Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[Mandy4once]

Hello all its nice to see i´m not on my own at TTC.I´m quite nervous about this and last month i defenetly thought i was pregnant but i did a preg test and i got a BFN so i´m 12 days away from my next period and waiting.My boobs hurt so much but that could be the symtoms of af on its way.I only had one positive since i was married and i don´t know if it was an early m/c or false positive but never had a baby.I was so ill when i got the positive blood test and was´nt expecting it but was so happy until the doctor checked me a couple of weeks later and said that another blood test came out negative.I cried so much and have been wanting a baby since then.Me and hubby were going to adopt but it did´nt go well.Well here i am for support on TTC and to give support too.Babydust to everyone.P.S i did have my falopian tubes blocked but have taken medicine to see if they are unblocked now.Any experiences on this?Thanks lady´s!!!

Welcome Mandy. Sorry to hear about your early miscarriage. I too miscarried at 9 weeks 3 years ago this month and it was my first and only bfp. Sore boobs are a sign of ovulation. May I ask what went wrong with adoption?

 

[Grey Eyes]

Welcome Mandy!! I had a mc like that also---bfp then some bleeding and nothing on the scan- this is when we first married since then I've had another mc (Nov 2011) but now we have 3 gorgeos dd's! So chin up It'll happen! Did you have HSG to check your tubes??

Chantal- OOoooI would love to go tanning in Barbados! I am jealous! I am horribly pale too so fight for a tan every short summer lol!

 

[Samsfan]

Chantal- yum oysters! love them!

Greyeyes- Wow that is cold!!!!!!!! How do you deal with it? It snowed here tonight... and I was working by the fireplace. Haven't worked out. I need to get out in the am with the dog! I'm just status quo until I get to my endo. I think I may have had a stubborn egg... just feeling pms symptoms now!

Hi ladies!

Tracey- So glad to hear from you! I missed you :hugs" Your quote " I've been 'at work' all day today, but the systems still aren't working, so all I've managed to do is archive 3 emails! Woohoo, go me!!!!! " made me laugh! There are days just like that when it feels like we are running in place Enjoy your semi-day off Glad you are getting good reports back! How's the new diet/exercise plan going? You are attending meetings did you say? I bet that makes it fun!

Ali- you are not a geek! Well...maybe a little JK!!! You are just good @ what you do Headaches any better? I am gla you have a plan...what do you mean "trial run" in February? Like stimming?

Sam- how are you today?

Jen- have you tested??....??

Chantal- how was you long weekend?

Angel, Jess, Alin, Andra, Babywhisperer, Babydust, JandK--love you all, miss hearing from you!!

I have the flu. It seems like almost everyone in our area has it. Not fun. When I get more energy, I'll post more.

Hey All..

Welcome Mandy.. I have never had a known miscarriage.. I just can't seem to get pregnant at all.. no implantation We're working on that. and good luck!

Sams - stay warm and you might want to think about getting some exercise videos to do when it is icky out? I have zumba and a few others that I try to use when I don't want to leave the house.

Coy - brr.. it NEVER gets that cold here in FL, although I remember temps like that in Canada. One of the reasons I moved to FL! LOL!

TwoToGo - grr.. stupid FLU. I hope you feel better!

AFM - nothing much going on here. I'm today, it is going to get easier as they are shifting some of the work around to others. YAY! I did just have an issue with the doggies. Zoe rolled around in something and managed to get it all over her including inside her ear so I had to give her a serious bath before she rubbed any of that ickiness over the house! I gave Zach one too. Since he was in need. Now I have 2 wet wieners! My dogs are wiener dogs.. I never stop laughing at that. TEE HEE. Here is a picture of Zach when he's just come out of the bath (taken 2 weeks before but it is the same each time). Zoe hides after her bath, she jumps into the bath tub as she is afraid of the hair dryer. So that is my day.. just working and a friend is going to stop by to look at some work I need done around the house. Just little things, like window washing and power washing.

I think I missed my O, which is fine with me, I bet it was Sunday. I am feeling the cramping I normally feel immediately after my O. So I will assume that AF will be late (since I O'd late) and it will come around Feb 3rd. Hopefully I am incorrect and it will come sooner. I really want to have my baby in 2013!

