More ongoing and continuing conceptions and follicling ahead of Feisty, Fabulous Forty somethings

hello all and no not been watching X factor ( boring i know) just lurking

it's my birthday today ( groan) and i am not happy to be one year less likely to concieve.....

my ds justrang up after his first week at university and i talked to him for an hour then cried for the same

anyway - all is good.

galwaygal did you get your AMH result?

I am on 2ww and so far resisted my 2dpo testing - am up to about 8 or 9 now but absolutley NADA symptoms

usually have drawers full of amazing ( imported) pg tests but have run out so cant mess about wasting money
will try to hang on - who else is on 2ww??

Oh, and rubbish weather, foggy or something.

Hi all,
Deige I will look out for the rubbing. Yes my DP retired to bed for a week when he had a virus last year. It was a horrible virus, but when he passed it on to me, do you think I retired to bed for a week?! (crazed laughter)
DS insists that I do a and then giggles, sooo funny, hooo hooo!

Morning! Rowing watch out for the breast-rubbing (of the dancers) at the very end of Wagner's performance. Very bizarre!
In fact the dds are watching the end of last night's show on ITV1 now, as I made them go up a 9 - the Wagner bit is just coming on now
Dh very hungover ; has taken to his bed, natch, while I struggle on with the LOs despite being awake since 3am with dd3 and her 'shadow fear' . I am storing up credits anyway that I will be spending over the next few weeks.
Hope everyone is ok! Lovely weather here today

Sorry, when I say I haven't seen X-Factor yet, what I mean is I have just started watching it.
Deige it wasn't the clinic's fault, it was the fault of my ears who didn't hear the date, just the day. I'm going to punish them later for letting me down.
And also punishing my metabolism for not burning off all my fat whilst I sleep.

Hi all,

Jolls He's your boyfriend, you love him!

Deige, eh!? What breast rubbing? I haven't seen it yet, recorded it. I am hoping your comment about Katie means what I think it means...[huge smug grin]
Do you think Cheryl didn't pick Gamu because she couldn't patronise her and mother her?
Nice trowel-job on Cheryl's make-up tonight. Haven't seen blusher like that since the seventies.

Me too, I look forward to it all week . I have a feeling Mr. Wagner will be kept in, Jedward style, for several weeks .
Right, bed for me! See you all tomorrow snugsters!

he is one SCARY man....

it has been a VERY high standard I think (Wagner excluded obviously!)... couple of the groups a bit shaky but not as weak as previous years.... GOD I LOVE X FACTOR..... ...

A smack indeed Jollster. In the word of dd1, ewwwwwww!!!!! And what was that breast-rubbing by the dancers at the end?? Mary all the way, plus I'm cross that I actually liked that spoilt brat of a drama queen (Katy?). Have to say Simon is looking mighty fine tonight - you'll welcome to Mr Earthy Wagner Jollster

x-factor!!!!!!!!!!!

helllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... anybody out there?

All out having a life?
Glued to X Factor?
Surely not SWI????

Catch you tomorrow xx

Oh no Galwaygirl . I'll make you up a warming batch of chicken soup . Hope you get throguh it ok and see you back very soon x

Sorry to have missed the feast last night, I think you would prefer me to stay away right now though as I have man-flu (ok just a horrible headcold,that still means I have to get on with everything that needs doing!). But as I don't want to pass on the germs here into the snug, I will go to bed and come back in a day or so when I am feeling better.

Not seen that programme, though there was a similar one on here a few weeks ago that looked at pregnancy at different ages. The 40 plus woman (who wasn't a 'good' 40 iyswim) also had a complicated pregnancy and delivery . So were the troops in place then Gum? .
I broached the having another baby conversation this morning with dh after he said, out of the blue, 'It would be cheaper to get a kitten you know' . Turns out he's worried about money, in relation to the recent child benefit stuff that's going on (in UK Gum!)but have managed to assure him that in the great scheme of things bringing another life into the wrold is in a different class to worrying about money. We both have very good wages (hence the worry as we're borderline losing the benefit - perhaps rightly but then do do rely on it to help with the £1, 500 childcare a month ) Anyway, he says he's happy to carry on trying, but will be happy too if things don't happen (not quite as happy I hope ) so all good for now anyway . Men eh!

