Thanks Lulu, I'm actually not too bummed about AF, as I knew last month was a bust (with illness and social events totally getting in the way). But OH and I had a really good talk about things just after christmas, and I'm much more hopeful about this month, hence AF just means the start of the cycle :-D

Also, I got a bit freaked out when I was reading the front page and saw everyone's ages, and then I saw yours and was less freaked out :-) (I'm 24 and feel plenty mature enough for kids, but I know many people who wouldn't think that possible either)

Oh, I know, I'm the baby of the thread as far as I'm aware! Although in my area this is considered old! I went to school with girls who have got 8 year olds that were products of one night stands and I can't even willingly get upduffed easily!

I'm the exact opposite, I'm the baby of my friendship group (the next oldest person is 3 years older than me, but most of our friends are in their 30s) and NO-ONE has children. A friend of a friend has a kid, but that's it, all my friends are MNKY (married, no kids yet) goodness knows what they'll think if we DO succeed, but frankly, I don't really care :-)

Edit: Also, I swear not wanting kids must be the greatest fertility drug ever.... as soon as we want them.... nothing.... people who don't want them (yet), but are careless.... BABIES.... EVERYWHERE

Oh I know it's ridiculous. Might give up *wink wink*

Just did a test and it's a BFN. I *think* AF will arrive in the next few hours.

*hugs* Lulu, just remember, it's because 2015 is going to be THE year, hence it couldn't have been last month!
I hope you've still got lots of christmas chocolates to get you through :-) All my guests have finally disappeared so it's home for chocolate and a hot bath soon :-)

Very true!! I'm kind of hoping that because I did it at work I had to do mid-stream instead of dipping in a pot so the test didn't have enough to go off...that's how they work right?

I've not got much left tbh. My sister made us a lovely hamper that had homebrew strawberry wine in it amongst Toblerones and Matchmakers....

I'm making a cake for my friend's baby shower tonight and bought plenty of chocolate for me to decorate. (although I'm on a diet so must actually go on the cake!)

Hi Lulu, please can I be updated to the grand age of 30?!

lulu_92

There we go

You're only as old as you feel. I don't know about you, but I'm feelin' 82..

I'm on 10DPO now so will test into the new week if AF doesn't arrive. no signs either way at moment. Did have some cramps around 6DPO.

Looks like I was never added to the front page! I'm 34 - although you may as well put 35 since its a few days away, TTC from 08/14

I'm now CD12, and husband and I have just decided to BD like mad this month as we weren't expecting that I would be back from work in time and I haven't been able to track much in the last couple of months so we aren't entirely sure when the right time would be. The likelihood of being around at the right time however has massively increased and I don't think husband wants to waste the best chance we've had in quite a while and is running with the theory that sheer numbers should help matters! I'm not complaining however!

I have also started to use some Amazon OPK's which have so far turned up all negatives. I'ts the first month with them so I'm hoping they should give me a better indication of when I actually ovulate! I'm beginning to feel that with being away with the job all the time and age rapidly going in the wrong direction I'm gonna need all the help I can get!

So - 2015 - here's my fingers crossed to all who come here this year, may you all leave with your BFP quickly :-)
