treelo - i always said i'd give up at 36, but i just turned 38 and still trying. I never really stopped trying after having Alexander, just spent a few years "not trying" but hoping it would happen, and the pg last year was such a shock especially when it happened straight after our friend was murdered, just goes to show it can happen when least expected, the only thing is i don't have another 10 years to keep trying LOL. Keep positive.
Oh, treelo, it will happen for you, I know it will! :hug: Hope your headache goes away--I see you weren't able to stay away from us for long! Hope you feel better soon.
mollycat & treelo--36 & 38 are still pretty young, you know, just look at all these 40 year-olds having babies nowadays! You get smarter as you get older, and much more appreciative of life--you can only get better as a mom the older you get!
AFM... I'm definitely feeling the urge to POAS!!! It's making me crazy! :wall: Tomorrow's the day, but I was going to try to wait until Fri. to test. There's just no way I can stand to wait until Fri. Have had tingly bb's all day! I keep telling myself first morning urine would be best... I'm telling you,though, I'm really having to fight off this urge to test right now! :excited:
Hey ladies--haven't been on in a few days, come back and you're all talking about dollar stores! My fave here in Pennsylvania is the Dollar Tree. We also have a chain called FiveBelow where everything is $5 or less
But back on topic, I can't test until Friday next week. And I can't cheat, either, because of the ovudrel shot. If I tested now, I'd get a false pos. No thanks.
jen805: the first three birthday parties I held for my son, afterward when all the guests went home I took a nap!
I don't want to get your hopes up and be mean, but I wouldn't test with a dollar store test--it could be too close to the expiration date or it could have been stored at the wrong temperature in the warehouse. I'm keeping fingers crossed
mollycat: hey and welcome. And I"m having sympathy pains for you after that description of the lab
plc1805: I think i'm the opposite of you--i refuse to put any significance at all on anything my body'd doing! epsecially since I'm the type of person who can talk herself into having symptoms (headache, cramps, that sort of thing.)
smilanatu and treelo: so sorry about AF
tempus--Hey, glad your back! I have a Dollar Tree here,too, but don't worry, I won't be buying anymore HPT's from there! Bought a new one from WalMart yesterday and will use it tomorrow! Feeling pretty nervous! :excited:
Jen - so u have decided to test on Thursday? cos of the day ahead, when I said "1 day to go" I meant cos today is Thursday and one more day would be the Friday :lol:!!! U do what u like honey - it's ur bod after all!!! I have everything crossed for u :hug:
hey tempus - yeah, I've changed my approach a little and not reading much of anything into anything - I do that, one day something will really trouble me, the next it's like "what was it that was bothering me?". So it's a fairly cruisy day today :dance: GL to u honey - I sure do wish it for u :)
I hear u all on the age factor. I will be 37 next month & I feel I am trying to fall pg at least one more time before I am 40 but if I didn't by then, would I keep going? And if I had one more, would I perhaps try for a third? Boy! I'm having trouble with the whole 37 thing - but I know what I'm like, when I hit 37 I'll feel it's not so bad - I always feel like I am 10 years younger anyway. Anyway, that's my ramble.
:crossfingers: everyone!
my age thing comes from my mum - i'm the youngest of 7 kids and mum was 40 when i was born, i always thought she was old and didn't want to do the same to my kids, but when it comes down to it, i know i still feel quite young, so i should be the same, just don't want to get old and cranky with a little one.
jen - good luck for tomorrow we'll all cross our fingers for you
plc--Yep, I think I'm going to give it a go tomorrow! Just can't handle the extra day, I just have to know one way or the other. Still feeling tingling in bb's, have been gassy and bloated last night and tonight, plus the cold sore... My body better not be playing a cruel trick on me! :pray:
Thanks mollycat! We must have been typing our posts at the same time! I'll keep everyone posted!
