TTC #1 at 35+

[Hope4BFP]

Hi all, sorry I am a bit stupid and also very confused. I made a ticker on Lilypie, last cycle started 13th Jan, due Wednesday I thought on a 28 day cycle? Why is Lilypie telling me its day 28 today, its not I counted its tomorrow? I am confused, did Lilypie work out the dates wrong? I have changed it to a 29 day cycle just so its correct.

During a 28 day cycle, AF should always come same day of week?

I think it is set to a different time zone or something as up until lunch time it said I was Oving in 4 days, now its saying 3 (4 is correct!)... Not sure how to fix it, I'll have a look later

Hi girlies!

Belated Happy Birthday wishes to Lisa and Mazcal

Keeping my fingers crossed for those of you approaching that time of the month- hope to see some BFP's this month.

Not much to report from me - hope4BFP - I am CD9 so boring really! Me and hubby have had a cosy w/end in with log fires, good food and a bit of booze (not too much though!!) Quite a few sexy times too! Just hope he doesn't peak too soon!!

Confession time for me now......

I do worry (alot) that I am so used to it being just me and hubby and we are probably quite selfish really. Doing what we want when we want. I worry that if we are lucky enough to have a baby, will it be a nightmare???!! Will we think 'What have we done'? I also worry that because I am older, I will be really knackered all the time. Does anyone else have these fears?

Lilypie is American - I think. eTicker is too, and hqven't found a way to change the time zone, some others tickers have that ability though.

Thanks Leilani! Any news hun? Fx'd

Hey lou lou

You are not alone in thinking this. I worry too but just try not to think too hard on it.

My brother and my sis-in-law were married 12 years before my nephew arrived 4 years ago (ok, they married when they were 21 and 19 respectively) but they had a fantastic life before the kids - my bro was in the army and they literally travelled the world - even had 2 years in Brunei - but they haven't stopped having a life since the kids. They still do the things they like but it's just child friendly versions now. They are 3mths pregnant with baby #3 - now that's scary lol.

I guess it's a fear that everyone can understand and it's a natural one - life does change in a big way with kids but, as much as it scares me sometimes, it's one that excites me more. PMA hun....you and your OH will be fantastic parents

Thanks Hope and Leilani, thought I was going mad then, one more day til AF shows her ugly mug then!

zero, I worry all the time that I will be permanently knackered if I have a baby, but I also think surely I have more life experience and wisdom now that is a good thing? It would take some lifestyle changes, we are selfish too, because there is no-one else to think about.

Hi Mazcal

I hope you had a fantastic birthday celebration in London. I love visiting London and everytime think I don't do this enough!

Oh those tricky tickers drive me crazy. My cycle has recently started to fluctuate from 26-29days so I never know what to put and I end up just changing it every month!

My last AF started Jan 17th and if I base it on 26 days I am expecting AF on Thursday but I won't consider that i'm late or test until Sunday.

I've not really had any symptoms this month which is a first since ttc. Not even a twinge in my bbs. Maybe being so poorly in Dubai set me back a bit.

I'm really tired and I've got AF type cramps which have started about 1hr ago. Loads of CM (sorry TMI ) which I think is a bit odd aren't we supposed to dry up before AF?

Oh well must keep up the PMA and I'm sending you loads back together with

Hi Lou Lou

Completely understandable it's terrifying.

When I got back from a recent holiday watching couples bickering around the poolside and the kids being really naughty. I thought OMG what are we doing?? My DH laughed at me and said anyone you ask says it's worth it.

Our friends have a beautiful 9mth baby girl and they aren't getting on at all right now. She hates her post baby body and he can't understand why she doesn't do something about it and go to the gym more! Probably because she's looking after a baby and juggling going back to work, moving into a new house, decorating and making sure his tea is on the table when he gets in from work!
ARGGHHH

Rant over. I did say my hormones were a nightmare this month.

