CD1 on Jan 2 - anyone close and looking for buddies?

[ZooMa]

Hi, I haven’t been on these boards since I was pregnant with #1 five years ago. Now I have a 4yo and a 2yo and going for the third and final. But now I’m approaching 39 and wondering if it’s going to be possible this time. This is my second go since the IUD came out in November.

Anyone else that started their cycle at the beginning of the year and want to be buddies? I’d love to find a social network on here.

Hey Zooma!

CD 1 for me was on January 1st I am 39 and ttc #2. I have a beautiful 7 year old daughter . I come and go from BnB, but i had so much support here 7 years ago!

How are you doing? You are probably done your period now as i just finished yesterday and today kinda..haha...How long are you cycles?

Hi! So, this is only my 2nd cycle since getting my IUD out, so not sure if things are back to normal yet. Though I don’t know What normal is anymore because I haven’t had my period regularly For over 10 years between birth controls and IUDs and pregnancy and breast-feeding! Before I discovered the glory of the IUD or continues birth-control pills, my cycles were closer to 30 to 32 days. However, my last cycle was only 25 days! I’m worried because I’m reading that they get shorter as you are approaching the end of fertility. We will see what this month brings, though.

The kids are dealing with a GI bug today, so I hope we adults don’t catch it and it impedes our BD days... gotta get to work, as I think I ovulate this week!

How all is well there and you have a fun month trying.

Hey, I'm on CD 7/8. I will be 37 in Feb an we are trying for a third. This will be our 6 attempt. I have a cycle of 26/27 days

Welcome! My husband thinks I’m crazy for wanting #3, but he got tired of my bugging him, so here we are! My philosophy is that we don’t have any personal or adult time anyways, so how much is another kid really going to change things? Ha ha.

Haha I like your thinking! My fiance has no children (and is a fair bit younger than me! Lol) so he would like to have some of his own, I'm drawing the line at 1! Lol. He is so good with my children so I can't say no! Lol. Really hoping we get pregnant soon, I worry that I'm getting to old! X

 

[ZooMa]

First cycle I’ve used OPKs, and yesterday first time it’s positive (also first time I lasted >2 hours to hold urine!). Time to get busy.... but husband wasn’t feeling well time for an early morning wake up, I guess...

 

[jesstula]

Haha good luck. I got a positive on the 13th to. Fingers crossed for us both x

My CD1 was 30th Dec. I think I may have ovulated yesterday although I ran out of opk's before I got a positive so I can only guess this month! AF is due around 25th Jan.
I have a 6 Year old daughter & on my 4th cycle of TTC.

 

[ZooMa]

Hopeful for some BFPs for you ladies this week!

 

[jesstula]

Good luck! I'm gonna try an hold off till wed as I will be 11dpo and that's when I got my bfp with my boy. Haven't got any tests in the house so hopefully won't be to hard lol x

 

[ZooMa]

I’ll admit, I tested a couple days ago.... but then When I looked at the calendar I realized I was only 5 or 6 DPO. Doi! 🙄 This TWW seems so long! I’m think of testing tomorrow at only 8 DPO – fully expecting negative. However, I’m then heading out of town for a week so if there’s any slight chance of positive would be nice to share with my husband in person.

 

[jesstula]

Ooo yeah do it! Lol. I would be testing earlier if I had tests, have just wasted so much money on tests each month that I'm determined to wait this month. We'll see if I can actually do it lol. Good luck

 

[ZooMa]

Definitely negative on 8 DPO. Super early I know but still such a stark white... Highly doubt anything worked this cycle. I wouldn’t be testing except I just bought the 50/20 pack of LH/HCG tests on amazon and I figure I have to use them at some point!

Still early, mine were always stark white until 11dpo. Have just caved an got some from Amazon! Lol

I am praying this is our month. Iam in my fertile days and we have had sex twice so far. I also ended up buying some pre-seed and used that tonight so hopefully that works. I pray this is our month but if it's not I will buy some opks and try that way. Right now we are just having sex as much as possible! xoxo

 

[ZooMa]

Good luck and have fun! The hard part about TTC is that sometimes it’s not fun.... as soon as the temp goes up I’m like “whew, I get a break for a while!” I hate to make hubby feel like he’s only useful for one thing... we’re not 21 anymore and we get worn out!

 

[jesstula]

Good luck ladies, have you tested yet? I'm hoping my amazon tests come today so I can test, although my stomach hurts so I think af is just around the corner!
