Over 35's beginning the journey #2

I am so glad AF hasn't arrived yet - so far so good!!! I have everything crossed for you too! Promise tomorrow you will test if no sign of AF? You can't keep us in suspense like this (because it is all about the rest of us you know...lol)

I hope that the test was positive this morning, Debstar. My fingers are crossed for you.

How are you travelling, Kazza? Any sign of AF? If it does show up, I think it's definitely worthwhile booking an appt to see a FS. It gives you some piece of mind knowing that you have that as a back-up, and takes off some of the immediate pressure. And hopefully just the act of booking it will be enough to kick Murphy's Law into action.

It's been a hectic two weeks for me. After having our first scan a couple of weeks ago, I've been promoted (yay - will mean a higher salary during my three months of maternity0 and informed I was off on an overseas work trip for work. I was initially hesitant, but both the midwife and the travel doctor couldn't see any reason why I couldn't or shouldn't travel, so I'm now sitting waiting for my (horribly delayed, of course!) flight (to be followed by a couple more yet...).

It hasn't been without drama, though. Last Friday afternoon I had another episode of some blood spotting in my CM. (Not much, but enough to set me off worrying). I did a ring around and finally managed to get a last minute scan to check all was okay, so we've now seen our little one again. Part of me worries about too much ultrasound, but at the same time I'd be a basket case right now if we hadn't seen him/her safely growing and with a lovely little 170bpm heartbeat- can't think of much worse than miscarrying your baby alone in a foreign country where they don't even speak your language. Anyway, I'm feeling a lot better now - the stats are 98% in our favour! I guess if nothing else, this trip will keep my mind busier and hopefully not dwelling on the 12 week scan that I'll have when I get back.

[Debstar76]

Oh Kazza I am so sorry......book the appointment and u will have all ur bases covered

[Kazza78]

Thanks debster. I think we also need to bd more often. Maybe in my mind I have been scared to fall preg again. Lots of bd in feb. And will book appt

[Debstar76]

I know what u mean.....it is natural to be fearful and we felt that way last month so.didn't try. This month we were.christening the house and not thinking about pregnancy too much. Coping with the loss of a little one is hard and I think about it every day, I am sure u do too. Look after yourself. Maybe u could plan a romantic weekend away with couples massages and relax. It could be about reconnecting rather than bubbas and see what happens?

I just looked back on all of my charts. It seems that ov day every time the temp rise started on that day not day after then had a second rise in the days after and we have not bd on those days.
I will make sure we will bd on the day of temp rise

[Kazza78]

Thanks. Seems we typed our post at the same time
