TTC #1 at 35+

[mazcal]

So we know I've been having the most vivid of dreams lately. Last nights dream was just amazing because in the dream I was pregnant. I had my . It felt so real that I almost woke up my DH and asked him if I did a test before I went to bed!

So I got up this morning and POAS or 4!! They are all positive and I am in absolute shock. I can't explain how amazing it feels and I think this thread must be very lucky indeed. I'm just hoping that this little one sticks around for 9months. I thought getting pregnant was hard enough but keeping hold of it is a completely different ball game.

Thank you so much for all your PMA and I'm sticking around with you if you'll have me in the hope that the baby vibes will rub off on all you wonderful ladies.

Big hugs and lots and lots of lucky x

p.s. I'll post test pics in the gallery.

Thats amazing, congratulations! Which test did you use?

Thank you so much.

I used Sainsbury's own brand first as it is sensitive for 4 days before AF is due. Then I had the little dip test ones that came free with my BBT Thermometer and then I got, the mother of all tests, Clearblue Digital so I could see it in writing.

All of these tests have been in my wardrobe since I started ttc.

OMG Ella that's amazing news, absolutely brilliant. I replied to a few of your posts in the miscarriage forum and I'm so made up for you that things have turned around. I'd push them for another scan before the 12 weeks if you can or consider a private one. My EPU was really good with scans after my MMC and I had 3 or 4 in total.

Hi all BTW, I've been lurking for a while. I turned 40 in Dec, had MMC in Nov with #1 and hopefully back to normal now. Deliberating over whether to TTC now or wait until end of March when I get full maternity pay (around 6k difference!!). Currently on CD10 after last cycle seemed to be around 16 days. :wave:

My pic is me when I was 3! I put it up because I was wondering if I had kids what they might look like....silly aren't I?

 

[mazcal]

I posted something that vanished, wierd.... I have changed my pic to me when I was 3-4 yrs old. Its not my child....just wanted to explain. Oh my previous post suddenly appeared, something wierd is going on!

Does anyone wonder if they have a child, what he/she will look like, what their personality will be like?

Does anyone know how you start a thread on here, I can't see any way to do it?

 

[spacegirl]

Gosh lots has happened since I first joined this group!!!

Ella I'm so happy for you it really is a miracle I felt so sad when I heard your initial news I hope you can now relax and enjoy your pregnancy!!

I haven't posted for a while but have been lurking a bit

Beanhopes, Congratulations!!! I've been reading your posts alot you seem like a really nice person and I was so pleased and happy for you when I read abt your news!!!! How exciting!!! I hope everything works out and that you can share your tips with the rest of us!!!

We haven't been trying properly for long really. Started measuring BBT which has been all over place due to illness and a hangover (after tia maria of all things! never again!). But I'm hoping I can figure out when I ov. I get a pain on one side on CD10 of 25 cycle so I'm hoping it's then. Can't seem to notice any EWCM but I was pleased to read from another poster that sometimes you have to go right up in there and find it...I think i'll pass and assume it's there!!!

Might start using pre-seed as sometimes I seem a bit dry Keep seeing posts about softcups too but not so keen on that idea (yet!).

to the rest of us!

Congratulations to you too you'll be fine honestly. As much as you see bad things happening on here there are so many more that end up with healthy babies at the end of it. Enjoy it.

As bad as it was for me, it wasn't meant to be that time. It was my first BFP and we hadn't been trying other than I'd been off the pill for 15 months, I had no idea about ovulation and temps and CM and all the rest of it. I'm better armed now and I've got my CBFM buddy to help so we'll see what happens and hpe for the best.

Hi spacgirl, I had the same, not alot of visable cm few weeks ago, but loads would appear suddenly at a certain time if you see what I mean so it was up there hiding I think! Good luck!

I have deleted my ticker cos I don't know what the heck is going on now, trying to stop self testing again too soon, waiting for af first a bit longer. Couldn't look at another bfn right now!

OMG ... I back off getting too obsessed with TTC for a few weeks and try not to be too obsessed with these sites, then pop back on yesterday to see Ella's amazing news and now Sam's!!!

Hugs to you Sam I am so thrilled for you - take good care of yourself and enjoy every moment!

Ella, hope you are taking good care of yourself (or rather that hubby is!)

