Hey Karen! Just read your blogs, interesting one about us oldie moms!

I I was really offended! A friend emailed me a link to the article in the Sun and said, look you are in a growing demographic! she seems to think it's Funny to call me a parensioner.

They're probably just jealous!

Lol. Age is just a number. Still feel 25 (i wish)

Age is nothing these days, it is just a number, doesn't mean you are biologically that age, loads of other factors come into play too, esp your lifestyle.
I don't feel any older then i did 11 years ago to be honest , in my last pregnancy.
Good luck with your new blog Creative.
Josie - once you get in the habit of exercising its hard to quit, I would have loved to have become a fitness instructor, years ago that is, but when I looked into it it was all about aerobics etc, I prefer weights, yoga and pilates!
I cant get on here much during the week now I am back at work, by the time I get in and sort teas and tidy up I need to go to sleep!

 

[josie1234]

Crazy - its a shame you didnt get the chance to do it. I like doing weights nothing heavy though. I love circuits. Yoga and pilates is too controlled for me. I like jumping about lol. Hope you all have a good day today xx

Having a bit of a wobbly. This morning I woke up to be an olive. My last little one spread their wings as an olive. I want to be a prune.......

Creative - BIG your little one is fine tomorrow you will be an olive +1 day, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5, then 6, then you will be a prune take it one step at a time

Yaaahhhhhhh I'm having a prune!

 

[josie1234]

Creative - bet it is nice seeing mw today. Yay at prune!

AFM - temp went up a bit but BFN. Not sure if OV is correct on FF so we ll see what happens over next couple of days. Whatever happens at least cycle is longer than last month.

Creative - you're a prune you're a prune - one day at a time and yes North Hull is a very strange mix at the best of times

I'm lucky I don't have grey hair - but I think a wrinkle fairy comes in the night and etches another one

Josie - Great news about your temps and even better having a longer cycle and Josie I got worn out just reading your blog - although shame you don't live nearer you could help me get this sorry ass in shape for my holidays

AFM - 4DPO the only way for FF to change it's mind is to put in lower temps and I don't want that

Love to all the other ladies

:

I have a very short razored style (grade 3) and the grey looks really cool when it's just cut, but looks a bit Millibandy / badgerlike if it gets longer. I think once baby comes I may dye it so people don;t think I am granny!

Garfie looks like we are cycle buddies I o/v 2 days early by FF ? Still not sure I believe her lol.... Guess time will tell . And it is so tempting to create the perfect looking chart that fits in with your timing lol.... I have to resist the urge but know it won't change the outcome lol..

 

[crazymam]

Is it just me or are the weeks flying?
Is it just 3 now waiting for BFP now?
I think another one is about due isn't it?
Hope everyone is ok.
AFM My energy is coming back yippee!!! still tired in the evening and still get out of breath very easily, especially when climbing the stairs at work. sicken ss is staying away until about 2pm now, so seems to be easing off and I am started to fancy food again not just forcing myself to eat.
Been doing my pregnancy exercise dvd for two weeks now and feeling good, new one for pilates in pregnancy came today and cant wait to try it
Its broken into ten minute sections too so I don't have to do it all in one go either.
I haven't put any more weight on since 8 weeks though although my boobs are bigger and my bump is growing, think maybe its because I went back to work and started exercising again perhaps. nearly 12 weeks so another milestone almost reached
Lisa- think you asked my age for the first post, its 43, I don't really like reminding though

Well I ended up calling the midwife this morning cause last night and this morning I had some pressure feelings which lasted ages, it was a bit different from anything I've felt yet and I was just a bit worried, she said it was normal but to pop in and hear the heartbeat and let her have a feel if I was worried, which of course I did, this time as soon as the probe went onto my skin baby's heartbeat was as clear as day, and in her words, perfect she also had a feel and I am where I should be for my weeks too, she said she thinks the baby was pressing on something, perhaps a nerve, but that everything is just fine, really glad I went, it's awful that anything out the norm has us worrying! Xxxxxx love to all xxxxxx

Hi all,

Ladies if you think FF has wrong dates you can overide it manually.

Jo, I think you OV a couple of days after FF says due to when you received your positive OPK.

Your cycle can vary each month but it is only the OV date that changes your LP will always stay the same, unless you are actively doing something to try and prolong it.

Jo your hpt might be negative as you are maybe a couple of days behind what you think. I'll keep checking your chart and see what happens .

Becks scary stuff happens when you are PAL. So reassuring though to see midwife and hear HB

Crazy glad you are keeping well, I will edit first page

Fiona and Regina I am just about to look at your charts and will report back!

Karen I have long brown hair which I dye a lighter colour, haven't done in ages so bits of grey are poking through

 

[dancareoi]

Regina I think yours is about right but Fiona there is a possibility you OV 3 days earlier than Ff says!

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Lisa, I have my brown hair highlighted as its a really boring brown, no grey as yet, my nan was still half her own hair colour at 87! And my mum was 60 before she got a smattering of grey so hopefully the same is happening with me, I worry about wrinkles! Haven't got any yet but I worry about getting them lol, especially when dh is 25! Hopefully they'll stay away as well as the grey xxxxx

Hello everyone Becks exciting that you got to hear your little one )
Me I have to dye my hair or I would be like a badger . Hairdressers told me I'm 60% grey !!! Both my granny and mum are pure white . I'm way to young for that lol....
