Over 40 ttc - summer baby dust for me!

[Orchid222]

Ladies here's our new thread!

No Cleozeta I'm just clutching at straws in my head...

Cleo - am cd5 today. Realised this morning I needed to refresh my ov symptoms knowledge so that was my commute read so by my reckoning we should be having a busy weekend / early next week along with all the usual stuff.

Cleo was your LP after mc same length as before? Just wondering when to expect AF.

Sharon Marshall the soap lady off this morning has just had her first baby at 46!!!! Keep rockin that lady... positive news!! Whoop whoop

Monday - yes thats my guessing too, weekend and early next week, assuming we ov around cd14 (which I have been recently)

Orchid - yes my 1st LP after MC was the same as before, next one was a day less though.
Interestingly, looking back, the 1st cycle that I did TCM my LP was 2 days longer (it's been 11 days for a while now and that cycle it was 13) and the 2nd cycle of TCM was BFP. 1st after mc was 11 and the 2nd I did an experiment to see if it was the B complex that extended my LP or the TCM. LP was 10 for the first time ever, so it clearly wasn't the b complex. Going to go back to TCM in sept as that clearly worked for me

Chat - yes I saw her on telly when she was pregnant, she couldn't look happier if she tried. I wonder if that was natural or IVF?

Well I'm having a "no period, no pregnancy" kind of day! I'm never late so this has freaked me out! (I'm 1 day late, hardly huge) alarm bells say menopause!!! I know this is ridiculous

Chat. .thanks for the msg about
Sharon Marshall.. Wow..46!! That's my age. I wonder if it was natural. Hope you're feeling better now? I'm def ovulating now i reckon. Dtd last night and will need to pin DH down tonight too if there's any chance of me joining Sharon Marshall!! Got to give it my best shot as ivf is a no go for us.

Go for it @BooseysMom !!!! 👍🤞

Enjoy your evening @Booseymum!

Lol. thanks Mellon. 😃 i'm having to have a teeny weeny drinky to give me that get up n go!! But the next challenge to get thru is getting DS in bed and asleep and by the time that happens i'm too knackered to do anything and my get up n go has got up n gone!!
Anyway ... Sorry tmi alert!!.. My ewcm has now turned thick and clotty and i have cramps. Wondering if i'm still ovulating ?

@BooseysMom go for it

Thanks Cleo I'll be expecting the witch to show up around the usual time then.
Booseys hope you managed to dtd tonight and you'll catch that golden egg

Morning ladies and thank you Monday, Chat & Cleo for your encouragement. We managed to dtd and i had def ewcm! It's too much to hope for after over 2 years of ttc which is why i try so hard to not get too obsessed by it. . easier said than done as we all know! Awake really early today. The news about the boys trapped in the cave all being rescued is great but appalling about the rape and murder of that poor 6 year old girl. It just doesn't make any sense that can happen and makes you extra wary of letting children out of your sight. I hope they lynch the boy who did it.
Sorry for the depressing start to the day. I shouldn't watch the news. Just too upsetting. Those poor parents. How is everyone today?

Sorry meant to say Orchid not Cleo. I feel as if i know you all now. I talk about you to DH and i swear he thinks i'm mad but it's like a sort of family here. Certainly more supportive than many members of my family irl who are totally useless and couldn't give a flying fcuk about anyone but themselves! !

I know what you mean @BooseysMom very supportive netmums family.. so Sharon apparently had a Wicca spellcast by her emmerdale friend.. Samantha Giles?? Now my best f is also a Wicca and has made me some lovely oils and I have crystals by my bed.. that I re top up the energy every full moon..
but it happened for her and for lousie deleamere ( actress from no Angels.. ) also 46 and not ttc.. so it does happen.. I also take comfort from the young folk ttc for 2 years.. and with the odd except celeb couples do admit to it taking longer than expected.. although I've been ttc for 2.5 years there have been aspects of that time that haven't been healthy body or mind.. so I have in my head reset the clock to this jan.. as have made a lot of changes since then and a better mindset.. I put a lot of stress on my sis and I ttc at the same time which I'm sure wasn't healthy. She is due and although it is hard my bro is being a f..Witt at the mo so that makes it easier.. we don't like close so it's not in my face and I can reduce the pressure on myself.
we have had a stressful 1st yr of a new business and lots of challenges.. but other half still on the same page re ttc.. although a bit emotionally a bit dim sometimes.. think they just like the dtd bit.. not the hormones highs and lows that come with it..
feeling more philosophical today as af eases and another cycle starts..
big hugs and lots of positive baby making thoughts and dust showered put to you all lovely ladies 💕💕💕💕💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Live close... we were close but he's being my mums puppet at mo... so he needs to grow up a bit..

Ooh an Ubiquinol ordered via woods thank you @Cleozeta

Chat thats interesting about the wicca thing, I have friends that are wicca, and my sister is too. Wonder if I can get them to do something! So Sharon was natural conception at 46 then? That's very interesting - and hopeful

Worrying about this cycle, feeling some symptoms of a bad cycle. Currently cd7 and very tired/exhausted, with unwarrented anxiety (feels different from normal worry or stress, it's very distinctive). I just feel uneasy. This does not bode well.

@Cleozeta can you bare to dtd tonight and get some swimmers in the tubes to be on the safe side ?

AF has just arrived as predicted hrrrrmmmph

On to the next month then.

Am a day or too early but hopefully nothing to be concerned about.

Hey ladies, took some time off the forums to try not to get too crazy. Am 12dpo today, decided to take a test this morning, wasn't totally convinced and was so desperate to know I tried another when I got home. Will try again in the morning to be sure....

Ooh @mellongoose so sorry about af..
@CookieWaffle that looks a faint bfp!!!! 💕💕💕💕

Oooo exciting Cookie!!