Why is it that our bodies seem to enjoy playing tricks on us? POAS= :bfn: I have to say, I really thought it would turn out different :( My last hope is that it's just still too early, although I doubt it. Technically could still have conceived on 14th which was the last time we BD'd, which would probably make it too early for a + result, but I don't want to get my hopes up about that.
mollycat...I said the same thing...if I'm not pregnant by 36 I am finished...BUT here I am just turned 37 a couple of weeks ago and I want another child!!! So treelo...don't put limits on yourself...everything will work in its own time...we just want it when we want it which is NOW!!!
:hug: Oh Jen - that is SO disappointing :( I know, it sounded so promising!!! But u know that u should wait for AF cos that witch really sorts out whether u r or not. :hug:
treelo - ul get there honey - we all will!!!
plc--Thanks again, and sorry for mixing you up with AJC! :lol: I woke up at 3 and had to pee so bad, but wanted to save it till I got up to POAS. So I slept terrible from 3-5 till I finally couldn't hold it anymore and had to get up. I must say, I really think I kinda went into shock or something--I just really thought it would be positive, KWIM? Of course you do, everyone here does--which is why it's so comforting here with all of you!
Thanks to everyone--don't know what I would do without you all! :grouphug:
honey - how r u doin? U ok? chin up, hun, ur still not out for this cycle.... huge hugs!!
Well I am done for this month. AF the horrible cow arrived at 6am this morning with a bang.:doh: I was so sure that I would be celebrating this month. With all of the sick feelings and milk coming from BBs. I guess I ws just being fooled yet again.
Well roll on next TWW. Who knows, it may just be our lucky month.
Take care everyone.
Kim
Cieras mummy--Sorry to hear about AF :( I, too, thought I would be celebrating. How can our bodies play such tricks on us? :angry:
I've been watching this show called Miami Ink, it's about a tattoo shop. I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but there was an Australian woman on that kept cracking me up. She made me think of all my new Aussie friends! It was so cute, though, she pronounced tattoo as "tadoo"--and I love it! Is that how you pronounce it? It was really cute and gave me my first chuckle of the day! :lol: I wish I could hear these posts instead of having to read them--I love the accent!
Keeping my chin up, plc! Hanging in there.... On the same show I was just telling you about, there was a man getting a tattoo in remembrance of his wife and baby. She was pg. and there were complications, and he ended up losing BOTH of them! It really put things in perspective for me... Our losses were so great, but could you imagine how our families would've felt if they'd lost us as well? It made me feel like a schmuck for feeling sorry for myself all day!
My favourite show Jen....and some of the stories on there, really make you take stock of what you have and realise that things could have been so much worse.
sorry about your bfn hun, but as i always say, it aint over till the fat lady sings....so there is still a little hope there.
:grouphug: for us all, we are in this fight together.
treelo
Hi ladies,
Hope you're all doing well.
Well im back in the TWW....here we go again hey??? :rolleyes:
Thankgod all you wonderful ladies are here to talk to, I cant remember how I got through the tww before I found BB :)
Sorry for the short impersonal post but I must put my chef skills (yeah right!) into action and whip something up to feed the family...duty calls
:hug: to all,
Issy
Welcome back Issy - yay on ur bd fest and now it's time for a rest :) (aren't I the poet?!) GL sweet!!
treelo--Hope AF is taking it easy on you! Still no AF for me, but I don't hold out much hope that she won't show. I'm just not that lucky, honestly, it's been my life story! Only once did it work out in my favor, and that was when I was pg with my 14 yo DS. When I was about 2 mo's pg I had to have my appendix removed. They told me that he would probably spontaneously abort, and I was so sad, but what choice did I have? They wouldn't even let me leave the hospital to go home and pack some things. My appendix ended up rupturing during surgery, and I was in the hospital for 5 days with a tube & bag hanging from my stomach. It was still too early to hear a :heartbeat:, and I was only 18, so they weren't overly concerned with the fact that I was pg. It was such a miracle that he survived! Now he's a grumpy teenager that at times I feel like strangling--but I wouldn't change it for the world! BTW, I like your new ticker!
issy--:welcome: back to the tww!
plc-- :hello: When do you test?
Cierasmummy--Hope AF's not being too hard on you! :crossfingers: for next cycle!
