38 and TTC first baby, anyone else?

[Left wonderin]

Thanks Lola if the test is positive dont think ill tell oh till Christmas Eve but I don't dare to think its going to be . The only upside to a Bfn would be being able to drink at my Xmas party !! But I'd happily sacrifice that

 

[lola33]

That's going to be a looong wait til Oh knows !! well, fingers are crossed... sending all the baby dust I have !

 

[Wish2BMom]

I'm dying to know, left!! how are you feeling?

skweek, Jessie, everyone else - how are you all feeling?

I need to live vicariously through you all for the next 2 weeks, I'm only cd4. I asked DH for 'sex every other day for 10 days' for my bday present .
I also realized I'm TIRED of seeing pregnancy everywhere (except on here, ecstatic for all of the BFPs) in our lives. I'm sure it's a phase and we've all gone through it. Trying not to be scroogy, but it'll be nice to have dinner with some friends on Thursday who don't have kids. I can't take more nodding and smiling and 'sharing based off of what I've seen or experienced with my nieces' stories.

yikes, sorry - unexpected rant there...

 

[lola33]

Wish, I went through that phase too ! Actually even now, I don't want my life to be all about that pregnancy!
That's good you bd every other day ! Can't miss it that way !
now comes the long tww.. but hey a bfp right for Christmas would be awesome!

Left, we want to know !!

 

[Wish2BMom]

OH sorry - i'm only cd4 right now, AF over the weekend. But I'll get BD'ing this month for my bday present! haha
Hopefully a NYE BFP, ASAP!
(course that will be probably too early to test, I'll only be about 10dpo by then, but I should probably test anyway before indulging that night)

 

[lola33]

oh sorry !! Sometimes if I read too fast, I miss things... for some reason I read 4dpo. not my mother language blahblah. sorry !
Well that's a good bday present ! I hope it works ! !!

 

[Left wonderin]

Girls sorry all that fuss for nothing tested an bfn disapointed but not devastated . I am still hopefull for us all . And the grea thing about this game we play is that we always get another chance to try . So roll on new year BFP I'm gonna concentrate on enjoying Christmas and having a glass of wine or three on the the positives of bfn

I know exactly how you feel about nights out with no baby talk !! I used to so enjoy them when they happened . It reminded me that there is more to life than ttc and babies . And that life can actually be fun and enjoyable looking forward to my Christmas party from work were I will NOT be talking about anything to do with babies lol

 

[jessiecat]

Hey ladies
Aww. I wish I had girls night. We moved to a new city and I barely know anyone here. We've been trying to get to know people, but I haven't really "clicked" with any of the women yet.

5 of my very closest gfs do not have children and 3 most likely never will (long stories) so we hardly ever talk about kids.

Left: YEA for the positive thinking for a happy start to the new year!

Wish: sounds like an awesome bday gift!

I'm at the end of my cycle so just waiting for something to happen. I've had 5 days of sore boobs now, but that's normal for me for since I've become more aware of symptoms.

 

[Wish2BMom]

You'd so be in on my girls night if you were near, Jessie!
FX'ed for you that it's not just regular PMS stuff!

I'm sorry left, but sounds like you have a good head about you! I think it's a little easier (at least for me) when the holidays are here b/c they are so bustling already - easy to concentrate on other things! And yes, have a glass of wine or 3
Cheers, ladies!

Wish, maui, kiley and left: you ladies are next and then we can change the thread name to "38 + and expecting our first"

Skweek: you were right about that HSG. Wow.

 

[Tui]

Oh jessie, when did that happen? Congratulations.

 

[Tui]

Just booked my first scan girls. Wish me luck, it's on Monday afternoon.

 

[lola33]

Jessie!! what what what ??? wooohoooo ! congrats !
Tui, can't wait to know about that scan ! mine is on Dec 22..

 

[Wish2BMom]

good luck, Tui!!!!

 

[Left wonderin]

Jessie !!! Yahooooooo another one bites the dust !!!!! So happy for you we are falling like flys around here can't wait till we can rename the thread !!!!! What a great idea how you feeling jess ???

Tui excited for your scan and I'm sure everything is just as it should be

 

[jessiecat]

Tui and Lola: My scan is scheduled for Jan 16. Can't come soon enough.
i just want to know that all is well. I'm sure you're both feeling the same way. It's nerve-wracking.

Left! My boobs would give a porn star's some stiff competition! HA! They're huge and sore. Waves of nausea at night but nothing too bad. Pretty bloated too. I'm exercising regularly to help keep my weight steady. I'm short so if i put on just a little weight i look awful.

Wish: what day is your bday this month? when does the BD marathon start?

 

[Mauijaim]

Wow Jessie, congrats! Bummer tube be damned! You did it! So exciting! I'm so happy for you!!

Tui- I'm sure everything is going to be perfect. Thinking of you and your little bean.

Left, Wish and Kiley - we're next!

I'm waiting for O...monitor is reading high but not quite peak yet. I was planning on BD every night once we hit the high mark, but DH is grumpy and I sent him to bed early. Should hit peak tomorrow. I've been testing in the early afternoon and evening to catch the surge as soon as it starts. We are using preseed again. Here's hoping!

 

[Wish2BMom]

I like your thinking, maui!!

Jessie - my bday was last Sunday, the 7th. 39 - gross!! I had my dinner with the ladies last night but the landscape of attendees changed slightly, so there were some kid stories. I guess that's going to happen at our age, huh? Not many, though. I'm just so saturated from smiling and laughing at their stories, I feel horrible even typing that!!
did your boobs pop since you got your BFP or have you always been so lucky? (I'm a jealous B cup over here...) that sucks they are so sore, though - PMS-sore is one thing, I can't imagine worse!

BD'ing session may start tonight, I hope - though we're going to a concert over an hour away, starts at 7:30 - we may be too pooped by the time we get home! But if it starts tomorrow, cd9, then we can do 11, 13, 15, 17 and that should hit everything quite nicely. I may even try to fit in a 16 in there! we'll see what powers I have - this is exhausting and virtually uninteresting when you're doing it on a schedule, as you all well know! I guess I'll start the OPKs around cd13 as well, since I usually O around cd17. No need to start earlier. I'll start temping then too. Oh joy.

in other news, I didn't have a drop of alcohol at dinner last night! my friends were all very suspicious and I had to explain that it's not b/c I'm already preg, but b/c I want to do what I can to conceive. One of my friends was all 'I don't buy that - look at all the drunk b*tches that get pregnant every day...' and I countered with 'yeah, but they are all usually in their early 20's with young eggs!'

 

[Left wonderin]

Wish 39 your a spring chicken !!!! I'm flipping 42 !!! Well 42 going on 25 I got pg twice in a year when I was 40 , so hoping I've still got it lol..... Done lots of reading and aparently its no different ttc at 40 than 42 so who knows !!! I'm not giving up trying till menapause hits lol..........

 

[Wish2BMom]

HAHA thanks, left!! cluck cluck cluck

where are you in your cycle? I just checked out your FF - you are waiting to O? BD'ing lots this weekend?
