30-somethings TTC #1 Testing and Support Thread!

Hey everyone,

asteri - sorry about your BFN - but still early days! Plenty of time for it to turn into a BFP...fingers crossed for you!

Hey wantingagirl - I know, people can be so insensitive. It makes me wonder if I said similar things to people before I was TTC...I am sure I probably have at some point - never will again! I don't think anyone realises what it is like until they are in the situation.

Springflower - so sorry love :hugs: its' crappy but I am glad you are feeling positive about this new cycle and you seem to have a good plan in place. I am planning to try softcups too - people have assured me that they are easy to use. Hope you are ok and good luck for this cycle :hugs::hugs:


Well, I think I got my positive OPK today! Finally! I am going to keep testing tomorrow just in case, but it is definitely the darkest I have seen. Hoping so - can't afford for it to come much later! BD'd again tonight and hopefully will be in the 2WW soon...

Good luck to those that are due to test soon! Let's see some more BFPs xx
 
Hi everyone

sorry for everyone that the:witch: got.

Well think I have probably O'd, things have been a little tense this cycle so I gave up with the OPK's and SMEP. Weekend was a bit busy but so far we have managed to get a few sessions of loving BDing (the lots of cuddles kind), but I don't think it will be our month.

CM has been a little strange, usually get some EWCM right on time around O day but this time only got a bit for a day or two (friday and sat).

Think I might give temping a try this next cycle and see if it shows anything.
 
:hugs: to all the :witch: has got.

I've been crazy busy this week. DH is taking me on vacation for my birthday next week and we are trying to get everything done before we leave.

:dust: tons of dust for all!
 
HI Everyone just catching up.:hugs::hugs: for those that got caught by AF this time. I'm still not sure if I Ovulated yet. I'm temping but they seem out of wack this month- higher than normal, FF hasn't detected anything yet. I went for accupuncture today to help with fertilization and implantation- I hope it helps!!
Good luck to everyone else who is still waiting. FX!!:hug::hug:
 
Ok, So my testing date is tomorrow. In the meantime, I have a question.
I am also temping. If my temperature has started to drop does that mean that :witch: in on the way?

Thanks in advance.
 
Springflower yay softcups are ace and are far less scarier than what they look

Parkgirl wicked your getting away for a holiday

Ejay I really hope this is the cycle for you

Smurfette FX it helps

Butterfly have you tested, Im not sure about temping at all
 
Hey everyone! Well, I think today is O day for me! Finally!! OPKs went pretty dark yesterday and are now getting lighter...so I am taking that as it's happening now. Plus had cramps and ewcm couple of days ago but has stopped now, so yep, officially decided that O is happening.

We have BD'd yesterday and the day before, going to try and sneak one in tonight..my poor OH has been sick so he's not feeling full of energy...but if I do all the work he seems to manage!

Ejay - sorry things have been a bit tense this month - is that with the job stress? Lovely that you have had some nice cuddly BDing. I always have a plan for next month too - this time it is softcups and something to lengthen my LP.

parkgirl - yay for going on holiday! and happy birthday! where are you going?

smurffette - oh, I have heard great things about acupuncture and fertility - hope it works well for you! Let me know - I am keen to look into this too.

butterfly, I don't temp but from what I have picked up, your temp dropping could be a sign that AF is coming, or could be an implantation dip - CD13 is a bit late for implantation but not at all impossible There may be other reasons too, but I'm not sure of them! Fingers crossed for you!!
EDIT: I just saw that ttcstill in the SMEP thread has found temp charts that showed a dip right before AF should be due, but they ended up BFP! So I wouldn't worry too much (if that's possible)...just wait and see what the next few days bring..x

Hey wantingagirl - how you doing? xx
 
Hie Ladies
Im sad today,wasnt feeling well so i went to doc. He did a test and it was BFN, Im so disappointed. AF is due on the 8th,i dont know if i should stil remain hopeful? Im kinda worried coz im on 12dpo,thought i should be getting a BFP by now.

It may have been love - not everyone shows up that early - in fact, some people don't get their BFP until well after AF is due. It has been said so many times - but don't count yourself out until AF arrives. Are you having any symptoms? Hang in there :hugs:
 
The witch made an appearance this morning so I'm out (was testing on the 6th).
 
:hugs: butterfly and rompy :hugs:

LuckyD - you are so good with the encouragement and advice! :thumbup:
 
:hugs: to all those that have gotten their AF.

:dust: to all those waiting for bfp's

and congratulations to those that have got their bfp's

I am 6 dpo today, these days are dragging.

Thank you so much LuckyD, needed that. i think i will take my mind off testing for now. I will only test on the 9th if AF doesnt show.

I went to the doc coz i have been having cramps for the past 2 days. Its more on the left side, thought it was something to do with AF coming but this morning it got too serious. My boobs are normal though which is sort of disappointing.

Anyway im keeping my fingers crossed.

Goodluck to u and DH,hope this cycle will be a good one for you.:flower:
 
Lucky D - I think I will wait till the 30th to test as AF came late last month so I'm going to ignore things for a while. Could you put me down for the 30th please? :thumbup:
 
So sorry butterfly :hugs::hugs: hope you are doing ok. Fingers crossed for you for next month :hugs:

Aw, thanks Jaimie! I get so much encouragement here, hope that I can give a little back..

hang in there giggles - almost into the 1ww!

Rompy - glad that you are feeling a bit better. Not everyone gets sore BBs - honestly, everyones symptoms are different. I am definitely crossing my fingers for you for the 9th!!! :hugs:

Hippietea - no problems, have added your date :flower: good luck!


Well, I have decided I am officially 1DPO today - FINALLY in the 2WW!! Although with my cycles, it is going to be more of a 10 day wait...

Hope you are all doing well xxxx
 
Hiya all, in bed and this is my only real chance to catch up with everyone.

Hi Giggles great to see you.

Am in the 2WW now, although no clue when I actually O'd it's a mystery this cycle, have not OPK'd or anything, am winging it.
 
Go Lucky!! Well done you in getting to the 2ww hope it flys by. Wish my O would hurry up but Im only CD3 so early days.

Lots of PMA this month girls going to see if it does the trick...
 
Thanks LuckyD for your kind words. It's still fairly early days for us trying so I am trying to be as positive as possible. DH's looking forward to more practising too!
 
Wow- I am sooo excited for everyone who has already gotten their BFPs!!! Congratulations.

I haven't checked in here in a little bit. I am trying so hard not to be too obsessed this month:) I definitely feel calmer than last month and I am hoping to avoid symptom spotting. We'll see how that goes. Tomorrow will be 1dpo, so the countdown starts now!
