30-somethings TTC #1 Testing and Support Thread!

[spicy]

Hello! I have done already a test and it was BFN ...I know it's early enough but I saw that some girls testing at 10dpo, and have positive results. So I tried too My temperature is up...is it good or no? I have no idea how must it be, if somebody is pregnant

Hey Peanut78 - do you know what's funny? I was also born in 1978 and my nickname was Peanut...no one called me anything else until I was about 6 years old. Hope you can find some BDing time in the next few months - how frustrating! If you do and you want me to add a testing date for you, just give me a shout. Good luck!!

hey spicy - 10 dpo is still early - don't worry about your BFN! Heaps of people don't get a positive until much later than that. I don't temp sorry - but from what I have picked up, your temp staying up is a good thing! Fingers crossed xx

I am finally feeling a bit better tonight..so I think by tomorrow will be back to normal.

Hope you are all having good weekends xx

Lucky - it was a DVD of an irish comedian, Ed Byrne? Dreadful but I kept myself awake with BnB

Peanut - welcome! I was born in 78 also, but not 32 until the end of the year. Did you think Preseed made that much difference then?

hello girls hope everyone is well.
Sorry to hear your news Nupu

just wanted to give you a quick update as I was due to test today. I have had cramping on and off for 3 days but no AF and still have high temps but so far just BFN's...I am 14dpo now and officially late. Will update you when I have news.

Looking forward to reading about many more bfps, congrats to the 2 bfps so far.

Good luck everyone

When are you going to test?

 

[SquirrelGirl]

ahhh thanks for asking hon...well I'm now 15dpo and officially a full day late for AF...my temp was down slightly this morning and thought i was out but still above coverline and no AF yet!!
I did an IC at 5am this morning but fell asleep there is a faint pink smudge (and I mean really faint) but i didnt stay to watch it so thinking it could have happend like an hour later and been an evap. I am doing a good test tomorrow morning if AF doesnt show


oh Spicy- there is no temp range for a pregnant women, you only know if you have a high BBT (first thing in the morning without moving) if you have been charting and your post O temps stay higher...its very individual for each woman. Feeling hot can be a sign though, good luck to you hon

 

[Waitng4Baby#1]

I'll be logging back on to check your results tomorrow!

 

[Britt11]

I'll be logging back on to check your results tomorrow!

ha ha you're too cute, I will be posting either way....just shows you testing early is not always a good thing, I wasted all my IC's

 

[LuckyD]

Hey ladies!

Woke up this morning feeling better - hurrah! Because I O'd so late I am almost into my 1WW already - although I am only 3 or 4dpo. AF due in one weeks time - yikes! Not sure what to feel about this month, just trying to chill about it all. Easier said than done.

Waiting4Baby - don't know Ed Byrne! But clearly he is not recommended by you ha ha...thank goodness for BnB! x

Hey Squirrel - yep, me too - NOT going to obsess about it. So someone needs to disable google on my computer.

Britt - aargh!! Good luck for testing tomorrow! Wow, am so impressed you can fall back to sleep after taking a test! Fingers crossed that your temps stay up and AF stays well away! Will be checking this thread looking for your update xx good luck

 

[smurffette]

Hi Everyone, well I think I am only 3 DPO. I really don't want to symptom spot but I will say that yesterday I crashed on the couch for the most solid deep sleep nap EVER. I never do that! Maybe it doesn't mean anything but really strange.....
How am I going to get through this TWW?????

 

[Hippietea]

So p****d off! OH has had man flu the past few days so haven't had a chance to BD this month, now my OD's have been and gone. Now he's going away on a course for a week, so there's no chance of catching the egg.
I did suggest several times to OH that we could try, but he's not got a very high sex drive at the best of times, so he made it clear it was out of the question. LuckyD, you are lucky indeed to be able to BD when your OH is ill!
Feel like I've got nothing to look forward to for another month now.

 

[amethyst77]

BFN from me No AF yet tho
(Last month was 35 day cycle, others have been 28, am currently on CD 31)

Britt - so what was the test results??????

Amethyst sorry to hear about the BFN but you're not out yet x

Hippie Ive had so many similar months where one thing or the other has happened which meant we did BD on the right days. Its really frustrating I know. If I look back on the 7 months we've been trying I think we have only BD on the right days about 2 of those months. Not much you can do hun and you never know there may still have been some hiding away in there. Have you considered getting your OH to take some supplements or something to help his sex drive? Im not an expert like some of the other girls on here but there must be something natural!

Hey girls, sorry just logged on....actually I got AF late last night
thats okay I finally have a heavy period after coming off of BCP (was on it for so many years its crazy) so the Clomid is working (apparently it does lengthen your LP)
so no worries at all, I have my first round of IUI and Clomid this cycle as we have a MF issue to work with as well- hopefully this works
thanks for all your encouragement and kind words and look forward to reading of more BFPs from you lovely ladies!!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Good luck this coming month Britt!

I also finally had a heavy period this past month, I think it was due to the red raspberry leaf tea. I'm hoping that will help me have a good cycle this time. In the TWW now... So we'll see. But a normal AF is always nice, if it's gonna happen!

BCP? Is that like the Depo injection?

Big hugs

 

[SquirrelGirl]

BCP = birth control pills

TWW goes so slow doesnt it?

I have been thinking about the raspberry leaf tea, but read conflicting messages about whether you should take it or not whilst TTC. Is this the first month you have tried it? My AF is usually fairly regular so not sure if there is any point. Just started 8th cycle of ttc so starting to get a little desperate

 

[Waitng4Baby#1]

I was on Depo injection for 5 years then BCP for about 5 years - hadnt seen the nasty witch in all that time.

If I had known it was going to take so long to get pregnant I would have stopped ages ago. Nobody tells you!!
