Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[babydust2me]

Hi ladies, I am 36. We have been TTC for over a year for #3, had a mis this past memorial day and am very hopeful this month! Having tons of symptoms but no bfp yet. Can I lay out my symptoms to you?? Sorry if it's boring Okay, this past Tues (8dpo), very suddenly went from feeling amazing to crazy hot flashes and mild cramping. Lasted all day. Yesterday (9dpo) I had hot flashes and extreme dizziness, literally blacked out 4 or more times, easily exhausted. Today 10dpo, major back aches all day all over my back, stabbing pain on my lower left abdomen, sudden fluid leakage, easily exhausted and a fever of 99.9. I also have sore boobs but I always have sore boobs before AF so I'm not counting that symptom What do you think???? AF should be here Monday. Only have one test left so I want to save it until Sat or Sunday Would love your input!!!

Sounds like the only thing you're missing is a bfp!! All the signs are there. I hope you get your bfp asap!! I am 10dpo too, but my symptoms have been erratic since I have a slight head/sinus cold. FX'd for you!! I'm testing on Sat too if the witch stays away!

Ooooo! Sounds very positive! I had a fever temp up in the 99.'s when I got my bfp too...(ahem) I tested 9dpo...(hint hint) lol! It was very faint though with a frer so maybe best to wait And symptom spotting is never boring on this thread! I am 37 and baby should be born any day now So I know age is not always a factor (if ever ) got my fx''d for you and glad to have you on board!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Don't know what's wrong with me ladies...I am so terribly exhausted! Like my body hurts exhausted. I am wondering if this is a symptom of impending labor? I hope so but I hope it lets me rest first! I'm NEVER happy, right?! I'm planning on eating dinner (curry so maybe the spice will help), taking a shower (hot, I've heard that encourages labor ) and to BED!

Welcome Babydust! Symptoms are never boring, so share away
I also only have one test and will probably wait until Saturday or Sunday to take. I want to be sure that AF is late. Don't know whether or not she is due tomorrow or Saturday since FF has changed my O date.

Made it to Canada! Super tired and just plain happy to be here! Welcome babydust2me! Your symptoms sound very promising. Looks like we have several people testing this weekend! YAY!

Would love to see some and a baby born! Coy tell babes we want to meet her so she knows its time to come out now!

I'm in bed, without my little weiner dogs, miss them so! Would love to be cuddling with them. Matt was never much of a cuddler, one of his less desirable traits.

I'll be checking in to see how everyone is doing!

Hate to be so brief but I'm on the train heading into the city to resign from my job and sign my contract for the new one.

Ali, glad you made it. Enjoy the downtime and Fall foliage.

Coy, sorry you're feeling so tired and achy. I hope she comes soon.

Afm I think I am out for reals. My temp dropped from 98.66 yesterday to 98.20 this morning and I'm feeling like af is coming. That's the biggest temp drop I've had so at 11 dpo it can't be a good thing.

I will check in later, gonna be a stressful morning resigning and sad to say goodbye to the people I've loved working with. We laugh so much at work and they really care about me but this new opportunity was too good to turn down.

Have a lovely morning ladies. Deep breath.

 

[babydust2me]

Thank you all!!! Well I gave in and tested 11dpo with my very last FRER bfn I figured i would have a bfp at this point even if it's faint. Today I woke up with a sore throat and still very feverish/hot flashy. still feeling very light stabbing pains on lower left abdomen. I believe this is it but man, I wish I would just get confirmation!

 

[twotogo]

It's snowing here!

AFM - I think I may be out. AF hasn't showed, but I'm starting to cramp.
If she hasn't shown by this evening, I will take my FRER tomorrow morning. Not holding out much hope, though.

 

[Grey Eyes]

Alin- sometimes temps don't tell us everything! with a high closed cervix and late AF makes me wonder...when will you test (if you do)?

Babydust-- hm...I tested 9dpo and got a stark white frer- the next day the faintest of lines appeared. So sometimes your body just needs a little extra time. I hear ya on the frer's though- they are spendy! When would AF be considered late? Oh, also- are you set up on fertilityfriend.com? They let you set up a chart to track bbt, signs, symptoms, etc, and help figure out all your phases, ovulation, etc...I love chart stalking!

Babywhisperer- I understand about the job- if this is a great opportunity for you then I am glad that everything is working out! It may take a few weeks but I am sure you'll settle in with your new co-workers and love your new position

TwoToGo- keep your snow lady, I don't want it yet! lol, my oldest dd (8 soon!) her birthday is tomorrow and she wants snow soooo bad! I keep telling her no in hopes of staving it off! Cramping but no AF yet? Not out yet then...got my fx'd the stays away!

