Fantastic 40+ thread - part 4

[hippychick66]

Come on ladies - you know who you are .......

Too tired to type properly!!!

I agree with Gum and Italian - maybe go but don't actually ski. (You weren't gonna be with them anyway cos they ski better than you.) I like the whole hot chocolate/writing a novel/reading by the fire - idea

lou sorry you are so tired but it is all in a good cause

Bb how exciting that you think it might not all be over this pregnancy. Keep us informed.

gum yeah you might wait a few days - I believe you

Italian so sorry I replied to Gum - I don't even have the excuse of preg-head. I am a day late, but then I'm perimenopausal so guess I'm going to have to accept that my periods are going to be all over the shop. I'm not going to test yet (well, to be honest it's a small town and I can't face asking the chemist for yet another pregnancy test - I'll have to wait for amazon to deliver!). And I don't feel pregnant, unfortunately. Or due on. Weird. I could eat a packet of custard creams, but tbh I could do that any day of the month .

I'm going to do as Italian suggests and ski when I want to and write my novel for the rest of the time. It's an expensive way to write, but then I think I would probably feel I've missed out it I don't go. Thank you!!!!

Sounds like a plan Lol
Hippy not so much pregnancy making me tired , just life and work!!! Hope you re on?
Oh BB meant to say ; how exciting all may be progressing ???

OMG bloody I phone that meant to sat;;; " Hippy hope you re ok?? Not ON!!!!

I've been thinking of you Beattie, I hope all is well.
Lou - you are getting so close. I hope your little one is kicking you and letting you know she's there. I always found those movements very reassuring.

Deige, how are you and little Deigebean doing?

Lol, that sounds like a plan. Where will you go for skiing? Italian Alps? France?Is there skiing in France? My friends went to the Italian Alps and raved about it(they love skiing).

Italian, how's the treatment going? What happens next?

Well, boobs have gone back to normal. Temperature has dropped. It's all over bar the singing...now if AF would please turn up. Because if she doesn't then I don't know what the heck is going on.I really don't like this feeling of not knowing when she might make a grand entrance. Certainly won't be wearing white pants anytime soon (or ever actually, my arse is way too big...)

Thanks Gum yes she moves/ flutters intermittently. Yes, very close 4 weeks today!!! Won t seem real to she's in my arms though.
Awake again at stupid o clock!!!
Gum hope AF appears soon then you know where you are at xx
Love to all xxx

hi all, just a quick one to say, yes I am pg (at the moment!). and feeling really really dire - nausea is constant day and night. Maybe it's because I'm older but it really is much worst. So I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself and wondering how I'll get through the next few weeks in terms of work, interacting with the family and just getting out of bed! (Diege I remember you felt pretty bad at the start didn't you?).

dh still being a sh*t .

Hope everyone's ok - gum sorry it's not a bfp for you this time. shandy how are you feeling?

BB good to hear you're alive and, er, well. Sorry about dh. Have you told him?

Gum think it's Italy. I'll check.

Well, I came on this morning, so only a day late - and my dd came on at the same time, so I guess we're just synching. I had to buy tampax for 2, plus more for overnight stays for dd with her Dad. The girl at the checkout must have thought I was having a really bad time

Hi bb so sorry you're feeling crap and you're dh is still being a pain. I'm ok, still pg as far as I know. I still haven't been to register. Booked an appointment for week Friday, the earliest I could get. I may phone for an emergency one which they will give, but for now it's easier not knowing if it's progressing. I'm tired but otherwise ok. Last time I was a lot more sick and it really takes the shine off things, but hopefully its just the first few weeks for you.
lol I'm jealous, I love skiing and I haven't been since kids. Mind I remember sking with a friend when she was in early pg and thinking she's mad.
Love and babydust to all.

Hi BB and Shandy. Glad to hear you are both still pregnant. But sorry you are feeling so sick Beattie. That must be hard, especially with DH being less than supportive.Have you got any family support?I'm sure you could really use a helping hand right now.

Lol, sorry about AF. Mine is still AWOL. I'm getting really tired of this not knowing. I had an obvious temperature rise(for 12 days) after a positive opk and yet here I am two days of temp drops, possibly 13 or 14 DPO and no sign of it!And definitely not pregnant. BFN and all symptoms gone.

I'm getting acupuncture tomorrow, maybe that will help things along. I'm really worried I've hit menopause suddenly, and think it just isn't fair after two miscarriages. It sucks!

BB sorry it is hard at the moment.

Lol looking forward to reading your novel.

Hugs to all.

Not much to report yet, looking like next month, currently on a cocktail of drugs! Also few blood pressure hicups.

Italian - I hope you can get the blood pressure sorted out ASAP.

Pleased to say that AF did decide to come out of hiding. SO pleased, as now I've some idea of where it's at...and I wasn't imagining all the symptoms etcetera.

lou I knew that you didn't mean you hoped I was ON I'm getting on ok - thanks. Let the count down begin for GILS

lol how strange you and DD coming on at same time. Having two sons I can't imagine that at all.

