Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[alicatt]

Chantal-

Just to cover something that I know you are thinking about....

Miscarriage (I'll spell it so you don't have too ) There is NO REASON for you to think it will happen again. I have had two mc's- the first followed directly by a successful pregnancy; the second also followed by a successful pregnancy. SO stop worrying But just tomake certyain you do everything you can--e.g., the check-up, talk to a doc, progesterone (at our age advisable) et cetera. Don't listen to the doc that brushes you off- you deserve better than that! I have had docs like that and they don't help people.

Next- if you are worried about telling dh...I did too then realized this is his baby too and I need the support- so I told him. He told me later he was very grateful that I included him and didn't try to spare him stress. Babies come with all kinds of stress - always!!lol-- so don't worry about letting your dh know, he should share in the stress

Hope you don't mind me posting these thoughts

I'm totally with Coy on this.. be assertive and push to see an OBGYN before you go on your vacation. Keep calling around until you find one that will see you. Or keep pestering the one you want to see.

Be happy about this, be cautious, but be happy! Plus how much better of a present can you give your DH than a positive pregnancy test on Valentines Day!

Thank-you for taking the time to give incouraging words Coy I know you are a busy Mom! They are very positive thoughts so appreciated I am so happy to have friends that I can share with. I wish I had known you all the first time I had my bfp. I baked cupscakes and will stick a note in one saying "we're pregnant" for Dh. He always eats dessert before dinner so should work I am so hungry today! Lobster for Valentine's is a warm food. Acupuncturist says it is good for conceiving. Is it safe to eat during early pregnancy?

I did some research and it sounds like cooked lobster is fine! The cupcakes sound awesome! What an amazing way to celebrate Valentines day.

I just got another positive. It looks liek the one this morning!! YAY! I got a green line when i entered positive test in data and FF said congratulations! Asked if I wanted to share with the FF community but I hit no. Too scared to do that lol. I am quite happy to share just with you ladies and Dh for now

 

[twiggers]

So have you told DH yet? Or are you going to wait until tonight? OMG I wish I were a fly on the wall..

 

[never_give_up]

I meant to say positive results data in bbt chart

OBGYN's offices are not open on the weekend. That leaves only tomorrow

This still doesn't feel real! 3 whole years! I feel like Cinderella. Just hope my coach doesn't turn back into a pumpkin ...

OBGYN's offices are not open on the weekend. That leaves only tomorrow. Dh drove in to work today. If he had taken the metro I would have gone to the walk-in clinic today.

Nope haven't told him yet. I waited 3 years I can wait a few more hours to see the expression on his face!!

Chantal- yay another positive!!!

Where's my pic? lol!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Yep, I made cupcakes too- chocolate cupcakes and sugar cookies with hearts...more for the dd's than anything. They love to celebrate things Especially when they come with sweets...

Today is a great day, what an awesome day for getting BFP!

Chantal- do you live in town or suburb?

Cream cheese filled chocolate cupcakes. I use to use a marble in the cupcake tin to form a heart shape but Dh gave away the marbles to a kid not knowing what I used them for so not heart shape this year but the paper cups have hearts on them at least. Dh said not to bake him anything since he still has birthday cake in the fridge but when do I ever listen to his advice in the kitchen lol Never! I live in the suburbs of Baltimore Coy. The city has one of the highest crime rates. I have curlers in my hair. Now I can't go for my walk and it is sunny out. Did I tell you all it snowed last night on Dh's birthday? The sun is melting it all away..

So happy for you! It will be an awesome moment when you get to tell DH tonight! I still think I would keep calling and MAKE them see you! Some walk-in clinics are open until later or even 24 hours. I'd do what you can to get some blood drawn and your basic questions answered like if it is ok to fly, etc. Those kinds of answers could probably be found at the walk-in clinic. I know the one by me is open 8-8 365 days a year. So maybe you just pop the news to your DH and rush to the clinic? That is what I would do, then you'd have the results by tomorrow and be all set for your vacation.

Going to talk with my Mom on skype but not telling her till we get to Barbados just in case. She cried when I had a miscarriage and she wasn't getting her grandchild.

I wish all you ladies a wonderful Valentine's day and night and thanks again for all your support and encouraging words! I will update tomorrow!

 

[never_give_up]

That sounds like a good plan Ali! The clinic is open till 8 pm so hopefully Dh will get home in time!

Hm...looking at my chart I got a temp spike this morning had me thinking maybe I had ov'd already...but no positive opk's! Now, today- I get what appears to be a positive opk and I am getting sharp ov pains.

Wonder why the temp spike??
