I am now 37 and have one beautiful 10yrs old boy, my partner has 2 boys 9 & 13yrs.

I bought the Hertility kit online, not yet opened it… I was going to give this cycle my last attempt before investigating 🙃

We got pregnant a year ago but due to personal circumstances we both decided to not go ahead, this I carry so much guilt over 🪃

Now we are both ready and settled in our careers and home but now it has taken nearly 6/7cycles.

today I got my 1st + ovulation test, so beginning our January TWW.

what is everyone else’s story 🌟

@SCK2024 hopefully it means something positive. I’m on CD4 now and my period is so heavy! Won’t be too long until fertile window! 🙏😆

Wanting everyone’s opinion please 🙏

screenshot are my OPK tests, the peak is a dried out test which has shown my highest but I wouldn’t suggest it actually is just because it’s dried out darkest.. but the one below it is equally as dark.

so if that is my peak (17th) would my ovulation day be estimated 19th (24-36hrs)

would that make me DPO 9/10?

AF due 1st April x

Hiya @SCK2024when I get my peak I usually take ovulation to be 2 days later as this would be the latest time it would have happened so you are like 10DPO at the latest. Luckily for me I feel ovulation and from having my peak the longest time it took me to ovulate was no more than 24 hours and the quickest time it happened with a peak was 8 hours! So fingers crossed!

😂😂😂 don’t blame you! I bought 50 internet pink dye cheapies and have 2 clearblues and 2 Frers! Think that will last me a little bit! 😂😂 I managed to not use any expensive ones the last two cycles! Hoping they get used this cycle for the right reasons!! 😂x

I do for you too! You have plenty there! 😂

I used the first response 2/3days ago.

ill just get the cheapies today if I do… wasting wages on tests every month 🫠😂

I have my new batch of opk for next cycle already but hoping this is my cycle, especially as I went further lengths this time and used the fertility cups and BD 2days pre and post and on ovulation day ✨🫶🏼

@BabyBorn Thankyou lovely, I haven’t tested today, with it being Mother’s Day we’ve all been busy.

still no AF this next cycle I’m not hoping to fall pregnant I don’t want another NYE baby and Xmas all in one 😅

Just have to see if AF shows then I’ll do another test 🥰

You definitely would be buzzing 😂 I’ve had two weeks of slipping off the slope with food and alcohol with various celebrations and a holiday and I’m back on it this week now!

How are you this morning? Have you tested?

Im just starting my BDing as I’m in the fertile window now! X

Get happy bouncing! 😂😂😂
your going to be exhausted! 😆
No AF today 🤷🏻‍♀️ I thought I had mild cramps earlier this morning but they disappeared, I’m just going with I’m out as had bfn again this morning.
I assume ugly AF will show her head this week at some point, never late usually but we will see 🙃
Good luck for this cycle girl! 🫶🏼✨💕

I know, it’s started to get me down now 😓

I'm 38 this month, my mum had me at 40 and she’s nearly 79 I feel as though I don’t have many healthy years with her left which really plays on my mind I feel I’d be doing the same.

I just wish it would just happen, I use the concieve lube, fertility cup all my bloods were fine, he’s doing a sample too.
we have conceived before but we made a now regrettable decision to not go ahead at the time and now struggling 😓

as you said… i really hope this is our year so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️✨✨ how are you? What DPO are you on now? Did you get your bounce on last night 😂 x
