To keep this thread going, proving support to all of those of a 'riper vintage' wishing for a baby...

I have received so much help, advice and support here, so although I technically have graduated, I thought I'd get the next thread going to keep the momentum.

Willitbe....how many weeks are you??

Should we do a count of how many preggers ATM we have in our mist??? Might motivate others... ( tell me off if I am wrong)

sigh I'm getting very mild AF cramps & have been for a couple of days. Not due til weds so I'm still hoping it's 'nestling in' sensations!! Accidently popped in to superdrug to buy a couple of tests today but will not test til Wednesday. Ahem.
I have been peeing on cheapy ov sticks though. Not a sign of a line. Dtd loads this month, had acupuncture & used preseed!! I think it's going to hit me hard this month. Boo hoo x

Inshock73 · 08/02/2014 15:07

Hi all, thanks for starting up the new thread JBrd, I want to stick with the cheerleading squad!

Am I right in thinking a few amongst us are now expecting??

willitbe · 08/02/2014 14:23

Morien - wow your due date came round fast (or perhaps that is just me feeling time is flying!) I hope that the LO doesn't keep you waiting too much longer. And look forward to hearing your announcement. Thanks

hi Deige and notsoold Wine

Irishmammy - how are you doing?

JBd - think I will be keeping you company on other threads for a bit. When is your first scan?

Gum - just in case you are lurking, I am thinking of you, and hope that the stepping away from ttc is going ok for you. Thanks

Sandgrown - I have just got a natural conception now age 46, but I can't say it was netball for me Grin

Hi to everyone else, I hope this thread brings you all BFP's soon.

Morien · 08/02/2014 11:12

Another cheerleader here! Here's hoping this new thread will bring lots of BFPs.

It's my due date tomorrow - don't think LO knows that though...

Cali, congratulations on your new job Thanks

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

JollyJollyWellGoingForIt · 08/02/2014 08:34

Well done CaliBee. Thankyou all cheerleaders Smile we need you! I'm sobbing into my cornflakes this morning. The exciting temp rise on CD28 has been followed by a precipitous drop today, CD29. It can only be AF now, after I was so happy yesterday thinking this was my month!

Tadpole2013 · 08/02/2014 08:05

Good morning, fab forty plusses!

Congrat CaliBee!

sand great inspiration! My gynae said I can confidently try up to 45! I thought he was taking the piss!

Hi diege!

jass43 · 08/02/2014 07:30

Found you! hey to cheerleading team! And good luck with new great job, Calibee! something to keep your mind focussed elsewhere and while I am totally not of the school "it will happen when you do not have time to think of it " I believe having a good distraction while ttc is good for staying sane!

my distraction is bad back pain at the moment. It helps to be reminded of the advanced age when you are still ttc at 44:-))) Am also considering going low carb, but am slightly afraid of getting the diet mentality.....

sandgrown · 08/02/2014 07:13

Good luck all. I had a natural conception at 45. I put it down to playing netball for years!Smile

Irishmammybread · 08/02/2014 07:08

Hope this thread is lucky for everyone trying for a BFP!
Another cheer leader here!
Congratulations on your new job CaliBee x

calibee · 08/02/2014 07:02

Jusy saying hello. Not a lot to report here...10dpo...no symptoms. Some good news though....i've been offereda great job. I'm just waiting on my start date.

diege · 08/02/2014 06:58

How are things notsoold?? Smile

notsoold · 07/02/2014 23:01

May I mark my place as cheerleader with diege ???

diege · 07/02/2014 20:24

Marking my place too as one of the resident cheerleading team Smile

Grizzer · 07/02/2014 20:22

I'm here too! Thanks JBrd 12dpo for me. Have had some back ache & indigestion today so started wondering.... Really need to start keeping note of these things because it probably happens every month but I push it to the back of mind & start each month like it's my first!! Stupid stupid x

Tadpole2013 · 07/02/2014 12:08

Thank you, JBrd!
Just marking my place.
;)

JollyJollyWellGoingForIt · 07/02/2014 09:17

Thankyou JBrd for the new thread and for your good wishes. I can't bring myself to test yet. I think I'm going to wait another day, although that may change as I get more impatient! I do rather like the term 'riper vintage' Smile
