards to cycle 4 for me...once AF makes an appearance...

I’m really sorry to hear that @FridaKFangirl I was hoping that today was our day!

AF is a real dickhead! 😡 I fully expect mine to show it’s face now I’ve had the bfn

Oh you can guarantee it @Parsleyrose

@Parsleyrose
@FridaKFangirl
I’m so sorry ladies 😭😭😭

I'm sorry ladies, that sucks ☹️ It's such a horrible feeling x

Thanks @Sleeeeeepy and @SnowWhite1985

Time start thinking about cycle 12 (when it shows up!). I think I might try using a soft cup after DTD. Has anyone here given that a go?

Sorry @Parsleyrose and @FridaKFangirl. 🤞🏼for next month.
I tried using a menstrual cup after sex this month but found it quite uncomfortable (as opposed to during my period when I find it helps reduce pain). May have just inserted it awkwardly but found I couldn’t sleep so took it out and didn’t bother the next time

[quote Hayleywoody82]@M4v3r1ck 🤭🤭 its defiantly a perk to working from home xx[/quote]
We've also taken advantage of WFH a few times to fit in with fw 😁 its when the moon Cup comes in handy 😂

sorry to hear about BFNs 🙁
My OH is due to go for SA on Monday, so im holding off any testing till after he's been 😂 ...but i haven't had any symptoms so far, so not hopeful for this cycle

I've used a moon cup this month some of the time. I didnt around my peak...not sure why, I guess I don't want to change too many things

I spoke with my GP yesterday and she’s got me booked in for blood tests etc and DP in for blood tests and SA....I was surprised how quickly it was done, she did say they haven’t had many referrals at the moment as people are either putting off TTC or not going to GP etc so was easy to get us booked in. DP not too thrilled about the SA (he’s already got 2 kids) but happy to get it done to find out if there’s any issue with either/both of us and then we can take it from there

Oh look 👀 Who just turned up to ruin my Saturday Afternoon...AF! Oh well... I can have a beer later!

More seriously, I'm assuming that I shouldn't be concerned that my last three cycles have been 26, 25 and 23 days? I seem to get AF on DPO 15 each time and was on the pill for 20 years until these cycles so I assume it might take time level out.

@FridaKFangirl

Oh look 👀 Who just turned up to ruin my Saturday Afternoon...AF! Oh well... I can have a beer later!

😢😢😢 so sorry @FridaKFangirl

Enjoy your beer! 🍻🍻

Enjoy your beer @FridaKFangirl! Every cloud has a silver lining....

My AF is being stubbornly absent. If it’s going to happen I wish it would just hurry up so I can have a coffee tomorrow morning!

@FridaKFangirl sorry to hear about af. Hope you enjoyed your beer!!!

I had a proper night out last night for the first time in ages!!!! Cd7 and Getting near fw so I’m being good from now on!! Haha

Thank you all! I did and DH was really supportive and we had a good chat about how we knew it might take time (I generally have anxiety around ‘achieving’). I’m feeling positive today.

Glad you had a good night out @LT103, sounds fun! :)

@Parsleyrose how are you getting on today?
