TTC 1st child 35+ (Please spoiler any PG news/announcements).

[purplelou]

Happy Friday ladies! it's almost the weekend
I am just about to start work, so will write more later but just wanted to say quickly ...


omg - Missy - your pups are sooo cute. I just about melted inside when I saw your waterbaby!!

and HA - go embies, go embies

oh and Dwrgi - congratulations on your new ownership of the thread!! as missy said - it must be a sign. youll be getting your bfp soon!!

 

[Asryellah]

We really do need another BFP on here to keep us going and Butterfly company....any volunteers.... ?

me me me!! I'll volunteer!!!

oh LilSluz sorry forgot to say yesterday that sorry for BFN but the wicked witch isn't there is she?

 

[Dwrgi]

HA-OMG, that is just wonderful news, I am so delighted for you. I always feel that IVF is like a variety of different stages. Stage One-the meds, and how many follies will develop. Stage 2-getting through EC and hopefully achieving as many mature eggs as possible. Stage 3-overnight fertilization post EC. Stage 4-embryo development, and so on. To me, your cycle sounds as if it is going like a text book scenario, and I just have a feeling that, as JT brought me EWCM, Marvin Gaye will bring you a BFP!!! I am keeping everything crossed that they continue to develop and you get a couple of healthy strong embies to put back. In the UK, the limit is two for those under 40 and for those over 40, they can have three put back. Anyway, I'm rooting for you hun!!

MIssy-your pugs are just the cutest. Gwydion is my velcro dog and follows me everywhere! I love the sunbathing dog and the swimming dog! What would we do without our furbabies, as we just have so much love to give?? Thanks for info on ph levels! I have to really look at my diet as I've just had bran flakes with (lactose free) milk, and have now succumbed to a weak moment and had a coffee and a doughnut!!! Aaarghhhhhh! However, I did make a vegetable stew last night and had it with cous cous, a dish that I love! xx

Purple-hello hun, any plans for the weekend??

Asry-what's the temperature with you now? Hopefully a bit warmer than -22!! I hope you get your BFP this month too!!

Twinkle-thanks for the info re. ownership!! OMG, what does it meeeeeeeean, exactly?! Do I have to do something???? Anyway, thank you for sorting that out!

Hello to Dashka, manuiti, FM, Luv, Lilsluz, NS, Never, Butterfly, Lady H, PennyB, and everybody else on here! I hope you have a great weekend!

P.S. Lil-thankfully, the spots, so far, are confined to my back, although they have miraculously improved since taking ionised DHEA. However, started norecan'tspelltheword today, and the dreaded testogel tonight, so I'm sure I will end up looking like a join the dots board before long. Sigh....

Love to you all, and let's bring on the !!

[twinkle1975]

Ok - so just checked and you edit the title by pressing the edit button on the first post & then clicking on Go Advanced - there's a box with the thread title in it - you might want to add something to the first post saying you've taken over as at the moment it looks like you posted then & not ages afterwards!!

Missy – I just briefly read about Evening Primrose Oil for fertile CM, PMS, acne, hormonal issues, etc, do you or anyone else take it? Supp’d to take it from AF to Ov but that’s it b/c can cause uterine contractions I guess. I’ll be getting that, pH test & gf juice today… (told you I'm taking Notes!)

Dwrgi – Our NEW Thread Queen – Thank you!!!! You’ll do just fine & I agree, it prob means you’ll get a BFP!

:wave: to everyone else in my "BNB family"!

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LilSluz]

[Lady H]

Hi Dwrgi - in control eh! Put me down as natural please, and I hope control = BFP! We could pass control each time and them we won't need the thread!

 

[twinkle1975]

If you get your BFP this time Dwrgi, we'll be queuing up to take control!

Purple, thanks so much! I just love my pups to peices. Its funny because Smokey (the black one) is such a good swimmer, very fast, but he doesn't really care for the water that much. He actually beat SS is a swim race across the pool! LOL. Bandit (the fawn one) loves the water. He'll just jump right in by himself but he's a fatty so after a bit of swimming he'll start to sink. We put a baby's life vest on him and he'll float. He's smart enough to figure out that it holds him up so he doesn't even bother to paddle. LOL. He just gets all lazy and enjoys the water.

Dwrgi, I completely cut out all sugars starting Jan 1. I did have a couple of cake balls at the superbowl party though. I actually don't crave it anymore. I really do believe your body gets used to it. Actually, eating the royal jelly takes care of my sweet cravings I think.

LilSluz, boo for AF showing. Yes, I've heard of EPO and what you listed as the benefits. I was taking it but that was when I was under the care of the RE and was told not to take any supplements except pre-natal vits. Thanks for reminding me, I think I'll start taking it again.

AFM, acup today and I'll probably go to the store soon to get my weekly groceries. I made organic jambalaya yesterday with homeade sausage that my dad and brother made. I officially succeeded in growing my first crop of wheatgrass. It looks beautiful and is just about ready for juicing!

 

[LilSluz]

I updated signature - thanks Dwrgi!

 

[LilSluz]

Missy - you are very welcome!

Btw, what part of MD you from? I was born in raised in Glen Burnie, "Hun"! 21 years til I moved down to Ft. Lauderdale, but entire family up there & i come up couple times year & every other xmas...

 

[Dwrgi]

Sorry girls, I've just snapped after yet another image of a pregnant woman has been thrust into my face-this time, the Boden homepage (yes, I do work, but today is an easy day of lessons, in case you were wondering!!). This time, I have compained, which I've copied below. Don't care if they think I'm a bitter old hag, as long as it makes them think.

I have just logged on to look at the latest catalogue. How dismaying it is to find the homepage dominated by a picture of a pregnant woman, smiling at her pregnant belly. You may think that this is an unusual complaint; however, my partner and I fall into the growing statistic of the one couple in seven who have trouble conceiving-I have been trying to conceive since 2007. To be constantly confronted with images of pregnancy and babies strikes at my very heart. The media exploit pregnancy as a symbol of joy & hope; for me and the other thousands of couples in the UK who struggle to achieve this seemingly impossible dream, it is simply a heartbreaking reminder of our failure. Boden isn't sepcifically a Maternity catalogue; I can CHOOSE to avoid the Maternity collection. However, I cannot avoid the homepage and the image you choose for it. For that I am very disappointed and would request that you reconsider your chosen image, as a matter of sensitivity.

 

[Butterfly67]

hello ladies, well dwrgi, thread queen, if you want something from me then how about: Natural BFP at age 44 after 10 months trying with ex.

Hope that is ok

I've not heard of Boden but your letter sounds perfect

HA very excited about your embies

Missy, loving your dogs

Lilsluz sorry about the

Carole did you get your dog back and hope you have a good time tonight

Hello to everyone else

 

[Lady H]

I've just realised this thread was started on my birthday last year. My goal is to be pregnant by my 40th Birthday in June so I am taking it as a sign!

 

[manuiti]

Ok, so now 17dpo & FINALLY made it here! What, did she stop at the pub for a on the way or something?

Sorry the got you hun. At least you know where you're at now.

Hi lovely ladies, here's our latest list!

A few people are missing though: Never, Luv, FM, Asry, Manuiti, PennyB, Heavenly, NS, Dr Squid, and loads of others. Please post your details so that I can add them here, and we all know where we're at.

I suppose I'd be something like natural TTC, doing tests, really high FSH, waiting to see FS.

We put a baby's life vest on him and he'll float. He's smart enough to figure out that it holds him up so he doesn't even bother to paddle. LOL. He just gets all lazy and enjoys the water.

Oh that made me laugh - what a cool dog!!!
