Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[alicatt]

I treated myself to a piece of cake (craving chocolate). The freaking piece of cake tasted like fish so sad. How is that even possible? Did they mix up milk with fish brine?

No flu... acupuncture took care of that. I'm working. I think it takes up my life and created on none friendly babymaking environment.

Chantal- r u 21dpo?? Have you tested?

21 dpo? Nooo Coy I am 7dpo and having ovulation cramping already. I was looking at your chart and calculating YOUR cycle when I said must be 5 days away
I agree with you. Full fat Icecream is the first thing I reach for when the gets me.

Samsfan the only thing that will help you feel better from the flu is lots of rest. Are you off from work?

 

[Samsfan]

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.......... time to toss that!
I make turkey meatloaf...it was yum

So Coy I suspect your glad that AF arrived.....wooooohhhhhhh....

Wow..... your DH is taking a chance eating the centers.....

It is so cold here..... Don't know how you do it Greyeyes I'm so confused why do people call you Coy too??????

I feel like poo.... I week of bad eating.... sore breasts... blemishes forming...emotional and insecure about my decisions which I have to make everyday! Work is stressfulllllll. Think AF is on the way.

Today I logged on fb to find an old friend had her fifth child... she's 120 lbs and gorgeous and just had her FIFTH! So where did I go wrong? I have no choice to focus on work and I think its interfering with my babymaking I know I sound like I'm complaining.

Nevergiveup I agree you don't need donor eggs yet. Can you get a second opinion?

Ali- your dogs are adorable.

I need a vacation.

Sorry you're feeling so terrible.. take some emergenC to help boost your immune system. Don't let your friends with babies coming out their ears bother you. Just focus on you and getting YOU better. One thing I know about being sick is that it is better to take 1-3 days off and let your body fight it and get better more quickly than to try to work through it and end up prolonging it because you are too tired. So get better! Stop worrying about work! It will be there when you return.

Thanks about the doggies.. I happen to be quite smitten with them

Ladies!

Chantal...but...your chart says 21 dpo...how come? Did they miss marking your latest Ov date? I bet that's it

Ali- Nope, I didn't think you were singling me out- you crack me up! :laugh1: Anyways yuk to fish cake lol!

Sam- I am going to pm you my email/facebook adress, K? And don't EVEN let someone else get you down...if AF is on the way that is why you feel bad. Plus bad eating will bring its own "yuk" feeling...I know, I eat junk too once in a while Couldn't pay me to eat Ali's Fish Cake though! Oh- and I am "greyEyes" and Coy because...Grey Eyes- I have them and that's my bnb sign-up name...Coy is my real given name

All I wanted was some nice gooey chocolate cake! Instead I got chocolate fish cake maybe it was God's way of telling me I'm not supposed to be eating cake! It was nasty!

 

[never_give_up]

Ali sorry that you didn't get your chocolate fix. I never tasted a fishy tasting cake

Samsfan I am Chantal and my screen name and also my motto is never give up. I also find it difficult to see FB friends posting baby photos. A friend of dh had twins (naturally, no ivf) and they started trying long after us. They decided to travel for their first year of marriage and planned exactly when they wanted to have their babies. I know how you feel.

Coy I am paying for the fertility friend so that is disappointing that you don't see the same chart as me. They offered a discount around Christmas so I signed up for it so FF would tell me chances of conceiving. Last month they even put possible implantation. It was cool.

Dh wants to go to bed early woohoo!
Have a good night ladies!

 

[never_give_up]

Good morning ladies! Does anyone else feel super tired at 6 in the morning? Even thinking back 5 years ago I don't remember finding it so difficult to get out of bed. A friend of Dh who is 36 is always planning lots of events. I don't know where he get's the energy? Maybe it's those few years difference in age? This weekend he asked if we want to go play pool on Saturday then go watch a band and go iceskating on Sunday. Where does he get all the energy?

I am packing lunch for dh. Have a great day!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Hm...So my cycle was 28 days last month, only 23 days this month....I am thinking it is a no-brainer that bf'ing will toss my regular cycles. From what I have read and what you awesome ladies tell me bf'ing causes a shift in hormones that reflects on mycycles, soooooo...I guess I will keep charting just for the fun of it lol...

