TTC #1 at 35+

[Beanhopes]

Hello
Sorry I've been off here more than usual. With going away on Monday I was working untill really late last night, my DH came home so it was a last minute Chinese Takeout and a bottle of wine for me.

Lisa I'm so sorry maybe you just need your HCG levels to get stronger and your test in the next few days will be a . Everything crossed for you.

Ella I don't think you need to worry about taking the drug cocktail from the looks of those tests. Woohoo that is without a doubt a

Tigger good luck for Sunday honey. You might have ovulated twice this month?? Just a thought. If your temps dropped and your cm was fertile that's why fertility friend can sometimes amend your ovulation date.
I hope you've had plenty of and caught that egg.

I go to Dubai on Monday night. I'll be keeping a close eye on you until then. I work for my DH company so we'll no doubt be working a bit when we are away so if I can get hold of the laptop I'll check up on you all.

What do the CD21 bloods check? Is there a reason for concern?

How's everyone else doing? I'm sorry to have totally hijaked this thread! Sam, are you in Dubai already? And how are you Tiger?[/QUOTE]

I read up on it and I'm a bit confused tbh, there are some scary causes (and some not so scary)! High prolactin level can stop you from Ov'ing, my levels are just above the normal range. My doc didn't seem too concerned as I still seem to be Ov'ing (from blood tests and my own charts and opks) but wants to check it again just it case. I'm sure it will be fine. Thanks for asking :hugs:
Thanks for the banner link too, I have added it already :thumbup: Thanks Leilani!

Beanhopes - Just in case I'm not on here again before you head off, have an amazing time in Dubai!

Ella, Lisa - Still got everything crossed for you!!!

Tigger - Sorry to hear about your OH's job, I'm sure he'll find something soon. Fx'd for you for tomorrow!

7 days and counting for me... tick tock, tick tock..... arghhhh!

Catch up with all you lovely ladies in a few days :kiss: x

Hi all

Just keeping a low profile at the mo...tearing my hair out waiting for AF...she's due Sunday. I so nearly POAS today...had to put the test in the kitchen so i couldnt grab it when in the loo!

Got bad news today also - OH got paid off so unless he gets another job asap there wont be a wedding in July. We'll still get married but it wont be the one thats planned. I'm really not that fussed about the "big" wedding to tell you all the truth - the more i think of it the more i just want to get married, end of! Me and him and the registrar lol.

I'm also quite confused by FF. I've only been temping since the 9th and when i put today's figure in FF decided to tell me that i'd ovulated 3 days ago! Despite the fact that i'd had 4 +OPK starting 5th January!

GOD I WANT WINE!!!!!!

Tigger

Wanted to reply separately about your OH's job. I'm so sorry and I really hope he gets another job very quickly.

My DH and I got married in Palma, Majorca but because it's not legal in Spain we went to the registry office the day before we flew out to Spain. It was just me, my OH and our two best friends. We booked the smallest room available and it was just us and 2 registrars. It was really emotional and I have such special memories of that service.

It doesn't matter where you do it and how many people are there it's just about you two.

I really hope you have some really exciting news on Sunday.

Well you can't get more positive than that - Yay - that is fantastic news I am so stocked for you, and even better that you did it without the drugs (not that the drugs are a bad thing, you just never reallyknow what they might do).

"I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it, la la la la la la la la la la la la!"

 

[Leilani]

Oh Lisa - What a total bugger, though you know what thay say; "It ain't over til the fat lady bleeds" - not suggestion you're fat, but you know what I'm saying.

Tigger - so sorry about your OH's job, what does he do? FX for Sunday

Beanhopes - Hope you have a great time away - be careful no nookie on the beach - they frown on that sort of thing over there!

Hope4BFP - I thought day 21 only tested for progesterone (to check OV happened)? I got my prolactin done as part of my day 3 tests

As for me, bit surprised (though sort of expected it) got a peak on my CBFM this morning - a jump straight from low to peak - so not much warning, but we did BD last night, and now will do for the next 2 or 3 nights - if DH can cope with 4 in a row - I think that might be pushing it a bit, he's no spring chicken anymore (45) and his doc had a few concerns about his SA - though we weren't given any numbers, so it's hard to know if they are ok/marginal or dire!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone (we get Monday this week too!!)

