Good idea! I'm 29 and only on cycle 2. I already have a 9 year old daughter and an 11 year old daughter

Aww you're 3rd will be well looked after by its big sisters x

That's what I'm hoping!! They're lovely girls so I'm very aware that I'm already blessed but i'd just love a little boy

 

[chattychar1990]

Thought it would be good to find out more about each other, so .... how long have all you ladies been ttc and how old are you?

I'm 34 and on my 3rd cycle now. I have a 6 year old daughter. X

This is good Emma

I’m 28, this is our 3rd cycle xx

 

[chattychar1990]

It’s 8 dpo for me and I have very painful ovary cramps. It’s left and right both sides ache. I don’t want to get my hopes up. I will test tomorrow 9dpo probably another bfn.

Maximus hope your feeling better than yesterday xx

Hiya a little better but sooo tired. And very down about TTC as it’s been months. Your symptoms seem very promising though. When will you test?

Going to try and google off Maximus and not test until
Tuesday.
Glad your feeling better. Xx

Hi Emma,

I'm 39 and this is our first proper cycle of ttc. We had a go last month but I hadn't really thought about ovulation timing properly so this is first go, but 2nd cycle I guess. We are away on honeymoon atm in Las Vegas. Husband came back with coffee earlier and said mine was the one without the stick in, followed by of he gave me a stick is probably pee on it, lol.

No children. We got married last may (delayed honeymoon due to work and study).

I’m 34 (35 next month). One son age 4. Cycle 8 now. Me and one of my best friends decided we’d try to conceive around the same time for our second child as our firstborns are same age. She gets preggers 2nd cycle, third time she’d had sex in 6 months, i’m still running the OH ragged for 10 days a month with no success -typical.

 

[Mandy123]

I am 30 (nearly 31) and on 3rd cycle, but off the pill nearly 4 months now. TTC first baby.

chattychar1990 that is weird that we seem to have had identical situations/cycles - glad its not just me! and its good to actually have somewhere to chat about all this! don't really have anyone around me in the same situation - in fact the opposite most of my friends have had their babies and trying not to get pregnant!

 

[Sjf0709]

Just to join in... I’m on cycle 3 of TTC after coming off the pill in May. We have been married for nearly 4 years but been together for 15 years. I’m 29 and OH is 31.

Hoping we get lucky again soon and everyone else does too! Fx and baby for you all x

 

[Mandy123]

yes good luck to you all!

so.... OPKs for anyone who does them throughout their cycle - this is my first cycle i am doing them daily. i got very strong positives on CD12-13, then negatives - lighter lines but today CD17 i still have a negative (the line is not as strong or stronger than the control) but its darker! Id expect it to remain very light due to the surge i had a few days ago! Any ideas? or anyone experience this and think its normal!?

 

[Hlouisebaby3]

Loving reading all these! Great idea Emma I think we all deserve our results this month

 

[Maximus17]

OK So strangest thing happened today so after a BD session i saw some pink blood but nothing like period but enough to notice it. Also cramping followed it and my ovaries are very sore. I am a bit worried now as I am 8dpo. Anyone knows if this could be implantation bleeding or there is something I should worry?

Hi, I am 30 and my OH is 36. We have been TTC our first since March with 2 MCs. The second MC resulted in sepsis and rushed into a&e and a 4 day stay in hospital with a d&e. Since then we have waited 2 cycles to TTC again. I have been lucky to have 2 perfect cycles which makes me feel positive for this September cycle. I am waiting for AF at the moment and testing right at the end of this month

 

[LuckyG]

So I found out my sister is 17 weeks pregnant today, I am very happy for her, just jealous. She lost a baby at 23 weeks not too long ago so she really deserves it.

I’ve still got some EWCM, negative opk, short, sharp cramps and I’m on CD19. We’ve been DTD though just in case, but I don’t know where I am

 

[Vespa]

I’m 39 and my partner is 33. We’re ttc our first baby. I came off the pill last October and got pregnant in February only to miscarry nearly 7 weeks later. We took a month off and this will be our 5th cycle however timing wasn’t great with work trips for both of us so this one is probably a bust.

I’m currently 2 dpo so it’ll be a long wait to this next cycle!

Hahahaha that really made me laugh about the stick! Enjoy your honeymoon, very jealous, Vegas is on my wish list!

Really interesting to hear about everyone's ttc journey, really hope this is a lucky thread for us all! x

Awww so sorry to hear you've had such a rough ride with ttc, really hope you get your well deserved BFP and it's a happy and healthy pregnancy x

 

[Crumble]

Hi, I am 37 and my husband is 42. This TTC is for our first baby together but we both got children by previous marriage. I got a 18 years old girl and a 9 years old boy, he got a 15 years old boy and a 10 years old girl.

Awwww LuckyG don't feel bad to feel jealous, it is absolutely normal.... yesterday I felt the exactly same way when one of my colleagues came in to show us her baby as she is in maternity.
Be positive, will happen to us too....

Hi, Can I join?

I have been following this thread for a while and it seems like a great place to share stories, you all seem to support each other.

I am 34, TTC our first (but my husband has kids from a previous marriage). This is our 9th cycle.

Could you put me down for testing on the 19th please?
