TTC #1 at 35+

[EllaMom2B]

Thanks so much for your nice words...

OH and I patched things up a bit, kinda that awkward "sorry" that still feels unsettling because you haven't had a chance to just get back to normal, you know? (It was a BAD BAD BAD fight.) I'm still totally teary and gutted and full of NMA, but checking in here always helps!

Ironies of ttc: I would definitely be able to relax if I could have my big glass (okay, glasses!) of wine tonight!!! Anyone go by "drink till it's pink"? Naw, guess we're all too good. Sigh...

Here's sending babydust to all!

Hugs,
Ella

P.S. What's up with the test, Lisa????

 

[Lisa1]

well i did POAS and it was a but you know what I don't really mind it's early and I am still feeling positive.

My little bean might be getting comfy and not yet attached hopefully so today I have the belly the size of a 9 month pregnant women very bloated and my cramps are now directed to one area just under my left ovary. It is only sore when I bend over no other symptons.

I always have a glass of vino if I want one find it relaxes me after a hard days work. My job is very stressful and I would only ever have one glass although after I know I have O thats me until AF arrives. (me Bad) I know

Lisa can I suggest, for the safety of people within close proximity to you, that you don't bend over too much! What with your bottom behaving the way it is right now.

I agree a glass of wine has to be better for you than the stress! Just think of all those people who find out they are pregnant and they've been drunk and eating prawns etc!!

I'm certainly not giving up prawns, mayonaise or rare beef just in case I might be pregnant one day so I reckon the same goes for a glass or two of wine. Confession time I'm so fed up today I've walked in and poured a glass of wine! . Reckon it's all the talking about it.

Oh Ella I'm sure it'd be fine if you had a small glass of wine. Just take a few deep intakes of breath and try to relax.

I'm here if you want to rant at any time.

Big hugs honey. By the way my name is Sam (Samantha)

Hi Guys

Well, i couldn't take it anymore...bought a twin pack of FRER yesterday (last minute dash to chemist before it closed...been obsessing all day about will i wont i...). OH saw the pack when he got in and said "you're not testing yet!". I said "no, in the morning"...he just rolled his eyes. Well...i was up like a lark this morning...and BFN.

I'm really not surprised. I kept telling myself it wouldn't be +ve but I have to admit to being upset when i saw it. AF is not due till 24th so I am really early to test but i can't help it!! I swear I'm not going to test again unless AF doesn't show on Sunday.

Strangely...i keep singing the chorus to the Journey song "Don't Stop Believing"...maybe Lisa's PMA is rubbing off!! Either that or it's cos i watched Glee on sky+ last night lol.

Hope you all are well xxx

 

[Leilani]

Tracey - you're very naughty for testing!! POAS can be an expensive habbit. Now go and hide that spare stick somewhere you won't be tempted to recover til Sunday.

Thanks for putting that song in my head, though I only know those 3 words and a bit of the melody, so it might just drive me mad!! Gotta love Glee though!

 

[Tigger_lass]

tee hee hee

don't stop believing....hold on to that feeling!!!!

 

[Hope4BFP]

Hi there! Well, I am turning into a bit of a stalker when it comes to you ladies and this thread I love reading your posts but I don't seem to post too much myself

Here's the latest from me: I am currently 2/3dpo, had a huge temp spike yesterday and a big dip today (I do have a cold! ) - think it is way too early for implantation dip anyway?

I am very positive this month, lots of PMA but not the type just very chilled, content, happy, open minded - that's all thanks to this site, everyone is so supportive of each other and I feel like I can say anything like... I actually felt pregnant last night (stupid, I know, way too early and it was probably to do with me having massive stomach bloat after the flight hehe, big fat belly got me all broody! )

My AF is due around 30th Jan, I'm going away on hols on 30th so will POAS that morning (if AF hasn't reared her ugly head!) so that I'll know if I can indulge - best part of getting AF!

Wishing you girlies all the luck in the world for your BFP this cycle!

PS. I swear my bbs are hurting... oh dear, I am symptom spotting already, eeek!... it's gonna be a long 10 days!!!

 

[Beanhopes]

Hello

Who is next to test? I really want to hear some good news and a

Hope4bfp you are definately in good company on here with liking your wine. Symptom spotting is the only way to get through the 2ww. Wishing you lots of luck and

I'm definately singing Don't Stop Believing now!

[EllaMom2B]

I was bad too and tested really early:

AF is due on the 26th or 27th, so it's really only 9 dpo (though I don't chart or temp, only go by when EWCM turns lotiony and the cramps/bloating/embarrassing gastric distress I've come to associate with mid-month go away). So the last day of all that noise -- literally, since it sounds like plumbing work in my bowels, lol tmi -- was Monday the 11th. I never know whether that's OV day or the day before or the day after, so I'm guessing that I'm 9 or 10 dpo.

Anyway, sorry to prattle on and on. My .Y. do feel bigger, but I think that's because I've gained some weight ttc. Terrible! There's always that unconscious thought of "well, I could be pg, so..." I'll be a COW by the time get a . Which I still hope is this month (which would mean no drugs, thankfully).

How are you wonderful lot? Thanks for everyone being so lovely!

