Feisty Fabulous Forty somethings - part 2

Glad you enjoyed them Curly .Voddy used to be my choice of drink until i blacked out big time about 7 years ago at my friends house!!! Scared me to death i had no recollection of anything for about 12 hours that was the end of that!!! Mmmm...voddy and red bull... so i ll drink it through you CurlY .

Don t worry Hip i ll be testing as soon as present from Amazon arrives probably from cd 6,bring it on.

Right off, got last counselling session then out for tea with friends.Have a good day all.See you later XXXX

morning curls how are you doing?

lou crossed posts. Glad you got AF (you know what i mean). I told you she was coming! Please please please start the smiley faces early this month - I can't bare the suspense if you miss it

Hippy holds her head and sticks her sunglasses on.... ohhhhh my head!

Seriously though, had a great night with you guys .

I think I tried about 3 times to add a message to the old thread before I worked out what was going on then I wandered about looking for the new thread - so i'm here and I'm marking my place.

The spotting has increased so AF is defo on her way although I wouldn't count this as CD1 yet - IYSWIM.

Well at least with all these people getting AF now - our DH's are guaranteed a shag for valentines day . Odd that so many of us are syncronised - just like the nuns!

My latest thoughts are these:- When i first had the two losses I was so desperate to be pregnant agaian and could not face the fact that we might not have another baby. Now it's been 8 months since the last loss and i am feeling better about getting AF, I wasn't upset when i realised we hadn't hit the jackpot this month just a bit pissed off. Anyway, I feel I am at a place where if we were defo not gonna have another baby I would HONESTLY be ok about it (maybe just a bit wistful and melancholy but not devastated).

Now what is worrying me is this:- what if i get preggers again and then lose that one too - especially if it's a later loss or i need an EPRC - will I then go back to being desperate to be preggers again? Do you see what i mean? Shoud I stop now whilst I'm ok about it and also very distracted by the whole 'start a new life in the country' thing? I know that only I can decide that and you will all have different feelings on the subject (especially as some of you are in a different emotional place to me). But just wondered if you had any thoughts. God, I do waffle when i want to, don't I?

Oh thought you 'd all left me!!!! Just because i party pooped out early last night!!! The sight of the "laydees" "dancing" around their handbags was just too much!!! Then seeing that Jolls chucking nuts down her throat well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Won t do any harm for another swi if you can tonight Jolls...Hope your ds is ok? XX

Hi to everyone else xxx

Well, i LOVE my body Got my af here Now cd1 so alls good to go again.Just ordered a bumper pack of 20 smiley face opks.

Febuary will be OUR month girls I know it.

No SWI here last night as DS woke just as we were off to bed, so I ended up with the hot breath on my cheek and the iron-clamped embrace of a 2 year old for most of the night. Not quite what I had in mind . It's probably too late for another SWI tonight (CD15) so am likely to be pulling the drawbridge up for another pointless and fruitless and depressing 2ww.

Hope everyone ok and not too many sore heads this morning - you ok Hippy??

Bloody Hell! That was a friggin' marathon to catch up with you lot. Looks like I'll have to swig half a bottle of Bombay Saphire to catch up!

Oh Big Fat Bugger, Curly. That totally sucks, when you had your hopes up. Don't give up sweetie, it will happen.

And that goes for the rest of you - it will happen - hang in there and SWI with gusto!

I'm gearing up for that myself. God, I hope I ovulate before the 15th as my DH is off on a school camp for two nights. I really wish I had a CBFM now. I sold it after having Charlie, thinking I'd never need it again. Grr, wish I'd hung onto it.Now I think, Oh I won't buy one cos I'll be up the duff this month...I've thought that for some time now, and don't know if it is worth buying another. It takes weeks to get here, as they aren't sold in Australia, and I have to get it from the US.Then you have to buy the sticks.It really adds up with postage.So I stick to OPKs and wish I still had the monitor!

Curly, if you join Fertility Friend, it will run you through a crash course on temping etc and then you'll be the full bottle like us old temperees.

Deige are you taking B6? I think it is meant to help with LP length?

I've been reading up on it, and I think acupuncture and chinese herbs may help. Randine Lewis says the LP is influenced by what happens in the first part of the cycle and it relates to estrogen. Can't recall all the details, but she makes suggestions for fixing by tonifying the kidney and spleen - taking things like royal jelly, blue-green algae, wheatgrass,fish oil, dark green vegies and green tea. She also suggests that you stay away from dairy products and cold foods. But that's just the Traditional Chinese way of looking at it.

I'm going back to acupuncture soon. I should go before the next ovulation, so better hop to it.

Better go, have neglected DS for long enough I think!

Hellooooo-oooo....Let's carry on with the drinking curly! Let's get the last of the bombay mix before the others get here
