Hi ladies,
It seems very quiet on here lately, just wondering if we had any updates....

here's mine...

after a long wait AF showed up after 50 days....at one point felt I was pregnant, felt really awful, did 3 pg test and got a PFN.
Anyway back to the start again, not sure how long this cycle will be, as I was always 29/30 days before, so fingers crossed it goes back to that.

So fingers crossed for you all and enjoy the sunny weekend.

Lots of love

hi there ,its aquiet forum this one ,i just think most of us are busy and its hard to get online .i hope you keep going and get some good news.myself ive had erpc in dec and early mc in may so i dont know what to think this month.ive no symptoms at all just a bit bloaty.im due af 9/10 june so was very bold and tested but way too early yet.lol i just cant help it even tho naturally i get a bfn . my eldest is doing exams at mo so the house is upside down.ive another girl of nearly ten and a boy of eight .thought wed have room for one more (i mean it!!!) but this one is playing peek a boo.xxxxim 37 now so i dont feel past it yet.good luck older mummies hope for bfp this monthxxxxx

Hi Dinky and Roisine, how are you both doing? Dinky, did you do anything to get af back or did it come of its own accord? I am on day 122 and pretty fed up but then i am 48 so my chances are so slim anyway. I'll keep trying until mother nature tells me i have gone through menopause or i reach 49 + 3 months because i dont want to be giving birth after 50. That leaves me with 12 months or less if my af doesnt show up by February!!!!
Good luck everyone, hope we all get bfps soon :-)
lots of love, bluebird xxxx

Hi Ladies,

well you just wouldn't believe it....after a really odd time and having a cycle of 50 days, AF showed up, not that it was a long one....anyway been busy with DH trying not to get hung up on charting and temp taking etc etc
did a test last Wednesday as my boobs were so sore, tummy ache, guess what I got a BFP!!!!!

It is very early days and today I am 5 weeks, but I waited till fathers day to tell my other half, he was so shocked and so am I.

We haven't told anybody else yet, which is also so hard, want to tell friends and family but it does seems very early to me, also besides sore boobs, feel ok, a little tried on a night but I always feel tired on a night.

Fingers crossed.

The next thing is next week I am going on a boozy hen weekend to see take that, to the theatre and lots of other things, so I think I will have to tell those ladies, but I will have to ask them to keep it really quiet, don't really want to tell my son just yet as I do have a long way to go yet.

Really please but I think still a little shocked.

Hope you are both ok and fingers crossed for you ladies.

Best wishes

Woo Hoo Dinky, that's fantastic news, You must be chuffed to bits! Many congratulations to you and dh. Really hope that you have a happy and healthy 9 months. Please do keep in touch and let us know how you are getting on.
Take good care, lots of love, bluebird xxxx

Dinky Congratulations!!!

I told DH two years ago on Fathers Day I was pregnant with our dd. So you're having a February baby then?

bluebird, I've been reading a few threads on here and all I can say is kudos to you girl! You are determined and I REALLY hope and pray you get your BFP - you deserve it!

Hi Ladies
Thanks for your kind words, I am really pleased. Yes my baby will be due in February, the same month my DH will be 43, and I will be 39...OMG...
Will let you all know how it goes, I am 7 weeks this week and going to see the MW for the first time on Thursday, I took me 2 weeks to get an appointment.
Take care ladies

Hi Roisine, any news? Did af get you or are you now pg? Realy hope that you are hun.
Thanks HMVDB, you are so kind. I have been really determined but it seems all in vain now. I lost my little bean when i was 45 and a half and nothing since. Seriously wishesd i had pursued the fertility clinic route earlier as i was still ovulating perfectly normally up to 47 but it seems to have gone crank now! I am on CD145 and getting menopausal symptoms now :-( Ah well, i gave it my best shot :-) (actually i am still trying just in case!!! lol)
xxxx

oh the old bag got me was really down this time but was at my db wedding (had lots to do) so i hadnt time to dwell.amazingly enough that time out gave me my pma back.i had such an amazing time i didnt want to come home.but onwards and upwards. heres a thought for you all. maybe if others here have children already.i was working out the other three kids conception dates and it was never in the the summer i always seemed to get preg in autumn /spring.i wonder if everyone has a right time of year let alone time of month.i got preg in sept 08 (sadly mmc).just a thought and does anyione have a glut of birthdays on a particular month in their families ??? interesting cause i asked some friends and they do .hhmmm methinks ive too much time on my hands lol!!!!!!!

well got kinda spoked in case at 37 everything was going belly up.decided to get those clearblue ovulation tests.thing is getting smiley faces .had af on 8th july so bang on but i tried at diff times of day and still smiley faces.so i must be fertile. so i suppose lsh isnt problem theres egges in there so noe im thinkin what do i have to do swing from a chandalier!!!lol but i got comfort knowing its not over.so here goes for august testing.betcha nothin will happen till autumn. just an experiment if anyone has read my last post.good luck ladies hope its your turnxxxx

after all this time,a very strong bfp on a cheapie test.have to go out and get a clearblue dig to say .god i hope this one stays been a long year ,thinkin of all you other ladies hope you get your news soon xxxxx im all a fluster thought the game was up.xxxxx

Hi ladies, had my triple test result back! 1:2630 not bad for 38 eh.x

Roisine!!!!! Did i read this right??? You got your bfp? That's fantastic news. Many congratulations. Praying for a sticky one for you. When is the little one due????

Excellent news MandyEvs, well dun. Have a happy & healthy pregnancy too :-)

Guess that means that i am the last one left :-(

lots of love, bluebird xxxx

hey bluebird,dinky ,mandyeves(great news for you by way ),
yup tested four days early and clearblu says 1-2 weeks today but i feel its more the 2 cause i mustve ovd a few days early ?? the bfp was sooo strong on the cheapie.so im glad i got the clearblue.im still in shock .just have a bit of gas (had it for two days previous but thought couldnt be sign.) and a stretchy feeling in sides.not like the pain at christmas was soo sore at night allthe time.so hope it sticks.good luck ladies and hope bluebird joins us soon ,its nice to have you guys.xxxxx

Hello everyone,

I came across this thread as I am doing some research for a documentary about pregnancy at the moment.

I am currently working on a 1 hour authored documentary on pregnancy for the BBC, featuring Cherry Healey. In the film Cherry will meet seven other pregnant women at seven different ages and stages of pregnancy. Through their personal stories and experiences we hope to discover more about the changing trends in conception, pregnancy, birth and early motherhood across women of all ages in the UK.

It is thought that the number of women giving birth over the age of 40 has
doubled in 10 years, and I feel that to illustrate this well it would be
fantastic for Cherry to meet someone close to the age of 40 or over who has become pregnant, either naturally or through a donor egg or insemination.

If there is anyone who would be willing to share their experience with
Cherry or is interested to find out more about the documentary I would love the opportunity to speak to you confidentially.

Please contact me at sophie.mohamed@renegadepictures.co.uk or 020 7449 3228

Kind regards

Sophie
