TTC 35+ Thread 2 Cougar And Silver Fox Club

[Loladoodle]

New thread for you ladies. Let’s bring on the Bfps!!

I am enjoying watching the rain fall so much 🙂 (cup of tea ☕ in hand ). I enjoy it the most when it's pouring down with thunder clamps. Amazing !!!🙂

@Loladoodle I found it to be a very strange feeling to want another baby, my dd is 18yrs and has very complex needs, most people are going to think we've lost the plot but we know it's what we want and we have each other to lean on when needed, we have so much love to give and are both wanting this so much
Best of luck on your ttc journey

@Loladoodle yeah 9dpo in the second week of the tww and feeling it tbh. I just feel that no matter what I do, I can't get past the age thing. sighs :(

I feel crampy and that af is coming... My muscles in my stomach are sore. Boo!

@Angelchops30 I know me too I was adamant I was done. But it’s something we both want however we have discussed that if it doesn’t happen that’s ok too as My previous ttc journey with my ex H was so stressful and long I just don’t want that happening again. We are giving it a chance and if it’s meant to be it will be. Best of luck to you too!

@lynnysong it’s a horrible feeling hopefully af stays away! The positive is that you are trying everything you can that’s the best you can possibly do- so hope it all works out for you!

@Loladoodle same here had my 3 youngest is 7 then 9 then 12 thought i was done. But now with fiance want baby more than ever! Baby dust to all!

@matilda you just never know what’s around the corner! I have learnt that one ALOT!!! 😅

@Loladoodle absolutely I was never going get married didnt want more kids
Were engaged and i proposed (leap year and all) and i so want baby it's unreal!
Life changes so quickly xx

@Loladoodle we have said same if it happens wonderful if not we wont beat ourselves up. His an amazing dad to my three z

Awh that’s lovely @matilda I’ve said I won’t get married again either but who knows eh 🤣

@Loladoodle who knows what will happen exciting times ahead of us all
Fingers crossed for lots of bfp x

I’ve had such a ‘day’ at work I’m having a cheeky beer... Despite it potentially being the TWW... it’s only little and plenty of people drink before they know they’re PG right?

@FridaK I’m having a wine 🍷 absolutely people drink until they know they are pg. I’ve said I’ll enjoy life until I know otherwise. I was Ttc for 3 years previously and was miserable having cut out all pleasures in life. The success happened when I just expected it wouldn’t happen and resumed to normal life! So I’m not doing that this time around. I’ll be healthy as possible but still enjoy some pleasures in life until I have a bfp 👌

@FridaKFangirl I agree. You need some treats.

Thank you @Loladoodle and @kwastell... A treat is definitely needed

Thanks @lynnysong and @Happyhappy37. Just got a bit too excited yesterday I think

Definitely untill you know otherwise gotta live a little especially now.. We're potentially in the tww too and have just brought wine for lockdown weekly date night xx

I've got a glass of wine to ought as well 😁

To ought = tonight

Good plan @Matilda19 and @claireb707! 🍷, 🍺 or All round until we get our BFPs!

Congratulations @kwastell and @MrsTtobe! Lovely news!

I got my Seven Seas Trying for a Baby supplements today, so I'm switching to them from the Pregnacare Conception ones as I'm convinced they've messed with my cycle this month (been taking them for 6 weeks).

I'm usually so regular but this month AF arrived 5 days early and is far heavier than normal. I'm still using tampons and needing painkillers on day 5, when it's usually just a bit of spotting. The Pregnacare was the only thing different to usual. I just hope it resets quickly!

@semele thank goodness I ordered seven seas as I already have painful heavy periods 😫 would not want them any worse!

Happy Friday ladies! 😍 Nice to see folks still having a wee drink! I wasn't sure as I'm in the TWW but it's DH birthday weekend, so I feel better about having a nice glass of vino now! 😃

@kwastell super huge congratulations!!! Is that us on two BFPs now?! 😍😍😍 and yes, ladies, please stay around! Want to know your progress and learn everything! And we're here for you as you go through all your crazy hormone changes! 🤪😂

Boo to folks with AF and BFN! Hope you've plenty of TLC and choc/treats for this weekend! 😘

@Chlo2701 Ovia is saying 7 days until test and AF isn't due until a week tomorrow! However, I've not bought any tests or anything... spoke to DH and we're just going to wait and see if I'm late (I'm like clockwork) and only then get a test! Otherwise I know I'll cave too early! 🙈 What about you?

@FridaKfangirl you're only a couple of days behind @Chlo2701 and me, so I think we can be cycle triplets! 😃 Hope you're feeling better now after your beer!

Thanks @M4v3r1ck and @Chlo2701 I'm feeling better thank you and would love to be your triplet :)

I'm probably not going to test for 21 days if I can manage as I've no idea when AF is expected...

Hope your other half has a lovely birthday @M4v3r1ck !

@lucieloos

35, TTC #1, cycle 13 (I think, maybe 14)

Congrats to those with BFPs!

How common is spotting, ladies? I’ve been having periods for 24 years (only about 6 years of that on a pill) and only really noticed spotting in the past 6 months, every month, in the day or two before full AF!
Keep convincing myself it’s implantation bleeds and usually test around day 28 (I have a very regular cycle), always negative. So, as far as I know, I’ve never been pregnant.

Can spotting be a sign of deterioration of cervix? Or issues with lining etc?

@M4v3r1ck enjoy you're wine hun, & hope you both have a lovely wknd. I've had 2 glasses tonight of wine & it's helped me relax thank god!
I'm due next sun 21st so was going mug to test that morning with a FREE, bit I also bought internet cheapies yesterday because i know I'll start getting the urge Friday to POAS.
So if you've not come on by next Saturday will you test that evening or wait until Sunday morning?🙊 that's so patient of you, give me some of that patience!
@FridaKFangirl jump onboard, we can compare, how many DPO are you did you say? What day will u test then do you think? X