I still want a little xxx

 

[zero7]

Thanks ladies. I guess most of us have some worries one way or another. xx

 

[mazcal]

Hi Beanhopes, thanks. I have had alot of cm too in what was a dry time last month, but I have only one real month to compare it with, so for me it may not mean much. I have been crampy and today bbs feel bigger and sensitive(which is cool no matter what the reason). I hope if arrives, I can be a bit more chilled out about it all in the coming months..

Or maybe we will get our bfp this week and start a run of them here, that would be great!

I do love going to London, I grew up there, I have managed to get over the fact that my sister who is a year younger than me has two gorgeous kids, it wasn't easy at first, she told me she was preg when I was still waiting to try. Now I love going to see them.

Anyway, I moved to Poole 3 yrs ago to be with OH, and living by the sea in the winter is funny, ghost town!

Hope you get your bfp this week!

[Beanhopes]

Thanks Maria I am starting to get cramp from having everything crossed for all of us.

For the past two nights I've not been able to sleep past 4am. I've had to get up and visit the bathroom which is really annoying and not something I usually have to do. When I go back to bed and try to get comfortable it's impossible. Had a nightmare last night too, I was on holiday with Katie Price and there were some very strange details in the dream. She had a built in, heated fury foot muff in her car for when she's travelling and I had gone to Spain with her but hadn't taken a single bit of luggage or makeup. My hotel room was bright yellow with yellow curtains and yellow bedding. It made no sense whatsoever!

I mentioned to my DH this morning I was just going to put some towels into the washing machine as they could go straight in the "dishwasher" after to dry!

I actually feel like I'm going a bit insane.

 

[Beanhopes]

Leilani how's it going on knicker watch?? I hope that has stayed well away from you.

[mazcal]

Sorry Beanie, I am the same! I dreamed the other night that I had landed on a strange planet and proceded to kill all the inocent aliens there, am having very freaky dreams lately. Except I am sleeping all night and going loo all day.
I think your dream was much more horrific, having to go on hols with Katie Price!!

I could sum up myself off the pill thus

I am sure it will all be worth it, if I eventually get preg!

I feel it is a pipe dream, and am so hoping no AF tomorrow.

Here is some for all of us, and may disappear for, oh at least 9 months!

Sorry to hear that Leilani.

Oh no Leilani that is just crappy.
I'm just tucking into a Galaxy Cookie Crumble chocolate bar and that is a sure sign AF is on her way.
We'll get our 's soon I can feel it.

Hey Maria

Murdering innocent aliens hey! I sometimes feel like I'm on planet Katie Price with the amount of press and tv coverage she gets!

Can't wait to go to bed and see what I dream tonight.

Ooh going to the loo lots during the day has to be a good sign.

Stay away wicked . Where are the flying houses from the Wizard of Oz when you need one?

Keep us posted.

Now you've made it extra crappy - Galaxy Cookie Crumble!!! Galaxy is my all time favourite chocolate, and you can't buy it in NZ (except in over priced UK-goods stores). I do get it sent over on a fairly regular basis (christmas and birthday), I have one bag of Minstrels that's hidden from DH - not his favourite, but he'll scoff it given the chance.

Oh, sod it, I'm off to pay other the odds for a Ripple. Need to go out and stock up on Soy, EPO, Robitussin and Maca anyway - Don't teach for another 3 hours yet today, so might dither in the shopping mall - I like Weds.

 

[Leilani]

You guys' dreams are enough to give anyone nightmares!

Hope the witch stays away for you Mazcal and Sam, seeing as I've got her down this end of the world - she can't be in both places at once!!

 

[Beanhopes]

Leilani

Galaxy is my all time favourite too. I think it would be better for my hips if it wasn't so easily available in the UK though. Definately, ask for Cookie Crumble and the "new" Galaxy Bubbles in your next birthday parcel.

You are getting all stocked up ready to start your new month. I won't get a chance to try this month as my DH is away for 2 weeks with work so I'll have to keep an eye on everyone else and be full of PMA and

Hope school wasn't too stressful.
