Feisty Fabulous Forty somethings - part 2

[Curlylox]

woohoo over here

Just a quickie to share more good news, dp asked me to marry him today !!!

lots of tonight !!!!

Hi Oooohshiny

xx

Oh my goodness congratulations Panashe How did he propose? Will order in an extra crate of champagne for tonight, with a few diet cokes for LOu
Welcome ooohshiny - Your stay here may well be short if your symptoms prove correct!
Food-wise I'm having something chinese I think - I'll order chicken chop suey with prawn crackers, lemoncake for pudding, and some crispy seaweed for a side order. Followed by a large hot chocloate with cream and a flake.

Oooh congratulations Panashe how lovely

Diege....your chinese sounds fabulous.....I think I'll be having dry toast tonight the way I'm feeling

At least I only have another couple of days to wait for AF and test if need be

Champagne sounds good !!! Thanks diege

Am afraid the proposal wasn't anything spectacular but as totally unexpected I was over the moon :)

we were lay in bed snuggled up and he had my hand in his and slipped ring on and asked me to marry him. Got silly smiley face. xx

Congratulations and celebrations Panashe! What a wonderful end to February with lou's news and yours too..........could we perhaps do a hat trick......anyone else have spectacular news???!!!!

Erm diege and gum have been temping with FF and my temp is coming down so does that mean that af is definitely coming (won't bother waste a test if that's the case)?

My order for later is Greek again: calamari, stuffed olives, kofte, dolmades, houmous, pitta bread, tzatziki, taramasalata, rice, salad, chicken and lamb shish basically a meze all washed down with a bottle of rose...yum.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! quick post : going out now.

Anyone here had implantation bleeding? Just been to the loo and wiped some pink cm ....Is it too late for this? or could it be ok? .........Don t know as it would even be too early for my af .i m only on cd 23 today.

Congrats Panashe

Going out now i ll keep an eye on things and i guess just hope i ve never had implantation bleeding before.All i can do and re-test in next couple of days.

Sounds like implantation spotting to me Lou (have had it with 2 out of 4 pregnancies). Week before af due with dd3 and 6 weeks preg with dd1. Implantation is a process and not a single event, hence why many women get it throughout early pregnancy. I'd say the fact that your lines are getting stronger is very positive and I genuinely think things will be fine for you x
Curly re: low temps, it depends where you are in your cycle and how low low is. Ie. common to have a mid-lp dip (7-10 days post-ov) that rises the next day if pregnant (sometimes) or sort of gets progressively lower if not. If it drops below the coverline (ie, to pre-ov temps) it tends to suggest that things are over for that month and af will start either the same day or a few days after. None of this is exact I find (my temp sometimes shoots up and then af starts same day) and the only way really to get an idea of how your temps work is to keep it going for at least 3 mths.
That actually sounds a lovely proposal Panashe gave me a warm glow and a smile when I read oohshiny dry toast sounds good in a 'I'm pregnant' way . I think you need to test tomorrow

Thanks Diege XXXXX phew....
No more bleeding now just the tinyest amount of pink tinged cm.God this is a bloody rollercoaster.Do you think if i ve got implantation "it" stands a better chance???
Previously when i ve had CPs my tests have been very faint and have shown neg prior to bleeding.

Anyone got a time machine? Can you move me foreward 9 months please??????

Hi oohshiny welcome XXX

Massive congrats Panashe sorry too worried earlier to respond properly.Lovely news.How long you been together? Have you set a date? Will you get married in the UK or abroad?

Questions,questions,questions.....

Again thanks Diege you ve put my mind at rest a little!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for responding so quickly.XXX

Hello all. sorry I've been missing in action. A very busy half term here. Firstly let me give lou a big old hug. I think if the line is still getting darker then you're ok lovey. Pink is not usually a worry.

Many moons ago I had a pink streak one week before my af was due and thought all was over and then no af arrived and that little pink streak will be 11 years old soon Having said that I got a tiny pink streak on tueday morning this week which was also over a week before af is due so I'm hoping that was something trying to implant too.

My boobs are feeling very much like someone elses but I'm not listening to them anymore. I will be testing towards the end of next week if no af has arrived before that. I would be honoured to do the journey with you lou if that's what is meant for us - time will tell.

panashe lovely news about the proposal - i got quite emotional just reading about it. Bless you both. I'm sure you'll be getting another pregnancy soon.

nicole hope you're ok, matey.

italian I LOVE that film it is almost my favorite. I'm reading the book on and off at the moment. Remember before I said I wanted to adopt Jaden Smith (he still hasn't got back to me about that )

Lots of love to everyone else. I will try to be on here more next week when I've not got two great big lads to keep busy.

mwah mwah.

ps. diege please surprise me in the bistro - you always make good choices which i like .

right
I fancy some pan fried scallops (like you can fry them in something other than a pan ) with a little garlic and lemon. On a bed of rocket. With a tomato salad.
And then... a vanilla pannacotta with some berries on the side.

