33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[ladders]

Yeah it's crap waiting for o! Everyday I get a negative I feel like what a waste last night's bd was! It's rubbish. Glad you finally o'd Kim must be a great relief and you can have a nice rest now! That was one mammoth wait!

Citrus I'm using ic's and digis, got 30 ic's so can use them multiple times a day and digi no more than once s day in a bid to save money lol. Started resting cd8 and since CD 11 been testing 2 or 3 times a day, thought it looked darker yesterday morning and then went back to nothing so was a bit disappointed. How long are your cycles normally?

 

[JessyG]

I hope you ovulate soon ladders. Its annoying. I didnt have to wait as long as you Kim but i started testing on cd9 and didny get my positive until cd19. I too felt like every bd sesh was a waste.

Girls can you help me work out what my due date would be?

 

[citrusfruit]

I always forget how dd works Jessy. There are lots of sites that can help though...isn't it that you're 2 weeks pregnant at conception? Sorry I can't be more help!

Ladders my cycles are usually about 33 days with o around CD19.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Ahh of course my new box of opk's would arrive the day AFTER O! Lol! Oh well I'll have them for next cycle lol

Jessy, when was cd1 for you? Sorry I don't remember if you have recently said.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Oh and ladders, I hope you get your positive opk soon!

Good luck, Citrus. The waiting to O is definitely worse than the 2ww! I remember you saying this at the beginning of this thread but I couldn't make up my mind which one is worse for me. Well I decided! It's definitely the wait to O! Lol

I'm so hoping we get more bfp's for the rest of us ❤❤

 

[JessyG]

It was April 16 but i dont know how long my cycles are so just went with 33 and it gave me a date of 26th Jan. Want to go to bed now so i can get up and test again to be sure!

 

[happycupcake]

Jessy! I knew it! Omg!!! Huge congratulations

26th January according to this. You did say today was 10dpo didn't you?

 

[dustergrl]

Jessy I'm thinking around Jan 19 or so based on that lmp.

My opk's wax and wane so I could get one tomorrow that is faded from here and then get my surge a day or two later so it's really up to the exact opk. I've had issues eith ovarian cysts, and actually had one the whole time I was pregnant with DS that they did ultrasounds to monitor.

We dtd last night though so hopefully we can stay on top of it this cycle. It would be crazy to have a schedule almost exactly the same as DS this time around- my lmp with DS was 5/4 and my dd was Feb 7 or 8 (I can't remember; he came on the 2nd). I have a friend whose three girls were all born in September, two years apart, within two weeks of each others' birthdays- and it was totally unplanned!

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

In that case, Duster, I hope this time the opk's don't get lighter and they keep getting darker! That would be cool to have a cycle that resembles the one where you conceived your LO ❤

My oldest two's birthday's are in June. They will be the same age for 5 days all their lives and that wasn't planned lol this year on June 5th I'll have 2 14 year old's till DD turns 15 on June 10th.

 

[dustergrl]

Kim- June 5 is DH's birthday!

 

[dustergrl]

I think I'm pretty close here! They seem to be getting darker. Gonna try to convince DH to bd tonight.

 

[JessyG]

Almost there duster!

Girls should i be concerned that my frer this am isnt darker than last nights?

 

[dustergrl]

Which is which? That line is pretty dark- the bottom seems darker than the top. I don't think I'd worry.

Would your care provider do a blood draw to check for hcg increases?

 

[JessyG]

The bottom is today so i am glad you said you think that one is darker. I am such a worrier! Kept having dreams about having twins! Man i need to relax a bit, i will drive you all insane.

 

[happycupcake]

Jessy, the bottom is a little darker. Remember though that there are different concentrations of dye in each test, even from the same pack and also that hCG can take three days to double, so I would only be concerned if they became lighter after a few days, unless my pee was hugely diluted of course! You don't have anything to worry about, they are excellent lines for this early! My FRER at 10dpo with my youngest son was about half the strength of your test, my first child I was quite overdue af and my line was barely there! Your lines are good don't worry

Oh, coincidence! I also had a dream about twins but they weren't mine...

 

[Daisies11]

Jessy, I know the feeling, I'm worrying about every little twinge. I feel way more anxious this time than first time round. I think sometimes knowing more isn't particularly helpful. I think being a bit less clued up last time meant I worried a hell of a lot less. They're great clear lines though, enjoy it and start getting excited!

 

[happycupcake]

I also worried less with my first. I knew hardly anything back then! I had a little spotting with him so had an early scan but after seeing him there on screen I didn't worry. The only thing I worried about was labour

 

[JessyG]

I worried loads the first time so i can see myself going the same way. Already looked at booking an early scans!!

Also, starting looking at prams 🙈🙈 someone stop me!

 

[happycupcake]

Those first few weeks are scary but it's unlikely anything will go wrong. I know they say mc is common but it's more common to have a healthy pregnancy. How was your first pregnancy? If you didn't have any complications then this will likely be uncomplicated. I had pre-eclampsia with my first and was frightened it may happen with my subsequent pregnancies but it didn't.
If booking in an early scan will help reassure you then go for it. Can you book it via NHS early? Or would you have to go private? If the latter, do they perform early scans? I had early scans via NHS with all of mine because I had spotting/bleeding with them all. Earliest we saw a hb was 5+6
