TTC #1 and over 30

[Mommy81]

Hello ladies...AF came this morning! I am so upset, I really thought this was my month! I am never EVER late...My cycle is like clockwork, every 26-28 days, but never past 28. so to get to cycle day 32 with no signs or syptoms of AF was SO EXCITING!

Here we go again....

Sorry mommy-this thing sure is an emotional ride isn't it? Hang in there and have a cocktail!

 

[Mommy81]

Thanks Luna

Vegan, it sure is! Have a cold drink now! Cheers to next cycle

 

[Kmae]

Mommy, I'm sorry. Wishing you success this cycle!

 

[gypsygirl1018]

mommy. I know how disappointing it can be to be sure that you are going to get your bfp and then have AF show up.

 

[Goldfish]

mommy81. Boo to AF!

Lily - sounds very promising, maybe we'll get some good news from you in a few days!

I feel like AF is on its way - my chart is looking pretty good but I've been sick so it might be falsely promising. Yesterday I saw my endo specialist for a follow-up and the internal scan showed that I have a small endometrioma on my ovary, so it's growing back already after only having periods for 10 cycles. Today 2 friends gave birth - one I'm happy for as she was LTTC and has been through a lot, the other one I can't seem to feel happy for as I'm sure they were only TTC for 2 months. That sounds bad doesn't it, but I can't help it, I feel so down and feel like my body's failed me.

Does your Dr have you on clomid or anything to help speed things up?

Hi ladies...
I haven't been on here in ages. Feel like this is the first cycle we have really been good at ttc'ing after mc in July, BD 2 days before ov, BD on day of positive opk and BD on day after pos opk. Been feeling really really positive about this cycle, but did a test today and BFN. AF only due on Saturday, but surely it would have picked it up by now??? It's one of those ultra sensitive tests that says it can be used 4 days before your expected cycle. So now I am totally upset that I am out this month.
Who else is waiting on AF this weekend? Anyone else been tempted to test early?
I wish I hadn't tested!!! I plan to only test again on Monday if no AF by then.

I also do the Christmas milestones....was also thinking that if I got BFP this month then my first scan would be on 7 year wedding anniversary!!! I am also starting to get nervous about would have been due date coming up in March...seems not that far away now

Sorry to be a bummer! I am just feeling really down and know how supportive you ladies are! I really hope that we all get extra special news soon xoxoxox

AF is due for me on Saturday I am 10 dpo today

 

[Veganlily]

Hi goldfish, twag, babysa - we are all in similar places in our cycles. I was feeling really confident this cycle but now I am less sure. I think it's possible that a lot of my symptoms are just symptoms of a cold. I've got a pretty good cold going right now, and my colds are sometimes preceded by tummy stuff. I just don't know. I also have been peeing on opks and they were getting darker but this morning's was totally light. My plan is to test on Sunday as long as my temps don't plummet before then. When is everybody else testing?

Luna - good luck to you and hubby at today's SA! Then you can get back to business...

Newbie and Kmae - hope you o soon!

Mommy - hope you're feeling better

to all! Looks like this weekend we'll see some activity - this board is due for some sticky BFP!

 

[Twag]

Dust to everyone good luck ladies

Hey babysa nice to see you back sorry about the bfn, hopefully it was just too early

Thinking I o'ed on Tuesday, bd 2 days before o only so I didn't think we really have a chance at all

 

[Veganlily]

Luna-there's definitely a chance-all it takes is one time!

 

[gypsygirl1018]

I think I ovulated Monday. I got terrible cramps in my back and on the lower left side of my abdomen that day. Looking back I had the exact same pain when I should have ovulated based on my period start date in November. Maybe that is my body's way of telling me I ovulated.

You're definitely in with a chance Luna, I read that two days before O is the best day if you only get one BD in, and it only takes one swimmer!

 

[Newbie32]

Hi Girls,

Have had a busy week but just wanted to check in and say hi to you all.

Luna i've heard that o-2 is actually the best day as well - and also sometimes they say less is more (not that im sure about that of course) but the month i had my cp we only have one bd at o-2 as well....hopefully it brings you a sticky bfp!

Bubbles I hope you are managing ok, and mummy i'm sorry about AF.

Excited to see some testing is happening this weekend! FX for some positive results over the next few days!

FX & to everyone

 

[luna_19]

thanks ladies, you're always so great

Now I just have to worry that I tried and failed to o again

 

[bubbles82]

I'm ok thanks Newbie, been a bit quiet on here as I tend to save my rants for my journal!

Hope you girls are all ok x

Does your Dr have you on clomid or anything to help speed things up?

Luna - no he hasn't put me on anything yet, but he mentioned that he would refer me for fertility treatment early next year (I suspect IUI or IVF). We only managed to BD on O-2 this cycle as well due to work travel!

Lily, babysa, twag - I'm waiting for AF too, have a few cramps, due tomorrow and too scared to test. I guess I want to savour the little bit of hope I have? I'll decide tomorrow morning depending on my temp!
