TTC #1 at 35+

Ella, Lisa - thanks so much for the welcome back :kiss: You girls have given me a good boost of PMA :hugs: ... along with the very (small!) glass of red I am sipping away at :winkwink::haha:

My DH has popped in the pub on his way home from work to console one of his team who is having a really tough time. I am waiting to finish cooking our dinner, sausages & mash with onion gravy, I am starving and it smells soooo good! argghhhh!

Feeling silly for feeling sorry for myself earlier, I really have not had it that hard, my tests have all come back with good results and 7 months isn't so bad and there are sooo many women conceiving at our age and much older, there is really nothing to worry about. One thing that gave me a little perspective was the 'Official January/February Testing Thread' tracking threads, you know the ones that list anyone that wants to be listed by their expected testing date, its updated with their BFPs/AF. There is a good example of real life statistics right there! Across all ages and situations, each month roughly 15% of people get their BFP. With that in mind it is 'normal' to take several months to get preggo, some get lucky and conceive straight away, some of us take longer but even the ones that take longer are still 'normal' as frustrating as that can be! Hope that makes sense? - the vino is making me giddy, I am such a light weight lately! Anyway, the moral of the story is "I must be patient", "I must be patient", "I must be patient".

We are finally getting around to getting DH's SA done next week, I'm hoping I can take it in on Monday. The doc said the initial results come back after 3-4 weeks and the detailed results come back a few weeks after that. If we are not preggo by then (which we will be hehe PMA PMA PMA) then we get referred.

Hope you all have a lovely evening you wonderful lot xxx
 
Having my own private pity-party over here, just took a HPT test (ok-ok, I took 2! :blush: 1 x 10miu/mL IC & 1 x FRER) BFNs :cry:

I am only 9dpo but with an 11 day LP I just can't see much hope :nope:

Sorry girls to come back with NMA, forgive me, I will be fine in a couple of hours xx

:dust: for you all x


Hey hope4BFP,


Great to have you back not least because I love looking at your avatar picture it's so beautiful...

What is FRER? 9DPO isn't that v early for testing? Looking (and obsessing!) at all the pregancy blogs some have had BFNs at 14dpo but then turned out to be pregnant...So don't lose hope yet :friends:

Thank you :hugs: FRER is First Response Early Result HPT. I know I am daft for testing so early :dohh: couldn't help myself again today... I did another this morning (10dpo), another BFN but it was just an IC so not such a waste :wacko:
 
Feeling bit gutted today. Now 14dpo and period due yesterday. Was starting to get a little hopeful but the witch is here!! Started to get pink CM and usual period symptoms (temps still high though). Didn't help people talking about having kids at work and what it's like being pregnant...

:sad2:

Awww sorry hun :hugs: I know it can be really hard going when the witch rears her ugly head, I'm gonna get her for you!:gun:

Is it defo full blown AF, don't want to get your hopes up or anything but it's not over until she fully arrives iykwim? I think a glass of vino (1 glass won't do any harm either way) is in order, and chocolate, and anything that makes you feel better :friends: xx
 
Hey Hope4BFP

Not full flow yet but i've got the usual dull aches etc...she's definately here. I will take your advice and drown my sorrows in wine :wine: and chocolate (someone needs to make a chocolate smiley)!

CXxx

Hi C

I'm really hoping it's just implantation. I had AF type cramps and pink/brown cm for a week. You are not out until it's a proper flow. :hugs:

Enjoy your :wine: and chocolate anyway.

Sam x:hugs:
 
Hey Lisa

I'm sorry the wicked one got you! That is just crappy.

You are completely armed and dangerous and well on track for a March :bfp:.

I'm sending you as much PMA and :dust: as I can.

Big hugs

Ella how was your appointment? Did they leave you any blood?

Sam x
 
Thanks girls xx next month it's my turn:) lol
 
Hi everyone! Sorry to Lisa and Spacegirl that af has made an appearance. But here's hoping you'll be lucky March conceivers to coincide with the start of spring! New life and all that! I'm doing OK - bit of lower abdo discomfort on and off relieved by a heat pad. And horrible sensation of feeling sick and starving at the same time! Can't believe I'm in bed already with a face pack on! Can't enjoy a lovely glass of wine anymore so I'll be the one driving for the next 33 weeks! Lisa - are you really buying a porsche? I'm very impressed! Love to all and lots of baby dust xx:hugs::flower:

Hi hun

Hi everyone. Sorry I've been MIA for a while. I've been extremely busy and trying not to obsess. Congrats to the BFP's - wow!! You give us all hope!

Just started TWW. We had good BD timing, although that's been my pattern for months. Here's hoping it works this time around.