Hi Sam, Ella, tracey and hope4

Sorry girls the testing might have been my fault as I couldn't wait and we have all tested way to early lol but what the hell.

since I tested all my symptons hve gone away lol think the reality of a test took it away

But anyhoo it's still early girls and hope4 not long till you get egg chasing. Come on girls PMA all the way xxx

Just wondering how you all do B&B I start with here now then check the BFP annoucements then see if anyone has added a new birth annoucement then its on to TTC forum to read the threads finish offwith my TTC Journal.

Like creme egg time how do you do yours?

Hi
Keep that PMA you are so full of hope it's addictive.
I'm a bit scared of venturing too far on bnb. I check out my buddies (you lot) then check out the TTC forum. Last night I looked on the chat room but it was empty so I ran away quickly before anyone came in
I've only looked at the BFP test results etc when someone I've been chatting with gets one. You know just to confirm there is a line.
Do you all do a TTC Journal? Should I be doing one??

I do the journal so i can look back on last month BD symptons etc, what I did when, how I felt etc. thats where I rant about everything not even just ttc but work, homelife etc.

I find it helps sometimes just to read back over things as i am very forgetful lol

 

[EllaMom2B]

I'd love to read your journal, Lisa, if it's public and you wouldn't mind..

I always start here then go to the test gallery. Since my FRER have only ever been snow white, it's reassuring to know they do work!!! I used to read the ttc board, but I find a lot of the questions are the same.

And I know it makes me a bad person, but I can't stand 20-yr-old girls or moms with five kids being apeshit about ttc. I'm sure those who have been trying for years or have serious physiological issues feel the same about me, whining after six months. That's why it's nice to find a group of women in a similar situation.

Btw, I keep forgetting to fix my info: I'm in NYC not the UK (though would love to move there someday).

Skipped my exercise class this evening -- shame on me! -- in favor of a glass of wine. Yum!

Cheers to you brilliant lot!

Right there with you Ella - I look through the TTC new threads, to see if anything catches my interest, and sometimes I can't hold my tongue (or fingers) and have to post something. Yes I know some ladies still appear to get AF when pregnant, and everybody knows somebody's brother's cousin's SIL who it happenned to, but mostly it means you are NOT pregnant - feel down/upset/angry, but come on; false hope isn't good for anyone! I upset some very young ones when I pointed out some very comprehensive research that it is in the baby's & mother's best interests to wait 9 months before TTC your next baby!

I've bookmarked my User CP - so it takes me straight to a list of the threads I've posted in that have new posts, which is quite handy for finding us!

Well I took my soy a day later this cycle, which I think may be pushing back my OV, as my CBFM is still on low on CD9 - whereas it was high at this time the past 2 cycles - which kind of stuffs my BDing plans - was hoping to avoid 4 days in a row, as don't know if DH could manage that, I want to BD on both my peaks and the next day, and every other day before that, but knowing my luck, the EOD BD will be the night before the 1st peak - oh well, no rest for the wicked. Luckily we have a long weekend here with no plans (other than an engagement party at a lawn bowls club), so we'll see what happens!

Ella - if you jog on the spot for a few minutes you'll burn off that glass of wuine in no time - I was supposed to go to the gym this morning, but haven't gotten around to it yet, so will go this arvo so I cn pick DH up from work afterwards. (I'm a teacher and we're still on our summer holidays for another week and a bit)

 

[Lisa1]

Lol I know what you mean about some if the posts leilani! My journal is (at last I'm allowed) no idea how to add it but you can find it in ttc journals.

I'm gonna wait till Monday before I poas again! Lesson learnt! My cramps are now a stitch in my side and I am trying hard to remember how I usually feel a couple of days till af arrives.

Anyway it's next Monday so fx girls and pma all the way! I want us in first tri within the next 6 months or sooner babydust to my 35+ bug grown up mummys to be xx

Hello Ladies

Hope you don't mind be joining you in here. I am 35 next month, for me it has been an issue of finding my Mr Right. We meet 2 years ago got married in August and have just started ttc. All very quick but it all feels right!!!

Expecting a bumpy ride to a BFP. I have irregular cycles anything between 4 and 8 weeks with 6 about average and DH works away mid week.

So far I am resisting the urge to do anything other than listening to my own body, I think I O'd last mid week so I am convinced this month is out of the question for us. Roll on AF so we can get to next cycle.

Welcome Tommyg
Some of us have had issues in finding Mr Right too and therefore had to put trying for a family on hold. Now we all have our Mr Right we are hoping we haven't run out of eggs!
Here's hoping your ttc journey isn't a long one.

Good morning my life savers

Is it just me or does the advert at the top of the page for maternity clothing make you wish you were in a position to shop for it. I can't wait to have a bump.

Kind of wish I had a bump now as the thought of getting into a bikini next week fills me with dread. I worked out so much last year and had two personal training sessions a week on the run up to our wedding. Since August I've only done the odd workout at home. Usually yoga or pilates. Certainly not the effort I was putting in last year so now I feel like my body needs to be covered in winter layers at all times.

I wonder if I work out tonight, tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday if it'll make any difference. Or I could just get a spray tan
