TTC #1 at 35+

[zero7]

Hello ladies Hope everyone is Ok on this blue sky Saturday. (It is here in Berks anyhoo!)

Day 29 for me today and only a few mild AF type symptoms so far. My cycle has been 26 days for some time due to stress/anxiety issues so I am happy either way really - if preggers (not getting hopes up) or if its my cycle getting back to norm - I used to have 28-30 day cycles.

Sam- hope you are feeling a little better hon.

Sending you all shed loads of babydust..........xxxxxx

Woah!! They were completely out of order and no understanding of what we are going through!

At no point did we set out to alienate certain groups but on bnb there are several threads for people who are 16-40 ttc no 8!

We are a grown up, civilised group of ladies who have all shared similar experiences except for the illusive and much wanted .

Big hugs to Leilani and the rest of you.

I'll be back soon with my PMA. xxx

I found some PMA and will be drinking it later with my Chinese it looks liek red wine but I am convinced it's PMA.

Good to hear Ella you are feeling fine and the morning sickness hasn't kicked in yet. Zero that is also good news tthat you cycles are getting back to normal although am secretly hoping it's your :bfp; fx

Leliani to you hun wishing its your month xx tracey hope yu enjoyed a huge glass of vino last night and are getting geared for the egg hunt.

Beanhopes sending you babydust xx

mmm, what a strange intervention.... there is already a thread for older ttcers, regardless of whether it is first time or more. My understanding is that this thread is not JUST about the difficulties of getting pregnant because of advance age, but to share other issues relating to trying to becoming a mum for the first time after 35.

Thanks for stopping by FBbaby - we love getting support from other members of the forum. I'm glad you "get" us and the purpose of our thread!

I was quite hesitant about coming back in here this morning, fo fear I'd started a shit-storm in a tea-cup, and I was the one who didn't "get" the point of this thread.

Glad that the PMA is going around, especially to you Zero, I'm always glad when AF shows up (after getting over the disapointment that this wasn't my month), as she generally shows up exactly when she is supposed to - I had a few squiffy months fter coming off the pill, but have had 3 text-book cycles since then.

Lisa - keep that PMA juice flowing - I had a couple of sips of wine/PMA on Friday night - but I don't actually like wine that much - I'd rather have a cranberry juice!

Enjoy the rest of your holiday Beanhopes - make the most of that weather!

Morning ladies!

Lisa- how was that particular vintage of PMA? I'm going for a dash of it this evening along with roast beef. It will be a well balanced little number with top notes of positivity leaving one feeling smooth and velvety.

Did a cheapo test yesterday afternoon (I know not best!) just for the hell of it - BFN! So CD30 for me with the odd mild cramp here and there. Dont feel pregnant at all though so just awaiting AF now.

Hope you all have a chilled out Sunday girls.

Laters...xxxxx

Hi, can I join in?
I am 37 in a week and just started trying for baby no 1. I am a bit afraid I am trying so late, but it was through circumstance rather than choice, I wanted to wait until Mr Right came! My cycle seems to have stayed the same as when on pill so far ie 28 days, but mad heavy AF!
The first two weeks pre menstral I had was pure hell, I had all the preg symptoms and was really feeling ill and tired. This time round its alot better. I am trying not to spend two weeks each month thinking 'I could be preg' cos it will drive me crazy. I need to chill out about it! Its nice to know all you girls are going through the same thing, glad I found this site! Have a lovely Sunday everyone!

So PMA huni that it's not to long until your arrives sending you babydust

 

[zero7]

Lisa - that made me laugh!!! Also reminded me of times long ago when out on the p*** and you've been chatting to someone you fancy thinking you were looking hot, only to see yourself in the mirror of the ladies loo with blood red eyes and teeth!!!

The flew in at around mid-day for me btw but I was expecting her so no sweat!

Welcome spacegirl and mazcal You are both in good company here (even if I do say so myself!!) Hope you both get your BFP's soon honies. xxx

 

[mazcal]

Thanks Lisa1, I hope that too and for everyone on here.

I think I need to go and swat up on abbreviations on here, I don't even know what is BFP? Lol

Also how do you put on all those pics and timelines of your cycle?
I am about 5dpo if the pains serve me correctly, so far no pre menstral crap thank God! But wierd real intense rib pain, bizarre what the pill masks!

While we wait, its good to chat.

 

[mazcal]

Thanks Zero 7 and lol!

Ok huni here goes your abbreviations
BFP= big fat positive= kinda like the loch ness monster you know someone who has seen it but your sceptical about whether it actually exisits.

BFN= big fat negative=generally when you get one of these you believe it's a faulty test and keep going till your period arrives

POAS-pee on a stick= this is highly addictive and will become your favourite thing to do and you will find your self POAS in funny places i.e work toilets friends houses and then trying to splat your oh in his eyes with pee to confirm what you have seen.

ewcm=egg white cervical mucous= this is quite possible the most bizarre thing about ttc when you will spend hours staring at your pants and sticking your finger up your whoopie and then looking at you finger

af/witch=auntflo/period= this normally is followed by rage then chocolate and then vino doesn't matter which you start with although chocolate is a must

2ww=2weeks after ovulation=this is generally when you lose your mind and become a crazy person and sympton spot like a wild women

Thats my abbreviations I am sure the rest have some more lol

 

[Lisa1]

oh how could I forget BD=sex= this is when you know your ovulating and will beg, steal or borrow your OH spermies with or without his consent lol

He really doesn't stand a chance, you can use lingerie, wine but I just go for rope that way he can't escape lol

I am joking by the way although if I tied him up I wouldn't have to watch him play XBOX just so much

 

[mazcal]

Lol, you are funny!
Ok, I know most of them now. I know what you mean about flippin x box lol

I would symptom spot but don't have any right now, which is cool cos last month was Kerazy!

I have already done all the above heehee, I don't think he minds getting to have BD more often though, he just doesn't want to talk about it all the time like I do, plus he's already got one kid. I don't think men understand that its a big deal for us, because after all its happening in our bodies.
I am enjoying not having fake hormones every month now, and relieved I seem to be back to normal almost.

Thanks for that, I did do a timeline thingie at Lilypie but not allowed to post it yet cos I am too new.

I know what you mean about BFP, its something we have only heard about and never actually seen. I can't even imagine seeing it thats the wierd thing. My friend was TTC for 15 months. She said when she finally got her BFP, she still didn't believe she was preg until the scan when she heard the heartbeat.

Thanks for all the welcomes, good luck!

Ok so the has forced me to drink 2 large glasses of wine and although I had a very substantial roast beef she still insisted that I eat a large bowl of raspberries, merigue and whipped cream.

Compensation for the pain I say!

Going to have a nap in front of the log fire now.......probably wake up dribbling.....!

Lou Lou xxxxxx

 

[Lisa1]

yeah that is a bad girl made me drink a bottle of red wine last night chinese and sweeties

but seeing as she won't be around to long seemed rude not to lol got my doc appointment on Wednesday gonna tell him I am not leaving till he gets me pregnant!!!! OH is now panicking cause he knows we are one step closer to him being intimate with a plastic cup lol.
