TTC #1 at 35+

[Lisa1]

Hi Lisa

Glad you are having a good weekend! I know what you mean about relaxing about the whole thing - I have tried to back off from the whole TTC thing and chill out a bit more and it's definitely helped our relationship and our sex life ... which in turn has helped me to relax ... so roll on the

Well the girls have left now after a good meal and a few drinks missing my OH can't wait till he gets home tomorrow

fx Deb must be time for some more

 

[Lisa1]

Well girlies your all being very quiet where is everyone in there cycles?

I am cd13 waiting for O and OH lol

 

[Leilani]

Hey there.

So I'm on CD26 or somthing, but the worst thing is, I'm now 37!!

Had a good birthday - apart from some work issues - which always happen on/around my birthday - as it's also the time of year we have to do all sort of things for the Ministry of Education to determine the school's funding/staffing for the year. We went out for dinner - it was good, made better by a gift-voucher we were given as a wedding gift, so it only cost us $20. We woulddn't go back and pay full price mind you!

Spent most of today with 50 kids, then the late afternoon with 32 000 football fans. I'd never been to a footie match before, it was quite good fun, but soooo hot, we had to move seats at half time, as we were melting/burning in our allocated seats!

So trying not to think about what could happen over te next couple of days, I don't want to get my hopes up, and I have no symptoms, but.....

Lisa - enjoy your DH's return!

Hi Lisa,
I'm on 5dpo, so pretty much in limbo, I would say. Analyzing any little pain or twinge in my tummy and then reminding myself that it's way too early and it means nothing.

Alice,
Did you determine if your bleeding was AF?

B.

me to hun Limbo till the eggy pops out, my OH has just arrived home and he is wrecked from a weekend drinking gonna have to pull out all the stops to get some from him

I might just sneak up on him lol although his spermies are prob drunk from all the alcohol so they might be useless!!!

Alice,

B.

I am assuming it was AF. I have been bleeding for 2 1/2 days. It is lighter and lighter but all my symptoms are gone including the tight little knot like feeling I had in my abdomen. I just feel normal again. sigh.

I guess at 39 it was just too good to be true. At least I know I am fertile though.

Aww huni

ttc is hard as AF symptoms and symptoms ar so similar which makes it harder, plus hen your TTC you notice evry little thing. I came of the bcp and the withdrawal is like being pregnant for the first three months every month I thought that's it I am preggers.

But huni chin up and PMA cause yes you are fertile and it's just a matter of time before you get your

Hey Lisa,

I'm cd13 waiting for a steady temp rise. Got a temp rise yesterday so was pleased but today it was back down to low temp. The room was v cold this morning though could that be why it was low? (clutching at staws I know!!). I didn't feel any ovulation twinges this month which worried me slightly but i've not paid much attention before so I don't know if i get them every month anyway..

I've just bought a clearblue fertility monitor just to get me more obsessed than I already am! If I could just get the all clear saying I'm (still) fertile I'd probably relax a bit more abt the whole thing and be more patient/positive.

grrrr...

Hope you had a great birthday Leilani. Love and PMA to all xxx

Have you thought about getting a home test? - I got one a few months ago (will find out name if you're interested) - it checks to see if you've got a high level of some hormone that tells you if you're heading for the menopause - sorry that's a bit vague, but I know it helped put my mind at rest a little xx

 

[Leilani]

Here's what Deb is talking about.

I've thought about buying one, but with everything else down here TTC related, they are stupidly expensive. I've also has the FSH test done as part of my CD3 bloods, and whilst my GP didn't give me any actual numbers, she said things were as they should be at my age - which didn't fill me with confidence, but I figure I'm not past it yet.

On knicker watch here, have had creamy CM today, but that's what I always get at the end of the month, so not reading anything into anything really. So it's 15DPO and 15 is the longest luteal phase I've had in the few months I've been using my monitor, last cycle was 15 and the 2 before were 14.

Hope you had some quality BDing Lisa!

Hi All

Been lurking rather than posting lately!

I'm on cd11 and the BD is beginning! I'm also due to get my cd3 tests back this week so FX'd for some good results.

How is everyone else? Ella, Sam and Marie - how are the babies doing?

PMA and luv!

Txxx

 

[marie73]

Hi all - hope everyone's well and still going for that PMA! Lisa - hope you've been enjoying your BDathon - more than I've been doing as I'm too scared! Tracey - thanks for asking - I'm fine although feeling sick for part of every day now and my usual huge appetite has diminished dramatically! Things I usually love make me feel really nauseous, but never mind I've got off lightly compared to some. Have a private scan booked for Friday, just to put my mind to rest. I'll be 9 weeks then - roll on 12 weeks! Then I'll be telling everyone! Xx

[EllaMom2B]

Hiya,

Sorry... busy at work these days. I'm 10 weeks today. I told my not-direct supervisor, swearing her to secrecy, and she just about burst into tears, she was so happy for me! My director supervisor I'm waiting to tell until 12 weeks, partly because I just had my yearly evaluation and didn't want to complicate that. (It went fine.) OH and I have decided I'll take 10 months off -- 2 paid and 8 unpaid. It's a good amount of time, which even my happy not-direct supervisor noted, but it only happens once and I want to enjoy it!

Otherwise I'm not at all sick (only that one day I felt icky) and have gained too much weight! My (.)(.)s are huge! Don't think I'm really showing yet, but my waist is much thicker, and my bloat-bump is enormous. My hips have widened too, but luckily I generally wear skirts rather than pants.

Wish me luck in these final weeks of the 1st tri! My next scan is a week from tomorrow (the 17th), and I'm so nervous!

to all!
