TTC 35+ Thread 8

[M4v3r1ck]

New thread ladies! Hope this works! 😃

I get the equivalent of flashing for quite a while on the other CB monitor @MgW1

Sometimes as long as day 8-17 before O on day 18. More than 10 (like this ovulation free month) confuses my monitor.

Hi @Magnum99 🤞🏻 all your dtd has done the trick! My oh seems like that sometimes and others he's the complete opposite 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Farfaraway1 sorry for the bfn and that you're feeling bad. It's such a hard journey ttc

@Lalala1985 try complaining and say they didn't work and they may give you another lot

@climbershell woohooo congratulations!

@thislittlebird mine aways just have little feint lines on them so I'm no help at all sorry 🙁

@MgW1 the first month I used them I got 8/9 (last month) then this time I got 1 🤷🏼‍♀️

Are you planning another set of day 21 tests @Marvellouslymadmum? I saw you say you thought it was a fluke when you had the high progesterone. I do get positives on CB and they’re clearly lines in the window but obviously this month it’s hard to know what’s going on.

Kinda weird the monitor won’t just do it when you ask it to, it’s on its own schedule

@thislittlebird they have a mind of their own! I'm trying to get a doc phone app again this week then I can speak to them about that and my dodgy Lp etc

Amazing, congratulations @climbershell!

@M4v3r1ck yes we are cycle buddies! I'm on cd6 today 😊

@climbershell yeeeeessssss! Congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉

Thanks, kinda doesn't seem real! Not told my partner yet

Came off the pill a year ago, had been trying without banging every fertile day every month, half heartedly tracking first few months. Last 5 cycles been dtd a crazy amount in the fertile window

I have such a physical job, especially at this time of year.. Another month of absolute mayhem.. Recently found someone to help on an ad hoc basis, the search for a proper part time employee just stepped up I guess!!

Excellent @climbershell Take it easy won't you?!

Do you feel ok? Any symptoms? (I always like to ask lol!)

Congratulations @climbershell! Hope you keep well. Sprinkle some baby dust for the rest of us! xx

That's amazing @climbershell !! If you thought TTC was distracting / all encompassing, this news has got to take that up a level! Have you shared the news with your OH yet? xx

@climbershell congrats so pleased for you.

AF is finished for me and on to cycle 3 and daily poas. I’m attempting to lose some weight as well. Day 2 and I’m starving I miss the giant cookies I have with my tea.

Thanks all, it still feels so surreal!

I'll wait til this evening when we're both home from work to tell him

I'm switching between so excited, emotional and worrying of the high miscarriages rates!!

@climbershell congratulations ❤❤❤

I started use the Easy@home sticks last month and it was once a day before and twice a day when it got peak. Today is says test twice a day on the app, is that normal?

Ahhhh @climbershell - I am made up for you!!! May it kick start a load more good luck for the ladies in this thread xx

PS I have ordered Maca root for my OH after recent posts on this thread lolll

@Pamparam I hope it does kick start for everyone else!!

@selina37 I am extremely fit and good shape, used to being v, v, v active in work and leisure, but yes I'm going to start booking less into my work diary deffo!

Aww huge congrats @climbershell !!! How exciting! I hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy x

@thislittlebird I just think it must be as nothings shown up on scans and I know endo can be in tubes or on ovaries.
Well remembered! Yeah nhs has sped up so figured we may as well just wait n get it free! 2-3 more months and we can start! 😬 What's latest with you?
@Magnum99 I don't tend to symptom spot, you stop after 19 months of ttc 😂 too heartbreaking! I'm just waiting for ivf now. Oh and my Dh never knows when I'm ovulating unless I tell him. It's always me doing the come on 🤦🏾‍♀️ lol at the I'm/you're mistake 😆
@climbershell congratulations 🥳 is it your first pregnancy?

OMGGGGG @climbershell YASSSSSSS 🎉

@MgW1 how many have you had so far? Mine was crazy early this month on CD9. I’ve only used opks for 2 months but on both occasions I’ve only had one flashing and static the next day, so this month I surged on Day 10 which felt crazy! I guess even with regular periods your ov day moves.

@climbershell woohoo!!! 🎉 congratulations 👏 amazing news!!!! 😁

@notyetamumbuttrying yes it's my first! I'm 36, my partner 42. First for both of us

I'm feeling SO odd today!! Don't believe it's true haha.

So, if it all works out app says 11 Dec due date. Actually perfect timing coz Dec-Feb are my quiet times at work. Nov I can cut back fair bit. Self employed own business, won't be able to fully stop working for maternity but be ok to more or less have mid Nov-Feb off 95% and without things falling apart and the business I've built collapsing!

Hi @Geriatric1234 I'm on my 4th month of using OPK and my peaks have been CDs 11-11-10-12. I've noticed that although my follicular phase is varying a little, my luteal phase seems to be staying the same. i.e AF always arrives exactly 14 days after my LH peak.
I know I am grasping at straws because of recent bad news with my FSH, but I'm taking this regularity as a good sign. I've read that a diminishing follicular phase is a sign of DOR, so I was really hoping that the CD10 peak that I got last month wasn't the start of a downwards spiral. I'm going for my 'CD21' progesterone blood test this month, which I now know will actually be CD19 for me, as it should be timed for 7 days prior to AF. Let's hope my maths is right!

Huge congratulations @climbershell amazing news, so happy for you. Here’s to an enjoyable and healthy pregnancy for you x