Lisa - hope the PMA is still flowing - I know with that much PMA, it wont be long til you're celebrating too!

Hi to all the newbies that I've missed whilst I've been away - you're in the right place for support

Hubby's SA came back today - don't know exact results and wont til our next appt - but letter said 'normal' so that's good

Sorry I've not been around much lately - I do miss all you amazing girls, although maybe if I stay away a bit more lol, I might bring you all some luck - each time I pop back on there's some more good news lately!

Deb xx

Sam!!!!!! Chuffed for you hon. H&H 9 months to you but please hang around. The vivid dream thing is nearly always a good sign that you are preggers!!! xxxxxxxxxx



Hi Truely blessed!

Debs- great news about the SA.

Cute picture Maz!

Hope everyone is having a nice w/end. Me and hubby have just been to Waitrose and bought lots of yummy things to eat tonight and a bottle of wine. The fires already lit so we are cosying up for the rest of the day/eve.

Love and hugs

Phewy!! That was difficult. I just cooked lunch for one of my friends. We had a long standing arrangement to meet up but after this morning's shock I had really wanted to cancel. MY DH said if I can get through this lunch without saying anything I'll get through dealing with everyone else no problem. We don't want to say anything until we've got through at least 12weeks.

It was lovely to see her and her 16wk old baby girl. Munch munch.

I still don't believe it! I wonder if this is normal behaviour? I guess once you have a scan it seems more real.

Thank you so much for all your happy thoughts. x

Zero that sounds like one great romantic evening ahead.

Omg sam huni yeah congrats huni what a lovely valentines present!

I am so pleased for you, this thread rocks xxme next mr storky or I'm de-winging you lol

 

[marie73]

Wow that's fantastic news for you Sam! Lots of congratulations and good luck wishes. Gives hope to the rest of us! Well still no sign of af but just don't think I'm pregnant. Have thyroid problems which caused very sporadic periods before diagnosed so think I need to see GP. Anyway had nice day - work tomorrow! On Valentine's day too!

 

[EllaMom2B]

Sam!!!!



CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

You'll be due in Oct w/ me!!!!

I feel like our good news is somehow karmically connected.

I would jump up and down for you if I could jump!!!!

I cannot even tell you how happy I am for you... Beyond thrilled. (Still doesn't feel real even after a scan, but then again I have no symptoms and certainly don't set a good example! Try to relax, and STAY AWAY from 1st Tri. Too scary! Girls post more when things are worrisome, so you get a distorted picture. Trust me, don't go there. I get freaked out!)

See? Told you we'd be going through it together! We all will be!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Hugs,
Ella

Trying to keep calm and not thinking about it all too much! Try to be a glass half full kind of girl most of the time. Just to clarify Lisa - this is our 2nd or 3rd cycle of properly ttc, so still early days but you always hope it will happen straight away. Did try some OPKs but soon got fed up - think they were cheap ones. Also using pre-seed. Felt I ov'd about day 14 or 15 with lots of ewcm and some ov pain, but don't think it's my month. Just had glass of wine but purely for medicinal reasons of course!

Wine sounds good

Of course I thought bingo bango first month and that would be me up the duff lol but seems to be taking a little longer

Although I try not to stress and just let it happen every time the arrives I HATE HER

It's amazing how we sympton spot and some get no symptons and others loads so I have learnt not to sympton spot cause I think I am preggers every month lol

Lisa - I've missed your entries about how long you've been ttc? What's the general consensus on what if anything is helpful for conceiving as people have graduated from here?

I hun i have been trying for 7months now but the girls will tell you I am the PMA queen and try not to stress.

I just finished my divorce from my ex have a wonderful OH wh I love dearly and we are about to get a nice house in the country, so I am hoping in a few months time when we move in I will be preggers and everything will be perfect

I had a faulty fer last month which said I was pregnant liar frer but I knowit was just getting me prepared for dealing with a real :BFP:

I am supposed to be getting my 21 day bloods done but forgot to book an appointment so might have to wait till next month, although I have settled down to a 28day cycle OPK's show me O'v on cd14 so I think i am ovulating ok. Anyhow thats the frist step anyhow, I take pregnacare tablets still drink wine, coffee etc OH is taking pregnacare for men just started this month.

So hoping for a or even