It's not fair - you all ate while I was in bed sleeping! I'll just have to have a lovely breakfast. If I followed that 21 day fertility challenge, I'd be drinking 4 cups of water for breakfast! I just can't do that much water first thing. I might manage a glass, but I just have to have my muesli, toast and tea, so the water will have to wait.

I've had a nice big temp jump this morning.But always do at this time, so am not thinking it is anything special, just glad I'm still ovulating.

I worked out that if I have a 5% chance of conceiving at my age, then I have to ttc for 20 months to have a hope! Bloody hell...Hopefully it'll be a bit quicker than that.

I watched a show called the seven ages of pregnancy.It is a british show, so you may have seen it. It wasn't terribly positive about having a baby after 40.And of course the 40 year old who had her first baby had complications. Why didn't they have one with a complication free pregnancy? A bit annoying. But seeing the births just made me cry.It's a bit weird not knowing if I'll get another go at it...

Rowing, my wee boy has lately turned into a bloody handful! He's no prodigy, but has recently flourished with his vocabulary.We all love it - it is very cute. However, we spend an awful lot of time being frustrated by his desire for all things technology in our house. And he just won't take no for an answer.It means loads of tears and whinging!(both of us)

I'm glad the weather is magic at the moment so we can spend time outside and at the beach. I just keep hoping I'll wear him out. Putting him down for a sleep has also become really difficult.

I love him to bits, but I'd really like a well-behaved little girl this time!You know I'll be happy with a boy again, and he'd be great company for Charlie, but I'd like an easier time of it!Especially as I'll be really old by the time the next one is two!

Well Deige, it looks like it is nearly time for your shag-fest. I hope you are getting ready - stretching, practicing yoga poses etc...

Right, kitchen closed! You'll have to wait till next Friday's gourmet night at the snug bistro Hippy! Night all x

Thanks Diege, that was fab!
Good to see you Hippy

night all

Have managed to put off dtd till Sunday (he's out tomnorrow) Phew!
Kitchen's still open Hippy if you fancy anything?

You lot are so funny. Have a lovely vision of you all dining on the patio and discussing vits .

diege a shag on CD7 - is he mad???????

xxx mwaw mwaw mwaw - air kisses for all.

Ok, ok, bread on the table, camembert on its way, ditto sea bass In a life imitating art way dh has actually gone to get me chicken chop suey, though he has an ulterior motive
muchlove I also have one of those bellies!Re; vits, I got the fertility plus and the omega ones - I like the peppermint flavour when they repeat on you , and am always a bit worried that regular omegas might not be right when ttc-ing after a woman from Holland and Barrat scared me off . I also take agnus castus, but wasn't tempted by MG ones what with them being double the price. Oh and my fertlity plus ones always taste odd - maybe it's a preg symtom if you've found a change?
Oh and thanks for the website link Alba - I see Zita also does cheaper supplements for the masses
Off to do the bottles before second Corrie - poor Jack! (after I've sorted the orders of course!)

Alrighty can I please have :

Olives and mixed bread to start
Seabass (grilled) with seasonal veg and hand cut chips
A nice crisp (really cold) Chablis

Some nice chilled-out bar sounds

Oh yeah and a tent-style top so I can let me gut 4 kids potbelly hangout

DIEGE is that a 2 month supply for the womens fertility ones ? I don't buy the Omega and Vit C from there anymore coz it was all too much..... I just get the womens fert and buy the other stuff from (healthspan.co.uk) but I just ordered a 2 month supply from MG and don't know if they have changed them but they have a very strange smell that Iv'e not noticed before ???? Weird .......
I've been taking Pycnogenol(an antioxidant)which is suppose to be good aswell also purchased from the above site.........

xx

Not trying to be sophisticated... Just the only way I can indulge in both those right now is virtually.... Please just indulge me and pretend it's a breeze?? [begging emoticon]
