It sounds like ovulation (unless you've missed a period?). Good luck, look forward to hearing on an update after you've been see your gp.

It sounds like ovulation (unless you've missed a period?). Good luck, look forward to hearing on an update after you've been see your gp.
... yeh, Jodi ... i reckon it's ovulation too, just doing it in a different way to anything i have experienced i guess !!
Darn ol' bod playing tricks on me ... be nice if i got the last laugh for a change, LOL ;)
Like i said to Maz ... i'm overwhelmed by everyone's positive response as when i was preg with my DD (i gave birth at 39yrs & 4mths) the OB's i came across were so negative towards me, yeh purely based on my age :rolleyes: .... So, heartfelt thanks to you all as i found that very touching.
As Maz mentioned i have been through a lot of late (my young SIL passing away) & maybe it's my body letting out hormones of a different kind with the stress of grieving or something ... Whatever the outcome is i'm fine with it as i have gone a fair way into the emotionally transition that my little Fam is complete now :D ... My DD just rocks my world with so much love & laughter :pigtail:
... Now i feel bad if i let you ' ALL ' down if it's a neg, hope all of you will like me still, LOL ;)
Don't you talk like that Lorelle! We're all here to support you no matter what :hug:.:
PLUS, we don't like you anyway...we love ya! :p
My mum's mum was fifty when she had her, so you're a spring chicken. ;)
When Maz sees a crow it means someone she knows is pregnant....... No crap either. She's spot on.
Well it would be a lovely surprise for you so I hope the answer is yes!!!
I've been having a little hormonal crisis here myself the last month and more. Somethings up with me and I've come to the conclusion it's hormonal, the tip off was the sore boobies (which I NEVER get). The thing that confuses me is I"ve had the Mirena in for 16months now and that's a constant release of hormone....I can't think what's suddenly changed?!! I was thinking I was pg too (and I was excited with DH cr@pping himself) but I've since had two neg POAS and the sore bb's disappeared in the week.
Sorry for my crash....but I just wanted to share my hormone/body/reproductives are doing weird ***** too....it's freaking me out!!! :D
All the best hun!

one for sorrow
two for joy
three for a girl
four for a boy
and i forget the rest of the poem about crows ....
c'mon test !! and i hope your well woman check up goes well !
Of course you could be. If you are still ovulating you could get pregnant. Some women lose their fertility far earlier than others do. You've already "proved" yourself capable of having a baby later than most do, so it's entirely possible.
If you cycle has been a bit different then it is also possible that you could be having a shorter cycle as well as longer ones.
I too have found my cycle is changing - but mine is going shorter. I recently had a 20 day cycle which I've never experienced in my life (I'm 43). Perhaps you are experiencing a shorter cycle too which of course would mean you have already O'd & could be pregnant.
Some doctors are all doom & gloom about older mums. The first OB I saw at 41 told me I'd be in bed from 30 weeks as I was bound to need bed rest from all the complications I'd get. I switched OBs & the new one treated me just the same as the young ladies as he didn't believe I was at that much higher risk (apart from abnormalities of course). I didn't get any pregnancy complications at all (just slight birth ones) & worked full time right up to 37 weeks. I found it interesting that it was the female OB that was negative. I would never have expected that.
Anyway, I've rambled on enough. Good luck with it all. I hope you get the result you want.
Lorelle, I truly hope you get the answer you're looking for!!
Let us know how you go hun
xxx
best of luck, I hope you have a wonderful surpise very soon, if not tomorrow in 2 weeks... as it does sound like ovulation too me...
you never know when we give up TTC is the time our body lets us concive...
Becstar ... thanks heaps for sharing, so great to know i have a BB pal to ' feel ' weird with, LOL ;) ... yeh, the two OB's i saw were both men ... looked at me like i was some criminal for having my 1st born bub at 40, also they kept verbally reminding me of what age i was (like i had forgotten) ... Well, my two beautiful midwives that saw me all through my entire pregnancy were cheering for me ... My pregnancy was just amazing, i drove everyone insane as i loved being preg so much, infact i told the midwives when i was 38weeks when standing in queue waiting for my appt that i wish i had two more months, needless to say the preg woman standing around me heard what i said & looked at me like i must be nuts.
