Feelin' kinda hopeful ...

TAT2MAMITAT2MAMI member
in TTC after 35

Hey ladies!
According to my Ovia App, I'm supposed to get AF on Friday.I am currently CD25. DH and I did the deed during FW. I let the 'juices marinate' (Gag!).
I am feeling some cramping and some lower back pain, which I haven't felt in a long time. That's about it for symptoms, but now it's got me wondering...
Don't want to get my hopes up, but I am REALLY hoping this is the month, as terrifying as the thought of starting all over again with a newborn is to me.
I'm too nervous to POAS, so I'll just wait it out! Just needed to share. Thanks for reading! :)

Me: 38 ~  DH: 38 ~   DD: 8
TTC #2 since March/April 2014.

    Good luck, fingers crossed for you!!! 

    I have found in the months since TTC that PMS symptoms mirror pregnancy symptoms. :( Not saying you couldn't be KU! Just saying I try to take symptoms with a grain of salt because they have literally been driving me mad since December. Even my symptoms with my pregnancy that ended in loss were just like non-pregnant cycles.

    Curious, because I have seen you say that you use the Ovia app (which I don't know anything about)....are you temping and using OPK's to determine your most fertile time and to confirm O day?  Just wondering how you know you're due to get your period on Friday. When your period comes is entirely dependent on when you O'd!

    @katie0919 - I have not started temping. I am soley going off of this app which you enter your period info into and it 'predicts' when you 'O' and when your AF is due. I know it's not highly reliable, but I do usually cramp around when I say I'm supposed to 'O.' And it's definitely not like we only DTD during FW. DH has a high libido and it can be a bit much! (sorry for the TMI).

    @lgsdesigner - Sorry chica. I wish I did have a chart for your to stalk! Thank you for offering.

    Last month, AF came and was a total surprise. I had no symptoms it was on it's way. My lower back is so achey and sore right now and the cramping is constant.
    BUT .. I do know that these could easily be AF symptoms and that's why I'm just going to "go with the flow," and see what happens. ;)

    Good luck sister!!  I'm gearing up to O myself so excited.
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    Thank you, ladies. So now I don't know if my mind/body are messing with me. My chest area is feeling achey. Not tender. Just achey, like from within if that makes sense. AF came on 7/5 last month, but app says to expect it on 7/1. I don't fully rely on the app, so that's why I'm just going to wait and see what happens.
    FX for all of us!! :)
