Old birds wanna join the coop???

[Gingerbreadlady1]

Allo ladies! Wondering if there are any other over 35's (apparently the age of fertility suicide, who knew?) ttc for over a year wanting to chat? If so, pour yourself some virtual wine and let the chatting commence!

Morning everyone,

Well, af due today but signs all gone. However also not pg because ultra-early test is negative. So after all the stress and worry with ov ing late, looks like I probably didn't ov at all!!!

Apparently this happens around once a year for the average woman and the only way to confirm is if you're temping because you don't get the temp rise. Apparenevening if you don't ov you still get the ewcm and positive opks. Just means that the cycle is much longer, so now I've got to wait for af to turn up so that the next cycle can start.

Yawn...

Hope everyone else is ok.

Sorry to hear that Katniss. I take it you are not temping? I'm not- I don't have the will or the patience! Plus DH has hidden my thermometer as he thought it was adding to my stress. Don't know whether to kick him or kiss him for doing that. But you do sometimes wonder 'have I really ovulated this month'? I guess the only way to confirm then is a blood test- I had my day 21 test a year ago but it did confirm ov that cycle.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Hi everyone, just checking in to say hi.

katniss you're in with a shot till the witch arrives as many don't get positive test till a bit later. Fx for you.

notta you made me laugh re Bowen technique and your horse.

fankle I'm also not charting, think it would make me even more obsessive.

Well, I've bought zita west book that someone recommended, will let you know if it helps with any of thus malarkey!

This malarkey! This! Honestly I'm not that thick, bloomin I phone makes typing diff and too lazy to proof read.

Evening every one!!

Well the witch turned up about 30 mins after my last post!! Oh well at least it was bang on 14 days so my luteal phase is working ok!! Clearly being more fertile after a lap and dye didn't work for me because I'm into my 5th month post op and nada!!!

One bit of good news though (not baby related), went to Asda today and they had a vax steam mop in their reduced section for £40. Thought it was a bargain down from £100.

Dh paid for the shopping and thought the bill was cheap. When I looked, they'd charged us 40p!!!!!!!!

Ah sorry to hear that katnisscupcake :( xxxx here's to next month for you.

I'm on CD24 (I'm usually a 26-28 day cycle girl, although last month was 24 days) & this morning has a slight pink discharge after wiping when I had first morning wee. That's not normal for me, I usually get period pain and come on pretty much full flow red blood straight away.

Any thoughts? X

I'm clearly the wrong person to ask tranquility because I've got everything wrong this month!!! I never used to spot until after the miscarriage I had in July 2012, then it happened every month, some earlier than others.

I would give it a couple of days and see what happens... xxx

Katniss, don't give up. My friend got pregnant in the 6th cycle after her lap. Research says the boost to fertility can last as long as a year.

Love a bit of a silver lining katniss!

tranquility any news?

Well I got my positive opk today so let the shagging marathon commence!

katniss hope I didn't upset you with my posting, wouldn't want to do that Hun xx hope you're ok xx

gingerbreadlady1 - I did a test earlier - bfn. I did post it on canyouseealine but don't know how to do a link from my phone? Tbh think we missed the boat with OV as it was in the midst of seeing the doctor about genetic testing, then I freaked out a bit and when I calmed down think it was too late to start anyway.

Good luck to you though! Go go!

Ginger, will you let us know if the Zita West book is any good? I thought about getting it too.
Thanks
Hope everyone ok on here...t'is a bit quiet, no?

'Tis indeed a bit quiet, let's liven it up. tranquility you're in till the wicked witch arrives, fx! Not sure how to post link either sorry.

fankle will do, not arrived yet, I was able to read preview on amazon. Think it will be good for helping keep stress levels down as this may take a lonnnnngggg time & don't want it to take over our lives. Need to maintain healthy perspective so as not to be miserable which is soooo easy!

How's everyone? Where' d everyone go???? Me & dp off oft a wk, yippee! Gonna spend it diy'ing our house we're renovating.

Hi all

Katniss Your Vax bargain has put a big smile on my face!! I love it when things like this happen although I can't say I've ever had that much of a bargain

Ginger it was me who mentioned the Zita West book, it's an interesting read and much of what she says really does make sense. Hope it works for you too

On Friday our oven broke down, DH insisted he could fix it which he did for all of about 20 minutes before it packed up again. Yesterday the washing machine started puffing out clouds of white smoke that smelt like burning plastic or rubber!! Just waiting for appliance No3 to go on the blink today!! Just to top off an odd week at work as we had an Ofsted inspection.

More positively I got asked to interview for the job I applied for now I'm feeling guilty. I haven't accepted or declined yet and need to let them know first thing tomorrow. What would you do realistically if you were me? Part of me wants to do the interview anyway but then the other half thinks what's the point as I wouldn't be able to take the job if offered to me......... would I?

AF due on 22nd. Should I test on Tuesday or wait?

Ooh, by the way, forgot to say congratulations, mampam! Brilliant news!

As for the job, there's no reason why you couldn't accept it. If it feels right, go for it!

Thanks Tawdry Would really love the job so I'm going to go for it!!

I think you should test on Tuesday you never know. Have you got a FR ready just in case you see a faint line on a cheapy one?!! (that's what I did). Good luck x

Got a couple of Clearblues nestling under my knickers. I'm already thinking of cute ways to tell dp - but I should stop, because that way madness lies.

Glad you're going for it. Exciting times :)

Good Luck Tawdry I'll keep everything crossed for you. I meant to tell DH in a more exciting way other than "can you see a really faint line on this or is it just my imagination?". Poor DH had no idea what was going on as I hadn't even told him I was doing a test

Ooooooo! Good luck tawdry!!

Good luck Tawdry xx

Gulp

Thanks all!

Morning all,

Hope you had a lovely weekend enjoying the nice weather.

Tawdry, good luck!!

Tranquility, you didn't upset me . The 'acupuncture' lady told me that I needed to go weekly for the best benefit and I can't afford that so I probably won't bother for now. So I bought myself some new clothes instead!!

So, new day new month (fertility wise) so today is CD3. I am going to start taking my Centrum Pregnancy Care in the hope that this will be the month. I haven't been taking Folic Acid so now is the time to start.

Fankle, you definitely made me feel more positive about my post-lap and dye fertility chances!!

Mampam, how are you feeling hun? I really hope you stick around with us. I know it's tempting to jump onto an Ante-Natal thread and leave Conception behind, but with my PG with DD, we all stayed on our conception thread (literally for a year or two) and were there through the highs, the lows and the eventual births of our LOs.

I tend to want to stay with the friendly group because let's face it, TTC is one of the scariest things to go through and who better to share the subsequent PG with than those who have gone through it all with you!!

Having a shite day today. Realised that I've dropped a huge clanger of epic proportions at work and it happens to coincide with my monthly performance review that takes place today!!

New clothes are always good katniss! :)

I've been naughty and tested again this morning (CD26) but bfn as I knew it would be. Strong AF type pains for a good few hours now but no sign of AF yet.

Tranquility but it's not over until she arrives!!
