2023 TTC 35+ Part 6

Thank you

Awww

Happy New Year
@SouthwestSis the weather is dreadful isn't it? We took the trees down today and got everywhere cleaned and tidy. DS is a bit confused though bless him and thinks we were cleaning the house so it was tidy for Santa 🤣

Happy new year all!
I'm D10PO today and resisting the urge to test, wish we could go out so I was distracted but yet another day bucketing with rain. Going to turn focus to cleaning and tidying the house instead to get us off to a good start in 2024.

Happy new year.. am hoping this one is better. New year new thread does sound good lol
@worldwidetravel2017 i didnt have any plans nye.. stayed up till midnight was an achievement for me lol watched a horror with my eldest then there was lots of fireworks at 12 🙂

Ohh amazing! Fingers crossed !! Xx

PS The dates add up and everything 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

I like the idea of a new year, new thread.

Wishing you all a wonderful, healthy and Happy New Year with many sticky beans. Thank you all for your kindness and support over the last year.

Just to get this out there first so that hopefully I at least start out sounding a little less crazy when the newbies join the next thread…. Spotting today. Implantation bleeding…??? 😂

Seems apt that the thread is almost full at the end of 2023. Lovely to see a few got their BFP. Hoping 2024 will bring many more. Appreciate all the support even though I'm new to the group 😊

Does someone want to start a new "2024 TTC 35+" sometime tomorrow?

Thank you

Have an ace nye

We are off out @ 10pm

Massive congratulations @Khanga27 and @JC084 . Wishing you healthy sticky babies and easy pregnancies.
I would try not too worry too much about the dye stealer. Could be early implantation, twins or just a good rise in hormones. Maybe book an early scan for reassurance or ask nhs if they will do one.

Happy belated birthday @worldwidetravel2017 and @SnookyPook

And a happy new year everyone. Wishing you all good health and the arrival of your long awaited bundles of joy

Happy New Year everyone. Thanks for the invaluable support this year.

@VixFromThe6ix what lovely words and yes, wishing the same for everyone - healthy rainbow babies all round 🙏🏼🌈💕

@worldwidetravel2017 you've had a lot to contend with this year. I'll be trying to eat a bit better in Jan but do find it hardest over winter.

@VixFromThe6ix Happy New Year to you too, I hope that you're doing well.

A big thank you to you all for your support this year. It's certainly been a rollercoaster for so many of us and I really hope 2024 is much kinder 🙏

Thank you @VixFromThe6ix

Wishing everyone a very happy new year x

Thank you @VixFromThe6ix
Wishing you and yours and everyone the very best too

Id love to be 11 , 11 again

April 2022 i was under 12 stone - just

However - the last 12 months - grandads death , early miscarriage,
Many urgent 2 ww ,
Cfs diagnosis etc
And then may 2022 / june 2022 - very sick with ebv / glandular fever took their toll

Id love to lose a stone and a half

Realistically - id be happy if i lost half a stone by March

I start a new job in feb so that will help

And thank u

@worldwidetravel2017 the bmi thing irritates me too, I always joke my boobs must account for at least half a stone 😂😂 I try not to weigh myself if I can but last time I did I was 11 stone 11 pounds. Which is still around a stone heavier than I was before having my son. My boobs and body shape have naturally changed loads though so don't know if I'd look right losing loads more.

Glad you had a good birthday, sounds like you had the relaxing day you deserved 😊

One of my partners - friends - wives - just had her first at 39..

Gives me hope - when i worry over now being 37

Tricky tricky

I dont have access to it yet and earliest id be taking it would potentially be next spring

Its just when i or they havent yet found a progesterone spike , - i question if thats an issue

Particularly when for a few ' reasons ' - 'im currently overweight and i read online that progesterone is often an issue for those who are over weight and those who are under weight

Last time on scales i was 13 stone 10..

Bmi annoys me in that using just height and weight - they dont consider boob / chest size etc

I hope u have some easier , gentler times soon

:)
Hope u have a lovely nye

Yes

Obviously i dont always do it on ' day 21 ' .as for example - mu jul and Aug cycle aug variation and ovulation tracking - meant one of those id ovulated by / around day 21 - one i hadnt

Day 21 = 4 ish days after ovulation.

My medical records state my hormone n fertility bloods were all good - as per summer ..
Im guna ask them next week - if - given its 5 months since ' summer - if theres any hormone ones NHS would / will test before we try again in march

I do want them to test progesterone on NHS - if it comes to me paying 40 gbp x2 to super drug to test it twice in jan n feb - i will

Having had the sept early miscarriage - im anxious // nervous re trying again
But - i remind myself we could of just beem unlucky - -
And one miscarriage doesnt necessarily mean lots more etc

Are you doing anything for nye tonight ?

We are guna go out 4 a couple of hrs from 10pm ish - a little social..
Im tired and have a very busy week next week..
Hosp bloods jan 3rd linked to b12 etc too.

What a year
But i had a nice birthday yesterday - my partner took me shopping - and 4 lunch and 4 a walk etc and we got cheesecake ( free!) And a ( free ) drink thanks to various marketing emails
& then watching the voice together
And we were ' naughty ' - having yummy chicken Kiev - i normally avoid meat in bread crumbs now due to my liver issues.

Eating low fat soup most days and iron rich cereal with iron rich fruit added ( for 2 of my 3 meals a day)

Loving my exercise bike
& whilst i haven't been on the scales in the last week - i had lost a few pounds the week before

Awaiting the date for my next ' near future colonoscopy ( jan or Feb hopefully) - they know we are guna try and concieve from march ish
And waiting a date 4 my ' smart ish ' liver fibro scan
And have to chase gynae again next week

@worldwidetravel2017 hope easyer times are coming your way, think out of all of us you deserve a break x the progesterone from superdrug, is it the same theory as testing on day 21 to see if you ovulated? Its 9mths now ttc after the mmc. Had a couple of day 21s done and got another one to do in feb with an amh one. Had my shbt done a couple times too as thats been low. Testosterone normal androgen index normal. So that ones out of place. Oestradial was low on day 2 though too. Got a bunch done on hertility after seeing you mention it too. Really impressed with them.