Ali- how are ya today? Rested I hope Have fun and try to relax this time! Do you have to work remotely at all this week?

Jess- where are you lady? I miss you!

Terri- did ya pounce? GL this month! Fx'd

Angel-

AFM- wow, what a strange night! I was soooo exhausted last night that I felt sick from it Did get rest though I am still tired today. Guess I will just go slow with everything and take a darn nap if I need it lol! Today: I feel all spread out My hips, my lower back, tail bone...it all seems to be conspiring to loosen and flange out . Just my body getting ready- it all makes me feel pretty miserable at the moment but I know in the long run it helps labor go more smoothly so I am all for it *sigh* I hate having to be patient and wait!

 

[babydust2me]

Thank you Grey eyes! I really feel like this is it but maybe just need a couple more days. AF is due Monday but occasionally it is a day or 2 late/or early. Ugh...I remember those miserable last days of pregancy! The worst! I hope you go soon! What's your due date?

 

[twotogo]

Coy - I keep running to the bathroom to see if the witch has arrived.... nothing yet. So my fx'd too.

I am amazed that your little babes hasn't arrived yet. You'd think she would make her appearance to make us all happy.

Thank you Coy! I was a ball of nerves this morning waiting to resign and anticipating their reactions. It was sad and everyone was shocked to see me and my coworker go, but they all wished us well. Our boss admitted the failings of the firm and didn't blame us for taking a better opportunity. We left on such a great note. I really couldn't have asked for a better way to leave.

Still no af, cp is still practically out of reach. Only time will tell. I'm very curious to see what my bbt will be tomorrow morning. That was such a big drop this morning so I am doubtful the next day or 2 will bring anything other than af.

How are you feeling? Any contractions?

Ali, how is the weather? Are you getting some much needed R&R?

Jess did your thesis kidnap you?

2 intense weeks of stress are behind me with respect to work. Happy to have had all of you to vent to and to talk me off a ledge. Hope everyone is enjoying their day!

 

[TerriLou]

Hey everyone,

Coy, yes, of course I pounced! LOL! Not that I needed to, he knew what was expected of him!!! There was no smiley today, but will get another session in shortly.

I phoned my Doc this morning to make an appointment and the next one I could book is the 20th, but I'll probably have AF by then, so I'll have to ring first thing Monday morning to get an 'on the day' appointment. They are so annoying. I've got to do something, I can't put up with 70 day cycles, its rediculous.

I told my Hubby about the lack of a doctors appointment and he started researching stuff. He came across this article, which didn't make me feel that great, apparently I have about a 6% chance of getting pregnant this cycle:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2212922/Trying-baby-New-formula-predicts-womans-chance-falling-pregnant.html

The really annoying thing is that we started trying in April last year and caught the first month trying, unfortunately that ended in mc at 8 weeks and we haven't managed anything since. I keep thinking that maybe that was my one and only chance and I failed.

Babywhisper, Babydust, Two2go and Alin, I have everything crossed for all of you, except the obvious, due to the smiley face yesterday.

Coy, come on, you've been ready to go (in my opinion) for about a week or so now, whats going on? I guess your body has finally made you slow down, I'm glad you are thinking about taking things easier and treating yourself to a shower. Chill Woman, you're feeling pants because your body is about to go through one of the most stressful times. Hopefully you won't have much longer until you meet your beautiful baby and yes, judging by your and your DDs, she will be beautiful. Can't wait to see the pics.

Ali, glad you've arrived safely, I'm sure your doggies are being well looked after by Matt, have you heard from him how he's getting on with Zach?

Jess, JandK and everyone else I haven't mentioned

First of all- thanks for the encouragement! I want babes to come quick now too, I am tired of waiting lol!

Second- stats? Crap. That's what I think of stats! My dh and I looked at all of those too and were so deflated, but somehow by the grace of God managed to get prego second month trying! So the chance is always high and always there I say!

Third- An mc in no way means that you failed. There is no failure here- mc's are terrible, I have had two of them, but I know they were not my fault. They just happen I think your chances are awesome this month for the simple fact you got your smiley and you lol! If NOT then I'd say def see if you can get that cycle shortened

My EDD is October 19th but doc says she'll probably come loads sooner than that. I sure hope so!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Hi ladies! Just found this cool site online that tells me all about "station". The doctor told me that babes is at "0 Station" so here is a link to an image that shows where that is...

https://community.babycenter.com/post/a28362673/what_does_it_mean_that_ur_baby_is_in_station_1-3....

I'm going o go power walk and see if I can't jug her lower! The lower she is the quicker labor should be, right? I hope?.....
