I'm 7 dpo , waiting to test ��
Feeling a lot of pressure n also slightly nauseous yesterday. It was my first month ttc so if it doesn't work I get another month to sway better , we will see what happens, not going to stress about it. How is everyone else getting on?
Good luck baby blue! I hope this is your cycle!
I'm waiting to ovulate, should be in the next day or so but hoping it waits till Sunday as oh won't be in a fit state tonight as he is working a long day today. I do need this cycle to work! The Easter bunny dropping my egg off and father christmas delivering my baby! How fab would that be
AF arrived today for me. Two days early so it means my LP was only 10 days. I'm going to try Soy isoflavones next month as the only times I have been pregnant is twice from clomid and then once with DS2 using soy. I hear clomid is better but its not that easily available and since I have had success with Soy I will give it a go.
thank you Twinkle - I'm hoping so, but at the same point keep reminding myself that I have 4 beautiful children. Not expecting it to be easy at 39! And we have already discussed only trying up until my 40th birthday and that will be it - what will be will be. Good luck on your attempt , hope you get your Christmas bundle x
Purple - hugs - but sounds like you've got a good plan for next month x
Purple im so sorry af got you, I hope this cycle works better with the soy. Can you not ask for the clomid again? I'm sorry I'm just not up on how easy Clomid id to get hold of. I hope the soy works this cycle tho!
Baby blue, I was the same, at 36 I said only till the next birthday and I just kept moving that goal post, once om the Ttc train its so hard to jump back off. I always think this next cycle it could just work! I hope this cycle you get the dream Bfp!
Yesterday I got my positive opk, we have the kids all home because of Easter and it's playing havoc with the smallest one she is staying up so late! Anyway we managed a good attempt last night and going by my temps I think ov could be this morning or was early hours as my temp rise but not by too much. I'm past pink or blue right now just a baby, this last four years of trying started this month four years ago.
Good luck ladies, lest hope we get some lovely bfps in here very soon!
Thanks, I'm ok since it was only the first try :)Quote:

I totally understand the whole not wanting to do testing, after our mcs we had testing done and I personally found it frustrating and stressful. They found no reasons for the mcs. I hope the soy works a dream and your soon posting pics of some bfps!

How is everyone doing? I'm 4dpo today and this month feels like it's dragging. Anyways I thought I would share my chart, temp rise has been slow this cycle, not sure if that's a bad sign or not.

I'm only CD 6 so still at least 10 days before I ovulate.
I wouldn't worry too much about the temps and try and read too much into them. I will only temp enough to see the thermal shift these days, otherwise I over analyse the temps! I will probably start temping about day 10 and then stop 4 or 5 dpo.
Twinkle- I wouldn't worry about it. I had a slow rise this cycle too and my post-O temps flatlined. I was worried but turns out I didn't have anything to worry about [emoji4]! My chart is in my signature.
FX that this is it for you!
P.S. I'm over 35 and have been reading posts here. I was going to start to post, but I got my BFP!

I've been temping too long now to stop lol, it's just part of my routine now, but yes you do over analyse and think I want tomorrow's temp to be..
Good luck for this cycle! Do you have a plan for this month?
Xxforhubby sorry I've just seen your reply, congrats on your bfp!!! That's fab. I'm sure I just read far toouch into my temps and what i think I want it to do lol. Too many years of tryig has sent me slightly crazy if not a little obsessed.
Here is today's chart for me.

