Feisty Fabulous Forty somethings - part 2

[Curlylox]

woohoo over here

Diege Yeh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done for booking your scan.My next scan is at 08.45 on Thursday also had forgotten with these 2 weekly scans doesn t seem like 1 minute since my last scan.So we ll go through the hell together XXXXXX
Yeh on Hippy at last a "for sale " sign.Any ideas where you re moving to??????? XXX
Bllody hell Jolls you re going through it!!! Poor you , you deserve a treat after all this hopefully you ll get it in the form of a bfp XXXX

I too hope that the brown spotting is implantation jolls - although how you can tell where the brown is coming from is beyond me - Good luck matey. Not sure where we are moving to - we fancy a tropical island. Where has my Kirsty gone - i need someone to find me a house.

lou another scan!!! You cheeky mare.

I keep looking out of the window and thinking, My house is for sale!!!

My DS2 got sent home from school after a runny bum related accident today. Never a good sign when they are wearing their PE kit when you arrive to collect them and have their pants and trews in a tescos carrier bag - poor thing. He was meant to be having a friend back for a play and tea as well and I had to cancel that too - double poor thing. DH thinks he's getting it now. If the farts he's doing are anything to go by - then YES he bloody well is [yuck face].

I am having a very odd time, not knowing when I ov'd has left me in the dark completely and I don't know what to make of the absense of spotting and tingly 's. I hope it stays this way for another couple of days - then I get to go through the joy of testing again

Love to all.

ps. My house is for sale Yes alright Hippy, shut up now!

Hee hee Hippy, oh yes I predict form your fart reportage that dh is well on the way to drippy bottom-dom. At least you don't need to rely on his 'front of house' at the moment! Poor ds - is he feeling any better?

Hey Lou synchronised scans now . But how will Hippy get to them both? Actually, am I right in thinking you are North-ish? (if so, she can probably squeeze us both in if she takes the snug hellicopter).
Have just gone into girls' room and notice that they have been stockpiling penguin biscuits for a midnight feast. I am sure it will all end badly, but am turning a blind eye on the proviso they clean their teeth after..

Ohhh a chance to use the snug heli-tot tot - whoop whoop!

Nothing new to report here.

Boy am I glad we don't have the runny bums in my house. I'm not very good with that sort of thing. Actually, DS is testing my patience as he's decided to regress with his potty training. He was pretty well trained, but since starting Tuesdays at daycare, he's decided he wants nappies again. I'll just have to ride it out and hopefully he'll get sick of it.

Hippy, the tingly and lack of spotting sounds very good. Jolls, I had an implantation dip at 5 dpo with DS, so you may well have had implantation spotting - very excited for you...

Can't wait to hear about the scans girls.

I think I might have to stop talking about it and actually go and see the doc about doing something for my very short Af. I only had 2 days of bleeding, then really light on the third day and spotting on the 4th day. It's just so light compared to before I had Charlie. I'm worried that I'm on my way to menopause. I want to do everything the natural way , my instincts say to try alternative therapies, but maybe I do need some drugs or something to help things?

I have acupuncture this morning and I might book some reflexology for next Tuesday, then perhaps the doc. I don't know. I really don't like the idea of drugs, but it might be my best option. I'd love to hear any experiences or ideas.

I've been doing loads of decluttering Hippy, but I doubt my house looks as good as yours does. Is it advertised online? Would you mind if I had a sticky-beak? I hope it sells quickly for you. We've had our land on sale for 3 years and not a nibble. Time to change real estate agents again I think...

Fingers crossed for some bfp's in the next few days.

Hi ladies how are you all?

So glad the snug helicopter is getting some use!

Hippy sorry about BFN but yippee, you?ve got your house for sale. How lovely. Just a hint that the punters will not want a house that smells of pooh; fresh laundry may be nice (the smell, I mean) but having shorts hanging up to dry in the bathroom counld be a bit of a turnoff.

Lol I am chilled but it has taken some time to get there! I?m in the last bit of time, three months maybe four and I will know what is to be. It feels weird and yet good. I spoke to a friend today who is adopting. Have not ruled that one out yet.

lou hugs to you.

Diege glad all is OK.

Panshe any plans for wedding yet?

Tank hugs.

Alba how are you?

Lia Any news?