Am a bit envious of you writing your novel and drinking hot choc

BB have you told DH yet?

italian really hoping that all those drugs are worth the suffering. Fingers crossed for you my love.

gum sorry to hear about the temp drop etc.

shandy keep going girly - one day at a time. X

diege you're very quiet. Don't forget to tell us when you have your little diege bean will you? take care. X

Quick boob watch for you - very large and dolly-ish. Temps very high but there is still a heck of a lot more of the 2 week wait to go........

ps. Lia is celebrating a birthday today (she's about 32 or something like that ) Just incase she's lurking about in cyber space - happy B day. XXX

Hello! So sorry for going awol. I have pretty painful spd which is an eye opener as I've never had so much as a twinge in previous pregnancies, so have been shuffling around feeling sorry for myself and having no energy to boot the dd1s off 'moshi monsters' on my laptop...
On the positive side, Monday was the last day in the office and just have 2 weeks now of working from home until proper mat leave starts
Lou we're nearly into birth month for you (and probably me) - I really hope you get some rest before the big day - work sounds manic. When do you finish?
Hippy I have faith in your dollies . Are you back on the clomid or spacing it out a bit?
Gum sorry for temp drop but as you say with af at least you'll be moving in a forward direction. How is dh these days?
Lol think you've made the right choice to go on ski trip though I would personally hate every minute (skiiing not my thing); though reading/writing by log fire does sound nice . You will also earn some credits in the bank iyswim
Italian hope you're ok - does bp have to be within a certain range when taking the drugs?
Shandy hope you're ok, relaxing a little now as things progress etc. Have you booked in yet? I think I avoided doing so until 13 weeks or so this time (ended up getting apppt at 15 weeks in the end, as just too anxious!).
BB hope you're ok and that the pregnancy is progressing. I was very, very sick early on in this pregnancy (4.5 weeks) and started on cyclazine at 5 weeks. Might this be an option for you if things get unbearable? I can't imagine that the stress with dh is helping either xx
Trying to get things sorted in the diege house - we have so much crap that seems to have come with us when we moved (18 mths ago ). One bin bag a day is my new philosophy, pelvis permitting!
Love to all x

sorry to hear about the painful pelvis diege me ol' mate. I am getting very excited for you and lou now . This is a clomid month for me yes - 1 more dosage left but am 99% sure i wont need it as i must be preggers this month - (Ha Ha - Hippy ROFL at her own stupidity and optimism!)

Go Hippy boobs!! Surely, they're right this month???
Diege sorry you re in pain. Yup, last month!!! I break up tomorrow for AL then return to work on the 3rd October for a week. Finish for mat leave on the 7 th October. Can t believe how quick time is flying by now.
Hi all hope all are well? Just got in been out for tea on a " hen" do!!! Nice but would have liked to stay in for a chill put! However, last day at work tomorrow then Thoresby hall for 3 days of blissful chilling and pampering
Love to all xxxx

Thanks for your kind words, BP being checked next week. We have two or three weeks to go.

Hugs to all.

italian if there is any justice in the world this really should work out for you, you have been incredibly patient and given this your all. Not long to go now. Keep us posted, matey.

watch - boobs are solid and are singing 'Joleen' all by themselves!!!!!

lou I wanna go on your pamper week-end too

Morning Fingers crossed Hippy - go on, when do you test then? Cd please?
Angel your planned break sound lovely, and great to have some time out before the dreaded last week. YOu technically finish a week after me, but it feels like I am on mat leave already with this working from home lark.
Italian all sounds exiciting but I bet a bit scary too. Have everything crossed for you x
Pelvis feels a little better today after trying not to open my legs too much! I can still 'feel' it when i walk, and it's giving out some almighty clicks when I change position, but I am praying that I have got it (spd) mildly and that it is recovering from the gymnastics on the birth ball. Will know more after pushing heavily-laden buggy up and down hill this afternoon!
Love to all x

From what i've heard diege you haven't opened your legs for many a month

(Hippy wanders off - seriously hoping Diege doesn't get offended......)

. Oh yes, I hold my hands up to that. Poor dh hasn't had any of it since the bfp . He has stopped asking now

If I ever get a BFP again - I will be the same, matey

I would expect nothing less comrade! To think, all that cajouling and faux sedection I did all those months ago, and it's come to this. Fingers crossed you'll be joining me soon. In the meantime, make the most of those

I can relate the severe lack of fornication!!! But ours is on Ants behalf not mine!!! He's scared of hurting the baby but as I ve told hiim " you re not that big honey!!!" seriously , I think it's because of what we ve been through before!!!
Hippy I ve told you before NO step away from my pamper weekends!!! Don t want to spot u lot slob ing around in your " joggers" ruining my relaxing ambiance!!!
When you testing??? Go Hippster go!!!
Diege glad you re feeling a little better xx
Hi all hope all are well??? Last day yeh
!!!!! So tired today sleep now may go to cinema later but tired now!!!! Xxx
