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

[padbrat]

Yay Moon for shopping... I still have not dared lol

DWRGI!! YAY hello chick... put the link in so I can stalk!! xxx

Angel it is terrible the things that remind us of our losses... lots of healing and gentleness to you.

DrH! Go Hubby Sperm! Wow, awesome results... although careful of shagging every day as the spermies need to regenerate. The last thing you need is a dodgy sperm doing the business...

Hey Chicken and Nee! xx

 

[padbrat]

Welcome Green!!

 

[dashka]

Hi ladies - pretty busy today and sick still as a dog.... so just a quickie from me...

AngelsM - you vent all you need to... we are here.... Life is so not fair ...Sending you giant

Pebble - Buffalo.... hmm.... I come down to shop a few times a year! My mom acted that way for years and years (nagging about TTC) and that was while we were TTC -saying we just weren't 'doing it enough' and that she 'never had a problem' so she didn't understand why we were having a problem..... Things have changed though since we told her about 5 years ago that we were adopting (and plus my sis had same challenges) You just need to tell them to stay out of it and how much it hurts you when they do that...

Kismet - GL on the job!!

Dr. H - yay on the super sperm!!! Ignore the 'hurry ups' from the friends.... I was always really open with people (although probably not the best thing) and used to always say we were trying and when God was ready for us to have we would - that always shut them up Although I didn't feel great afterwards....

Greenleaf - welcome to the best thread!!

Dwrgi - yay re: journal!!! please show us the link!

Lils - where are you - are you back from Fright Nights???

Purps - need to check your journal - hope you are okay

Hugs and loves to everyone!!!!

AFM - still sick - now it's my sinuses - just lots of yellow mucous coming out now (TMI) and one nostril only - nice..... Snot fairy - I've had enough now... Am taking a Claritin as I'm wondering if the cold didn't move into allergies just like it did in the Spring.... The leaves are falling and mold is growing on them so I know I'm allergic to mold... Anyway also sprained/pulled something going down the stairs in the dark this morning - oh this day is not going well..... More in my journal - but I am praying for AF to come.

 

[dashka]

Pad - love the ticker!

 

[nessaw]

A cartoon for Dash:

Love the ticker too Pad! If I can suggest a really really good book that you will enjoy reading throughout your pregnancy. It's called Pregnancy Day By Day. It's a Canadian Edition so I don't know if you will have access to it from where you live. But it is AMAZING and bang on with everything. Thinking PINK too! Sooooo happy for you!

 

[purplelou]

Dwrgi...found your journal and am stalking

Angel.. Hun I am. So sorry you are feeling so sad! I think you should do whatever helps. You lost your little girl so recently...its still such a new loss. Thinking of you xx Huge to you chick xxxxx

Afm...sorry I've been MIA...although I am now off work...there seems to be lots to do! I've had little appointments etc for most days, and then feel tired the rest of the time. Yes today dh was off work and we went to see a film...Looper, with Bruce willis. It was quite good, if you are a sci fi fan! The little boy in it is a great actor!! Today neversaynever is coming round so I can have another munch of little Louis!

 

[drhouse]

hugs to all the lovelies who just plain want a bump and to the lovelies with recent challenges, pebble/gkprn and angels mommie. am thinking of you.

will write more tomorrow after egg shrivels and temp rises and an immaculate conception occurs or I am feeling more positive? Does a shag yesterday count?

 

[La Bergere]

Hello ladies!
I'm a newbie to the site, but I've been lurking for a few months! (It took me a month to work out what all of the acronyms meant!)

I'm Laura, 35 years old. I'm on cycle 5 of ttc #1.
AF graced me with her presence today at 14dpo, so this month I am going to start charting bbt.
So this is just a post to say hello and I'm vigorously sprinkling baby dust (whilst pouring virtual gin & tonics) all round!

 

[purplelou]

DrH ...yes, a shag yesterday absolutely does count!! When is dh back, cos if you could do the same tomorrow, that would be great!

Hi la bergere and welcome! hope your stay here's short and sweet! The ladies here definitely like a glass of during af, so you are most welcome with your G & Ts

 

[padbrat]

aww ta Dash and Nee re: Ticker... was quite a step for me I can tell ya after my big falling out with the Ticker at 7 wks lol

Sorry you are feeling crap Dash... I have had the blocked up nose thing for weeks now... Hubby reckons he is sleeping with Darth Vader at the mo from the way I sound at night!

Hey Purps... you are meant to be taking it easy now you know??? Good to hear that Looper is worth a watch... might drag Hubby to cinema at weekend!

DrH yes... shag yesterday counts... in fact shags 3 days from OV can count! Although I believe spermies are meant to last up to 5 days.. feel odd saying this to a Dr!! LOL

Welcome La!

Lils... hope you are having a great time!!!

and pah to families... they can be a royal PITA!

 

[purplelou]

Pad I am taking it easy, but there's only so much sitting round you can do

 

[padbrat]

OK Purps.. how about if you sit down in combo with something else? Then will you do more of it?

I am thinking... sit down... and drink cup of tea... maybe dunk biscuit too if feeling energetic???

Or sit down and watch TV... have a doughnut at the same time... only if feeling energetic though...

you get the drift? Apply above sentences in combo with reading book/mag... sleeping... thinking about any form of action etc etc hahahhahaha

 

[purplelou]

Pad I love your way of thinking!!

 

[padbrat]

Ahhh yea... it is a talent! Mwahahaa!!

 

[dashka]

Kismet – thanks for the cartoon!

Nessaw - oh hope you are not getting sick

Purps – If I watched scary horror films while preggers – I would definitely go into labour! –hmmm maybe that is your intention? I also saw Looper last week – thought it was really good (violent – but good!) and I agree the child actor is awesome!

Dr H – yes shag yesterday counts! You may not ovulate until tomorrow even though you have the most EWCM – just watch your temps

La Bergere – welcome!

Pad – oh Darth Vader eh? Hope that gets better soon…

AFM - still have sinus crap coming out.... went to doctor and they think I have a partial tear in foot ligament -so walking and climbing stairs is a chore (and driving)... Taking Tylenol, icing , elevating etc.... But still came to work.... Shot today was better though. AF is still not here and I need her to get here fast!!! Am I a problem child or what

Hugs and loves to all!

 

[nessaw]

welcome le bergere.

dash-have had hideous sinus headache for last two days.coupled with being observed in school today makes for one tired girl heading to bedcpretty soon!

pads and purps-am presently combining chocolate eating and watching tv-love multitasking!

love to all x

 

[owl35]

lovely ladies!

I've taken a little break from the ttc boards lately and I might go right back into lurking mode after this. I hope everybody is doing well!
Welcome to the ones who have recently joined. I hope your stay is short and sweet
And I'm still thinking pink for pad and for everybody else who got a bfp lately - I apologize for not being up to date on anything.

I've decided to go for my last round of IUI even though I was convinced I couldn't handle another one. But when I started this I was determined to try 4 times before moving onto IVF so not going for the last one would just always make me wonder "if maybe the last one would have worked". And I don't like "what if" feelings.

I saw the movie "Argo" on the weekend and I loved it. Even though I knew the ending I was on the edge of my seat the last 30 min of the the movie. Great stuff.

I'm glad I'm back to my occasional every now and then. It's so much better for my well being and my mood

I hope everybody is having a great week!

 

[purplelou]

Owl..good luck with the Iui! When will you do it? I'll keep everything crossed for you chick xx
