TTC #4 at 39!

Morning everybody, looking for support/company in my TTC journey!
Bit of back ground info I'm 39 on Saturday so well aware time isn't on my side. I have 3 Children (19,12 and 6) and have had multiple miscarriages between those 3, last year I had 2 mc and a mmc at 12 weeks which resulted in a major hemorrhage and emergency surgery! We have been TTC actively since but feel very lonely in this journey 😢 Hubby is fantastic and very supportive but I feel speaking with people going through the same will help to feel less alone and less guilty that my body is failing me xx

He's had a nap this evening so he has no excuse lol, it's so glamorous this ttc malarkey we are lucky we don't have the co sleeping to contend with but we still have to find ways to get a moment to ourselves, last month we shut ourselves in the bathroom for 10mins claiming we were fixing a tap! The kids didn't bat an eyelid lol 😆 xx

😂😂😂😂😂 that made me a pee a little! Hilarious.

The co sleeping is hardcore. I hadn’t planned to feed her for this long. I had said 6 months max 😂 sometimes it’s just easier as I can get her to sleep quicker feeding her myself. She’s only feeding twice a day so it’s not too bad.

Luckily my eldest is at uni and rents a student house with lots of other young women her age and our 12 year old is on the 3rd floor so hears and sees nothing 😮‍💨😂 xx

Iv never been able to breast feed, I had retained placenta with both my boys needed emergency surgery and blood transfusions and was so weak they actually advised bottle feeding so I could rest more! I bottle fed my daughter as I was going back to work when she was 3 months and hubby wanted to be more hands on. If I'm lucky enough to have a 4th I'd defo like to give it a go to say that iv experienced it xx

Wow @Fluffy38 sounds like you’ve had a really rough time with it!

I don’t know why but I always wanted to breastfeed mine. Even when I had my eldest at 19 I breastfed her. My mum and nan didn’t breastfeed but my great nan did. I had breast implants 17 years ago and have managed to feed with them for over 5 years! (2 different kids) I would like to get the implants replaced when I’m definitely done with pregnancies and breastfeeding!! 😂😂

Would be lovely for you to be able to experience it, even if it’s just for 6 months! X

😂😂😂 @Fluffy38 Happy Mother’s Day! Hope you are getting spoilt! Need to get it on it tonight! No pun intended 🥴😂 Parents have gone now!

How are you feeling today? I’m exhausted. Had a late night and early morning. Been out on bikes this afternoon too 😆 going to ache tomorrow! 😆I’ve got quite a lot of EWCM but I always do around 5-7 days before I ovulate! Xx

I did another clear blue opk as I had a second kit and still had the static face yesterday afternoon so gonna try and get in again this evening lol, I was spoilt with loads of deep red roses and some jewellery this morning and the kids have been really well behaved! Popped over to see my mum and mother in law, hubby's getting an Indian takeaway later so no cooking yay! You defo gotta start dancing tonight if you can I'm really hoping this month works for us both how exciting would that be!! Xx

All washed up and finished now! 😮‍💨 Yes, would be lovely to fall pregnant at the same time and share the journey! X

It's a cold morning here but sun is out (essex) the kids broke up Friday iv been really lucky this half term my boss has given me 6 days worth of leave over the next 2 weeks as I never usually get time off over holidays! Taking my daughter to my private job this morning my little old lady is so excited to meet her lol 😆. If I get a positive i will be v happy having said that its not the end of the world if I don't, we have our first app with the fertility consultant on the 16th May which has come round so quick.
Do you think you will test on Sunday? I don't have the will power to wait until a missed period lol 😆. How you getting on with your book? Xx

Ours broke up a day early as they had an inset day 🙄

The symtom spotting is the worst!! Hubby decided to tell me my boobs looked fuller/bigger last night so now I'm obsessing over that and my heightened sense of smell lmao 🤣 it's all probably pre AF but I never took much notice over the symptoms prior to my miscarriages last year lol xx

My app states estimated dd if I was pregnant as 20th Dec! My daughter was due 28th Dec and arrived 4th Jan. All my kids were over cooked lmao 🤣 xx

Ha ha I know, I would be due bang on 27/28th of December if I was pregnant this time but can not see it at all and hope not because I would hope for a home birth and all staff will be off sick and on holiday knowing my luck lol xx
