Hello all!
Outside of college forums, I'm a ttc forum virgin! A short introduction: I am 39 years young, mother of 3 teenaged daughters, one of which turned 18 on the 16th! I've been divorced twice, but as the saying goes, "third time's a charm". I've been married for four years to a wonderful man 7 years my junior, who has no children, but has of course love for my daughters but wants kids of his own. I decided not to deprive him of that so, this is our 1st cycle ttc! Yes I was apprehensive at first, but slowly warmed to the idea of having at least one more for us as a couple. How do my teenage daughters feel about it? I'm sure they have their own internal worries, but all in all, they are pretty excited about the thought of having another, younger sibling. So, currently I am on cd 27 and the past week has been a bit tortuous, to say the least. When I conceived my girls it seemed almost effortless, but it's been 14 years since my youngest was born and feel very much so, out of my element! Researching until my head spins, temping myself into a fever
, observing cm until it all starts looking the same! Lol. I've tested uncontrollably early this month, and as I suspected, this rusty bod, yielded -'s! I did test early, wishful thinking I suppose, but it didn't upset me or break my spirit so it's ok. As my cycle stands now, af should arrive tomorrow if our efforts were unsuccessful. I will post again tomorrow with any updates-
Wishing much successful to all of you ttc!

Can't believe it really. Its been 2 years since we lost our son and despite pregnancies no little one at home. I think I was dreading 42 because of what it means statistically. I'm just hoping that it won't make much difference. Hopefully the clinic appointment will rev up my positivity.
chart in siggy again 
so yes I am interested to see what your FS says and does - good luck hun 
and i know exactly what you mean about looking forward to putting stuff in it's new place! Th house we're going to is a little bigger and mentally i'm sorting everything out for the better 
Lol, Misty - yes I am - just been snowed under. Things are going really well with K, though I don't get much time to myself these days, not that I'm complaining - she's a fab little girl and lots of fun. Bit annoyed that I had to return to work, but we can't live on fresh air alone - Also been trying to sort the financial stuff out with Social Services - K's social worker left very suddenly without a word and so I had to re-write a lot of stuff in order to explain everything to her new SW. He came to visit today and we got some good news - they are going to reimburse the money it cost to adapt our home as a one off payment - it's been a struggle getting that but they were morally wrong and not working within their own remits so it had to be fought, otherwise they will just continue to take advantage of people. At least we can get back on the level ground we worked so hard to get on last year - I suppose it's better late than never.
