TTC after loss - over 40 - any takers? Our lucky thread - 9 rainbows and 1 BFP

[Oasis717]

Jo thank you I'm actually really proud of myself for loosing it and my strength has just gone up and up over the weeks, I pass people struggling to get up the hills round here and I glide past with the buggy and shopping, I can walk so fast up the hills now and honestly when I started I was ashamed as I struggled to get just myself up! Would love to see your tattoo when its done, I've got quite a large one at the bottom of my back, its a choker necklace around a bow, I'll have to post a pic xxxxx
Regina its good having something else to focus on and you get healthier and look better too! I'd like to loose another stone after this 4 lbs making 3 and taking me back to a 12 xxx
Lisa dh has always had a very high sex drive! It came in handy when TTC lol but its hard to maintain that level these days with a baby! Brooklyn is like that with Casey, he thinks he's absolutely hilarious, i love hearing him laugh xxxxx

Ugh...in the first hour of my 3 hour glucose test and I am SO SO SO nauseated! I can't do anything about it, but hope the time goes by really fast. Ugh...this test is so bad.

 

[Oasis717]

I had that sparkle! Not nice if you feel sick, will all be over soon xxx

 

[crysshae]

Becks - You've done such a great job at losing weight and building strength.

Jenn - Why are you taking the glucose test so early?

 

[Sparkle125]

Crystal--I took the 1 hour early because I am over weight. I barely failed, but I did fail, so I had to take the 3 hour. Yuck.

 

[crysshae]

Oh. Those tests are terrible. I had to do the 3-hour when pregnant with the twins. Two placentas were giving my blood sugar heck.

 

[Oasis717]

Yes I had the 3 hour test def not nice having AF like cramps all day today, a bit early at 5 dpo, if I have a 13 day lp again its still 9 days til AF so a bit early, god this waiting is a killer lol xxx

 

[crysshae]

I had cramps at 5 and 6 dpo with this one and backache 5-8 dpo. Hopefully that's a good sign for you.

 

[Oasis717]

Ooooo I've had lower back pain all day too, I must not get excited lol xxx

 

[josie1234]

Regina - have you not had your results yet? Seems to be taking ages. Thanks Regina for the positive vibes. Yes I will send pictures of the tattoo. I can't wait. I have been fed up of putting my life on hold ttc, putting things off.

Yes time is not in our favour, we get so impatient because we are getting older. Goes so slow, waiting.

Lisa - that is a lovely thought, a soul waiting and always around to rejoin us. Caitlin sounds so cute. Bless her.

Becks - you should be proud hun, you have worked hard and losing the weight is an amazing achievement. Yes will defo put pics of tattoo on here, hope I have the balls to get it all done and not bottle it, lol. Yes look forward to seeing a pic of yours. So cute, Brooklyn with Casey. I hope the cramps are a promising sign, FX'd.

Sparkle - hope you are feeling better soon. xx

Jenn hope test is negative for you, I've had gestational diabetes in all 4 of my pregnancies. There is a plus point though, it forces you to eat healthy and hardly put on any weight during the pregnancy.

Jo, just read your post about the spider, you sound like my sister. She gags if you even talk about spiders!

Me, I'm the opposite, I'm not keen but I won't kill them. Got a big one out the other day and came up to bed tonight and there was a huge one on the floor of the spare bedroom, we have beige carpet so they're really easy to see.

It was so big you could have put a saddle on it!

Bit early for the big ones, they usually come in September.

Anyway, got it in a glass and threw it outside.

Becks, fingers crossed for you xx

 

[josie1234]

I think its just the fact that I couldn't see where it went and the fact that it was on me, freaked me out. I have got spiders in a glass and thrown them out, its just when they are big ones and don't fit in the glass lol. I didn't like not knowing where it was.

 

[josie1234]

You are brave though Lisa.

 

[Left wonderin]

I HATE spiders !!! Uck they freak me out ! I would have had a heart attack and died if it had been on my tee shirt !!!!! Uck ...........so irrational but I phsically feel nauceous when I see one , but don't like to kill them so make oh rehome them in our shead

Well typical my pp cycles have decided to go back to " my normal " this cycle 3rd since birth and I got my Opk + today with Ewcm ........ If only it had misbehaved and stayed a bit later and not regularised like most people I may have had my test results back !!!! Damm ..... Oh came in a found Opk tests on the windowing the loo ( I was comparing yesterday's to today's ) he looked at me with that look !!! Thought they were pregnancy tests lol........ I told him it would have had to have been divine intervention !! Here is my tests just for the Craic

 

[crysshae]

I hope it's a positive sign for you Becks!

I hate spiders!!! They give me the willies.

Ahhh Regina. At least that means you'll be ready next month.

Lisa - I guess that would be the upside to GD.

Jo - Your tattoo sounds great. I have one I want to cover because it wasn't done the way I wanted it. Maybe next year.

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Crystal I need a cover too for one on my back at the top, its v faded now as had it at 18, dh is having a full sleeve done ATM, he went yest and had 4 hours, looking awesome, I love tattoos, if theyre done well! Xxx

 

[josie1234]

Morning. Love to see some pics of tattoos. Today I am going to be a step - nanna. Step daughter - in law getting induced. Having a little girl

 

[Left wonderin]

Awh Jo how exciting a little granddaughter for you to spoil . Do they live near by ??
Me ne oh had another talk about ttc , he is worried about having 2 under 2 as he will be home with them when I return to work . He works as an agility instructor at night so makes senses instead of Childcare . Its a fair concern I suppose and told him that no2 might not even happen so stop worrying right now !! We haven't even gotten to the stage of ttc !! Hope he is not having second thoughts and hoping its just a wobble ! It would be so hard not to be on the same page re this as if he really doesn't want to and I really do where does that leave us ???? Mmmmmmmmm in other news I'm off to get my haircut alone minus baby , me time I love it xxxx

Hope everyone has a great day and keep us posted re granddaughters arrival Jo x

 

[Left wonderin]

Becks chart looking good when will you test or are you holding out till AF is late ?

 

[Oasis717]

Jo that's wonderful hope all goes OK! Xxx
Regina I also worry about the fact Brooklyn is still so young mainly will I cope pregnant as I carry him a lot and he's really heavy now! Plus he jumps all over me! I think its natural to worry and hopefully he's just voicing a concern not making a decision xxx
I've been testing since 2 dpo I dunno why cause it gets to now and the stark whites depressing, I'm not feeling it at all again this month, I know its early but every time I've been pregnant I've had symptoms even before the test and as usual I have Nada Spoke to dh about it this morning and we both admitted we still haven't given it our all yet and its been kind of half hearted, there's always so much going on and were usually just too tired to step it up, I'm gunna take the advice of the other post I read where the lady got pregnant first month by bd like crazy as soon as the opk went positive, we've been concentrating to much on the run up to o from when I get my green boxes when I think we should be concentrating all our efforts after the pos opk, worth a try! Xxx