So I sit here in my running clothes waiting for Aeryn to wake up so she can go back to sleep so that I can go running- believe me, there is logic behind my motive She likes to wake up to mom..get a happy change (we play when I change her ) Somehow both her socks always manage to shoot off her feet and hit the wall behind me...magic baby powers? Then she likes to say "hi" to everyone. Then she meanly demands food by whacking at me and yelling loudly. She eats and falls asleep. THEENNN I can creep out the house lol. Oh, my girls watched me work out with weights last night so this morning I walk in to them watching Curious George and doing one-arm pushups Cute

OH! I am wondering too...re:charting...remember Jess would often have cycles with sustained high bbt even into her AF? That's what's happening to me here so Iwonder if there is some time of correlation? Like maybe her hormones are surging similar to a lactating woman causing either irregular ov or no ov at all? I am trying to remember what her doc said...Because my temp is noticeably waaaay above cover line yet here I sit with AF

 

[jm1355]

Just checking in with everyone. Any BFPs I haven't heard about yet?

AFM...I started with the OPKs again this month. After finishing my thesis and graduating, I need something to occupy my time. I haven't started temping again yet but I probably will next cycle.

I hope everyone is doing well!!

Yay! Hi Jess! lol, and here I was talking about you How are you? Congrats again on graduation btw!

Awesome you'll be opk'ing again I have been at appropriate times just to see iykwim? I mentionedmy bbt being higher than pre-ov during AF...dh said it is the weightlifting?? I don't think it effects ov though, the more I study...

 

[Grey Eyes]

................................I'm all alone on here today...wonder how ya'll are doing?

 

[AngelSerenity]

Hiya Coy, you'll probably be sleeping at the moment, but I'm in saying hello


Hope everybody is well, I'm still hibernating here . I just wish I could go to sleep and wake up in 6 months time, with a new job, new house and baby no.2 on board


xo

 

[alicatt]

Jess - YAY for using your OPKs, and checking in. We miss you! No new BFPs thought Phil had her baby! OHH.. so beautiful too.

Angel - yes, wouldn't a nice long winters nap be nice? I like your idea!

Coy - so sorry I have been MIA. Work has been long and I just haven't been wanting to be online when I get home. I hope you are having a good day!!!

AFM - got my code completed yesterday YAY! Now to run it and debug it. I hope I get it done today. I'm going to this Dachshund Winterfest Party in South Beach, Miami, FL: https://www.dachshundwinterfest.com/ tomorrow with my 2 doggies, and a friend is going to join us. So that will be fun! Then Sunday I have a ladies brunch to go to to celebrate a friends birthday. She has been through a lot this year and we are hoping to cheer her up. So that is what is going on for me this weekend I hope my head does well, it is bothering me right now Stupid head! LOL.

Ladies!

You sound like a perfect mom! Making them do all the hard stuff. It will stand them in good stead in the future. But I'm sure not without a lot of drama and crying and slamming of doors first!

Yes, I'm excited to go to the Wienerfest! Zoe is going to do her rollover trick. She is so good at it!!! I haven't been able to teach Zach any tricks because when I try, Zoe gets all jealous and wants in on the action, but then she expects the treats that come along with doing the trick. She is in need of keeping her weight down so I can't give her extra treats So until I can get Zach separated from Zoe, he won't learn much besides 'sit'! LOL.

 

[Grey Eyes]

Awww...poor Zoe...no more treat-ball?

 

[never_give_up]

Wishing you lovely ladies a wonderful weekend!

I was struggling today to finish housework. The cold weather has finally caused a fibro flare-up I soaked in the bath for a while to help with the pain in my arms. Now I'm sitting by the window watching the snow falling.

 

[alicatt]

Awww...poor Zoe...no more treat-ball?

She shoved it under the couch. Not sure why? I will let her use it, but only before dinner, and with dog food. I'm naughty, she doesn't get real treats in there, she just thinks they are! Then when I feed her dinner I just give her less. I'm so funny!

 

[never_give_up]

Ali your dogs sound like fun. We live next to a main road and dont have a fence that's why I am scared to get a dog. Don't want them to run into the road. I miss pets. When I was in high school I had 2 rabbits, 2 cats, a dog and a monkey. Dh had 2 cats but they died the year before I moved here in the house fire
