Hey ladies, setting up a new thread! 😃 Hope it works! 🤪

[selina37]

@Loladoodle incredible loss! You must be so pleased! I've gone off drinking a bit recently, feels good to be fresher in the mornings! Definitely not off sugar and carbs though 😂 I really do need to up my veg intake!
I'm taking a multivitamin and ubiqinol now. I'll check the B6 amount I'm taking 🤔

[universal83]

Hey ladies may I join in? I am 37 ttc number 2. My little boy is 7 and fell pregnant with him first try at 29. Have a feeling this will take a while this time. I am ovulating this weekend so first try this weekend...gulp

[Kayeyeem]

@universal83 Hi, fellow 37 year old here 😊 How exciting for you 😀. You never know you could be lucky and get it on the first try 🤞🏼😀

[Pamparam]

I was 37 and found it relatively easy with my first so good luck you younguns 😉😂
I haven’t even got to try yet after deciding last cycle we would go for it as my OH wasn’t well. They know how to time it! 🙄

Still need to order my ubiquinol. Good luck to everyone approaching fertile week. My next one isn’t until mid February - feels like an eternity!

[universal83]

@Kayeyeem thank you x is this your first hunny?

@pamparam it will soon fly by x x

[Kayeyeem]

@universal83 No my 3rd, I have 2 boys who are 5 and 2 🙂

Not been around for a few days, as found out I was pg in the end, that's why no af but now having a mc 😞 that's the second one at 7.5 weeks but it took 3.5 years for those two! Really feel like this isn't going to happen for us

[Kayeyeem]

@Marvellouslymadmum Oh no 😔 I'm so sorry to hear that. Rest and take care of yourself. It's so unfair 😞 xx

[Pamparam]

So sorry @Marvellouslymadmum, look after yourself xx

[Loladoodle]

@Marvellouslymadmum so sorry to hear this. I know it’s hard to think positively now, give yourself some time and kindness. Then you can regroup and get back to where you need to be. You got this lady 💪

[selina37]

@Marvellouslymadmum 😔 so sorry for you. Keep the faith ❤️

[Happyhappy37]

@Marvellouslymadmum am sorry for your loss. Don't be too hard on yourself. Sending positive energy to you. Be strong

[universal83]

@Marvellouslymadmum sending you gentle hugs and love xx

[Kitekat81]

So sorry to hear that @Marvellouslymadmum. Take care of yourself xx

[Marvellouslymadmum]

Thank you ladies, it's so hard not to spiral into feeling like it's just not going to happen for us 😕

[Sleeeeeepy]

I'm so sorry @Marvellouslymadmum

Please look after yourself, there is still hope even if it doesn't feel like it today xx

[M4v3r1ck]

@Marvellouslymadmum I'm so so so sorry! 😔😔😔 Completely relate to the spiralling feelings, but the good news is that we can get pregnant, and we will get pregnant again! Sending you much love! 😘😘😘

Welcome @universal83! 😃

@Loladoodle wow! 😂 carbs and sugar are my downfalls! Doesn't help I went on a therapeutic bake binge yesterday! 🤪😂 Going to try running again tomorrow...

Hope everyone else is having a restful Sunday! I had a bit of a wobble last night and today, as I saw two new baby announcements in a row on Facebook last night! Hate those ugly feelings that crop up, as I should have been nearly 4 months pregnant now! Had a long walk and an afternoon bath today, so feeling much better!

[Hayley19835]

Hi all was on the last thread but hadn't caught up so found you all here in the new one ♥️
@Marvellouslymadmum so sorry to hear your news sending you virtual hugs xxx

[MgW1]

@Marvellouslymadmum
So sorry you are going through this xxx

[Darkstar4855]

Hi, new here, age 40 and TTC #2. Had my son at 38 after 8 months of trying, now dusting off the OPKs and ubiquinol ready to start again! AF due any day now...

[MgW1]

@Darkstar4855
Hi and welcome.
Where do you get the ubiquinol from? I might give it a bash xx

[Kitekat81]

@Darkstar4855 welcome and good luck! How was your 8 month journey to conceive your 1st? Did you find it quite stressful at the time? I used to think that 8 months was a really long time, now it seems quite quick! I'm 39 and we are heading into our 10th month ttc#1.

[Darkstar4855]

@MgW1 I get it from amazon, it’s the “Health Thru Nutrition” one in the green tub which has the kaneka ubiquinol mentioned in “It Starts With The Egg”.

@Kitekat81 I found it unbelievably stressful! Ironically the month I actually fell pregnant was one where I was convinced it hadn’t happened as I had no ovulation pain, we only managed to do it once in our fertile window due to shift work and I started having cramps a few days before my period was due. I didn’t even test until I was two days late because I was so sure it would be negative!

[Pamparam]

Welcome @Darkstar4855, not to sound like a creep but I remember your name from lurking on the older 35+ threads, finally decided to actually sign up! Good luck and thanks for the ubiquinol brand tip.

[TTCat39]

Thanks for starting a new thread, @M4v3r1ck
@Happyhappy37 - I went a bit green when you mentioned clove tea. Cloves are one of the few things I really can't stand! I don't know why, maybe it's because I was given it for toothache when I was little. I hadn't read about clove tea for conception before, but hope it works for you!
