Hello wise and mature ladies

Since there's been wonderful news this week, congratulations csunshine and Mama4, I thought it might be time to expand the thread with new recruits, so hope you'll take me on!

I'm 39 so hopefully qualify, am a massively grateful mum of 2 already, but have only met my soulmate last year. I would love to make him a dad and share the wonderful experience of parenthood with him. We started ttc last April, fell pg in May, m/c in June and have been trying since. I'm on cycle 6 since m/c, and about to start cycle 7. As an older ttcer, I worry about the quality of my eggs and all, so started the ball rolling, got blood tests done and have specialist appt in Feb.

Like all of you I assume, I find ttc with the pressure of our age quite tough, with moments of extreme pma, and others of real distress, but I keep going because giving up at this stage is not an option.

I feel I know quite a bit about you guys from other threads and reading your journals. By the way Nise, I am originally from France and now live in Bexhill, which you must have heard of having lived in Hastings for some time.

Anyway, would love to join you guys

Welcome aboard

 

[Mama4]

Thanks FBbaby! Welcome!!!!! I loooove all my BNB buddies - very supportive, very helpful and wonderful friends! Hope you get that BFP ever so quickly!

 

[FBbaby]

Thank you very much for your welcome

I have found that after a certain number of cycles, it gets harder and harder to relate to most threads as I feel that age is what makes me where I am; not to say that it doesn't mean the end result won't be the same, but that the limit of time makes ttc somehow more pressing. At the same time, I think age helps to make us more appreciative of what getting pregnant and giving birth means.

I am looking forward to share the journey with you all

Hi and welcome to the thread. Lol what a small world it is, I have recently moved to st leonards. Still getting to know the area but have been into bexhill a few times now
.

 

[zero7]

Ohhhh yay and congratulations sunshine and mama4 - fantastico!!!

FB - you have hit the nail square on the head about it being hard to relate to some threads after a certain amount of cycles going by and I think that the over-riding thing that defines me and ttc is my age too (42). Good luck hon - I hope you get your BFP really soon. xx

Well, afm, I had my first acupuncture sesh and it went really well. The lady is lovely and specializes in fertility. I feel really positive about it. I have also taken soy for the first time so we will have to see how that goes!

One last thing, also had bloods taken for an FSH test - haven't had the result yet but fingers crossed although I have read that it can vary from month to month so it cant be that acurate????

Hope you are all honky-dory!! Mucho love. xxx

 

[Nise]

Hi Ladies. Glad to see all's good with the Golden Girls. I've been a bit tied up the last couple of days and have been suffering B&B withdrawal symptoms - not fun!!!

Welcome to FBbaby - I know Bexhill well - Not fond memories of it, it has to be said. Despite most of my family living in Hastings I was sent to boarding school in Bexhill - 'Charters Towers' I was only there for a year - hated it. We used to go to Hastings White Rock for swimming lessons once a fortnight and I knew home was just up the road - I tried every trick in the book to get left behind, but it never worked. lol

So girls, a few New Year BFP's this cycle, eh! The bonking season approaches. Good luck all

 

[Nise]

Spencerbear - that's so funny that you live in St Leonards - I lived there before moving to London in Kennilworth Avenue! Used to go night clubbing in a club that's long since shut down and do cartwheels pissed as a fart across Warrior Square on the way home. Good days those.

Zero7 - So glad you enjoyed the acupuncture and you've got a fertility specialist, that's brilliant. Good luck with your tests. I've had FSH twice. The first time it was high 16.2 and the Gynae was like 'no hope except for IVF and doner egg' - I then started my acu and TC< and after about a month had another FSH test and it was right down to 5.8!!! Gynae has changed his tune too - though still warns me about my age - as if I don't know how old I am - twat!

 

[spencerbear]

Hi girls, How is everyone today? Hope you all had a good weekend?

All was quiet here. Next weekend should be O weekend, so wont be such a quiet one lol
Also my eldest will be 18 this week, omg that makes me feel old!!! So will be going to visit her (she is away at college) and going out.

Nise - I know warrior square but only cause ive caught the train from there lol We are at the other end of St leonards. Still got to get out and explore properly.

 

[FBbaby]

Good morning everyone. Thank you again for your warm welcome. Can't believe I have found fellow oldies, but also neighbours! Spencerbear, we are indeed only a few miles away from each other. What brought you down here? Hope you enjoy it, although it is much more pleasant in the Summer.

Nise, no suprise Bexhill bring back such bad memories. The school still exists, only a bit further up my road, but it is not residential any longer! I won't be in Bexhill for much longer though as as soon as OH and I sell our properties, we will be moving down the road to Eastbourne.

Zero, good luck with the results of your fsh tests. I had mine last week, came back at 9.7, not great but fair so was ok with it, but then I think my Oestrogen levels came back very high which supposedly lower fsh results, so not great news it would seem. But yes, it does seem levels can change from one month to another and I have read quite a few success stories of ladies falling pg, with IVF and naturally with much higher levels. So annoying when our age is thrown back at our faces as if we don't know already what it implies...


The witch is on her way today and it has hit me harder this cycle because after a few cycles of feeling dismissive, OH and I were full of pma this month having ovulated and done plenty of babydance whilst we were away in Egypt. That with the tests results, I feel like I am entering a new phase of ttc called 'pray for a little miracle'. I have a appointment with the fertility specialist beginning of Feb, so that's my next milestone, hoping to get a better idea of what to expect and actions to take then. In the meantime, I have my two darlings' birthdays coming up to remind me how lucky I am to have them. Gosh Spencerbear, 18 years, that must feels strange. My big girl is turning 10 on 31/12 and that makes me feel old already! There is 20 years difference between me and my sister (my mum had her at 42) and we have a great relationship.

 

[truly_blessed]

WOW!!! Congratulations on the BFPs girls, way to go xx

I think my bleeding has just decided to stop after 3 weeks, will go to EPU for scan to confirm tomorrow and hopefully be getting on with TTC very soon. Bought CB FM off Ebay last night so will have a new toy to play with as well
