I’m on my 5th day of flashing smiley.
God it’s driving me mad, last cycle I didn’t even get flashing it went straight to solid.
Boobs have started to get a little sore last couple of days so hoping that I will ov in the next couple of days. I was getting use to these ‘normal’ cycles I hope I don’t start getting long ones again! X

Long cycles are the worst Hun! Hope ovulation happens soon, if you’re starting to get sore boobs I’d be dtd just in case now xx

Thank you, have been DTD every other day since CD8 and wanted to keep to that but we broke it last night, so hoping it works in our favour and that ovulation happens tomorrow. x

I’m 39 but convinced i’m too old. I’m just panicking. Closer I get to what would have been my due date is upsetting me. I’ll pull myself together. Good nights sleep will help i’m sure. Thankyou and I am sorry to moan xx

Good luck with your testing today!! Im really looking forward to seeing the husbands results!

oh yes thats how I feel too, I started TTC at 39 for our second baby and still no luck. I conceived at 34 so easily. so I am also convinced its my age. I think fertility is different for everyone. I also think hereditary, my mum for example went on very early menopause. My cycles started to change since I turned 39 and it's just getting worse. Sometimes, I have heavy period, sometimes very light, horrible PMS, moody changes, insomnia etc...2 miscarriages. But we need to think whats meant to be meant to be and think positive as otherwise we can depressed. I need to think about other things in life. I recently started to go to the gym, weights, getting fit etc.. I need to find bigger projects as well, like I was thinking renovation if I have the money.
Good luck on your TTC and try really hard to take your mind away. You know what I also find it strange , everytime I got pregnant I was convinced that I wasn't like 200%, and every time it was a shock. So maybe there is some truth in it x

I’ve made a decision that once my opks run out I’m not buying anymore. They’ve helped me confirm roughly when o happens for me so if nothing crazy happens this cycle like o being mega out I’m gonna just ditch them. I do think they make it a lot more stressful cause you feel pressure around o time. I’ve conceived my other 4 pregnancies without them so if this next month doesn’t work out the plan is to just get rid. We’ll see! X

I think this would be really helpful for you to do, even just for a few cycles. Taking the pressure off might just be what yous need xx

So still no AF.
I told my bf today I’m late so we are heading out later on and will pick up a test to do tomorrow.

i cant argue with why you feel that way now rainbow.
i was using clearblue and one step.
found clearblue didnt have any advantages really, was using FMU for both,
first cycle i used both i got +s both on same day and second cycle no + one step and endless flashing smileys clearblue even past ovulation temp spike (wot the hell!!!) just think this was turning point for me personally, kept me on edge entire cycle. so no more clearblue!!!!
I have bought one more lot of one step just using fmu , whats a positive is a positive etc.. being chill!! if im really unlucky to need to buy more after i got thru all 30 one steps will i repurchase? dont know is honest answer.

Oh you are very right. I do need to take my mind off things nice got a few projects on the go at the mo. Decorating and painting canvasses for my nephew. I’m hoping that will take my mind off it.
I’m glad someone else thinks the same as me. I’m sure we are both ok and not too old at all but you just worry don’t you x

I totally think it will help. I’ve not used opk’s this cycle and I def think my stress levels have been lower x

yeh the clinic said they didnt have facilities for him to do the sample there so it was w*k and run (omg lol i was trying so hard not to find the situation so strangely funny, you never think in your life your going to be sat in a car holding sperm in this tub it was just surreal sad in a way but also kinda funny!) haha. clinics half hr from us so on our letter it specified no more then 1.5hrs before so yeh... lol.
it cant be nice for him having that on his birthday but hopefully the meal makes up for it!

Very faint line that looks more pink tonight but hard to see not sure if you’d see it on a pic. Feel like it should be better for 12-13 dpo though
