30-somethings TTC #1 Testing and Support Thread!

Oh and I'm having pink-tinged cm so I may be out this month too :growlmad:.
I'm hoping to get AF over quickly so I can start on next month.

I know how you feel. AF is due to arrive on Tuesday and I'm starting to feel PMS symptoms coming on. Been cramping a bit the past few days and the boobies are not happy. If she is coming, I say she should hurry up.
 
if I can't be pregnant, by god, I'm going to get skinny. Gotta get rid of these thunder thighs!! :haha:
:rofl: I hear you! Thats my plan. Used to be super fit (well for me) last year before ttc, ran a half marathon and had legs of steel. Fitness has fallen away with ttc and Im determined to get it back...

What kind of dogs do you have Waiting? I have two mini dachshunds who are not so mini anymore (read - fat and spoiled). My oldest one turned 15 around 2 weeks ago. I'm going to a 1 yr old birthday party today (joy) and then going out with some friends tonight.

Cavalier king charles spaniels - who are looking very cute now that they have short hair and smell clean. Yes fat & spoiled sums my ones up to. Complete substitute children. How old are your ones?

What is everyone up to this weekend? Im still sat in my pyjamas on the sofa even through its almost midday here :blush: and dragging myself to the gym soon. We're taking out dogs to get their hair cut this afternoon, having a chilled night in and then thinking about going into London for a wander about tomorrow. Lovely!

Hope you are all having a nice weekend.

Ha ha, I am a pyjama girl too, I love staying in my PJs until midday. I have had a pretty quiet weekend so far - was meant to be going into town to a movie today, but not feeling well so just gonna chill at home instead.

Well, I woke to stomach cramps and spotting, so AF will be arriving today. I knew it would happen, but am feeling rather negative about it all at the moment. Have had a big rant in my journal, so won't bring you all down by going over it all again! But will try and find my positive attitude again really soon....!

Are you feeling any better Lucky? Is it AF pains or just in general? Sorry she arrived hun as I know 6 months is feeling like a big milestone for you. Nothing we can say makes it any better I know, but I do understand how you feel - rant all you want here it is what we are all here for!! You are allowed a few days off from PMA. Its going to happen one month just sorry its not this one for you x

All the best for ICSI!
 
Yes, we're all rooting for you, Spring!!!

Geez, Waiting -- a half marathon??!!!??! I can't even begin to think about running that far. I used to run Cross Country in high school, but hurt my back pretty bad from all the uneven surfaces. So I don't really run much anymore. But I'll walk a good ways... :)

It's frustrating. I'm not even sure when she's supposed to come since I'm so irregular. I figure its 14 dpo and I'm at 9 already. My skin has broken out so badly that I think there's no way she can't come.

Park :hugs:

You've got such a cute breed there! My older dog just turned 15 and the younger will be 13 in September. They look really good for their age. They didn't start off as surrogate kids since I got them so long ago (if anything they were in foster care with my parents for a little while) but now they're so spoiled that they're just like babies.
 
Hi Ladies :wave:
just popping by, not been all that active on the boards lately. Been very busy with work, courses, meetings and all the paperwork that goes with that! I think my cycle is all to pot this month! EVERY month since monitoring, I get a +opk on the evening of CD12 and a peak on the CBFM on the morning of CD13 and CD14. Well I seemed to have lost my +opk last night and the peak on the monitor this morning. Not sure what is going on, but hoping to get the + tonight. But until tonight I am going to have a wonderful day off. Going to do some relaxing and pampering I think .....

Have a wonderful weekend.
:hugs: and :dust:

Hey giggles! Nice to see you, sounds like you are having a busy time. Hope that your positive opk turns up tonight, and that in the mean time you enjoying some pampering - sound perfect x

AF is more officially here. After many days of spotting, it's finally heavier now. I'm actually happy about that because I get really frustrated with so many days of spotting.

Anyway, my plans for the weekend include cleaning the house top to bottom, working out, and going grocery shopping today. Tomorrow my grandma, an aunt and a cousin are stopping by on their way to Wisconsin for vacation. So I'm going to make them brunch and show them our house and land.

I actually worked out quite a bit yesterday (I had the day off). I walked for nearly 3 miles on the treadmill, and then did various exercises while watching tv. Like I said a few days ago, if I can't be pregnant, by god, I'm going to get skinny. Gotta get rid of these thunder thighs!! :haha:

So sorry Squirrel :hugs: I know you knew it was gonna happen, but still.... looks like we are once again in tune, hope we O at the same time and we can be testing buddies again!
Good work on the workout - I need to get onto that as well!

Oh, hope not maxxi! Fingers crossed that this is NOT AF!! xx

Really sucks Lucky. I hope you're feeling better. You're always so supportive when one of us rants that I say go off as much as you want. This is such a frustrating process and it is easier for some people to get pg which is not fair. You're day will come :hugs:
 
Well now I'm spotting and only 9 dpo. I will probably be out tomorrow. The only good thing I guess is that my cycles are short and I so I O more often (let's see if I feel the same way tomorrow :growlmad:)
 
Spring- FX for you.

Waiting-WOW. Running a marathon is amazing.

Squirrel-How are you doing today? :hugs:

Maxx-That's a great way to look at it! Keep up the PMA

Hopefully everyone else is doing well. FX and :dust: for all.
 
Hiya Park! I'm doing all right. Kinda bored actually! Trying to work up the energy to go outside, but it's hot! My OH and I started talking about getting a pool (not a nice one, just one you can buy at walmart or something and set up yourselves). Something large enough to float around in and keep cool. :) Just gotta get the OH to actually go with me to get one. :wohoo:

Oh, a pool would be very nice. Your weather is probably close to mine, Kansas city area, so I know how lovely a pool would be in the summer.

Yep! Plus we live out in the country, and it seems like everyone else has a pool around here. I guess no one wants to drive their kids to the nearest town with a pool! And I just hate crowds and unruly children. :haha:
 
I'm using the word 'run' loosely though - it's more like a plod! 4 miles is about my limit at the moment.

So jealous you are talking about a pool Squirrel we can barely fit a table and chairs into our patio/ garden!
 
So I'm calling it for this month. Might as well be proactive. I'm planning for tomorrow to be CD 1. Hate that :witch:!
 
:hugs: Maxxi :hugs: You, Park, Squirrel and Lucky have all been calling AF out before she actually arrives. Maybe I need to start doing that?

Park, did she ever actually arrive for you? :hugs: regardless : )

Waiting4 - I don't find that the EPO makes AF any heavier, but I have pretty light periods in general. I'm beginning to wonder if that means I'm not building up enough of a lining to support a pg? Does any one else on here have 2 - 3 day periods that aren't too heavy?

My clearblue digi opk gave me a :) today. I was really surprised because I thought I wouldn't get it for another day or so. I am definitely rockin' the cm tho - the grapefruits and EPO appear to be doing the trick. Gonna try softcups for the first time after I attack DH tonight.

You go!!!

I've been eating grapefruits all my life just because I like them. Never knew they could be helpful. But come to think of it my periods are generally heavy.
