I feel bit crampy and defo moody!! Lol. How is everyone else? Good luck for your appointment, i know it seems ages away but fx'd you get some positive news. Where are you off to?

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi Jo ! That sure I one long cycle you got there !! What way do you feel sick ? I'm off to Portugal for a week . Cheap as I booked it last summer before I went back off maternity leave . Feels like a life time ago now !

Hi all.

Regina, hopefully looking forward to your break will take your mind off your appointment and hopefully make the time go quicker.

Jo, another long one!

Jenn, hope you're keeping well, just over a week now until you have your rainbow

Hey ladies, yes, real quiet on here!

I found this in another thread and thought I would share:
https://getpregnantover40.com/birth-defects-pregnancy-complications-over-40.htm

Title makes you think 'ooooh not another one of those', but it is actually quite positive

 

[crysshae]

Very quiet indeed.

Jo - Hope the moodiness means this cycle is close to an end.

Regina - hope your trip is great and you come back to very positive news from the specialist.

Alien - it's always nice to find positive links like that. Sometimes they seem hard to come by.

Alien thanks for sharing that I'm always on the outlook for positives I have it in my head somehow that its getting pg at 42 or nothing . Need to let that go and be open to the fact it could be 43 / 44 lol... Ill take anything !! Any time . I've got till aprox 50 as I'm. To giving up till I'm out the other side of menapause Hehehehehe

Sorry I've been AWOL ladies but I really just needed to take a step back, well, I got a positive today on a 20miu, I'm 11dpo but absolutely no symptoms, I only took a test cause I always spot except when I'm pregnant and no spotting after bd etc so I took the test. I'm not getting excited after 2 CP's last year and no symptoms (only had no symptoms with my blighted ovum)ut I guess at least my body is still working so there's hope for the future even if I'm not successful this time? How is everyone. I've missed you all xxx

 

[crysshae]

I can't see the line on that test. I hope it gets darker, and this is a sticky one for you.

 

[Oasis717]

Oh dear can you not, I can see it on my tablet, dh doesn't do faint lines but he can see this one well at least before it disappears on me which I'm expecting, thank you thoughxxxxxx

Hi Regina - I know. I meant I am fed up (its just a saying - pig sick lol).

Sounds lovely, I went to Portugal - Albufeira for my best mate's hen do, was fab. Yes I bet it does seem ages ago.

Hi all.

Regina, hopefully looking forward to your break will take your mind off your appointment and hopefully make the time go quicker.

Jo, another long one!

Jenn, hope you're keeping well, just over a week now until you have your rainbow

Hi Lisa - how are you? Yes, definitely a long one, the longest one yet. And I really don't know what is happening with my temps. Had a headache all day today despite taking tablets. Not long now Jenn, so excited for you.

 

[josie1234]

Hi Crystal, not long for you, are you excited? I hope so too but doesn't seem to be ending. What is going on with my temps? If anyone can shed light on this please do. Feeling a bit sick. See what tomorrow brings. Visiting OH on Sat for the day/night as he can't get home as has training day so will go and see him. AF will probably show for then lol.

Alien - good to have an article that doesn't just look at the negatives all the time. Did you see on the news about a 70 year old woman being the oldest mother.

Becks hi you have been missed. I am hoping the line gets darker for you and will be watching and waiting.

I am off to bed, so tired, feel sick and headache. Chat to you lovely ladies tomorrow. Sorry if I have missed anyone xxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Becks I totally see that line !! And I never ever see them until they a blaring . If that's what stepping back does for you ........... See ya ladies lol...........

 

[Left wonderin]

Hehehehehe just kidding OMG though Becks I'm so hoping it progresses . And your so right at least it proves your in with a fighting chance and everything still works but I'm so so hoping that this is the one for you ill be stalking !!

Waiting is starting to get me down , well especially at this time of the month ... Sitting back watching the fertile period slip by ...... Uhhhhhhhhh . Don't mind me grumpy and tired tonight lol.....

 

[Oasis717]

Aw thanks ladies I just wish i could be happy but until I see a darker line I don't want to get my hopes up! I'm not sure if its the no stress or the diet (lost 9lbs) and cut out sugar altogether but I hope so much that the no symptoms isn't meaning all is lost. I'm sorry you both are feeling rotten, I hope you feel better really soon xxxxxxxxx

 

[crysshae]

Oh dear can you not, I can see it on my tablet, dh doesn't do faint lines but he can see this one well at least before it disappears on me which I'm expecting, thank you thoughxxxxxx

It's probably because I'm on my phone. Never turn my computer on anymore. It's good your DH can see it especially if you usually doesn't see faint lines. Looking forward to watching it progress.

Jo - Yes, I am getting excited. Won't be much longer. I'm not sure what your temps are doing.

Lol Regina. You'll be trying again in no time.

 

[Oasis717]

No worries Crystal I did another today with fmu but my fmu sucks! Plus I didn't put enough wee on the stick lol. Had squeeze a few more drops out so wasn't sure if id even get a line but it was slightly darker. Should of waited til pm but was worried yesterdays test was wrong! Bottom test is today i wish i had a better camera on this tablet!Xx

 

[Sparkle125]

Becks...I see it! I hope it continues to get darker and darker.

AFM: Less than a week away! It is kind of funny though..I have wanted to be pregnant for so long and this pregnancy has been perfect. Honestly, I'd really like to stay pregnant for a little longer. I am ready to meet him, of course...but I love having him with me all the time in this safe environment where he is warm and cozy and I get to take him everywhere I go. I am not scared of what's to come...that is, any more than is normal. I know I am going to fumble with the best of them and everything will be ok. I just love having him with me. I guess he will soon kick me from the outside instead of the inside. But honestly, I am so grateful for this pregnancy and am excited to meet my boy...my Rainbow.

 

[Oasis717]

Thank you i hope so. Wishing you masses of luck Sparkle so exciting xxxxxx

 

[crysshae]

I see that line really well!

Jenn - I know exactly what you mean. I'm always so excited to meet and hold and nurse and change my little ones but I miss feeling them kicking me inside while I'm holding them outside. Can't wait to see pics of your baby boy.
