Over 40 ttc - summer baby dust for me!

Live close... we were close but he's being my mums puppet at mo... so he needs to grow up a bit..

I know what you mean @BooseysMom very supportive netmums family.. so Sharon apparently had a Wicca spellcast by her emmerdale friend.. Samantha Giles?? Now my best f is also a Wicca and has made me some lovely oils and I have crystals by my bed.. that I re top up the energy every full moon..
but it happened for her and for lousie deleamere ( actress from no Angels.. ) also 46 and not ttc.. so it does happen.. I also take comfort from the young folk ttc for 2 years.. and with the odd except celeb couples do admit to it taking longer than expected.. although I've been ttc for 2.5 years there have been aspects of that time that haven't been healthy body or mind.. so I have in my head reset the clock to this jan.. as have made a lot of changes since then and a better mindset.. I put a lot of stress on my sis and I ttc at the same time which I'm sure wasn't healthy. She is due and although it is hard my bro is being a f..Witt at the mo so that makes it easier.. we don't like close so it's not in my face and I can reduce the pressure on myself.
we have had a stressful 1st yr of a new business and lots of challenges.. but other half still on the same page re ttc.. although a bit emotionally a bit dim sometimes.. think they just like the dtd bit.. not the hormones highs and lows that come with it..
feeling more philosophical today as af eases and another cycle starts..
big hugs and lots of positive baby making thoughts and dust showered put to you all lovely ladies 💕💕💕💕💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sorry meant to say Orchid not Cleo. I feel as if i know you all now. I talk about you to DH and i swear he thinks i'm mad but it's like a sort of family here. Certainly more supportive than many members of my family irl who are totally useless and couldn't give a flying fcuk about anyone but themselves! !

Morning ladies and thank you Monday, Chat & Cleo for your encouragement. We managed to dtd and i had def ewcm! It's too much to hope for after over 2 years of ttc which is why i try so hard to not get too obsessed by it. . easier said than done as we all know! Awake really early today. The news about the boys trapped in the cave all being rescued is great but appalling about the rape and murder of that poor 6 year old girl. It just doesn't make any sense that can happen and makes you extra wary of letting children out of your sight. I hope they lynch the boy who did it.
Sorry for the depressing start to the day. I shouldn't watch the news. Just too upsetting. Those poor parents. How is everyone today?

@BooseysMom go for it

Lol. thanks Mellon. 😃 i'm having to have a teeny weeny drinky to give me that get up n go!! But the next challenge to get thru is getting DS in bed and asleep and by the time that happens i'm too knackered to do anything and my get up n go has got up n gone!!
Anyway ... Sorry tmi alert!!.. My ewcm has now turned thick and clotty and i have cramps. Wondering if i'm still ovulating ?

Enjoy your evening @Booseymum!

Go for it @BooseysMom !!!! 👍🤞

Chat. .thanks for the msg about
Sharon Marshall.. Wow..46!! That's my age. I wonder if it was natural. Hope you're feeling better now? I'm def ovulating now i reckon. Dtd last night and will need to pin DH down tonight too if there's any chance of me joining Sharon Marshall!! Got to give it my best shot as ivf is a no go for us.

Well I'm having a "no period, no pregnancy" kind of day! I'm never late so this has freaked me out! (I'm 1 day late, hardly huge) alarm bells say menopause!!! I know this is ridiculous

Chat - yes I saw her on telly when she was pregnant, she couldn't look happier if she tried. I wonder if that was natural or IVF?

Monday - yes thats my guessing too, weekend and early next week, assuming we ov around cd14 (which I have been recently)

Orchid - yes my 1st LP after MC was the same as before, next one was a day less though.
Interestingly, looking back, the 1st cycle that I did TCM my LP was 2 days longer (it's been 11 days for a while now and that cycle it was 13) and the 2nd cycle of TCM was BFP. 1st after mc was 11 and the 2nd I did an experiment to see if it was the B complex that extended my LP or the TCM. LP was 10 for the first time ever, so it clearly wasn't the b complex. Going to go back to TCM in sept as that clearly worked for me

Sharon Marshall the soap lady off this morning has just had her first baby at 46!!!! Keep rockin that lady... positive news!! Whoop whoop

Cleo - am cd5 today. Realised this morning I needed to refresh my ov symptoms knowledge so that was my commute read so by my reckoning we should be having a busy weekend / early next week along with all the usual stuff.

No Cleozeta I'm just clutching at straws in my head...

Thats great orchid, I won't worry too much then!

How is everyone today? I am cd6 and getting impatient for fw now. Hoping ov goes smoothly this cycle as I don't want any dramas on holiday

Thanks thats good to know. I've never flown with suppliments before and I know they can be picky about a lot of things! I guess I can put them in the hold?

Chat - I have only ever conceived in spring, so hope I'm not out now until next spring!! All my babies were winter babies,
DS was born in November, DD in January, and the one I lost would have been December.

@Cleozeta I'd keep them in their bottle/container then they can see exactly what you are carrying.. but yes my in laws must rattle when they fly as they are on so many things
All but one of my babies are spring and onwards babies.. so I have conceived from now onwards with previous pregs... maybe I need the vit d... looming nephews arrival isn't helping.. but we are away for due date so thankfully can ease myself into the hoopla xx

Chat that does sound like a really crap day. You are right it's been a pretty shit month for all of us I think!
It must be pre payment for an awsome month with loads of bfp's in July/Aug

I used to get by ubiquinol from woods suppliments, 100mgs, they regularly have offers on, like 3 for 2. I've just moved over to solgar ubiquinol from ebay, more expensive but I get 200mg capsules.

I'm going on holiday to spain in 2 weeks, do you reckon its ok to fly with suppliments? Would security be picky? I'll probably only take ubiquinol, b complex and pre conceptions. Maybe wheatgrass capsules

@Hobbes39 is 200mgs the recommendation dose?

Hobbes39 thank you... what is it about this month.. it has been pants for all of us....
