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

[Lady H]

I never thought I would get married let alone have kids. I've prepared myself to live a single life until my miracle man fell out of the sky and landed on my doorstep. LOL! Now we are happily married and desperately trying to conceive. I'm 39 and he is 10 years my senior... eeks! I have removed an ovarian cyst on the right ovary (hemorrhagic endometriosis) and still have another one on the left side.

Do we still have a chance?

Hi, I'm 40 and DH is 54. It took us 16 months but we got what we wanted naturally. You have every chance. Good luck! Xx

:wave: everyone. I'm reading every day but too tired and befuddled to post something to each of you. Big though, you are my life support

I don't post much on here - we're unable to try every month - but I generally lurk.

To answer your question; yes.

My DH is unable to produce sperm, but we still have a chance. A VERY slim one thanks to the wonders of science.

There are many of us on here due to one thing or another who can't conceive naturally - as much as we'd all love to - but it's a case of making plans and to keep moving forward. No-one tells you how much courage and heartache you go through on this journey, but you just keep hoping that it'll be worth it in the end.

P.S. Big and to all... extra BIG to the lovely Pad, I'm still hoping really hard for both of you, hun xx

[Greenleaf]

Thanks for the vote of confidence everyone! Luv ya'll!

Greenleaf – yes yes –you still have a chance and hope – you haven’t been trying for long right? Are you really in Malaysia??? So cool! Good luck!

Yes I'm really in Malaysia. Look me up if you happen to be at this side of the planet I haven't been trying for long. Only been 4 months but it's like forever! And mom's been nagging too. Thank GOD there's no MIL but there are tons of sister-in-laws! Pressure pressure. *gulp*

Pebble - Yay on the HSG!!! so glad for you! and for finishing the cleanse!!! awesome!!! That's funny you come here for Ikea! They don't have one there? I thought they were everywhere? I've never been to a Trader Joe's.... I'll have to look that up!

Purps - you are soooo close! just checked your journal - glad you slept better last night.... you are making things to comfy for Purplette???

Dwrgi - going to check your kick-ass journal right now....

Chicken, Lady H, Mirum, Owl, BF, Dr.H, Moon, Asry, Fro, and everyone I missed (sorry I am having a brain fart right now) - big hello and hugs

AFM - went to English Beat concert Friday night - was good but the band came on at 10:30 - for an old fogie like me I was beat already -then when I music started (we didn't like the opening band) - we sat for the first while (DH was so sweet as he didn't want me to make my foot worse) - I insisted we go to the lower level and dance (it was no seating -dance/standing room only -club type concert) - and I couldn't help but dance for about an hour (well if you can call it that! more like swaying around! Was pretty sore yesterday -all my joints... but better today.
Started my first STIMS injection this morning - OMG I was a bit stressed re: preparing the two medicines -mixing them to be injected -more than the injection itself ... (more in journal)

 

[padbrat]

woo hooo!!!!

 

[padbrat]

Hey DrH... I had this reading on my wedding day ... even makes me emotional now and I wouldn't say I was the most devoted person.. but it speaks to me.

Ruth 1:16-17
But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.

"Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus may the LORD do to me, and worse, if anything but death parts you and me."

 

[dashka]

Pad -

Spoiler

HAPPY 12 WEEKS HUN!!!! YIPPEEEEE!!!! I am praying tomorrow goes well!!!

Dr H - good luck with the wedding plans! we've been married almost 13 yrs - so I'm a bit rusty with the wedding suggestions! I think one of our church readings was the one that starts off... "Love is.... Love is.... Love is......"etc... Is that what you meant by readings?

 

[drhouse]

we thought the celebrant might say...

Please face each other and join hands.
These are the hands of your best friend, strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever.
These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future.
These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other.
These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief fills your mind.
These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow, and tears of joy.
These are the hands that will help you to hold your family as one.
These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.
And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.

Pad you are second tri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so, I am still having those awful cramps every few hrs. My sister told me that she had those pains too and said someone told her those pains mean it's probably a boy. Anyone ever heard this? especially just a few days after egg transfer?
