TTC for the Over 40s

[birthdaycake]

The first thread I've ever started.

Me age 41 and TTC since mmc in June. Anyone else out there.

hi sensao, pls tell me, where is northern Va?

have a good weekend everyone

i was so tired today, slept this morning till 12.40pm (only got up cos i had to pick up DS from nursery!) and then fell asleep when he was having his dinner. as a result, we were way behind our going to bed routine, 30 mins behind schedule!

i told myself that it is not a big deal, as he is 4yrs old and i need to take it easy, sleep when i need to !

Still no AF

...and am getting DS's cold. Pants.

Have just googled it Heron. Northern Virginia. Which means Sensao is stateside and 5 hours behind us (I think?)

Morning Ladies

How frustrating Juicy! How late are you?

I wondered where northern Va was

I wouldn't worry too much Heron about being out of your lo routine.....when it's school hols my
oldest goes to bed later than usual and my youngest stays up longer too. I have had the mother of all headaches for 3 days and i've had to nap in the day!

Morning all

how's it going juicy?

it is a lovely day today - DS and I are going out shopping.

have a good day everyone

Day 32

Have already done the shops and hung out washing. Now waiting for rain to start.

Got a Barbeque to go to at 5, so if it hasn't rained before then, it'll probably start then!

Running Race for Life tomorrow, so just hope it stays dry tomorrow.

hi juicy, have a good bbq and hope it does not rain

It didn't rain, but AF arrived

Well at least this means that DH will be home when I next OV. Well, that's assuming that I OV atall...

Have a lovely Sunday Girls x

Hi all,

Heron, being tired is such a positive sign of strong hormones so sleep as much as you can and enjoy it Sorry about AF Juicy. I haven't been on mumsent for a few days so I was catching up on all your news and really thought I might get to the end and see a BFP for you.
Welcome Sensao from Northern Virginia. I think you will find quite a few of us here have experienced mc so we know how hard it is but its true that it does get easier.

Well, Good luck to all you ladies, I am off to France for a couple of weeks and AF is due just before I come back. In spite of all my good intentions, I have still packed some PG tests - just incase!

Will catch up with all your news when I return.

P.S. How is Rowingboat? and Xserial hows things with you?

hi gem, have a fab hols in france and fingers crossed for you !

i would have done the same - packing some preg test sticks

Hey everyone! Am workign/studying today so can't stay long and apologies for not having read everyone's news but.. I have got a BFP!! Am amazed really as didn't get a peak on the CBFM this month and also thought dh was away over the crucial time. Not getting excited yet though as had a cp in Feb - but feeling sicky already which must be good. Like a hangover that never quite goes...Will try to pop back in later xxx for now, RL (no more roquefort for me for a while!)

CONGRATULATIONS Roquefortlover!!!!!another BFP Wow!!

Sorry about Af Juicy!!Good Luck for this month!!

Have a lovely Holiday in France Gem!!

Congratulations RL

Here's hoping it's a sticky one.

Have a fab holiday Gem.

hello everyone!
hi roque, jassara, how are you all doing?

Hi Heron been feeling sick for the past few days which I'm glad about, as in my last pregnancy (MC) I had no symptoms and felt really well.
How are you? have you decided to go for your 6 week scan or leave it a couple more weeks?
I've got my first MW appointment on weds, so might ask her if I could perhaps have an earlier scan than 12 weeks on the NHS. Will book a nuchal fold scan for 12 weeks

Hi everyone, sorry I've been a bit not thinking about ttc recently (trying my best to sound like Charlie and Lola there).
Congratulations Heron and Roquefort! That's great news!
AF came along for me a couple of weeks ago and now I am on cd15. I used OPKs this month and had a surge on cd12 then faint lines 13 and 14 - bit odd. Has anyone else ever had that?
I thought I was a day 14 girl, but perhaps not.
We did manage to bd on days 10, 11, 12 and 13, but yesterday I was at work all day and by the time I got home I was too hungry, tired to be bothered. We did have a go, but gave up halfway though because DS was jumping up and down on the bed.
So it's the 2WW again.
I have been reading about blocked tubes and it seems that it is possible to have a dominant ovary, so now I am thinking that perhaps I have a dominant ovary and it's on the other side from my unblocked tube. That would be bloomin' typical wouldn't it!!
I got a book on massage today, so have a go at unblocking the blocked ovary - apparently it is possible.
Have a good holiday Gem!!

hi jassara, i am fine. have decided to go for the 6 week scan this friday. will post what the sonographer sees

how many weeks are you now?

i am actually waiting for nausea to strike!
it is reassuring isnt it?

Hi heron, I'll be 8 weeks Thurs, think I'm exactly 2 weeks in front of you....it seems to be dragging because I wanna get to the 12 week stage.
We must be mad wanting to feel sick
Hope it all goes well Friday! will be thinking of you

Hi Rowing, good luck on your 2ww

Hi everyone.

Got back from holiday on Sunday - AF was late (although early mc last month so not too sure of dates). Am whispering the next bit incase I jinx it - Did a test yesterday and got a BFP! Told my DH but not told another soul. Will this be 4th time lucky for us?

I needed to share my news to make it real. Lost last one at 5 weeks so trying to keep very calm.

Fingers crossed for everyone.

xx

Hi Min! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!
let it be a sticky bean!!!

CONGRATULATIONS Minmooch, good luck for a sticky bean!!

hi jassara, i am feeling more calm now...

Fingers crossed for you Min!
I think a lot of people are disproving the supposed drop in fertility at forty - good!
X-serial are you still there? Could you update the stats again pleease so we can see who is still waiting for their bfp??
