Hi X, i am here for alittle while longer. going home soon. i work mon-wed.

i am slightly optimistic as my boobs are still hurting. usually if AF is coming, by now, they are back to non sore state...

what are you up to?

I'm reading the 'active conversations' and ignoring my ds who is home 'sick' but outside playing footy.

I definately refuse to trawl through the thread and work out everyones cycle

I'm on cycle 1.5 million and feel it!

Plus herbaceous is 42 now - she told us!

Can I join you ladies please. I think I qualify! I had my gorgous DS1 last year two weeks after my 40th birthday (I wanted to have him on it - what a 40th that would have been!) and now TTC again since Jan. Last time it took 18 months of tryng though we weren't taking it seriously (ie. time of month etc) with the view that if it happened it happened and we weren't going to get too stressed if it didn't though we desparately wanted it too. Does that make sense to someone, a bit illogical I know. I am now the grand old age of 41 and 3 months and really would love number 2. I bought and used ovulations tests for the first time this month so fingers crossed.......

Ooh looks like I've missed lots. Fingers crossed OhJ/heron.. Very diligent work X listing all the posters. My age 44 and 8 months and I am taking 50mg Clomid though my consultant has only given me 3 months which she said would work in that time if it was going to. I got it because of my age only really, they said I'm running out of time so give it a go! I know what you mean about the other clomid thread X !

p.s Hello missytabitha and good luck!

hi, how about a bit more info.

Wow! This thread is going crazy! Welcome to all the new people! I hope we can all inspire each other.
Heron, did you test again yet!!! hmm!
Roquefort, now you can have a rest from bding and your dh can unlock the cupboard door!
We are on day 4, but DP's brother and partner are about to have their baby, so I'm a bit preoccupied with that. How exciting! OMG! It's her first time, so I can totally relate to how she feels (scared).

hi rowing, i am being good, resisted from testing AF is due tonight or tomorrow morning.

boobs still sore - so i am hoping that this is a sign. i am not going to worry so much about hpts yet. as long as AF does not come then there is still hope

with DS, i did not get a BFP until 9 days after AF was due.

i went through so many mood changes today. from confident to not...argggg, just want to be preg, right now!!!

Fingers crossed for you Heron!!
I personally don't want to be actually pregnant, but would like a baby! It's the in-between bit I'm not looking forward to.

Ooooh Heron. Fingers crossed for you.

Hi gem2mum and missytabitha.

Rowingboat I laughed when I saw your post - I mean - it's toooooo discouraging to count how long I've been ttc.

hi rowing, i want to be preg and have a baby! i want to be preg and big, i enjoyed it last time

cramps getting stronger, but no bleeding yet. AF!! stay away!!!

Ok. Who's got a BFP, who is on a 2ww and who's waiting for AF?

xserialshopper ..... AF due tues

Hi

I'm 42, 43 in July -- just to update the info.

Doing a lot of lurking on this thread at the moment, but little posting. Still trying though, but not very hopeful.

Really love seeing this thread so active though.

Thanks jennykb - but most times it seems like I'm talking to myself

I AM NOT A THREAD KILLER
I AM NOT A THREAD KILLER
I AM NOT A THREAD KILLER...........

Ooops! I mean

I WANT A BABY
I WANT A BABY
I WANT A BABY (ok I want twins 1 boy and 1 girl)

Hi X,

i am waiting for AF, she is late, she has never been late. Was due last night. keeping positive and not done any tests...yet

Hi ohjoy/H. Yes ...... I tried 'holding your hand' on you thread. Keep it up girl - NO TESTING UNTIL SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, maybe Friday then.

Hi X, you're right, no testing until sat! spoke to my gp and she said dont even put in any tampons, if i want to use a pad. and certainly no checking of CM

i would love twins as well...DH would be over the moon!!!