All i had was HBP (due to being an older expectant Mum) & that was it ... i went onto have a drug-free vag birth (i only went 2days overdue). My midwives treated me like some goddess on the maternity wing, was very funny :D
Satya ... sorry to say BUT it's soooo NICE to know i'm not the only 43year old on the BB block, harr harr ... (lets not tell everyone being in ya 40's sux, let 'em all find out for themelves ... So, frustrating having a heart like a 20something & the inside body works of a 40year old woman, LOL i've gotta laugh or i will start crying) ;)
Trish ... that's so kind & sweet, i wuvz you too :heartbeat:
Oh smiles4u, I do hope it will be a positive for you....if not, of course still love you...are you still on Sharkey's?
... hi ya Cuddlepie :hello:, ... nah, i stopped Sharkey's only this past July when we had decided to no longer TTC ... i'm still a massive fan of Sharkey's as you know my story they helped my 10years of irregular cycle become a 28day one, just that was a miracle ... but the past few months my cycle has become irregular again which is kind of what i expected as i have been through some emotional experiences of late ... THANKU Cuddlepie for remembering (i think of you often here :heartbeat:) xoxox
(i still take Folate each day, that's all now ... i guess just peace of mind just incase !!)
When do you think you will test hun? You have everyone wondering, and wanting to know the outcome. hehehe. Goodluck, it would be such a lovely surprise. hugs
Lorelle - I didn't want to jinx you with my bad luck last night so I didn't post but just know that I'm hoping with every ounce of my being for a big fat ole positive for you.
And I hope whatever the result is, you keep in mind we all love you whether you have one child or 8.
xo
csab ... i happen to have my annual woman's checkup tomorrow so i will ask the GP then, reckon she too will think it's either ovulation or something hormonal changing or maybe the emotional grief of losing my young SIL in Oct that made the shift in things.
I'm not game enough to do a HPT as i feel i will set myself up for a downfall ... and i am truely happy & grateful that i have experienced having my one & only bubba (even though she is almost 3.5years old ;)).
I guess i didn't expect my thread to make such a large impact on so many gorgeous BB gals BUT i'm so glad i did as it has made it a bit of fun for all to share this maybe or maybe not journey ... and it goes to show WE all just about share the same lovely HOPEFUL feeling given whatever the woman's age is :D
Whatever the outcome i couldn't be happier as i got to share it with you ALL as i would imagine it would be the very LAST time i experience this ' maybe ' feeling :grouphug:
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
(Thanks Shari :hug:)
I was meaning to say in my post that my cycle had changed and that I had sore boobs after O and also slight nausea so while trying for DD 1 year old there was quite a few times where I thought I was BFP...and the cycle where i got the 2 lines I had little of those feelings.
I was 40 when i fell BFP with her 41 when i had her and am now 42 with bubs due in March, so anything is possible will be keeping a eye out for good news, older chickies ROCK. ;)
I really enjoyed my last pregnancy and was in great health the whole way, this preg has been a bit more stressful but i certainly don't feel my age and I keep having to correct paperwork cause they are putting me down as born in 1977, verus 1967.:D Yay for me I say!!!
Pam ... would a gorgeous story there :D ... Yeh, us older chicks certainly still ROCK with the best of them :dance::dance:
Smiles - Its nice to have that feeling of maybe? Even if you have to prepare yourself for the downfall of a BFN. It nice to be able to share this with you, We all wish this BFP for you.
As talking about the oldies rocking, well I was at the bank today and this young Teller said to me. So what are you studying? I looked at her and giggled, thinking I dont look like a teeny bopper. :lol: Why would she ask me that? Anyway then it dawned on me, its a student account I handed her. Anyway she then goes on to say, I thought you were going to Uni? Ohhhh, I thought do I look that young, gave me a bit of a thrill as I try to put aside my numerous grey hairs that have appeared on the top of my head( needing a colour big time). :) She must have thought why is she laughing? Yet all I could think of was my goodness someone finally thinks I look young well younger than what I usually get told, hehehe. Even if I dont really feel it. I was also leaning over to my DS saying, see someone thinks I am a student, grinning ear to ear, as he likes to remind me that I am getting on a bit. :D ( Now I am starting to think maybe she thought gee, your an old student? hehehe)
Can't believe I have missed all the excitement! I hope that you are :goodluck: cause new bubbas are always wonderful!!