 

[Grey Eyes]

AFM-

Sssooo...we bd'd 6 and 4 days before and the very early morning of FF's proclaimed ovulation day...I expected temp to drop and AF to show up today but my temp actually went UP some again..and I am currently 8dpo.

[Grey Eyes]

Not sure as my cycles may be off...just anything to stress me out, right? lol

 

[alicatt]

GEESH! Well maybe you do want Irish twins!
Maybe go get yourself a diaphragm? I have one, but I've only used it a few times. It is just a cup like thing (no hormones) that covers your cervix, so they can't get in there! Then you won't have to stress!!

 

[Grey Eyes]

So waiting for my attorney. We were supposed to have court 2 weeks ago...then as the PA had not recieved all intel it got pushed to 2morro. NOW my Atty isn't sure we're going 2moro either He's supposed to "get back with me". So....do I go to court and wait like an idiot or stay home and get arrested for not appearing? Seriously

Oh. And the police are now telling us that they have some frozen chicken in their pd frozen locker as evidence. Ummmm.... K.

I just had this wonderful image of me (a thinner, fitter, tanner me ) lounging on a quiet breezy beach somewhere...the kids are "off yonder" and it's nice n'quiet...

But here I am lol!

Hi All! Just checking in and sending to all my BnB ladies!
We are coming up on 2 weeks and I think I'm doing well for the most part. Trying to sleep when Babes sleeps and encouraging dd#1 to help out with some of the housework so I don't go crazy!
Last night we had a girls' sleepover and all piled into my king sized bed. DD#1 and I talked into the wee hours of the morning just like we were on a sleep over and it was so much fun! Even the cat came and curled up on the bed with us, so it really was an all girls night!
I knew I should have closed my eyes early on, but it was so good to have a proper catch up with my eldest girl.... the things they talk about in the dark! We are closer than we've ever been before. I feel so lucky!
She's so taken with her sister and helps me with her as much as she can....
Well, I'm totally knackered, so more later.... hope this finds you all well!

YAY! Love updates from you Phil! Your little one is absolutely beautiful! Love the chubby cheeks. Sounds like everything is A-OK in your household

 

[never_give_up]

Good morning Ladies

Phil-your little one is so precious. Sounds like you are on

Ali - Yes the term weiner dogs makes me laugh too. Especially since I saw someone posted a photo of one in a hotdog bun. Your photo of them wet from their bath didn't post though? Would love to see it

Coy -Good luck at court. Yes I think you should go. Don't wait on the lawyer. Better to be on the safe side.

twotogo- sorry you got the flu. I tried getting my flu shot last week but they were all out so will go today. Wishing you much better soon.

It is a cold 9 f this morning but it actually went down to 7 f during the night and supposed to be colder on Friday so I am skipping acupuncture. I am just not used to this kind of weather. I am on cd 7 and already getting ovulation cramping? Usually I get it on the left side but this time it's the right. Going to do an opk later today.

 

[never_give_up]

I was looking for an update from JenSC but didn't see any. Fingers crossed that she got a

 

[alicatt]

OOPS! I'm good at that.. promising a picture, but forgetting to upload it!

Here is my little Zach.. all wet after his bath a few weeks ago. He looks so pitiful! Gotta love the expressions they have!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Phil- aw, I am glad to hear such great news coming from you! It is nice to be so close to your family Glad you had fun! Remember to rest when you can.

Chantal- thanks! And I agree on the cold weather- we have been having like -5 F at night or colder I don't go out unless I have to! I have been thinking of Jen as well, I wonder if she tested, did AF show her face?

Ali- awwww...I love pics of Zach! Wacky Zacky you say? Nnnoooo! He's gorgeous He knows it too, lol.

AFM-
Re:my chart...so odd, my temp spiked to 98.2 this morning. I am noticing pink cm (tmi) but not sure at this point...9dpo today
So my case was dismissed-yay! /now just gotta find out if/how I can regain my atty fees.

 

[alicatt]

Since you love them so much.. here is this mornings photo..

Zoe is under the covers (normal)
Zach is on top (typical)

Alarm goes off, they don't move, I get up and have a shower, still no movement, I attempt to strip the beds to get the sheets into the laundry, must pick them up and MOVE them. I swear they are not morning dogs (unless I want to sleep, and then they are up and ready to go)
