Mid Thirties First time TCC

[donttrythisathome]

Anyone feel like joining this bus??

I'm 36, TCC 1, never wanted children and now have done a complete u-turn!

TCC 1, Cycle 2, UCL 28-33ish, CD12

laurielou I kept expecting my GP to start roaring with laughter and say "YOU? YOU? You can't be a mother, you're an irresponsible monster", but she was lovely - not even an "oh" or a "really?". Just lots of smiles and pleased I'd shown up now (35) than 45.

laurielou I don't feel the need to investigate my cervix too much either, hence the thermometer instead.

It is my friend's first - they tried for 18 months before conceiving so was thrilled for her. Spoke to her yesterday lunchtime and she'd already been to hospital and been sent home and text today said hospital says it may be another 3-4 days! She was clearly having contractions when we spoke yesterday - two in one ten minute call - sounds like a long drawn out process to me! Love the idea of a polite cough instead! Denial is def the way forward...

My cervix always feels the same anyway, even though its supposed to go up and down like a yoyo throughout the month. Mine must be sulking. Bloody beeatch

The docs and nurses were all very nice to me, no holding their sides chortling or yelling angrily at me at all. Neither did they give me a pat on the head and a lollipop and say "come back when you're grown up wee lassy" like I half expected.

I got my referral to a specialist hooray.

Good for you, donttry - keep us posted!

Good news dontry.

Is it wrong to lurk on baby naming threads when I'm not even remotely preggers yet?

What plans for the weekend, everyone?

hello can i join this thread..34 years old been trying concive for last 7 years not happened just finished 3 month course clomid..docs got me on another 4 month course if that dosent work then iui..sister told me about site as she went through same problems and said how she met some wonderfull people on here....

Welcome stevie!

It's nice to have support from other posters in the same boat while we all go through this TTC lark... especially as its rare for real life friends to be at the exact same stage of the parenting spectrum at the same time as you.

Do you have any cats and what colour are your living rooms walls?

(Random info we all shared when we joined the thread)

Welcome stevie, good to have you on board. Hope you're left your sanity at the door!

donttry nice on on the referral, keep us posted.

Personally I feel I've missed the boat this month. I've decided that I'm going to really go for it next 2 months then be a brave little soldier & toddle off to the docs. Maybe I'm doing them an injustice thinking they'd laugh me out of the door, some of you here seem to have met sympathetic ones.

Weekend plans - babysitting! I feel like I'm 17 again. Me & the boyf babysitting on a Sat night, maybe this month isn't a write off just yet . We're looking after friends' 2 adorable kiddies (little girl, age 6 is sooooo excited my boyf is looking after her, she's told everyone "he's a scream" . Humpf, always preferred her little bro anyway!

Hope everyone else is OK, x

Welcome stevie - well done for sticking at it so long, hoping for some good news for you soon!

skatergrrrl - do you secretly have baby names lined up too? - I do, and check the baby name boards in case they're getting too popular I also like to share my opinions (nicely I hope...)

laurilou - auntie arrived last night so I'm onwards to next month too - will give it another couple of months then perhaps we can nag each other to go get tested? I'll need it.

We've also had arguments about who'll be the "strict" parent and who'll be the "fun" parent....

I lurk on the baby names threads too

I must admit I go to the babynames thread when I want a giggle - some of the pretentious crap I've seen spouted there!

I also lurrrrrve spelling mistakes... like when someone pics a gaelic name and then spells it the English way. I am a roaring snob of course and my little Clarissa Isabelle Hermione Fotherington-Smythe wouldn't want her mummy any other way!

Welcome Stevie! Laurielou gwan!!! go to the doctor - I dare you! See if they ask you if you've had sex - or maybe ask you if you're using contraception?

This weekend I'm going to gallop my horsey down country lanes scattering pedestrians and slow-walking families. Extra points for every buggy inna ditch!

VeryAnnieMary We already know in our house. I'm bad mummy. Even the fucking dogs cower behind him when I'm dishing out telling-offs!

Oooooh there's a baby name thread? Will have a little peak in there later, just to see if my fave names happen to be there. Reassuring I'm not the only loon to have a list of names already. Sadly the longer I leave having a little bundle of poo and sick joy myself, everyone else keeps pinching my names!

VAM already decided, I'm going to be the strict, no nonsense parent (ie highly strung & nervous), DP the more relaxed and therefore fun one. (still sulking slightly over my DP being "a scream").

AF not due for a while yet, just don't think we've had enough sex at the right time this month - work has been a bit of a beeatch so just not happened.

VAM definitely up for the nagging. In a few months..........

Hiya Stevie - best of luck with the clomid. Who would play you in a Sunday night drama?

I too have been lurking on the baby name theads - jaysus some of them would make you weep.

Bad mummy definitely....

DIY and loadsa booty dooty for the weekend. Plus cycles by the sea mowing down toddlers on scooters - outta my wayyyyy slowcoaches!

VAM sounds like your cycles are "normalising" now - 37 days v respectable!

Morning all.

I love the baby name threads too and have my own, very secret, (and like skihorse shockingly snobbish) list!

laurie denial is the way forward I think!

LOL and booty dooty...

Welcome to the mad house Stevie

pistachiolemon I don't think the names we've tossed around are snobbish - it's just I wee myself laughing at the pretentious crap I see over there. I mean if you couldn't swing a cat in most schools for hitting a Grace or an Amelie!

Nobody ever wants a Sarah or a John anymore do they?

We call the unborn Julian, as that really seems to offend OH.

Sorry skihorse - badly put (by me) - what I meant is more along the lines of what you put!

haha I get you now. I'm a huge fan of Rothmans but as Wayne said, Rothmans is a boy's name!

I'm just delighted that the Rooneys are pregnant - it means that no matter how ugly, stupid or badly named my offspring might be - Skye Morgan Archibald Rooney will still win!

Feck, I've just been on the latest childbirth thread. Feel vomity.

Hi Ladies not been back for a while but pleased to see you - would it sound mad if I said I'd sortof picked names as well?

I'm defintely not looking at the childbirth thred - I'd like to remin in ignorance, I think - especially after hearing from Dh's cousin's wife who apparently had a horrendous birth with a teat somewhere you don't want one - ouch!!!

Liskey She's making it up - there's a lady on this thread says all you do is a polite sneeze and there it is. Also a friend of mine gave birth in January (aged 38) 2 hours door-to-door.

donttrythisathome oh they're Gorgeous names! We're going for a modern twist, Julian Mohammed Farquar Stone Gracie Aloysius Rothmans.

Btw - over here a lot of my (male) colleagues have the middle name Maria - it's a catholic thing... is that cruel?

We have a name if it's a boy - family traditions mean we have both first and middle name sorted with no effort at all. Good job we like both though!

For a girl, I'm thinking something classy like Chardonnay

(Lol just read that back and had mistyped glassy instead of classy. apt!)
