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!

Give me a P....give me an O! Give me an A...give me an S! And what does it spell?

Don't worry penguin I will do if AF doesn't turn up tomorrow. No sign yet...

Woo hoo! Come on Snuggly I hope this is your month. have you got a test in the cupboard? I will be stalking this thread tomorrow

If you want some company Snuggly I will POAS tomorrow as well. Just for company you understand and not because I am a test obsessive loon. I can definitely stop any time I want

I don't think I've actually ovulated (cd13) but - heck - I'll do it anyway. Count me in!

I haven't got a test yet as I can never resist testing early, is can easily pop out for one of no period tomorrow though!

Please do Snuggly I'm on the edge of my seat here - I may fall off! and I haven't had any wine either.

Good luck!!!

Well I'm due on tomorrow. I may have done a sneaky test this evening and it was a big fat negative. So I'm not holding out much hope for this cycle. I tried to get a FRER but they were all out, so I got a £1 one. It's 25miu so possibly not the most sensitive, so will test again in a couple of days if AF doesn't show. I have no symptoms of either pregnancy or AF so it's anyone's guess. It's our first month of trying though since having my coil out so early days anyway.

MASSIVE congrats to Penguin and Buddah, such awesome news. You guys give me hope!

Good luck for tomorrow Snuggly. Rooting for you!

You never know Send. I totally thought I was out this month and the day before I tested positive (on day AF was due) my test was blank as blank could be. Early days yet though as you say.

So today's the day! Still no sign of AF but I often come on in the evening.
No symptoms but I realised last night I don't have any spots, I usually have a breakout of really painful spots a few days before my period. Still not getting excited though.
Going to buy test this afternoon.

Good luck today snuggly, and anyone else I may have missed testing today. The fact you have no symptoms is good then snuggly, fingers crossed for you today!

Unfortunately im back to square one and ready to start trying again in a few weeks. I just didn't feel right, My symptoms had just gone and My fears were confirmed yesterday, so I'm back to symptom spotting in a few weeks again I suppose! yey!

Oh Buddha, I'm so sorry. Sending some very unmumsnetty hugs . Be gentle with yourself over the weeks to come.

for you, Buddah.

Buddah I am so sorry. Sending more hugs

So sorry buddah . Take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry Buddah - god this ttc stuff really sucks sometimes.

Thanks all, it was half the reason I didn't tell dp, I wanted to get to 6 weeks which I've only managed twice!

I'm out with my ds now having a drink and cake so he's cheering me up, who knew a 4 year olds poo jokes could be so funny!

So enough about me whose next to test!

I got a smiley face this morning.... ...so I'm officially open for business. (yes, I have two monitors. Very sad, but very necessary it seems).

DH is not back until 10 tonight...tick tock tick tock.

So sorry buddah, life is a botch sometimes. Take care and make sure you treat yourself.
Fingers crossed for you snuggly.

Right, have tested. Bought first test in supermarket then ran into some relatives with it in my trolley, hope they didn't notice! That had a very feint positive but the control window didn't work so I got 2 more tests from the chemists and...they are both positive!
DH is somewhere between being pleased and wondering how we'll cope with two, I am just trying not to get too excited incase something goes wrong!

Congratulations, Snuggly!

Sorry to hear that Buddah - that's rubbish. xxx

Snuggly amazing news! I hope I haven't scared you with my tale. I dithered about posting because I didn't want any further worry with people but then thought you'd find out next month when I was back testing again.

I'll have a wine for you tonight

Congratulations Snuggly!!! Getting a faint positive when not even FMU is great! Remind me how old your first is? I am in the bury your head in the sand and it will all be fiiiiiiiiiiiiine camp when it comes to managing with 2
