SPP we miss U !!!!!

 

[terripeachy]

Hey SPP!! Glad you made it over here.

 

[garfie]

SPP - Aw thanks hun - still here still waiting

Older - You haven't tested this morning have you? have you

For all our American sisters - I tried to watch the super bowl last night even convinced hubby - so we settled down him with a beer and me with a (small) glass of wine and................ he turned it off he didn't like Vernon Kay who was presenting it - so I tried ladies so instead I made him watch one born every minute (I had already seen it - but it was payback you know)

Hope your team won and you enjoyed your wings

Hi Ladies, may I join it sounds like a good place to be for my last few months of TTC

The last 22 months have flown by so quickly, never did I imagine when I started down this road that it would take so long and leave me feeling so useless.

Alittle about myself. I'm 46 with no known issues, I have 2 children from a previous marriage girl 20 and a son 18 and had a MMC with my first at 14wk. I was married for 21 years and found out my husband was having an affair 4 years ago, I decided not to stay and left with my children. I met a wonderful man online shortly after and we decided to have a child together ( he does not have children) within a few months I had my first BFP but within a few days they were getting fainter until BFN at around 5 wks when AF started I googled so much on age and getting pregnant (not a good Thing) that I realised that this wasn't going to be an easy journey!!
I have had many faint positives in the following months but nothing real, my OH has a low count but I figure if we managed it once then surely it could happen again
Sorry for the long post and Good luck to all you ladies

Hi felcity and welcome.
Of course you can hang with us! Why are you only giving yourself 7 more months? I truly wish you the best.

Also, if you are planning on testing in February, there is a February testing thread on the TTC>35 board, so Sis can add you to that.

Welcome! Sorry about the 1st husband, that must have been so hard on you and your children. Also, sorry about your loss(es?), they can be so hurtful and emotionally draining.
We are all here for the long haul, so feel free to vent, cry, and celebrate as you so choose!

 

[garfie]

Hi Felcity - welcome hun - I also met my new hubby on line seems a lot of us do

Have you had any tests carried out - worried about you saying faint lines most months - do you test early like some of us

[felcity 45]

Thank you Ladies feels nice to have somewhere to come to share the ups and downs(there has been plenty),i have no one to talk to about it as we never told anyone due to age I suppose and the not wanting to be asked every time we see people lol

Teripeachy ..I felt 47 would be the right cut off time for me, I feel like I have been so absorbed in the TTC for the last 22 months that I have not appreciated the other things going on around me but who knows whether I will change my mind

Oldermum1975.. Yes it was a difficult time as the children new before I did!! but the marriage wasn't great to be fair so I think it was for the best in the end...you could say he did me a favour and thank you for your kind words
Garfie...The internet seems to be the in place lol and yes I have had quite a few tests, HSG, bloods etc all normal apparently. going for scan this afternoon to see if polyp is back but was only small last time and then disappeared I am the worst poas addict I just can't help myself lol any excuse and any time in my cycle, even when ovulating to see if it picks up LH!! whoops lol I am the evap queen I think, I usually have lines at sometime over a period of 2 or 3 months. This month particularly bad. I ran out of tests yesterday and AF due tomorrow...I'm going nuts here not having anything to pee on but determined to not buy any more. Weird cycle though this month, still no spotting which is amazing was better last month too, I have managed to get to cd28 again...yay

 

[Sis4Us]

Welcome Felcity 45

 

[felcity 45]

Thanks Sis4us and everyone else for the warm welcome

 

[moni77]

Welcome all and it feels good to hear everyones journey. Helps cement that we are not alone!

So AF finally arrived yesterday - very light but getting better today. So I am counting that as CD 1

I went to the doctors today - no answers as to why such a long luteal. I do have a small 3 cm cyst on the left side - but he thinks it is not enough to stop this cycle. Waiting on the blood work. He is keeping the meds the same for now. With my quick maturation, we might still get the IUI in before I leave - otherwise we try naturally while on vacation.

I'll be posting this on the Feb page as soon as I can get through the 8 pages of posts since sat!

 

[Sis4Us]

Moni is the cyst 3mm or 3cm??? 3cm would be 30mm which is quite large I had one 36mm that Caused issues!!

Yay for a Fresh new Cycle!!!

 

[battyatty]

HELLO Stick my name in the list!
Just in the middle of cooking, so will check in better after eating.......

 

[garfie]

Felcity - Do you take your temperatures - most of us use an app called FF - Terri is the queen of instructions for them - we all love to stalk a chart

Hey you are in good company with POAS - er isn't that right Older

Heck sometimes it gets so bad we have to pee on dandelion leaves (or is that just me)

Oh no sticks - aaaarrrrgh - I'm sure we could send you some

Moni - Aw bless I hope it is the smaller range - I have also had a cyst and when they wake up ouchieee

Batty - Hello lady how are you

AFM - So I'm still on 6DPO 2 days until testing day oh and I'm off to the gym - wish me luck

[Sis4Us]

Yay we have some POAS or Dandelions soon!!!!

 

[felcity 45]

Ha Ha Garfie, that is so funny...Dandelion leaves??

I did temp and used FF for the first year but it felt like it was taking over my life and I ovulated pretty regularly so stopped, well say stopped I had a hissy fit and bent the thermometer in frustration I also used OPK's but have since stopped using them too.

I've just got back from my scan and all looks fine, , fibroid has stayed away and ovaries look good so going to try the Clomid I've been prescribed...fingers crossed, I've put off using it for ages now

 

[Sis4Us]

Hoping it's the Lil Nudge u need Felcity!!!!!

 

[felcity 45]

Me too Sis4us

Have any of you taken it and experienced any symptoms?

 

[oldermom1975]

Me too Sis4us

Have any of you taken it and experienced any symptoms?

I never used to think so (I have taken it several times), but something the MIL said when she was visiting made me rethink that...
Apparently, I am moody.
I do know my ovaries ache, and lately I have had some hot flashes.
What is your dose?
