Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[babydust2me]

Hi ladies!

TwoToGo- nuts, hope this isn't AF showing up What do you mean skip next month and try again in November? You don't use bc do you? Hope not, most of it is evil Everything I ever tried seemed to mess with my cycles for an extended period after getting off it Could just be my body though.

Babywhisperer- yep, implantation can happen aorund now for sure. Doesn't mean AF won't show but sure doesn't look like she will at this point! Your temps are awesome

Jess- miss ya!

Alin- where are you?

Ali- glad you are having fun in Canada. I say def go to that festival cranberry thingy, sounds delicious! Would if I could!

AFM- I got to bed around0130 this morning..Kat woke me at 230, 330, 430, 5:00 am, then the dog barked to be let out at 5:30 so then I got hungry and ate something. Dh was up by then...Then I went to bed again at 6 for some shut-eye and Kat woke me aghain at 730 crawling into dh's side of the bed. Then Teagen woke me up! Anyway, I am exhausted today...Grampa showed up early with presents for T and Kat and the baby (when she comes out!) but hisd new wife is very jealous of his time and wouldn't let him stay to visit. She made him stand byu the door and just say "hello" before they left

Here is a pic of the cake. Simple and not too big but I thought kinda cute It has pockets of fudge throughout that's ALL I care about

Awesome cake!!! Try to get some rest UGH!!! Sorry

Well, I'm feeling a little bit crampy...maybe AF is coming. Otherwise all other symptoms are gone for the most part. Out of tests...may have to go get more Does it work to poas on used sticks??? I've heard of some people doing that

 

[twotogo]

Wonderful cake!

Not sure how you are even functioning on such little sleep. I would be a complete crab if that happened to me.

Well, AF hasn't shown up yet, and I've stopped spotting, so I guess there's still hope. We'll see.

I decided to upload a picture of the snow. It's snowing again today, and it is sooooo pretty! This is looking out my front door. We live across the street from the county sherriff.

 

[twotogo]

Oh, and Coy I'm not going on bc. Haven't been on that for 22 years. It did really bad things to me. We will just hold off a month because if I get pregnant next month I will be due at the same time as a global conference that I definitely don't want to miss.

 

[Grey Eyes]

Thanks ladies! I plan on a nap today sometime....maybe lol!

TowToGo- glad no bc- it's an ightmare for some reason!

Babywhisperer- not sure about poasing on used sticks, I;ve not heard of that! Can always give it a shot I guess! Lemme know what happens Oh yeah, and post a pic lady! lol, I am addicted to poas!

 

[twotogo]

Since I sliced my finger open, I can't do dishes. (well, I guess I could wear gloves, but...) Hubby did some yesterday, but when I got home from my meeting this afternoon, the dishes were piled high. The kids have to work this afternoon, and hubby is out helping someone for the rest of the day, so I'm letting the kids pack up the dishes in a plastic tub and they are taking them over to the church's kitchen to use the dishwasher over there.
I do find it funny that the church has a dishwasher that's hardly ever used, and the church parsonage doesn't have one. I don't mind handwashing at all, but my kiddos think it's cruel and unusual punishment. Well, they've just been given a new lease on life I guess. But really, I can't believe I'm letting them do that. I just don't think I could take an afternoon in such a messy kitchen.

Picture of a rainbow across the lake, probably the 3rd rainbow I've seen today.. I also posted some pictures on FB earlier..

 

[babydust2me]

Took a FRER...bfn at 12dpo. I really think it's a no this month. Even though I had a zillion crazy symptoms. Maybe it was a virus...

That cake is fabulous and fun! Mom of the year caliber.

Heading back from the game. Feeling crampy. Heading to Benihana bc dh is obsessed. Write more later.

Rest up Coy. And for those in the tww with me, fx'd for all of us.

Ali, sounds really cold. Bundle up, be cozy by the fireplace and relax. You deserve it.

 

[Grey Eyes]

TwoToGo- wow, that's the way to get dishes done! I don't blame you. I remember you mentioned cutting your finger while collecting tomatoes--I did this not too long ago cutting steak, my 7 year old got me distracted and "sss" there it went And heck yeah- def use the washer!

Ali- Ooo I love the pic of the rainbow! That image almost has a smell...a piney smell can I come over?? I'll take the cooler weather if I can have a cup of something hot to go with it

Babydust...what is your daytime temperature right now? Are you bbt'ing at all when you first wake up?

Gorgeous pic! Makes me look forward to Christmas almost!! (almost...)

Grey Eyes~ I have not taken my temp today but definitely not feeling as warm as I have the last few days. I had a few hot moments this evening but they didn't last very long. If AF comes, I'm definitely going to chart this next month and start taking my temp every am. I should just go check my temp...

 

[babydust2me]

Ok, my temp is 98.1...probably AF coming?

 

[Grey Eyes]

No not necessarily as this is a day time temp--totally normal. I just noted you mentioned feeling feverish at one point But ya seem perfect! I am curious about your waking temp though Yay!for starting to chart btw, it is terribly addicted though...lol!

 

[alin3boys]

twotogo im here hun keep checking posts just not posting,still feeling gutted about af need a kick up backside to snap me out of it.

ali ~ i took a pic of a double rainbow whilst on holiday,was trying to take pic without getting my ipad wet lol

coy ~ any sign of that baby girl yet,i have never gone full term with my pregnancies mikey was 5 weeks early

afm back to charting and opks not sure whether to try soy again and think going to visit docs as been actively trying 12 months now and ntnp since mikey was born 23 months ago.

 

[babydust2me]

The witch arrived...ugh. On to charting...Thanks for all of your help and encouragement. Maybe this month

Temp dropped from 98.94 to 98.43 and I'm spotting. This is af and now I know my LP is 13 days. Does anyone know when you start taking mucinex? Is it cd1 or after af is done?

I'm a little sad, but I'm learning a lot by charting and I am sort of thankful to not be starting my new job pregnant. I know the firm wouldn't appreciate that right away. I told dh we need to start smep and that we need to be proactive in bding...meaning no more coming home drunk after golf.

Talk more later, cuddling with dh.

I'm sorry this wasn't your month, but it's good that you're learning about your cycle. I think Mucinex only lasts 6-24 hours (depending on the dose), so you only need to take during your possible fertile days, so starting about 5 days before you expect to O should cover all your bases. That said, it hasn't work for me , but my SIL swears by it!

ASM, I'm in the waiting room, waiting for my IUI within the next hour.

Thank you. Good luck and I hope the IUI isn't uncomfortable. FX'd for you!
