Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[marathongirl]

Good morning Ladies! Thanks for the thumbs up on the Robitussin, I will give it a try. Do you know when it's best to start. I read like 5 days before O or so??
How are you feeling today Grey eyes? How is the sunburn??

Phil- We are waiting for the pics!!

 

[Philomena]

I know! I KNOW! *grin*
you won't believe this... but the cable is missing to transfer from the camera to the computer...
I can't ask DH where it is... because he doesn't know yet!
and I can't post from my phone to any of my social media sites and get it from there because he's on all my friends lists!!
you ladies may have to wait a little bit longer...
I am definitely stick happy... I keep poas just to make sure it's true! and this morning I did a clearblue digi and it was so comforting to see the word "pregnant 1-2".....
I will post pics as soon as I can... three more sleeps before DH is being told... only because I think having Gil Gerrard tell him will blow him out of the water!! it is SO hard not to spill the beans!
Yesterday I had lunch with my Nana and I ate tuna sandwiches with no trouble... last night my DH wanted salad with tuna in it and he made it before I got home... I walked in the door and was like... "what is that vile smell? omg you have to eat your salad right away because the smell is horrible!" poor DH he's like... I didn't know you didn't like tuna... and I replied that it was only since I walked in the door....
*sigh*
maybe he's going to guess before Friday anyways?
I will keep trying to find a way to post these pics..... hang in there! They ARE coming!!

How are the rest of you ladies doing today??
Phil.

Marathongirl- I am feeling good and sunburn is all but gone. Nice sunny day today so what do I do? Yep- yard work I won't be surprised if I burn again but I am being careful! I think you can start robitussin any time...I would start sooner than 5 days just to get it in your system and working. As can live up to 6 days ina great cm I would start early, say right after AF?

Phil- lol about the tuna! My dh did the same thing! He makes tuna salad sandwiches I hate the smell of it, then he drains it in the sink and leaves that smell in there lol...You download like I do with a usb port? Yep- need that wire!

 

[Philomena]

GreyEyes- I'm laughing because after I made the comment about the smell I went to the sink to wash my hands and it was so much worse there! My dd said " well he probably drained it there" I was thinking- sure, but run the water so the sink doesn't reek like tuna!!

 

[Grey Eyes]

I thought I would add a bump-pic hope you all don't mind! I was doing yard-work so wearing my jeans and hat lol...

Phil- I went to www.photobucket.com and signed up for a free account there. Then I load my pics to my computer, access photobucket and upload to that site...then you scroll over your photobucket pic and it has options. You click on IMG code and then once you start writing your message in bnb you just copy you IMG code, e.g., hit Ctrl and V at the same time. It copies the code and when you post your pic is there!

Marathongirl-thanks! Does it seem like I am sticking out alot for 14 weeks? Dh says it was that way with last dd but I guess I don't remember... Yes, we will try to find out the sex of the baby probably by 20 weeks... My next apopintment is May 2nd which I'll be about 4 days into week 16. So probably the visit after that

I think the Robitussin is a good idea- I have read that some cycles cm can be pretty hostile so that's why I tried it the last cycle. Ahem, the more good cm the better lol...Got my fx'd for you!

Thanks! I am wondering if that had been the problem? Since taking the Chinese herbs I have noticed less EWCM?? Dh has olympic swimmers and I am fine apparently?? We will see??
I don't think you are sticking out too much! You look amazing. Remember it's your 3rd so.... I wasn't that big till past 6 months with my first but my second I was practically as big by 5 months as I was at the end with my first!!
I will start the Robitussin today!!!

Good morning Ladies!
Grey eyes- I started the Robitussin today it tastes nasty. I couldn't find the tablets so am taking the syrup.Yuck. Anyways I did read on a thread that 3 times a day for 5 days before and including o so 6 days altogether. I figured it wouldn't hurt to take it an extra day?? I am cd9 today so..... I could 0 on the 13th or 14th day it has been moving around a bit and I wanted to give it a chance to work.
How are you today? What's your project today??
How are you Philomena?

Thanks for the info!! I will look for those because I only bought a small bottle of Robitussin. Sounds like you did enough work for a whole month yesterday! I think maybe you are nesting??? I hope you take it easy today. I am in a cold arena watching my son play hockey. I know it's almost May! Have a great day!! I wonder where Phil is?

Hi Ladies!
GreyEyes, I get exhausted just reading all the stuff you are doing!
Marathongirl, how are you feeling? GL with the Robitussin... I hope we can all be bump buddies soon!
AFM- I've been crazy tired the last few days, and we've been busy doing some minor renos in our house, too.... but not like what you've been up to GreyEyes!!
we are putting up some crown molding in our main bathroom today, and we have to put up a little retaining wall for some garden space in the backyard... easy, but has to be done!
I have still been POAS the last few days.... I guess just to convince myself my little bean really is here and sticking.... plus I had a bunch of tests left over anyways.

So Friday, I went in to the doctor's office to get the official 'confirmation' and my doc was booked up already, so I saw her resident instead. I wasn't concerned because I was just there to get the confirmation and had already booked my first prenatal with my regular doc on May 10th. I peed in the cup and was put in the exam room..... then the resident doctor came in and said the test was NEGATIVE! I was stunned. Seriously, I POAS about 12 times since I got that first really faint positive and they always came out positive, including 2 digital tests.... how could all those tests be wrong? I had done one at home that morning and had gotten a strong, strong positive....
So she suggested I go for a bloodwork confirmation... which is fine, but I wanted to leave the office with my official confirmation right then. So I asked what kind of test they used, and would they please test it again?
She seemed a little mystified, and offered to show me the negative test, but I was very confident that I am pregnant and so she tested my sample again (thank god they hadn't tossed it by then) and lo and behold, she came in and sheepishly said, 'this one went positive... I don't know what happened with the other one" ..... I did point out that sometimes there are duds in the box... thank god I wasn't just relying on their test to prove I have a little bean!! But that's the same with the OPK's too... of the 5 I used, only 3 every went to positive.... 5 may have been overboard, but DH is glad I was a little crazy with them since we didn't miss our window....
This afternoon, we are meeting with our wedding filmmaker to preview the rough cut! I am SO excited!!

Marathongirl--how are you today? I am guessing you are cd12 or so??

Phil- how are you feeling?

Georgia- hope you are doing well!
