TTC 40 plus!! Lets share the ups and downs!

[oorweeistyin]

Well feeling very yukky today......pos that AF is on her way. I had some spotting 10 dpo and was sure it was implantation bleeding.......OH was home for this cycle but I feel we missed O day by 1 day......it was my 40th birthday and things were just so busy!!

Lets just keep our fingers crossed that 40 is my lucky year!!

Nise - I got to just over 10 weeks before I started to bleed. Was very traumatic as OH was out of the country and had to go it alone. I opted for a D&C just to get it over with and try to get to back to normal (well as normal as you can).

I am 12 dpo, so i'm hoping and praying.

(hugs) to all (baby dust)

don't give up nise this happened to me and i only b'd twice last month and one was no where near the positive ov test xx

Fantastic news Glitter!! Keep us updated, please!

Big Welcome to the new girls, hopefully the more new women, the more bfp's we get!

Nise, I know you think you missed O but gotta agree with others, one of my bfp's was when I'd only dtd twice with no idea when O was...it can happen. Do you have more magic pills for next month?

I'm moving into end of AF stage, what a relief, it was a heavy one! About to start my guafinesin (sorry bout spelling) tabs to loosen things up, hopefully it'll work like it did last time (well better, really)!

Passing PMA and baby dust around.............................

Hey Ladies - well I've made a right old bulls up of this cycle - I reckon I only have a 0.1% higher chance of achieving conception than if I had relied on immaculate conception! Gah!

Last Friday was O day, not very fitting with my work timetable. I was having to leave the house at 0630 and didn't get back home till 2030 all that week. Anyway I carefully did my opks twice a day as I neared my usual O day. I got a neg late at night the day before O, so stupidly let us off the hook! a positive at lunch time on O day itself and the damned stick was neg again by the evening of O day followed by a temp rise the day after. Not much of a warning window. We dtd'd on O day, was soooo knackered though. Got a feeling I've missed the boat this time and to add insult to injury this was the cycle I decided to use my clomid tablets. Oh well, roll on next cycle. I now have a mega cold and today's temp is through the window am thinking of throwing the thermometer out after it

Bellecita - Good luck on Thursday, lovely. I hope you come out armed with a good plan of action.

Fizzylady - Welcome and I'm so sorry to hear about your Chemical, I don't test early enough to know whether I've had one of them or not - must be devastating though. Big hugs to you and fire away with those questions. We'll do our best

Oorweeistyin - I had a blighted Ovum or Missed miscarriage as they prefer to call them these days - I share your heartbreak. How far along did you get? I got to 12 weeks with no clue that anything was wrong. Very cruel thing. I guess the only comfort you can take from it is that you can conceive. I hope you do again and very soon.

Jax41 - I know exactly what you mean.

Thanks Nise xx Don't you fret about your 'missed O' opportunity, I've read loads of posts here where ladies have only DTD a few times during their cycle and got still got their BFP!! Having said that I'm going for the BD marathon this month and doing it all the way through, have always gone off the boil (bad girl!!) after I think I O and maybe that's where I'm going wrong. I'm hoping that it'll make the TWW fly by too!!! Stay cool xXx

Wow glitter so pleased for you, that's fab news!!!xx

Oorweeistyin sorry you're feeling yukky but 40's gonna be a good year for ya, I can feel it in my water!!!x

Bellamamma, I'm a bit ahead of you finished AF at the weekend and now 'back in the saddle' yeeeehaaaaaa!! I'm gunning for that BFP this month, maybe we can try not to symptom spot together?x
