On the bright side, DH tonight on our way to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary told me he would like to keep trying for a baby. Originally he said he only wanted to ttc for a year. It has already been 5 months, almost 6. The more time goes on, he really wants another baby as badly as I do. So there is that. If only that is all it took 😞...

Hi girls!
I'm 3DPO now and also in the 2WW.
Really hoping to have a BFP!
Can i join chatting with you while the days to my NOD pas? :fingers:
Welcome dutchgirl. Good luck:)
Good to have you here dutchgirl! Good luck to you!
Xx- I'm glad you dh is on board to keep ttc. When you give yourself deadlines it's always interesting to see if you stick to it. I had a deadline for baby #3.... If we weren't pregnant by this month i was going to throw in the towel. My deadline was based on I didn't want to give birth after I turn 37(which is in October). That plan didn't include a miscarriage though, so I'm giving myself a few more months:). What's in an age anyway? I am already advanced maternal age, a few more months ttc isn't going to matter in the long run. If we catch an egg this month or in four months I am still an old mom:/
Welcome Dutchgirl!
Thank you Tarasue! DH and I feel the same way! What is the difference between 35 and 36? DH feels that it will just take longer to catch the golden egg. Since my periods are regular and my temps indicate I am ovulating, he feels we are bound to catch an egg at some point.
FX for all of us waiting, may we find peace while we wait and the strength to keep trying if need be.

Ladies, you have plenty of time! My mom had me at 36, my brother at 43.
I just got a positive OPK on one of my cheap OPKs...it's a blaring, darker than control line positive, too (I've never had one like that before). And my urine was pale lemonade. But testing with the same pale urine my CBFM and CBAD are both only High. So now I'm trying desperately to concentrate my urine before my LH levels drop. It is so hard for me to get dark urine! Any tips? I haven't had any fluid in 15 hours and I've peed 3x since getting up (since my pain meds cause me to retain water, I normally pee only 3-4x in a 24 hour period).
Gl!! Are you going to have attempt?? XQuote:

I would not worry about your urine. It depends on how much you drink, medications, and genetics. If you take a diuretic, it will be hard to have concentrated urine. The amount of LH, or any hormone, can still be present at high levels in the urine, independent of urine color. I would attempt tonight and call it good!!

I am 3dpo and my temp has been nice and high! I think I truly did release an egg this month! I have been hungry more than usual and there is a correlation to releasing and an increase in appetite. Thank goodness I exercise regularly!
FX! Please pray for me- I need all the help and spare baby dust I can get 🙏

Thanks for the welcome!
XXforhubby i'll pray for you :happy:
Great that your temp is still up!
I;m 3DPO as well but not hungry... The thing i have is some sort of uterus pain, like little needles. I can't remember from the other pregnancys if i had this. But i'm praying that it's a sticky little one! :fingers:
Maidentomother, i think that the OPK's detect even a small amount of hormones in your urine, so even if it's not so concentrated you should get a possitive.
You will end up with a headache when you don't drink in time...
About age...I'm nearly 35, so i think 37 is not old at all! :bigsmile:
XX, sounds promising, fx for you! Dutchgirl, I hope the uterine pain is a good sign for you, too.
Unfortunately, I know for sure that the colour of my urine is extremely important and very much does reflect the concentration. I've always found it very difficult to get dark/concentrated urine, but being on such high dose opiates makes it even more of a problem. I eventually gave up bc I was unable to get dark urine before my LH level started to drop and I was in pain from dehydration. Now it's late and I'm so tired bc I'm still not rehydrated and I have yet to BD, argh!
That must be so frustrating Maidentomother....
Hope your BD works out.
Why does my body have to get my hopes up? My bbt shot up to 98.42 today and has been steadily climbing since I ovulated. At least we know my body is functioning normally even though my FSH is skyhigh and my AMH is barely detectable.

Thank you Dutch. Xx, I'm hopeful for you!
Today got my Peaks on both CBFM and CBAD, and both cheap OPKs the darkest OPKs I've ever gotten, even darker than yesterday. Having some O pain already and planning on BDing shortly. DF is napping, we'll see how it goes...
Stupid CBFM which gave me nothing but endless Highs last cycle, this cycle I never got a High, it went straight to Peak after days of Low. I definitely prefer the CBAD! It least it appears to be accurate even though this is my first month using it.
The weird thing is my cervix has been open for 4 days in a row, but has yet to soften and only went high today. Normally my cervix is HSO for a couple days 3+ days before O and starts closing/firming/lowering before O.
FX for you Maiden! I hope you catch the egg!!

