TTC 35+ Thread 4 Cougar and Silver Fox Club

[Sleeeeeepy]

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

Hi @selina37 what's the tube dye test for? What do you have to do for it? Good luck xx

Hi @Loll35 it's to check there are no blockages in the tubes.
They put a dye into the tubes and check it's travelling through ok.
I'm quite looking forward to it, though it will hurt; it isn't meant to improve fertility or anything but some have said it clears the tubes somewhat, or 'damages' them so that they heal themselves and hopefully work better.

Good luck with the test @Loll35, hope it goes well xx

My temp has dropped this morning 😢 am not hopeful

What does it mean when the temp drops ? Does that mean Aunt flow is coming ?

Potentially yes 😢

Ah OK I see @selina37 hope it goes well and does the job. Is it something you have to go to private clinic for? I had some blood tests done at beginning of year through NHS (came back normal) they said they won't investigate further until dp has sa. Then the pandemic hit so feel like we may have to start again and need to talk to him about getting checked! Will take a few months to do anything knowing him!

Morning all. Does everyone ovulate the same day each month?
I've been getting high opks on day 10 or 11 only on cycle 3 . I'm now on day 10 and not even had a flashing smiley. I normally get flashing smiley day 8 and 9 xx

@SnowWhite1985 gosh you and your family have been through so much! Sending much love! 😘 I think most of us are similar in that we haven't shared our TTC journey with many family members/friends, so it's so nice to feel connected and have people to talk and vent to! 😃

@Happyhappy37 wow big changes incoming for you! Good luck with it all! You're so zen and calm, so I know everything will go smoothly! 😍

@selina37 hope everything goes ok with tube test, and it doesn't hurt too much! Make sure you give yourself extra TLC this month! 😘

Boooo to the AFs, and 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for the remaining testers! Hoping AF does not appear for me in the next week or so!

Thank you. Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏾 good luck 🙂

AF arrived last night just in time for my birthday today 😬🥳 Still, this is a good excuse to eat cake in my humble opinion!

@claireb707 its so disappointing when temp drops isn't it 😕
🤞its not over. What day are you on? With my toddler I had a dip around 9dpo.

@Sleeeeeepy 😭 have a cocktail?

I'm 10dpo

Had cramps all morning and have just gone really hot and dizzy (took temp and it wasn't that high - 36.57, so not the dreaded 'rona lol)

Am really hoping it goes back up tomorrow and it is implantation dip

@Sleeeeeepy large slice of cake for you! And I agree with @Keepeas have a cocktail!

@shinylovesshoes @Keepeas I like your style, maybe not during work hours 😂

I have a massive chocolate cake DH got me, I had a huge slice for lunch 🥳🐷😂

Cd3 here and bored. I hate this part. Waiting for af to pass and fw to hurry up is a nightmare i feel like I’m just wishing away days of my life! Work is crazy here and I haven’t been on much but hope everyone is doing ok. Had a little catch up of the thread there!

@M4v3r1ck thanks for the well wishes, so kind of you. Fingers crossed for your 2ww! How many DPO are you now? I’ve been really busy with work the past couple of days so has taken my mind off the venting and pain a bit! Still having trouble sleeping though. Had the first of my doctors appts today, so we’ll see. I feel no hope for this cycle at all as it’s been a weird One so won’t bother to test obsessively like I usually do. Having said that my temp went shooting up today, not sure what that means - probably nothing!

Morning all, @Sleeeeeepy glad you had cake and. I hope, cocktails! Hope you had a lovely Birthday!

How are you feeling @claireb707?

@LT103 it’s so hard to not try and hurry the days along wherever you are in the cycle I think. Hopefully AF will bugger off soon.

I had planned to test today as I’d had what I thought were a few symptoms over the last few days and today is 13DPO (or at least 13 days post static smiley) .

I’ve decided to wait and see until Saturday though. The symptoms have died down and to be honest I could do with not being distracted by either a BFP or the disappointment of a BFN during the next couple of days at work...

Hope everyone has a good day ☀️

Well temp did go back up this morning so 🤞🤞🤞

Had indigestion last night and struggled to get comfy from sore boobs. Am a little hopeful but don't want to get hopes up too much in case it's pms

Im fuming with myself. We haven't dtd for a few days . Been using cb opks. Had blank face everyday . Then today had stafic smiley . No other symptoms.

Has anyone else had no flashing smiley then a peak . Am I to late now xx

This is similar to how I’ve been feeling the last few days... especially as I had a weird nausea/dizziness turn in the middle of Tuesday night... plus loads of dreams about getting a BFP never had those before! 😂

I’m trying to balance my hopefulness with my realism...

@Hayleywoody82 I’ve not had this but I know it can happen I think I’ve seen it said here or another thread and in the CB leaflet.

I don’t think you’re too late if you can DTD Today? The static means ovulation in 12-36 hours usually so if this is the start of the peak it’s definitely worth trying to ‘get one in’ so to speak!😂

With SMEP you DTD for three days straight when you get a static smiley so you’re definitely not too late.

@FridaKFangirl thankyou . Right ill get to it 😊

I've had this, I think it means you started testing after your oestrogen had already started to rise, so it registered your baseline level too high and you never got the flashing smiley. What day did you start testing and what day are you today?
