Aged 35 or over TTC #2?

[RememberToSmile1980]

Hi ladies
I'm trying to conceive no. 2. My aim was to ttc from January of this year - however due to one thing or another (very stressful time at work!) I have not been giving it my all. I have now decided I need to focus on ttc no.2 as I am very conscious of the growing age gap! Please join for a friendly chat and to hopefully support each other!

Stats
Age - 35
Ttc - #2
CD - 21
DS - 3 years 10months!

Don't want to obsess about it! However I think it's inevitable!

Actually I was getting the feelings yesterday! Fingers crossed...

exciting snuggly really hope this is your month!

Thanks, me too!

Oooh exciting stuff snuggly (can i also please say that I love your NN, we recently got that book and 4.5 yr old DD wants me to read it most nights!)

I haven't been tracking any ov symptoms yet, might keep an eye on my CM though. I use Clue to track my periods and that suggests I will ov tomorrow, so planning some baby-making shenanigans tonight. Only hoping husband won't be too tired as he's had to go to another site for work today which is a 3 hour drive, plus he goes kickboxing on a tuesday evening, so he won't be home until about 9pm. May just try to drag him to bed about 10:30 and hope he doesn't object!

Good luck send, tiredness is a big factor in how often the deed gets done here! Pleased you like my nn, it's a great book, my DD loves it too.

Hi all. Dildocam appointment today was all fine and reassuring. Technician said most likely I had a cyst which has now ruptured. She also told me it looked like I was gearing up to ovulate on the right hand side so that is positive.

Good luck Send. Yup. Tiredness a big factor here too. Who knew that DTD could be such hard work?! Trying to work out if I can be arsed to DTD for a third time in 4 days...I seriously need to up my cardio from zero if this baby making thing is going to take a while! .....

Fingers crossed for you snuggly. Good news that your timing might be OK after all. You deserve it after a trip away with this many teenagers!

And Novino of course my baby will only eat organic couscous, lentils and houmous Do you think I could get my Waitrose baby delivered via Ocado?

I'm resisting the temptation to google CM. I've had the worst few days, I couldn't have done any more stupid things in such a short amount of time... I backed into a wall that I was staring right at in my rear view mirror, god knows why i didn't stop, too busy day dreaming, broke the tv and amongst many others that I cant be bothered to go into, I somehow managed whilst trying to tax dp's car to sorn it and declared it off the road, not even realising until he was pulled over by the police yesterday, luckily all is fine now but im thinking its my bodys way of preparing me for baby brain again? [hopeful].

Penguin, glad everything went well, Those cameras aren't a nice experience, i got the shock of my life when i went for my first scan and she pulled out a condom! Thought to myself it's too late for a sex ed lesson now love .

Ive done the opk tests today, Im ovulating right now! where is dp... sat at work that's where until 8 tonight, so Im making myself stay awake till then, and dp can take me as he finds me, face mask on, legs unshaved probably keeping 1 eye on tattoo fixers on the tv.

Sorry for TMI into my glam life

and snuggly what are these feelings? I need to know if i have them and pass them off as hunger, could possibly explain the extra stone ive put on since ds was born.

Hi I turned 35 in April. Been trying to conceive number 2 for a few months but due to being run down, moving house we aren't really consistent with it. I have some endometriomas on my ovaries too. Which I had when I conceived number 1.

Hi Unicorn,

Strikethrough fail...

Hi nextone. No its 21st. It took me a while to conceive first one but my periods were really irregular and I think I was trying too soon before I ovulated.

Illness has struck in this household - nothing serious, but headachy feverish parents who have been up since stupid o'clock with presumably headachy, certainly feverish DD do not want to do anything except crash in front of the TV. We did DTD a few times before it struck, so we shall see. Not very hopeful though - with my last pregnancy, it was the other way round (didn't DTD until what I thought would be too late). CD20.

Sorry to hear you are all sick Spindelina hope you aren't feeling too rough. Fingers crossed you have got enough DTD under your belt already.

DD is sick too actually. She was really tired and out of sorts after nursery and only picked at dinner before being sick into her plate. Lovely! Tucked up in bed now and haven't heard a peep so fingers crossed she will be better by morning and not pass any pukey lurgys on to her parents

How is your dad Novino?

Sorry to hear about your poorliness spin and about your bad week Buddah. I can't explain how I felt yesterday, just very much like it was the right time. I'm probably miles off though!
One of my best friends is pregnant, I'm so excited for her but I now know at least 8 pregnant people! Let's hope that means we'll all be next!

I also seem to be surrounded by pregnant ladies at the moment or friends who have just had babies.

He's doing much better thanks penguin but I'm not chuffed they're trying to discharge him so soon. Must be a good sign or they'd keep him if they thought he was going to keel over!

Seems like my fertile week is ages away, I am looking to you lot to be my pregnant friends! Do have one particularly smug selfie taking friend who is pregnant right now. Happy for her but God woman put the camera down for two seconds!

So glad it went well at the docs penguin and even better you got a heads up (not a euphemism!) that your about to ovulate. Hope all goes well! Sorry didn't see all the other posts.

Really sorry to hear there's sickness going about! Good luck to everyone getting over it and hope your Dad keeps improving,Novino.

Fingers crossed to those o'ing now or soon.

Cd24 here. Broke and tested this morning. don't know why I bothered, particular as wasn't FMU. Obviously a BFN. at myself. Grrr. What is it with those bloody sticks and why on earth do I feel the need to do this every time!

TMI - I know - but had a very small 5p size brown discharge two days ago, which got my hopes up. I felt DS implant though, so I'm always looking out for that exceptionally weird sensation - and there's been nothing like it. Ho hum. Going to try and restrain myself now or at least wait until Friday....

Thanks beastie.

I know it's so hard not to test every day after ovulation! Hoping for the best and that the discharge is a sign. I wish I could feel implantation, would make the tww a lot easier!

Yeah I know, wouldn't it!

I'm actually not sure it was implantation - it was a very strong vibrating feeling, accompanied by a tangible sensation of heat on one side of my abdomen. At the time the only thing I could compare it to was an extended electrical shock, so when I read this I started to wonder:

Every time I mention this as a hypothesis to people, I get the look and a change of subject. So I must sound properly loony.

Not at all! You know your own body and when something like that happens and you are in tune I think you would feel it. All these people saying they just knew must be feeling something

Ladies I will reply to people properly later but just had to vent. I am RAGING Was in a 1-to-1 with my boss today and he questioned why I didn't book my doc appointment on my day off. Which was bad enough. He then said 'you know my wife is an expert in that area' (his wife being a midwife) thereby implying I was pregnant. Actually you knob I was having a scan of my ovaries to check there is nothing serious wrong so f*ck you very much'. I am so annoyed on so many levels. Even if I were pregnant, it's none of his business. Still annoyed several hours later.

How cool that you are so tuned in with your body Best. I firmly believe there is something to be said for intuition when it comes to this kind of thing. Fingers crossed for you!

Glad your Dad is better Novino. As you say it's positive that they think he is well enough to come home.

Hi everyone! Sorry for lack of personals, haven't been on for a while so it would take ages.

penguin how rude of your boss! I would be fuming.

buddah I know that I shouldn't but your post made me LOL
Hope everyone feels better soon.
Hello to the newbies.
All quiet here. Should be ovulating nowish, very technical I know, but not using OPK's this time. Should really DTD tonight but I feel frazzled from work, hoping a hot bubble bath will help.
Me and DH are going away this weekend, two whole nights without DD, bliss! Although it might be too late, will have the time to DTD if I don't fall asleep
Right good luck everyone, hope to see shitloads of BFN over the next couple of weeks.