Attempt done, yay! I always feel this immense relief once I've attempted, I'm so anxious always trying to time it properly. The O pain went away before reaching full intensity so I'm hoping I don't O for at least 12 hours.
I used just a tiny bit of sperm friendly lube (YesBaby), and I quite liked it, very natural feeling and not at all sticky. DF apparently liked it too bc it was over very quickly, lol. I felt a lot of EWCM up at my cervix but otherwise I was not quite as wet as I prefer, so I think that worked out well. DF also released 2 days ago and 4 of our 5 prior attempts have been after very long abstains (like 2-4w!). I am hoping that having fresher/more sperm plus earlier O and the YesBaby will do the trick. A late September baby would be so lovely!
Good Luck Maiden :)
Xx, your words to tarasue were so lovely. Thank you! And Hooray for you in the 2ww!!! Even if it doesn't happen this time, things are improving, right?
As for maternal age, I can think of 2 ladies I know that had their first baby at 40 and another one who kept on having healthy babies into her 40s. I know personally in terms of my own energy levels I'd like to do it sooner rather than later, but kids keep you young. There was some study to prove that which I remember sending to my older mommy friends, lol. I've also heard your menopause start date relates to when you started menstruating, like if you started early you'll likely be done earlier.
I would love a September baby as well! I am 6-7 dpo, I think. This cycle has been very unpredictable as I miscarried only 2 weeks ago and seemed to o very soon after. Anyway my opk remains negative and I feel a heaviness deep in my pelvis- cramping a bit too. I am bloated too. Just maybe I caught the egg and am feeling some implantation symptoms? So so hopeful.
Good luck maiden, I'm also 6/7 dpo and proud I haven't symptom spotted once yet lol.
2 boys when you testing? Are you waiting till af due? I'm thinking a week from now!
I am back to try again this month. Super unlikely to be successful considering the slew of issues i have been having with my cycle. Good luck to everyone waiting already! I have zero clue as to when i will be in the 2ww.
Good luck Rosie xQuote:

I don't know when I will test. I have no clue what cycle day I am on so it makes it hard! I am totally seeking symptoms! It's so hard not to!!!
I feel like I am symptom spotting even though we never really tried this month(tingly bbs, pulling cramps, the other day it felt like someone was taking a bite out of my uterus???, slight nausea).... Now that I just found out my sister is pregnant I wish we would have. I have my follow up from my DNC tomorrow, does anyone know what they do? I'm sure they will take blood, but do they do a pelvic exam or a sono? I have some tests taunting me, I would like to hold out until friday to test, we will see.. Is a chemical more likely if you ttc right after(no period) a dnc?
It do! Hcg trigger shots are 10,000 iu. It takes me 8 days yo clear that amount :)

Oh I am getting excited for everyone! I sure hope to see more BFPs soon!
I am 4dpo and AF will come sometime between the 14-18th. I Oed earlier at cd13 so we'll see. If I don't fall pregnant, DH and I are considering acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. There is a practitioner near me that is from China and trained at one of the top schools and hospitals in China. We'll see.

So, I am fairly sure I O'd late! like CD 24/25. My LMP was the 9th of Dec and I got very positive OPKs on the 30/31st. I had miss read some of my earlier OPKs thinking that was as 'positive' as I was going to get :rolleyes:... Then I got my real + OPK! It's turning into a 3ww, lol. I tested today just to be sure I O'd when I think I really O'd. BFN, duh! AF is due on the 9th (it's the 6th almost the 7th here in Korea). I'm not hopefully about this month.
GL to everyone! Love to see the BFPs!!!!
I'm 10 days dpo today so hopefully I'll know by this time next week. I'm hopeful but also not that confident about out attempt because I ovulated later than usual. We BD on cd13 and I ovulated cd16 but fingers still crossed. Good luck everybody!!! Here's to lots of BFP later this month or early February 😀

I'm due 15 january :fx:
I am due the 15th-18th too Dutchgirl!! Ooh, I hope we get our BFPs! If I were a betting woman, I would place my bets on you, Dutchgirl! My hormones may still be out of wack, but I am praying that you get your BFP! I don't want any of you ladies to go through what I have been going through. BFN cycle after cycle is no fun! So, you all have to get BFPs so you can give me your leftover baby dust 😉! I'll take any kind!!Quote:

Dnc was on dec.12, so if I ovulated between then and dec. 31, I wasn't testing so I wouldn't know. By symptoms alone I may have ovulated on dec. 29th. Fx I at least start my period soon so I can know where I stand. My patience is shot!
Tarasue, fx that your AF comes soon. Then you can really start your month!
XXhubby, supersweet! :hug2:
I too hope we get our BFP!
I have all day small cramping like a light AF...Yesterday and sunday i had some sort of needles sticking in my pelvic area..
Sooo hoping that it's because of a little one getting stuck. I can't remeber how it was with my other kids, but hubby said that i had these needles as well. Still fx all day.
Keepthefaith, when are you planning to test? Do you have a long LP?
Mine is 14 days so that's only next thursday..
