Hope you're ok Becks? Xxxx cps really suck babe nothing positive about them really - except getting pg but it's crap when it's gone again.

2016 has to be a better year for all of us - wishing everyone a sticky healthy bean for 2016 xxx I think I'm about 3dpo but after cp last month I'm not going to get hung up on testing x hope everyone's ok?

 

[Oasis717]

Hey there... I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.

I'm 43 (44 in March 2016). I have 2 children from my 1st marriage (DD 20 & DS 14). I'm now married to the love of my life (since 2009) and I've recently started feeling a very strong tug to have our own little family. (Would have been a lot better if I'd decided that a few years ago!!!) DH is 13.5 years older than me and has 2 children from his 1st marriage (DD's 24 & 30) and even has a 1yo grandson.

Sooooo I'm thinking it's a little crazy that I want to have a baby at this point in our lives, but it's a really strong feeling that I can't shake. We're both "young" for our ages and I think we have a lot to offer at this point in our lives. Love, experience, wisdom and a lot of patience.

Having said all that, we are both extremely happy with the way our lives are now, so if it turns out that it's not in the cards for us, then I guess that will be ok too. (I'll be disappointed, but not devastated) So I'm going to give it my best shot, but if it doesn't work out naturally, then so be it.

As this decision is still very recent, I'm going to spend the next month or so doing a fertility cleanse (I'm going to follow the Whole30 eating plan) and letting the fertility supplements build up in my system. I don't foresee TTC until Feb at the earliest and then might skip March because I'd prefer not to have a Dec baby.

I'm looking forward to going through this journey with others who understand the struggles and feeling associated with facing the challenges and sometimes the realization that even though we feel like we're still very young, sometimes our bodies have other ideas.

Best of luck to everyone.

Hi beba wishing you the best of luck x

 

[Sunshine14]

Hi Ladies Happy New Year to you all! Hope you all have a fabulous wonderful 2016 xxx wouldn't it be great if we all got a healthy sticky bean this year - let's hope it becomes a reality for us all this year and not just a dream. Good luck everyone xx

Welcome Beba and good luck on your ttc journey. I think you are so right we all feel that we are still young enough to have another baby on this thread but the challenge is to get our bodies to cooperate.

I'm currently 8dpo bfn on early tests, boobs a bit heavier but no obvious symptoms so I think I'm out - how is everyone else doing?

 

[Oasis717]

Happy New Year Carmel. A sticky bean for us all would be amazing, I'm CD 7 so about 9 days or so til o, such a long wait! Xxx

 

[lunamoona]

Happy New Year ladies! FX this is going to be our year!

I'm CD19 and just have a +opk today, feeling like I have no chance this month as I've eaten far too much chocolate

Welcome Beba, hoping 2016 is your year too

 

[Oasis717]

Snap was supposed to start healthy eating again yest! Xx

 

[Sunshine14]

Haha I bought a weighing scales as we didn't have one and I weigh almost 2.5 stone more than after my second child v depressing! I went walking / running on Thursday and again today and managed to jog for 15 mins today. I ate about a lb of chocolate last night though. I'm going to try your diet as well Becks i.e. protein and veggies for dinner each day and see if I can shift some of the weight. I didn't realise how the weight had piled on without a weighing scales. That will be my new focus to get weight off in next few months ......

 

[Oasis717]

I know Carmel its so annoying whilst I'm only up a couple of lbs cause I didn't eat all over Xmas from being ill I could of spent the last 3 weeks loosing not staying about the same! Dh is 28 on the 5th so come the 6th that's it protein and salad/veg again! The weight just drops off on that diet if you stick to it Carmel best of luck with it xxxx

 

[tag74]

I have been taking a Holiday BnB break but promise to check in a bit more now. Catching up now! Hope you all had a nice new year!

 

[TTC74]

I see some familiar faces here. So, I thought I would pop in. I'm 41 and on my final TTC journey (dh's first journey). Frankly, I'm feeling quite defeated right now after a holiday MMC. I plan on hopping right back on the train again, though.

 

[pirate1974]

I'm almost 42 and I'm trying for #2. My first I conceived at almost 40, so there's hope for us all!!! I'm 9 DPO which aligns with my first day of my period as I ovulate super late, and i'm starting to spot. I'm just ready for #2!!!

 

[Sunshine14]

Great to see you back again Tag xxx

Welcome to TTC and Pirate its lovely to have more ladies on board to share the journey with us ����

Ttc I'm so sorry for your loss hun - 9 weeks is tough especially around Xmas period - I was dealing with an ectopic this time last year and I found it very sad to have an mc around New year. Big hugs to you.

Pirate good luck with your ttc journey hoping you get your second baby xxx

Becks and Mel how you doing?

Becks I ate fish & veggies tonight and I'm blinking hungry again now lol but hoping it will start to have an effect!

I think af will be here tomorrow as spotting for last two days.

 

[BebaVuk]

I don't know if it's this board, my fertility app community, PMS or what... but in the past week, since deciding to start ttc #3, I have gone from super laid back (ie. if it happens, it happens) to BABY CRAZY!!

YIKES... this isn't boding well for me. I see babies and pg women everywhere. I can't help looking at baby stuff whenever I go shopping. It's ridiculous and is probably setting me up for a much rougher ride than if I'd maintained my "cool" outlook on all of this.

For those of you who are several months into the process, how do you temper your baby-crazy-ness and anticipation? What types of things do you do to keep from obsessing? I'm a bit of an obsessive personality to begin with and patience isn't one of my virtues, so I'm thinking I should try to get a handle on this ASAP, before I drive myself and everyone else around me nuts!!

 

[Oasis717]

Welcome to any new ladies xx
Carmel I'm CD 12 expecting to o around the same as always CD 16 which is Sunday and dh might be working away this weekend if so that's us out as he'll leave Friday, I know you CAN get pregnant by bd before but with me any cycles that's happened have resulted in nada so doesn't work for me, oh well if we're out we're out! Well done it does take awhile for your stomach to shrink and the hunger pangs to go, I'm same hungry still for the first few days then it gets easier, was Hubby's birthday yest so I am starting today xxx

 

[lunamoona]

Hello to the new ladies

TTC very sorry to hear of your loss, 2016 is a fresh start for all of us and fx it is your year too.

Pirate, I ovulate late as well, I'm on cycle day 24 and think it will be today or tomorrow, it's such a pain waiting for it. Good luck for #2.

Carmel, I'm back eating healthy too which is kinda great and kinda sucks all at the same time. I'm going to miss chocolate as I'm an addict and am hoping to get to Easter before I cave in again

Oasis I hope your hubby manages to get out of working this weekend, I guess you can only give it your best shot if he does

Tag nice to see you back :wave:

Beba, all I can say is that you're not alone. TTC is one crazy ride

 

[Oasis717]

Yep he has to go tried to get out of it but his boss wants him there so he leaves after work Friday aft back Sunday aft and I'm due to o Sunday, that's us out! Xx

 

[Oasis717]

Positive opk last night then darker than the control today and hubby leaving lunch time what rubbish timing!! We did bd last night and set the alarm early so this morn too lol but I'm not hopeful, I need to bd everyday to get pregnant, ah well xx
