Isn't two weeks a long time

My TWW is more like a 10-11 wait as this is my usual LP - so my wait will be up next fri or sat - but even that week seems a life time away!

I am 5 dpo...still have some sunburn from the weekend fun so am chalking up things that I would be stressing over as symptoms as effects from the burn. I will begin testing I would guess on Monday. I work this weekend so that will help it go by faster for me I think.

argh I hate that wait.

Hope your sunburn gets better soon.

Got everything crossed for you

Love your new avatar

Well i am 99.9% sure I ov`d on Tuesday, but FF still says not detected!

My temps were around 36.2 before - 36.4 the day I ov`d and 36.5 - 36.6 the last few days, so i know I have - FF needs to catch up!!!!!

it`s such a long time to wait and the whole time your head is being messed with - how many DPO are you now?

I have manged to get FF to sort itself out - i thought I OV on Tuesday, but FF says Monday - oh well - odds would be better if Tues because we Sunday night, Monday am and Pm and Tuesday PM.

If OV on monday I don`t think it will be any good - the from sunday had been sat there a while! we have been away and no BD then as kids were in the same room.
Then mon am they wouldn`t have had time to replenish properly and the same again for Monday night - so Tuesday nights would have been good!!!

Oh well, as you say que sera sera

Got my crosshairs on FF this morning yay. I wasn't expecting them because I thought my chart was looking weird lol. So I'm 3DPO today

Last month I was constantly checking the internet for signs at certain DPO and then thinking do i have that and adding it to my chart.

I`m not going to do that now, I will just see what i am feeling each day and chart accordingly. I drove myself crazy and was so upset when I got AF.

Hoping this month I won`t be too bad as I am not actually expecting anything.

It was my due date yesterday and I didn`t even think about it until mid-morning and I didn`t get upset. In my mind baby would have been 2 weeks early (like the others) so would actually have been born around 2nd June.

That comined with the fact we are now trying again has probably helped.

I know what you mean. The only relaxed month I've had this year was in Jan when we were told not to TTC.

My due date was 4th July but I would have been induced 2 weeks early

It`s strange the way things work. First part of June has been the only time this year I`ve not had anything to worry about!!

I got my AF 28th May, so not having to worry about OV or TTC. However, if I had been PG i would have been even more worried than I would be because we went away and i was worried before we went that if i was PG all the walking round Disneyland Paris would have been too much for me and i would need to keep resting, which wouldn`t be any fun for the kids. also we would have been worried that something may have gone wrong if i started bleeding, so in a way, once i got over the initial disappoinment of not being Pg I was then quite relieved, as it meant we went away with no worries at all.

`they` say everything happens for a reason, perhaps `they` are right. I don`t think i would have enjoyed my holiday as much as i did if I had been PG.

Does that make sense?

it makes a lot of sense!!!!


last night, my OH asked me how long I wanted to keep trying for if it didn't happen? I was a little thrown by the question as I guess I'd not wanted to think about it not working.
I'll be 44 if I get pregnant this cycle. The MC baby would have been when I was 43 still. I know I'm not getting any younger, but I don't want to even think about stopping because I am "too old" because many people would probably already consider me to be too old now.
have any of you thought about this dilema?

Lol the older I get and the longer it takes. I just keep moving the goalposts.

I said I'd never have a baby over 30 because I was frightened of having GD an spending all my time in hospital. I got pregnant at 39, got GD and spent all my time in hospital lol. Buy now I've got a baby I realise I can put up with anything for the wonderful outcome.
Saying that I didn't really answer your question. I think we'll probably know when enough is enough. I think if I have another late miscarriage I don't think I'll be able to continue.
Fingers crossed we all don't have to wait too long so we won't have to think about it

i don`t want to even think about that at the moment. If it were up to my DH he wouldn`t be trying again anyway because of the worry and heartache.

If we were to get PG and have another MC i know he wouldn`t want us to go through it again, but I can`t even contemplate at the moment not having another baby, so at the moment i am thinking i just want to keep trying forever!!!

We`ll see what the next few months bring - who knows, depending on what happens I may feel differently.

I am lucky in one way i am just a spritely 40!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I suppose a little younger than some ladies on here. I had my first at 30, my second at 33 and my third at 38 (nearly 39) I didn`t consider myself old then.

Anyway it doesn`t matter what other people think, it`s down to how you feel and what you want to do - If i was you I would just keep going

On another thread i am on there are ladies there who are 43,44 and even 45 who have been TTC for 2 years with no sign of even having a PG.

I think for now we will keep trying and see what happens.
