33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

Yes I heard as well yesterday. I don't think she has super eggs, I think it probably has a lot to do with lifestyle though. That and the fact some can become pregnant easier than others. But because she isn't obviously short of a few quid, she can afford to take time for herself, have a nanny care for her current children, which means she can take time to focus on relaxing plus she probably has fitness instructors and dietitians all advising her as well, and quite possibly a fertility specialist making sure she's always in tip top condition. All things most of us can't afford/don't have time for. She has an advantage most of us don't have, which I would think is probably also somewhat necessary given her general lifestyle is probably relatively stressful

Do you think a prince or Princess? I'm hoping she's not named Alice if she's a girl! I like my daughters name not being too common in school

Your degree sounds fab cupcake! I enjoyed doing criminology at university, humans are both fascinating and scary.
I'm starting a new baking blog to try and entertain myself whilst I TTC. I want to get my proper camera out and start doing some good food photos instead of being lazy.

I'm only on CD5 so far so hopefully at the weekend I'll start on the countdown to ovulation. My boyfriend is keen to improve his sperm too so we are both going on multivitamins. I've been taking mine for a month.

PG, I reckon they will be having a little princess. Alice is a lovely name, I love it because of Alice in Wonderland it seems more unusual these days which is also lovely. I told my husband I want to choose the name this time, if we actually get there of course! But he's apprehensive because he knows I like unusual. I told him if we have another boy we will name him Sherlock lol if we have another girl I would like to name her after a Greek mythology goddess.

So you have studied criminology? Fabulous! It's such a fascinating subject. Humans have always fascinated me. I'm currently reading about intelligence and have just written up my summary of intelligence tests from the first chapter.

The blog idea sounds good. I have started a few but I don't remember to post frequently! Food photos are fab, love food porn. I always take photos of things I cook as well.

I'm not too far ahead of you being CD9. You could introduce smoothies to encourage good sperm health, there's a wealth of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds which are amazing for this and this is something my husband is interested in trying

CD16 here. Last 2 cycles O was CD17 but negative OPK this morning and no fertile CM so I think it might be a bit longer. We'll see. I'll take another OPK later today.

 

[happycupcake]

Curious I don't tend to see positive OPKs in the AM unless it was positive the night before, so perhaps you will see a positive OPK later on

It varies for me! Sometimes I will a positive in the mornings, sometimes not. The last couple cycles it's been a complete negative in the morning, then super positive in the afternoon.

 

[Sander]

Had a huge glob of EWCM this morning - am hoping this means I'll O a little earlier this month. CD19 today

 

[happycupcake]

Curious, I said that last night and with fmu today my OPKs were positive. 99% of the time they are barely-there lines with fmu. They're calling me out to be a liar lol! Any change with yours?

Sander, I hope this means ovulation soon for you

CD10 here today, positive OPKs and ewcm so I think I will probably ovulate tomorrow or the following day. I usually ovulate the day of or day after a positive OPK, but I don't think ovulation will be today

 

[ricschick]

Oh good luck sander and cupcake!!!

For those who haven't seen my test gallery I got my bfp today!! Cd51!! Lol. I'm sending all the baby dust and can imagine to everyone!!! Xxxx

 

[curiousowl]

Congrats Rics!

 

[curiousowl]

Haha, so funny cupcake. Mine was maybe a bit darker this morning so we will see this afternoon. We almost forgot to BD last night! Lol. I had to wake DH when he was almost asleep. He was not pleased.

 

[happycupcake]

that's hilarious lol how could he be unimpressed, he was woken up for sex! Is this not every man's dream come true?

Rics, I saw and posted in your thread. Huge congratulations! So pleased for you

Haha, I know! To be fair, it was late and he has a job interview today. Oops. Lol.

 

[ricschick]

ha ha when I used to say to dh he would say "oh leave me alone lol"

 

[happycupcake]

I bet they love it secretly

 

[Sander]

Congrats Rics!!

I've only woken up DH for bd once and he didn't mind haha, but it was in the morning not the middle of the night

Girls have gotta do what we have to do!

Question for you ladies - I seem to only get EWCM in the mornings (fmu) and it's usually a lot. Then the rest of the day I'm dry. Does that mean we should try bd'ing in the mornings or is it still ok if we wait until evening? I haven't checked internally this month but in previous months there's been some there but not as much as when wiping in the mornings.

 

[ladders]

Wow congratulations rics I'm so pleased for you!

 

[curiousowl]

You ladies will appreciate this. DD is in the terrible 2s and was so horrible last night that DH said "you remember that sex we had? I'm going to need my sperm back. No more!" Lol!

 

[happycupcake]

Curious that's hilarious! Wait till the 3s, aka threenager lol

CD12 here and second temp increase after positive OPK on CD10, so I'm thinking I'm 2dpo but Fertility Friend hopefully will confirm tomorrow with luck. However I did have some pretty obvious ovulation pain at about 2am CD11, so I don't know since my temp had a good increase that day

 

[dustergrl]

Congratulations rics!

I'm not sure where I am in my cycle lol- I did all I could around O and am now just waiting to see what happens. Nothing I can do until I miss AF or she shows up!
