30 Somethings - The Clocks Ticking!

[Fishwife]

I was pretty thrilled, I must say. I didn't take pictures (I wish I had now), but I did hang on to it for about two days, then thought it probably wouldn't be good to keep it any longer!

Day 28 of this cycle (the first on Agnus Castus) is tomorrow but my cycle is usually about 30/31 days. I'm going to try holding off testing until next Wednesday, provided AF doesn't get me in the meantime, as that will be 10 clear days since my last +ve opk and we last dtd. Incredibly, I've already past the 10-day goalpost since the first and second times since I got a faint +ve opks. I feel queasy with anticipation - I'm such a wimp!

The Preseed arrived and when it did, I realised how much this ttc lark has changed me. Before, I'd have been far too embarrassed to even consider looking it up online, but I didn't even bat an eyelid ordering it! I've never tried a mooncup/softcup but am seriously thinking about using them together with the Preseed if it's back to the drawing board next month.

well sounds like you're still in with a chance this month - any sign of the yet?

Maybe you won't need the preseed afterall?

Hi All. Can I join you?

Im 36 (as of yesterday) and ttc my 5th child, well I will be after I get from having my coil removed on 26th june. I have 4 children already aged 17,14,13 and 16months. The first 3 from my ex husband and the baby with my new partner. Having originally deciding to wait until she was 3 to even discuss another one, about 2 months ago he sent me a message while i was at working saying he couldnt wait until we had another child and how about starting immediately. I spent the next month trying to find out if he was really sure about this and then arranged for my coil to be removed.

Im now sat waiting impatiently for the with my body playing tricks on me I have sore tender boobs, nausea and sickness, lots of gas and constipation.................I would love for it to be a but im more realistic than that, so im waiting until the 26th july before i even thin about testing.

Anyway sorry for boring you with my long story and hope to get to know you all soon

Hey you xxxx

and HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!

Welll a little sibling with that age gap would be great - it must be lovely for you to hear that from your OH. So did you time it right this month - is there a chance that you could be the luckiest TTC-er on here!!!

 

[spencerbear]

Really not sure.

Just thought we would wait for first then start trying properly after that but we didnt take any precautions and they say that your fertility returns as soon as it has been taken out. I cant judge it acturately as I havent had a since i concieved our youngest because i had my coil fitted when i was still breasrfeeding.

Hence the waiting un til coil was removed for a month before testing and that is currently killing me as its still about 11 days away yet

[spencerbear]

How are things going for you all right now?

Im in the 2ww and trying to occupy myself so i dont think about it

 

[cazd]

I got super impatient and started the fertility testing early!

We're waiting for a date to see a fertility specialist - I just can't wait any more!!!

 

[spencerbear]

Fx'd it all goes well for you

 

[cazd]

Thanks xx

Do you think you're in with a good chance this time?

 

[spencerbear]

I dont think so, not sure why i feel like that. We did everything when we were supposed to. Maybe its a defence mechanism...

Ive always known i was pregnant with my others before i missed my AF but then ive never actually planned a pregnancy before, just got caught.
This time round im planning and it feels different. But then i do still have 10 days left till my Af is due so you just dont know.

having typed all thisnot sure its making sense!!!

 

[cazd]

Ooh - that must be great though - so you know what that 'knowing' feelings like.

10 days to go though - there's plenty of time to symptom spot like crazy!

I do feel the same thing - we get past Ov and then I'm all convinced that we haven't made it but symptom spot like mad anyway!

 

[Freyasmum]

Hiya!
I'm at the end of the 2WW, which passed by in a flash this month! The only symptoms I've been spotting are more to do with a head cold, I think... Headache, snot, tired... no sore bbs (seems odd to be disappointed about that!), which was the first sign for me last time.
I'm so chill about the whole thing these days though, so am not too concerned. This month, next month, whatever. It' weird, because it's not like I've changed my mind about wanting the baby at all, I've just stopped getting all stressed about when it's going to happen. I guess that's a good thing, right?
