Over 30 & still trying for baby #1

[MrsDuck]

Could be IB, I guess I'll find out in a week

Ooh mood swings, I'm bad enough when af is on her way haha. Do they advise against testing early high hopes?

 

[highhopes2013]

Yeah because the drugs I've been on will take time to leave my system so would give a false positive if I tested too early.

Fxd it was ib mrs duck!

Well, had a great weekend but no ovulation. Got really upset last night (CD15) b/c that is the latest I have ever gone w/out seeing a pos OPK. Then I decided to buck up and chalk it up to my body still being out of whack. Sure enough, this AM, positive OPK! So, I am not charting this month but I usually ovulate two days after my first positive OPK. (I test in the AM b/c my surge usually comes in the middle of the night.) I should ovulate on CD 18. Since we were on holiday we have been bd'ing every day and figure we will just keep that up for now. Both times I got pg we used SMEP but this month we just want to have fun.

Good luck everyone! Sounds like some positive signs on here!!

 

[MrsDuck]

High hopes you must be chomping at the bit to test, I've got everything crossed for you

Itsawonder yay for positive opk, have fun bd'ing

Highhopes I am there with you on mood swings! Hopefully it would be a good sign but for me also AF sign
Mrsduck hope IB for you! You test this weekend?
Good luck with BDing itsawonder!

I'm wanting the days to go quicker so I can just know already! Patience is a virtue....at least Monday is over

Hi ladies im 8dpo today and my boobs are getting more sore. Ive had cramps but also lots of gas and some constipation (sorry tmi). Am hoping its cos of a bfp but ive had these symptoms and got AF. I normally find when my pms is worse my period cramps are bad Hoping for a bfp rather than a painful AF.

Good luck itsawonder with the bding. Hope you catch the egg!

I hope everyone else is feeling good today. Looks like a few of us will be testing soon, i hope we all get bfps!

 

[ItsAWonder]

Thanks ladies - and I can't wait to start seeing all of your test results!

 

[highhopes2013]

FC for u all. Flou I'm with u on the huge boobs and gassiness! Although I'm on progesterone suppositories and they are meant to do that to u I think so not counting those as symptoms. But I've also been having weird pinching/pulling pains near my belly button and random cramps too.

Dying to test but also scared it will be a bfn. One week today I will know eeeeeek!

 

[ItsAWonder]

Officially dpo 1 today! Did not get to bd yesterday but did the days leading up to ovulation. I don't expect much this month, but excited to be back in the game!

High hopes - I had that pulling by my belly button when I got pregnant! Other than being really bloated, it was my first big sign.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[Buttrflyl553]

I have a question for you girls.... Supposed to get AF Saturday but may cave and test before then. Would you say today is too early to test? I have never tested early before...

 

[ItsAWonder]

Really, it depends upon when implantation happened. You can test positive as early as 3 days after. If you do test, and it's negative, just know that you may be testing too early. Try not to let it get you down yet. (I stress the "try".)

If it's light, just keep testing to make sure it gets darker every two days.

 

[flou]

Good luck with testing buttrfly. If you are pg it may show up but if you get a bfn you could still be pg.

AF is due for me until tuesday. I am going to try and wait until wednesday to test if AF hasn't arrived.

 

[flou]

Good luck wonder in the tww!

 

[highhopes2013]

I'm testing on weds too! Getting sick of waiting now

 

[Buttrflyl553]

Thanks for the advise girls! I didn't have time to get a test yesterday so I guess it was meant to be that I should wait. Not sure if I will have time today and AF due tomorrow so we will see. Waiting is terrible huh ?

 

[highhopes2013]

Good luck buttrfly! Waiting sucks. I'm having crazy mood swings and its driving me insane!

 

[Buttrflyl553]

I'm there too highhopes just feeling pretty gross overall.

 

[ItsAWonder]

Good luck Buttrfly!!!

 

[MrsDuck]