Babydust to Nicole, OooohShiny, Shandybass, Jolls, Hopefulgum, and Brin.

I am busy watching Cherry has a baby.

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00ttbr9
here

I think someone else mentioned it a long time ago. Kind of pisses me off that the presenter got pregnant by accident and the first three people on the programme are teenage mums who got pregnant by accident. The third mum is also pregnant with number 2 (I am guessing by accident again). Of course it is their lives and I maybe sound like a jealous old bag. When asked if they would rather be pregnant at 15 or 35 one girl said 15..... ah how about being 46 or 47!

But it is quite interesting, there a lovely lady aged 22 and thank goodness they are at least happy to be having a baby! There?s lady who is a total nightmare looking at designer baby clothes! Sorry I can?t imagine spending hundreds on baby clothes! Anyway, won?t tell you all because I will bore you stiff and you?ve probably seen it!

But the exciting bit is the final lady, 46 and having twins with IVF! Yipee! She says something inspirational ?It doesn?t matter how old you are. I don?t care if people look at me and think she looks too old. I really don?t care. They don?t know what I?ve been through, they don?t know the pain, the length of time I?ve being trying, the financial cost. They don?t know anything. So I really don?t care.? Yes, missus, a shot in the arm for me worrying about turning 47 before any baby arrives!

just a quickie as DS off nursery with his horrible runny bum but just wanted to say to italian, not sure if I've mentioned this before, but a friend of mine has 2 DCs via donor eggs. She has a much older child by a first marriage, but was unable to conceive/stay pg again with new husband. She took Easyjet to Spain and had one child, then popped back for another 2 years later (realise that's the understatement of the year but you get my drift).

I don't know exactly how old she is (don't care/not my business) but a mutual friend let slip that she did this is "in her fifties".

We all do a music group together and there are mums in their 20s/30s/40s. Noone looks at her any different. In fact she's bonded really well with one of the youngest mums there and they all get together with their DC all the time.

I suppose I'm trying to say there are happy endings out there. I truly hope yours is heading your way soon x

My DS2 was practically pooing water yesterday and begging for food - . It did make me think of your little one jolls and I wondered - is it better if they're still in nappies or not . He is on the sofa watching CBBC and looking very sorry for himself.

We are now on rightmove!! The stupid man put the old photos on his own website and the right ones on rightmove - so I have dashed off an email to him - great start!! Still at least the proper de-cluttered ones are on rightmove.

I was awake between 2.30 -4am watching the lakehouse with the lovely Keanu. I just couldn't sleep for worrying about the stupid wrong photos (discovered just before I went to bed). I also have still had no spotting so, of course, I was wondering if there was any chance I could be preggers (I did get insomnia more when pregnant - but you can read too much into these things can't you!)

gum I cannot begin to imagine that my house would be better in anyway than yours . I will have a think about whether I dare send you a link

italian i watched that Cherry had a baby too. it was ok but the preggo who was 40 had a bad time of it and i thought - bloody typical, why not show a successful 40 something pregnancy. I am glad i didn't have my kids at 15!!

poor hippychicklet :(

hippychicklet - ahhhhh - love it.

morning all - no luck for me this month, my af started at the weekend so my colleague was wrong unfortunately

hubby had his test last week although I was miffed at him as he confessed he had not abstained from any 'activity' for 2-3 days so he may well have to go back and have another one grrrr

hippy I love the lakehouse, love keanu in it it's such a lovely film :-)

can't watch anything about people having babies as it's too upsetting for me :-(

Sorry tina - I was hoping your colleague had the gift. What a naughty hubbie, blimey they really are like little boys who can't stop playing with those things arn't they . Serves him right if he has to go through it all again. Onward and upward I guess.

I love anything with time travel or paradoxes etc and I totally love that they are 2 years apart etc. If anyone hasn't watched it - then do it! (before Hippy spoils the whole plot for you).