Chart is looking good twinkle :)
Last dose of Soy iso tonight and then I just have to wait. Need to try to stick to the diet better, not easy just after easter!
Yay for last dose of soy! I have my fx for a lovely positive on the opks in a few days time. Yes the diets are hard to get back into after a couple of naughty days!
Hi Ladies! I am going to try to keep up and post. I don't get on too often as TTC is taking a toll on me.
Twinkle I think your chart looks great and nice rise today! Honestly, I don't out much stock in post O temps anymore. I have seen BFP charts look ugly and BFN charts look beautiful! LOL I have tried to stop temping because after a year I am over it. But since the last few cycles have been off I temp to confirm O. I finally got a pos opk today CD 15, which is pretty late for me. We BD last night because we are bd every 3 days. I will also tonight at pos opk. Hopefully we catch a goldie! :) I just started acupuncture and am really enjoying it. It has been relaxing if nothing else.
Hopefully we all have a great month of BFP'S!
Djmommy I'm with you on the too long temping, I've been temping for about 15 months I think now and wow it's been hard to keep going some months. I started my ttc journey 4 years ago. I started with swaying pink but now I'm just swaying bfp pink would be a bonus but either pink or blue I don't care now just a baby in my arms would be amazing. Once I get my take home baby I will take steps for long term contraception so I can't fall back into this journey.
Congrats, XXforhubby. And good luck!
I'm just waiting for AF to show. One day later than it has been lately. BFN and we weren't trying this month, anyway. Probably just more pre-menopausal nonsense. I hate waiting though. So sick of my period & having it hanging over my head is even worse.
I keep telling dh I want to either get pregnant ASAP (with our girl, of course [emoji6]) or for menopause to just hurry up. 30 years of periods (minus babies/nursing) and I am so over it.
Our kids are all between 3-4 yrs apart. Even if I got pregnant this cycle (which I actually prefer to avoid, too many birthdays in Jan/Feb already), it would be the biggest gap between kids.
I must be insane.
Blueeyedguys, I hate when af is late too it's a total pain. I hope you get either af or a bfp soon, the waiting feels like wasted days. Good luck
Thanks. AF did finally come, so at least I know where I'm at now.
Tossed the stroller we've had since ds1 was little. It was tough, but it's truly amazing it lasted as long as it did. I'll either get a got rid of baby things pregnancy now or I've just cleared out something I won't ever need again, I guess only time will tell.
I'm so sorry af showed, it's bad enough it showing at all but to be late is worse. Massive hugs and I hope this cycle is a better one for you.
Just done a hpt! 10 dpo, I hope that line grows! I know not fmu but it is quite faint.

Oh wow - congratulations twinkle
I missed your BFP!! Congratulations Twinkle!!
Congrats Twinkle! What wonderful news :fx:
Well I have booked in an appointment with my dr to hopefully get referred to a specialist to look into what is going on with my cycle! It's 7 days of heavy spotting for me now. Last cycle was messed up too so I'm hoping they run some tests to check my hormones. I didn't really want to go the medical route but I might have to. All least there is a good chance I can get prescribed Clomid but it's going to take ages to get the appointments.
I'm just coming in to hang out for a bit. I'm turning 39 in June, 4 boys, want to try one more time . I don't expect I have fertility issues but I have an appointment next week to try to get Clomid/femara; im can't mess around with time...

Any chance your Dr will skip the specialist and just hand over the scrip? That's whT im hoping for in my case.Quote:

Unlikely as Clomid is more restricted in Australia so they have to be specialists. There is a fertility clinic in the building next to my work so I'm thinking of ringing to find out what their waiting list is like. It would be very convenient to go there for appointments as the one I went to before is really out of the way now.Quote:

Just tell him "ain't nobody got time for that" and hopefully he plays ball . It's the same in Canada btw; I know my GP will want to ship me off to a specialist but I'm going to stress the importance of the time I have left (snd real life deadline im under) and that I understand the risks and hope he just writes the damm script.

I managed to get an appointment with the FS near work for in 2 weeks time. Just hope my GP will give me a referral and doesn't just think I'm being impatient!
Be in charge. My appt is Wednesday. I'm the biggest push over when it comes to medical help, but my plan is to tell him directly what I want I. A way that is self advocating.
I may not be successful but if I just walk in there and explain my problem he will definitely put me off in someone else's hands and I so do not have time for that. So far I am not ovulating one own, and I want one more child. I refuse this time to sit back and have someone control those measures when a simple rx may fix it.

Dh seems to think we won't have any trouble conceiving because we never have before I can kind of see his point, my youngest is an oops baby from the first time we DTD after dh nearly died & was in hospital for 3 months. But I was 4 years younger than I am now.. Still over 35, but that 4 years makes a difference. I want to try this month, even though that would put my due date awfully close to where we want to avoid. He wants to wait another month because he thinks I'll get pregnant first try again.
It's possible he's right but it's also possible I'm already too old. I have no dr. right now and no way of knowing.
I just want to be pregnant or give up, move on & try to stop dreaming of a daughter.
I cannot blame you one bit.