And on another note I take my hat off to all "older" (and I use that term with love!!) mums!!! I stuggle and I am meant to be an ideal age!!! :lol: The fact that you can keep up with little ones and all that goes with it is to me awe inspiring!! Makes me feel bad for the tired whinges!!
best of luck tomorrow with your check-up
i really hope you are pg, how lovely that would be!
ust popping in to let you know I have been thinking of you and wish you the best tomorrow xx
Best of luck tomorrow. Fingers crossed you have a gorgeous little bubba growing.
Oooh ooh ooh I missed all the excitement - I hope so :D Good luck tomorrow!
good luck tomorrow lorelle. i hope all goes well, whichever way it ends. luv ya
Good luck tomorrow!
I'll be stalkin you tomorrow girlfriend!!
Good Luck hun!!! I hope you get the news you want!! xxoo
I am waiting in anticipation....
Oooh, I am waiting too!!! Good Luck! xx
ooh ooh ooh
Fingers crossed hun
xx
B
can't wait to find out... im stalking you smiles... lol
... OMG, you ladies are just the loveliest :hug:
Well, the news is i had my GP appt this morning for my annual woman's checkup & she insisted on i have a pregnancy test there to which it was negative BUT she said it is far too early in my cycle so it could still be possible, so we test again later or just wait for AF !!
GP said if i'm not pregnant it's unlikely to be ovulation but maybe more to do with either my body going through grief after my SIL death a few weeks ago or caffeine intake could have something to do with it as i was drinking decaf coffee until we decided to no longer TTC#2 and then recently starting to drink the full strength coffee (so that could be why my boobies are just so sore) :rolleyes:
... Anyway, all in all today there still is no answer BUT to be honest i ' still ' don't feel that hopeful which is perfectly fine with me as i truely DO feel my little Family is complete .. i would be happy with either outcome and if anything the " Maybe " feeling was so lovely to have experienced again :heartbeat:
Apart from that today i got a bit of downer news that i have to have a skinspot cut out next Wednesday, biopsy to be done to see if melanoma :shakehead: ... Geez, lucky i still have my humour intact after the events of this year ... All that matters most to me is my lil' Fam is happy, well & ENJOYING life :D
:loveshower:HEARTFELT THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR SUCH KIND WORDS & HOPEFUL THOUGHTS, you all made me feel young again, LOL ;) (will let you know if AF arrives) :dance:
:hug: lorelle...
oh well there is always hope..lol
i hope that the sunspot turns out to be nothing. good luck
for some reason I have goosebumps, but my fingers are still crossed for you.
love love love to you Lorelle xxxxxxxxxxxxxxooooooooooooooo
I just seen this thread lorelle!!
Goodluck with your sunspot next week. I am hoping it will be good news...
And miracles do happen so fingers crossed for the hpt too .
My fingers are crossed for a 'bfp' soon lol
If it helps, my great great grandmother was 52 when she had her 11th child... her eldest daughter had had her first child a few months before too lol
hun, here's wishing you the best.. i really hope you are!!!
all that DTD with a toddler, geez, i dont even have the energy with a 20mths and I'm only 36!!
You inspire us, hun!!
what's the story w the crow? just as i was reading it, adam hill called on this guy on spicks and specks and his name's something mccrow....
Thanks for your well wishes for next week lovely ladies ... GP said i will have a scar on my arm BUT i just didn't care, just feel lucky to be alive these days :D
Prama, one of the gals here said when Maz mentions a crow it means a pregnancy ... funny you mentioned Adam as my DP is an Adam ;)
... i myself have been seeing a single Magpie each day since my SIL's death which i googled means " 1 magpie for sorrow ", BUT yet i haven't seen a magpie since the day i put on this thread !!
... UPDATE ; ... i started spotting since last Thurs with severe cramps & boobies still very sore and then AF arrived yesterday, as all arrived early i spoke with my GP today when having biopsy done and the earliest i could book in with her was in 3wks times :rolleyes: (also find out early next week if melanoma or not with biopsy)
So sorry everyone no great news here ... BUT it was a BEAUTIFUL feeling of HOPE to have even though it was for a little while and it's clear to me now the last time i will EVER experience it :heartbeat: ... i feel so sad & incredibly flat as it felt like i had a last chance there but it wasn't meant to be :cry:
Just hope my little sweet 3.5year old DD " Miss C " will be proud of me one day that i tried for such a long time since she was 14mths old ... and that i still shone some light of hope even at nearly 44years of age !!!
... HEARTFELT THANKS to ' those ' who were hopeful along side me, that was just the loviest xox