And a VERY large glass of OBSB pls.

lou, you've got really strong lines at a very early stage. That's the thing to focus on. A bit of pink is very common at the stage you're at.

panashe awwwww :).

hippy have missed you x

wave to all

CD10, so more SWI tonight. Oh hurrah.

Just popped in for a quick catch up and have every finger, toe and legs crossed for you Louisesh!

Love to everyone - off to have a browse back through a very, very long thread. Been away too long. But couldn't resist a quick woooo hoooo for Louisesh.

PS good luck with the SWI tonight Jollster - have an extra glass of OBSB for luck!

Big Congratulations Panashe, how romantic and lovely! Tell us all your plans.

Lou a bit of pink is usually absolutely nothing to worry about. Try to relax.Stay hydrated. I'm sure it will all be fine.

Hippy - that sounds promising - hope it is! And Deige too. How exciting.

I reckon RTD will join me tomorrow.If it doesn't then I'll be glad to have a longer LP, but not holding out hope for a bfp - because I haven't had a + test yet and that would mean a late implanter, which doesn't bode well for a strong pregnancy.

There I go again over-thinking everything!I asked my acupuncturist to help me with that, but she only did a gentle acupuncture session because I was in the luteal phase and strong acupuncture can be bad for a possible pregnancy. I did come away feeling very relaxed and even happy for a bit, but the next day was feeling a bit low again. Pissed off that I should be half way through my pregnancy...but most of you know how that feels. Like Hippy said, I'll pass the milestones and I'll survive....

Fatlady, please remind me where you are at? Have you recently had a baby? Can you remind me of a few things - your age, how long it took to get pregnant etc(if you don't mind me being so nosy!)

Hi all

Bloomin' heck, disappear off for a day and it?s one wedding and a bfp!

Louise, whoopie whoopie, whoopie

Panashe congratulations on the wedding proposal. I love weddings and it has been almost a year since I went to one, so shall I buy a big hat!

I'll have what Curly is having for a starter, what Jolls if having for main course and what Louise is having pregnancy result wise!

Welcome OooohShiny, hope you will be only here for a short time; you are so young compared to me!

I had a massive migraine yesterday and felt ill, so won?t stay up for too long tonight!

Love to you all Alba, Muchlove, BB, Hippy, Lol, Diege, Nicole, Hopefulgum, Tina09, Lia* and all- sorry if I missed anyone.

Waves and baby dust to all.

Gum big hugs to you, thanks again for recommending that book, that I mentioned, it was helpful, why not re-read it for inspiration! i am so darn bossy!

Louise special hug for you, you are special, take it one day at a time. Thinking of you.

thefatladyscreams lovely to see you again, hope it is all going well.

Hippy my mum always says "Listen to your body" for not eating too much but I've never heard anyone say "Listen to your boobs!"

well I did a test this morning :( no BFP - DP picked up a clearblue last night for me as he was more desperate than me to find out.

Oh well

Morning all :)

OooohShiny bfn are crappy but until af arrives you still may have a chance especially with your symptoms.

Lou hope you ok this morning and that you enjoyed your diet cokes !!
hippy you sound very calm and patient ?

Hope you ok hopeful

Thanks for all your congratulations am still a bit shocked and dp has gone off to work leaving me with it all spinning round my head. I like weddings too Italain but other peoples when you can just sit back and enjoy :)

Feel a bit uncomfortable saying this but obviously it is second time for me, don't know why that doesn't sit easy with me. But first time for dp and he has siblings in america,nz,africa so could take some planning and then of course the unpredictableness (is that a word ?) of tcc thrown in too.

Can see this being a long engagement, or a quick small wedding. Always got in my head if I got married again would want to wear a red wedding dress, deep blood red, very plain off the shoulder long fitted. My mum made my first wedding dress and it would be lovely if she would do again.

Anyway enough talk of weddings, we need to focus on tcc. My af not nearly as heavy as I thought, was dreading it for that reason. Am also a little excited about possibility of December baby, no idea why, my dc birthdays are evenly spread from april to october so the winter months are free at the moment. Think I just want to be pregnant basically ;)

What about getting married at Christmas, or is that a bit twee ??

hey panashe sorry XP.

I think Christmas weddings are lovely - at least you know with a winter wedding that you need to wrap up and be snuggly!
