40+ ttc: the one where we all get knocked up!

[ababsurdum]

Shiny new thread. Here's the link to the previous one.

Good luck for the blood test, Clara! I hope you'll be reporting our next bfp.

fuzzy hugs. Sending some kind thoughts and good luck wishes your way.

city Could be anything, really. But I hope it is a portent of another bfp!

cthulhu sounds exciting!

Ali sounds like you had good timing this month - fingers crossed!

Wtf cycle followed by super long and heavy period (for me) so still wtf, really. Cd10 here. Need to get cracking on this sex business for this month! DS has been having a week of dreadful sleep (so many wtfs in my life) so neither of us has been in the mood/ had any privacy to do it!

ababs hope you're okay?

Fingers crossed for everyone else, too!

Phew, so many bangs (!) in those last two posts.

Thinking of you Fuzzy. Bring on 2017 and some BFPs!

Good luck today Clara!

Yes, all the best clara.

Definitely thinking of you fuzzy, this time of year can't be the best for you.

Well, today I drove to work mid morning and felt very nauseous. I'm putting it down to stress and anxiety. Still feeling a bit icky.

What cd are you on City?

Ali currently on 25 of possibly 32.

Hello ladies, I had blood test this am but now started bleeding so it's not looking good! Gone to bed just in case rest helps but I know the chances are that I'm out. I get the results Friday so at least that will tell me if I was pg. I think I must have been as I'm now two weeks late and usually always 28 days, plus nausea.. But I guess you never know!

Fingers crossed for everyone. Good luck with getting busy Pies! Hope your nausea is for a good reason City! Hope the timing worked Ali and hugs to Ababs and Fuzzy.

Sorry to hear that Clara - is it quite heavy?

City - I hope your symptoms are something other than stress and anxiety.

Thanks Ali, no not heavy yet. I guess I just remember it starting light when I had a mmc at 10 weeks before so not too optimistic.. Have to wait and see (again!!) I guess...

Ok. I couldn't resist. I tested early and BFN.

Oh no Clara. How are things looking now?

Hopefully it's nothing Clara. Lots of women bleed or spot during pg.

City - are you around 10dpo? It's too early. I know loads of people who got a BFP after a BFN at 10dpo.

I know Ali. I'm trying not to think too much about it but its the old cliche of "I feel a bit different". We shall see.

Clara I'm thinking of you and hoping it will turn out to be a positive result - and I've read that women often continue to bleed or even have periods. You're not out until you're out. (Also for you, City) Fingers crossed!

Thank you ladies.. Your thoughts much appreciated, esp as no one aside DP knows. Decided to stay at home in bed tmrw, just in case it helps.

Hang in there City it cd still be good. I'm a sceptic on home pregnancy tests. I know I'm weird but I once got a positive when I went hospital for something else and they do them as standard. Had to explain i didn't have a boyfriend and didn't believe in immaculate conception so definitely wasn't pg! Just trying to say that they are not always foolproof.. Join me in hang back and see.. I need company ;-).

Joining Clara on the hanging-on-in-there sofa. Anyone else?

Hi need a bit of emotional support here. I am 43 and trying to conceive a third child. We have been trying on and off for the best part of 2.5 years I think. Initially we were not trying seriously i.e. Leaving contraception but not increasing frequency of improving timing. I fell pregnant last year June unexpectetly and miscarried. We then stopped for a few months until about xmas last year. I had another miscarriage three months ago but that was a very early one. I have now decided to use ovulation sticks and to find out exactly when I am supposed to be ovulating. I have been monitoring my cycle for the past ten months and it is all over the place. It has never been very regualr but now it seems to vary between 23 and 32 days. Am I kidding myself here or is there still hope?

I'll join you in hanging-on-in-there...

Hi Pooger,

Sorry you've been through such a rollercoaster and hope it's not been too tough.

Do you temp and if so, does it confirm ovulation? Have you had any blood tests to check hormone levels?

What length did your cycle used to be?

Helll there pooger! Sorry I can't give much insight as I'm TTC #1. I think Ali is more of a TTC pro so she may have some words of procreation wisdom.

Just adding a bit of holly to the sofa and bedding in with an ovaltine.

Hello, not helll... obviously too cosy on the sofa and texting fingers getting sleepy!

Hey up everyone. Not posted on here for a while. Had coil removed 25 July. Since then my cycles have been 36, 67, 14 and now 16 days. I have no idea what is going on. I'm 42. Luckily I have 2 DD and 1 DS. However I would love to have a baby with my partner. He has no kids. Running out of time and getting really fed up.