Mil has now returned home and we all had a lovely weekend. I've had a very quick scroll whilst at work to try and catch up, so here goes.
BB hope you're having a fantastic time.
Hooray hippy you've got your home up for sale, the downside is keeping it looking as good as it does in the photos, fingers crossed it'll be snapped up sooner rather than later. I'm secretly feeling excited for you re no show af.
Tina sorry re af turning up, funnily enough my dh handed in his "donation" last week too but he managed to restrain for the 3 days prior (only because I constantly reminded him to).
Lou and Diege sorry I know your not feeling great but the nauseous is a good sign, non? Please give us an update on your scans when you've had them, as we're not able to attend seeing as hippy is going .
Jolls and hippy hope your dc are better soon, I remember my DS (many years ago) singing a silly playground song re diarrhoea.....
Lia I can only imagine how fed you are, you're baby is obviously too comfortable. Can't wait to hear your news when baby does arrive though.
Italian good to hear you're chilled out.
Hopefulgum re your short af, could it be a one off or is this a regular thing? After my mc my cycle has changed quite a bit.
Waves hello to Nicole Ooooh Shandy Alba Isa Mit brin and Min and anyone else I may have forgot.
So am I right in saying that Lol and Gum are my cycle buddies, as on cd6? Off to Drs on Thursday morning for results of progesterone and DH semen analysis. Will keep an open mind but am a little nervous about what she'll say.

curly have visions of you bursting into rooms saying, "stop that!" in order to prevent any sperm being erm.... deposited early! These poor men

I did laught that your MIL has gone and you had a lovely week-end - any connection?

yes lia is well fed that's why she's so fat - ha ha - I'm guessing you meant fed UP.

I am still trying not to think about no AF. i usually spot days before now but am well aware that our bodies do like to trick us.

I don't want to appear pushy - so there is room in the snug helecopter for anyone else who wants to 'virtually' attend the scans - but I get to hold their hands

Well, not great news here I'm afraid Started bleeding this morning (while I was being sick [hmm), and thinking back my cm has been getting darker the last few days. I have been able to bring my scan forward a day (so scheduled for 11.30 tomorrow now) but in my heart this is really reminding me of my mmc. Same type of bleeding, colour and frequency-wise. So feeling pretty shocked and numb, but nothing I can do.

Ooops yes I did mean fed up hippy . Actually mil was down for the weekend and it was pleasant. Although it's taken about 12 years hasn't always been like that, but that's a whole other story! Yes did have to remind DH from abstaining, although they can't help themselves as their "equipment" is all there in front of them, when they urinate, adjust themselves, getting change keys etc from their pockets

oh diege, bollocks. Arsicles. Fuck. Sorry to read that. Hope of course you are totally wrong. Massive squeeze for you. xxx

Oh Diege try not to jump the gun just yet, sorry if that's the wrong thing to say but keep us posted please.....

Oh diege I know there is nothing I can say. Really hope that this is just one of those things and that all is still ok in there. Will be thinking of you tomorrow - I too am sending hugs and squeezes.

Thanks everyone . I know a scan is the best thing to do but I really feel like burying my head in the sand for this one! I just know I will be sick with worry in the hrs leading up to it, but I suppose I have no choice? I know at one level I am jumping the gun, and would probably think the same if anyone else posted about bleeding but I am already cursing my short LP and thinking I'll stick at 4 dcs. I still feel sick as a dog, sore boobs etc, but tummy is very sore (not crampy, but a little like after an amnio if anyone's had one?). Sorry I waffling now but it does make me feel a little better!

Diege you waffle on as much as you want, we're here for you. I may not be able to post as at work and will be leaving shortly but will definitely check in later.

how many weeks are you again diege - is it 8? Lots of blood or a little? Red?

sweetheart - it is so shit and of course you'll worry. We would all be the same. If it's someone else you think positive for them and if it's yourself you assume the worst. There are LOADS of threads on MN where women had bleeding and still went on to have a healthy baby but of course there are also many where it all went wrong - so try to only read the positive ones. XX

hugs to diege hope you're wrong :-(

8 weeks tomorrow. The details...I started by my customary morning retching over the tilet bowl, holding wad of toilet paper against fanjo (as you do, with a pelvic floor like mine). After I'd stopped being sick and looked at wad, paper was covered in mucously pink/light red blood. Have since had pinkish bleeding after I've had a wee. I've put a pad on as had to honour a hospital appointment I had aranged to go with a friend to this morning, and have about a 10 pence piece worth of spotting on that when I looked just now. I also noticed some 'orangish' cm late last night, which was exactly how my mmc started (never had that before or since, well since if you count now).