 

[Beanhopes]

Mwah to all of you!! xxx

 

[EllaMom2B]

Thanks everyone! Fingers crossed...

Hey Leilani, good luck with the bding! Does OH have Monday off too? He can rest up for the matress dancing!

I'm sorry about your OH, Tigger. I think there's something wonderful about an intimate wedding, and you can always have a big, blow-out party for an anniversary later on!

Thanks again to all you brilliant ladies, and your BFPs are on their way! It will happen!

 

[Tigger_lass]

Hi Guys

Thanks for all the thoughts xxx

Ella - fantastic news xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lisa - i'm sorry hun but with your PMA you will get your BFP

Well no AF yet. Don't feel like AF either but she could be a sneaky besom and jump out at me when i least expect it...i hope not - i'm working today lol.

Was at my niece Hattie's 3rd birthday party yesterday. Had a blast - 18 kids running riot lol...just made me all the more determined that i AM going to have my own LO....PMA rules!!!

OH and i have been talking and we've both decided that neither of us want the big wedding lol. It's actually not all down to finances/job (my mum already gave/lent us the money to get married and she had said pay her back whenever) so the money is there but it doesnt feel right. I can't get into the planning and it's because i really dont want the circus it was turning into. i was starting to add people who i really didnt want and thats a no-no. I think it will be better as a much smaller, more intimate and special event - you guys are right! I feel such a weight has lifted off me lol.

Oh well, I guess its still a waiting game. If AF doesnt show today i will retest tomorrow - if that's negative do you think bloods would be better?

Hi Tracey

good idea about the wedding much better idea intimate wedding will b so gorgeous and you have who you want at it not who you have to have lol

I am awaiting the dreaded hope you don't get yours hun I was a POAS addict so have promised myself no more POAS until after af is due.

Don't know which is worse the 2ww after O or the 2ww till O omg my life is just one 2ww after another

So I am gonna make an appointment this week and see the doc get checked out, although are docs are rubbish i have never had a smear or a blood test tht hasn't needed redone because they have lost the results idiots

So back to the gym on Monday and the house thing is moving on well so can keep busy with that and work, am being sent to Munich for 5 days with work which of course is when I ovulate!!!! arrrgghhh

wonder could I sneak some OH swimmers with me in one of those clear bags the airlines make you put ur makeup in maybe the turkey baster might give it away lol.

Lisa my DH is away for two weeks at the end of Feb when I'll ovulate and we've joked about putting a stock of swimmers in the freezer for me! Just cross that we'll miss out becuase he's away. I will be looking for a fertility specialist if I don't get a Valentines . I need to have plenty of your PMA for this month.

I had my friend over for and carrot cake and she had her 14week old baby girl with her. My house looked so great with a car seat and changing bag in it even if it was only for a couple of hours.

Come on Valentines

Hi ladies Mind if I join in??

I am 42 and have been ttc since I was 40 years and 10 months!! I have managed to get preggers twice but lost both - one was a mc at 12 weeks and one was ectopic. I also lost a falopian tube.

Its nice to know that you ladies understand how it feels to be trying for #1 and all around you, you keep hearing how 'time is running out for you' and 'of course, its much harder at your age'!! Its also the fact that none of us already have children - dont get me wrong, I dont begrudge anyone who's already got kids, but I think we understand that it is a totally different position to be in. I haven't put that very well- but I hope you know what I mean and I hope I haven't come across badly.

Sorry, I've waffled!!

Anyhoo, hope you'll have me and look forward to chatting to you all.

Lou Lou xxx

Lou Lou - welcome

Beanhopes - have a fab time in Dubai

Ella - congrats huni

Missing you all, but needing to spend some time focussing on my marriage and giving the TTC a rest for a couple of months - at least as far as the obsessional OPK's etc go - just going with the flow

Love and hugs to you all xx
