Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[alicatt]

Hi ladies.

I would like to introduce myself to The group. I am somewhat new to this site (about a month old)and have had a wonderful experience so far. really amazing women. However, I just noticed that there is a 35+ area and I am so excited

I'm currently on cd 20/6 dpo. Anyone else at this stage in the game?

Baby dust to each and everyone of you.

There are a few others that are at that point, but I haven't seen them on in a few days. Best of luck to you

look what I found! so cute and really easy.... instead of mud, you could do a white ganache coloured with blue to make water and put in gummy fish or sharks? ganache is dead easy to make, don't let it scare you.... or you could do blue tinted cool whip, too....
I'll keep looking.... let me know if there's a theme, or fav colour or something![URL=https://s1305.photobucket.com/user/PhilomenaBence/media/pigs-n-mud-cake_zps26a4c7d4.jpg.html][IMG]https://i1305.photobucket.com/albums/s557/PhilomenaBence/pigs-n-mud-cake_zps26a4c7d4.jpg[/URL][/IMG]

I'm here, trying to work, and keep tabs on the floor going in. We just placed my new carpet and my bed. The carpet was not what I was expecting. It has 2-tone weave and is definitely shag. It was supposed to be cream and not shag. HMM. Well it is what I have at the moment. We'll see if the dogs destroy it. Luckily it was cheap! I may replace it at a later date, but for now it is what it is.

I love the pigs that is adorable!!! I guess it is ringed with Kit Kat's? So amazing!! You find the most adorable cakes. When I was young I was lucky to get a cake at all! Usually a betty crocker or a from a bakery. My Mom is and was a hopeless baker! She can cook though

This one is simple but lovely, with a real tiara on top!

Here's one that uses ice cream cones to make turrets!

Phil- Beautiful cakes! Wow!

Babywhisperer- How are you feeling? How is work going any adjustments>

Alicatt- How's the burn? I'm convinced you are just independently wealthy. You are always home. I want your job!

Coy- Awesome news about the girls Test! I think you have future leaders!

Chantal- Where are you?

AFM- I spoke with the doctor... I just need to start stims before June 4th. I think it may work out. I'm in a weird spot right now. I'm not comfortable with my body or weight. It seems like is such a battle, but I'm always tired and fatigued and eating bad things. I don't feel like working out, but I know that its just a terrible cycle. Seems like I have no time with work. I'm out the door by 7:30 some days and I'm working on stuff till 11pm. I know it's all within my control, but I'm not good at breaking the cycle. I also came back from my trip and have been bad. I have failed to call my medicine man to schedule acupuncture and I'm off the tea for a couple of days now.

Sams.. my job is not that great, I just work for a company that allows their employees to work remotely. I'm a senior systems analyst, constantly putting out fires and dealing with unhappy clients!

Don't give up.. a lot of what you are doing and feeling is due to the TTC and IVF and all the meds. I'm in the same boat it is no fair. So keep your eye on the prize and it will all be worth it!

 

[Samsfan]

Alicatt- I feel like the drugs ruined my body. My hair is not the same... body feels like its 10 years older. Is it the drugs or the stress from TTC?

where is everyone??? hellooooooo

 

[alicatt]

Both!!! Hormones and stress! I figure we just keep going and then once I'm pregnant I'll get my act together! Course when I'm in cycle I'm very rigid in what I eat and do! I agree that my hair has changed, it's beautiful on the hormones and then falls out and dries up when I go off them

Alicatt- I knew it! I've never seen my hair this way! I think of that movie with Ashley Judd when she looks awful! That's what I feel like I look like. I had great hair...shiny and full... and now its just frizz! The FS told me that repeated IVF's has caused hair loss in some patients. I wanted to juice and that lasted 8 hours... I don't know how to react or be normal.
