35yrs + and trying ✨🫶🏼

[SCK2024]

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 🌟

Getting myself ready for next cycle now - what OPKs do people recommend (I used the Premom app this month - but not the Premom OPKs!)

@Mummysparrow Im sorry too!
I feel your pain.

i tested this morning 10miu stark white neg too

i out a poll up on the Premom app last cycle. So don’t rule anything out @FlyHighSky72 its easily done and said I know

I cover my window so perfectly every cycle and nothing I feel like shit this time of the ttc

@SCK2024thanks for the poll - that’s useful! I know how you’re feeling, it’s so hard to keep the faith! I always think with stuff like this I’d be fine with getting a negative test if I knew that at some point before turn x age I will 100% get pregnant and have a baby! It’s just so stressful and I get so worried it’ll never happen

Same as you I use the app and the Flo app.
but love using the Premom more for the community questions and poll especially to upload your tests so I can see the lines clearly!
I use the easy at home from Amazon x

Thanks @SCK2024

Good morning, how are we all.
Im feeling a little sick today, but not bad.
i tested bfn again this morning ✨🫠

Finally had an LH peak yesterday morning and my DH is unwell. He’s been unwell for a week and we haven’t had sex at all - I was so upset! We managed it this morning, bless him. We’re away with all three children sleeping in one room for the rest of the weekend so it was our one shot. My last two luteal phases have been 5 days or less. Fingers crossed it lengthens and our one opportunity worked 🤞🤞🤞

@SCK2024 I've been feeling sick this week but I'm sure it's all in my head!

I took this test today and I know its my eyes playing tricks on me and that I shouldn't even trust clear blue as I've been stung by them before but I kept thinking that I could see something. You'd think that I'd be better at seeing a negative by now!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Mismatc! X

@ByJollyZebra
O haven’t had any experience myself with the running or used CB, just from what other ppl on the MN forums.
Keep testing! I have my fingers crossed for you?
what DPO are you?
I tested BFN again this morning. I think @ dpo 10 or 11 AF due next week.
feeling upset about it this month, it’s just so unfair, it must be coming as I’m feeling sensitive at the moment ✨✨

@SCK2024 I know exactly how you feel. Sending lots of hugs because it's horrible.
I tested negative this morning at about 13dpo. I've had some tears this morning and we've had a chat about the fact that it might not happen for us, if we don't fall this cycle then we're over a year into this now. We will still try but we think we need to be realistic.x

@ByJollyZebraand @SCK2024sorry to hear how your both feeling - me too, I’m 12 dpo period 1 day late and still a BFN! Waiting for AF to show is so painful

@Mummysparrowand @SophieP89hope you’re well - I’ve made a June ttc thread if you want to join?

@FlyHighSky72 yeah I am ok 13dpo and waiting for period to start tomorrow. Then I start all over again. Ok I will pop on to it 😁

@FlyHighSky72AF has just finished so will begin testing for ovulation again towards end of next week to help figure out my cycle.
Thank you, I will pop onto that thread x

@ByJollyZebra the 12 month mark isn't the be all and end all (although it feels a shitty milestone to hit, as does the 2 and 3 year ones!!).... DD1 was conceived naturally 16 months/10 very random cycles into TTC, and DD2 only just hit the 12 month mark. Have faith xxx

I'm trying @curliegirlie, we know it could still happen but we both just have this gut feeling that it won't for us. We've got some more tests coming up so will see if we get some answers.

Period started today so letting myself feel shitty for the night before trying to be positive for the next cycle.
X

Same AF arrived today 😢

Aww sorry to hear that @SCK2024.

I made the silly mistake of testing (twice!) today at 9dpo (just because that's when I got the positive in Feb - never used to test then with any kind of expectation!) and either I've got my fingers burnt with two indents or it might be the beginning of something. I guess tomorrow might tell.....I think at this stage I'm just so desperate it's making me see things 🤪 but I also know how ridiculously unlikely it is!...This is the best pic I've got of my second one, which tells you everything you need to know really...

@curliegirlie honestly.. before I even opened the pic for a better look I could definitely see a 2nd line!!!!
I think and hope this is your lucky month!!!
try again tomorrow! 😁🫶🏼xx

Got hubby to do a semen analysis yesterday and results just came back and not only are they good, they are pretty much super sperm so clearly the issue is either my crusty eggs or I have issues with implantation 😭

Yep, that second line was apparently real 🤯

It might not be your eggs lovely, sometimes partners are not compatible.. sorry cannot remember if you have other children or not.

Have you had your egg reserve checked?
my OH has his sperm analysis soon too.

i have my hyscosy beginning of June too x

This is amazing NEWS!!!
I knew I saw that 2nd line congratulations!!!!🥳 🙌🏽💕✨

My period has lasted 1 day (yday) nothing today, red in colour.
i don’t even think the slightest of anything hopeful at all.
just odd.
my bloods are all fine, just an odd cycle.

I just need to share with someone…

Today CD 10 I have my strong peak!

… however OH is on nights and I’m at work 🫠🫠

I have had a cancellation appt for ultrasound this afternoon then my hycosy next week 🫠

We were very active Sat-Monday BDing

Could the ultrasound see anything (swimmers waiting in the tube for my egg (assuming due to release of it hasn’t already as strong peak today) who knows?!

will a early pregnancy test be too early if my next Thursday before my hycosy??

🥴🫠😩
