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!

Good morning everyone and welcome fireflyz. How's everyone doing? Been very quiet on here.... Where'd everyone go.....?

Good morning everyone.

I poas this morning, 11 dpo and not pregnant. I keep telling myself that is ok, better this way, because we will be moving next month and we have to start packing in a few weeks, but who am I kidding?

I hope you all had lovely weekends!

Could still be too early irma, still in till the witch arrives! Ooo, moving, it's hard going that, good luck. So what's your new house like?

We don't know yet Ginger !

We will be moving from Scotland to the Midlands. At the end of this week will'be driving down to see houses, we'll have to choose quickly as DP stills working here. Exciting/stressing!

Very exciting! Me & annie are Scottish birds too, where in Scotland you from? Good luck with all that, keep reporting back. All whole lot going on in your house then.

I've been living in Edinburgh for 4 years, but I'm Spanish (near Barcelona) and DP is from the Midlands. He got a job at Leicester Uni, we'll be closer to his family and friends and I'll have more options for flights to go to see mine.

Where in Scotland are you?

I'm in glasgow, I love Barcelona, it's one of my favourite cities!

Had a good weekend thanks Gingerbread, my DH was off work so nice to spend some time together.
Still bleeding so I'm just watching all your post's waiting for some news.
It will be much easier being closer to his family and friends Irma (hopefully they will be a great support when you get that BFP) :)

So, erm, ideas for new thread titles....."Going clucking mental" perhaps?! "Spitting feathers and getting broody"? "Wouldn't go in the hen house at night and got et by a fox"?.................perhaps the last one's a bit literal?

I went back to the GP's for the results of my day 3 bloods this morning. Everything fine, although my thyroid results were on the "low end of normal". I'm sure I've heard elsewhere that what doctors consider "low end of normal" is, in fact, "pretty low". Don't know if that's true, or how I'd convince her to do anything about it.....she doesn't want to refer me for DildoCam until DP has squirted in a jar for the lab. Fair enough, I suppose (he has actually registered with a GP now, and has his new patient appt. tomorrow morning. Slowly, slowly we make haste).

She also said that she'd seen posts of mine on FB because we obviously have mutual friends, asked if I wanted to talk to a friend of hers who'd had lots of difficulty TTc and is now pregnant, and recommended a fertility reflexologist! All of which, I think, says a lot about the kind of place I live!

I have started taking my temperature, but can't work out Fertility Friend. And my lovely fertility book hasn't arrived (I'm gagging to read it!) I am very tempted to get hold of some graph paper and make my very own temperature chart. Then I could treat myself to some new coloured pencils .

Tests started yesterday with a lovely (not) internal. The nurse was ok, chatted whilst she was doing it. Not sure if that's worse!! She said everything looked healthy (!??!) and the tests will be back in a week. Bloods next week and ultrasound now Thursday they rang and offered a cancellation.

Hope all you great chicks (sorry) have a lovely day xxx

Morning

Ooh it's got very busy here, welcome newbies

I've had a lovely weekend away with dp. Got home yesterday and got a positive opk so dtd again last night. Dp hates dtd on demand so it was rubbish but we achieved the aim and had a laugh about it! We used preseed for the first time and I'd also bought soft cups but chickened out of using incase I did it wrong and wasted the swimmers. Might have a little practice today and hopefully dtd again later and use then.

HI all,

Sorry I've been away so long.

Had the AF from hell at the weekend. Don't know why, clots the size of my hand. Went to GP yesterday in case I should be worried. She was rubbish but did ask what they'd done about my anaemia last year when I had all my fertility tests done. I said what anaemia... Turns out that last year I was SEVERELY anaemic. She asked about certain symptoms (my hair constantly falling out etc) and it's all related. It also effects fertility.

So basically for the last bloody year I have been anaemic and it's highly likely that it is having an impact on the fact that we haven't fallen PG yet. It was bloody flashing red on the screen and it's been ignored every time I've been to the GP for the last year!!!!!

I am BEYOND ANGRY!!!

I'm now on Iron tablets.

Where's Mampam with the results of her scan. Hope everything is OK...

Big waves to Newbies and everyone else.

Good morning all.

Keg I'm sorry about the painful af, but especially about the anemia. It's unbelievable! They make you blood test and then the receptionist (not the doctor) tells you on the phone that everything is normal and that's it!

Anyhow, updates:Cd 33, no af, bfn, no symptoms whatsoever.

Gonna post & run, new thread ladies:

Title compliments of stubborn.

Whoop!

Oh KE, what fuckwittery. But wouldn't it be brilliant if that was what was keeping you from getting PG- and now you've fixed it?

Bloody hell Kegirl that's terrible! Here's hoping though this is going to be it for you, that it's time for things to happen. X

Has anyone heard from sebs, but worried about her. She's gone v quiet.

I'm doing ok, had a bleed for 5 days so really hoping my cycle will go back to normal now and AF will arrive on time next month. Still bit up and down but starting work again tomorrow. I'm self employed so it's at my own pace.
