July testers - Over 35

[Wendyk07]

mbababy - Good luck Sal...I hope you end up with a BFP! The temps sound promising!

I tested today (because I just couldn't wait) and got a at 11 dpo, so I'm going to try testing again on Tuesday. AF is due on Wednesday...so we'll see. I've had cramps and tinged cm since 6 dpo (which is unusual for me)...so I'm hoping it might be a sign of IB...but trying not to get hopes up too much. This waiting is not fun!

Good luck to all the others testing soon....let's get some BFPs, ladies! Lots of to all of you!

11dpo is still pretty early hun. Hope this is your month and the witch stays away.

Hi girls,

I had such a good weekend. Taking the pressure of and NTNP has really helped. I would be POAS waiting for a +OPK and driving myself and DH nuts but instead we are totally chilled. We took DS to Millport (a small island of the west coast of Scotland) for the weekend, the weather was fantastic and we all had a great time. It was fun and peaceful at the same time. Just what i needed. Even the fact that its Monday morning and i am back at work hasnt wiped the smile from my face, well not yet anyway. lol

We have decided that if we dont get out BFP this month or next then we will have another month of NTNP and so this each quarter until we get that happy news and a sticky bean.

Good luck all testers for today. I have a few updates to do (all witches) on the first post but i cannot edit from here so i will get right to it as soon as i get home.

Hi girls , hang in there googly , I hate the wait too. Last cycle I was terrible !
Salimar , sound very hopeful . I didn't test pos for about a week post af , good luck.
Afm , well , I'm now in the terrible tww . Not officially on ff , but had my first temp rise after o dip so may have one more dance tonight for luck. Feeling good because if nothing else we certainly gave it a good shot .phew, What a sexfest , looking forward to a bit of a rest now. The rest is up to mother nature , I'll be praying but no more temping for me. I found out last month it just made me obsessive and more stressy. Going to play it cool , and hope moving countries will give that witch the slip.
Take care everyone.
Ps sorry Jodes , yes I have two wee girls , the loves of my life. We always hoped for three this one would complete us it's likely to be the last . They are 5 and 3 . My beautiful first baby has a condition known as Dystonia which makes her muscles go into spasm. She's otherwise a very happy , normal wee
thing. It breaks our hearts regularly having to watch her struggle, but there's little we can do. She's getting worse , no treatment is working and I'm stealing myself for thoughts of surgery but were a way off that yet. I do worry that I'll be able to give her the attention she needs with three children. I worry I'd let them all down. You would be good for advice on that one . I worry were being selfish , but also I feel siblings will be good for her too . Sorry ramble alert again

Bubba your not rambling so please don't apologise. I take it your scottish too? Awww your girls sound just gorgeous. I'm sorry for your eldest girl Bless her and like you said at least you are moving back to where her specialists are. I really hope her quality of life improves.

With regards to having more children it is not selish and please don't feel you will let them down. Remember you have your husband too! I would say it's harder having one child than having 3 at least the other siblings can play and help each other develop. I think it will be very good for your eldest to have more siblings. So don't worry. What i always say to my children is 'mummy can be shared' and sometimes we will just sit on the sofa (all 5 of us) and just watch a movie and cuddle.

I'm thinking of giving EPO a go - I'm sick of waiting 3 weeks to O. I know you have to stop it when you O, but is there a limit on when you can start it? I'm on CD6 at the minute - is that too late?

Its not to late hun but EPO has been known to make people O later rather than earlier hun. It didnt make a difference to me when i was ttc with my DS, i O'd right on schedule but last month when taking it i either O'd twice or i was a few days late.

EPO makes me O later rather than earlier too!

Ok EPO plan definitely being re-thinked. Re-thought? Re-thunked?

I find my tww's go much faster when traveling or with something keeping me busy. Sounds wonderful

Dunno chick, I think it affects different people in different ways, I started taking it cos since I stopped taking the pill I was spottier than when I was a teenager! Plus my PMT was bad, when I was on the Pill I never really took a break so it was a bit of a shock to the system.

For me this cycle O ing late was a WINNER , I deliberately increased my dosage of EPO to make sure that happened, as my OH works away, last month, well it wasn't the most convenient as it caused us to miss out BD on the crucial day of O, also I got a shorter luteal phase as AF came early (but I'd also messed with my cycle to try and sync up with OH works' schedule with using a miniBCP, aaargh the complications)

 

[Wendyk07]

Smile wiped totally from my face now. The spotting had stopped on Friday of last week but i have just been to the loo and here we go again. its a little more than spotting today though, more like the end of AF. i thought i was done
Everywhere i google it says anything up to 10 days of bleeding after a chemical but this will now be 12 days. Whats going on?

Arrrrrghhhhhhhh!

 

[Junebug_CJ]

Wendy hun definitely get it checked out, just to err on the side of caution. Sounds like you might need an ultrasound just to make sure. Your body just went through a lot hormonally, I can't imagine what it was like... Don't let this ruin the beautiful weekend you just had with your lovely family

AFM SMEP last night came to a halt as DH was having a difficult day with his dad's recent pass away Hope we're back on tomorrow... I don't know what else to do for him, I'm being supportive and I guess that is all I can do really...

 

[Wendyk07]

Hi girls,

Been back to the loo twice since i last posted and nothing. I called the Early pregnancy unit and was told that "It just has to run its course". That was it basically. Oh and "did the HPT show a negative". So i am no further forward in searching for an answer.

This sucks!

 

[Mbababy]

Bad news...AF got me 2 days early... I had a feeling when my temp dipped this morning. Oh well...onto trying again...in cycle #4.

Best of luck to all of you still waiting!! to you all!

Sorry she got you Mbababy... GL for next cycle x

 

[Junebug_CJ]

Wendy, sorry they weren't helpful, that is so frustrating... Do you have a good relationship with your family doctor? Might be worth giving them a call? Maybe he/she would be comfortable examining you and booking an U/S?

Jax and Mbababy, so sorry got you I was praying to see your BFPs this morning when I checked in... for next cycle!

Sal, fingers crossed!!! Are you sure about your O date?

 

[Jax41]

And just to make my day AF has showed up with her old friends...cramps, back ache and period poo's, yuk, yuk, yuk!!!! GOD, I just want it to be home time so I can sink into a nice warm bath with a glass of wine...sigh.....
