Back to try for #2 at 40, anyone want to join me?

I'm just seeing your post now BlueFairy1. So sorry about the CP.

Jazzbird, I can totally relate to feeling like it's not going to happen but at the same time worrying about how another child would affect the one you already have. The age thing just makes those feelings worse.

AFM, I don't think we're going to be able to make a try this month because of our work schedules. DH is having to work some late nights this week and I don't see how we'll be able to squeeze it in.

Thanks ladies for your support. I have some local mum friends who think my fears are a sign I shouldn't have another one. It's nice to know you all understand. I literally flip from fearing I'll never have another child to being terrified I'm pregnant! Will be testing this weekend but pretty sure I'm not this month.

 

[CaliDreaming]

Oh wow that's pretty extreme to say that those feelings are a reason not to have another. I think it's perfectly normal to feel that way and good because it is a huge change that you need to prepare for.

I felt like that Jazz, totally normal I think. Jeesh I panicked with the first baby once I knew everything was ok, despite being desperately wanted. Any change to our situation is daunting.

Good luck. Stay away from that friend, lol.

Caved in and tested 3 days before AF due and BFN. Eight such a rollercoaster of emotions. At least I won't be puking at Christmas time!

Hi all. Got a Bfp yesterday. Not really expecting it-cycles have been all over the place and tricking me with pg symptoms so just ignored it this cycle! By lmp am 4+6 but by bding prob a couple of days more. Waiting for msg from Rmc consultant to hopefully get progesterone again. Fingers crossed.x

Congratulations ! Yay.

I am almost 40, 39 now and trying for a second child. I want them to be close in ages too. I feel like time is running out, but I may actually be pregnant. Don't have the "guts" to take a test too soon. I am 3 days past due. I regularly chart my ovulation days and keep up with everything concerning my periods. My main issue is that I take a medication that can raise your prolactin levels and cause you to not have your period. I never had this before, even when I was trying to conceive. So, it could be that, so I am not 100% convinced I am pregnant. DH doesn't want me to test until I am really late too. Had extremely bad cramping starting the first day I was late and the second day too. Now, today, I don't have any cramps. I am so excited even to be late! Baby dust

 

[CaliDreaming]

Notshowing, I sure hope you are pregnant. Strong cramping can indeed be associated with pregnancy. Good luck!

Congrats Nessaw!!! I don't know how I missed your big news!! Hope all is going well with your pregnancy!

Good luck not showing.

At the mo all ok. Twins suspected at 5+3 confirmed at 7+3. Waiting to see if they share a sac. If they don't our odds are better if they do it could be a rocky road. We lost twins at 14+5 3 years ago to twin to twin transfusion so I'm really struggling to make any sort of bond with the pg. Just waiting it out...

 

[CaliDreaming]

Nessaw, I'll be sending all the positive vibes your way I can. The prospect of twins must be exciting and frightening at the same time. I hope they don't share a sac and your pregnancy can proceed without as much worry.

Good luck Nesaw, I am praying for a positive result for you!
