That's wonderful news. Sorry about your miscarriages. It must have been awful for you. I've been through two similar experiences. I'm so glad to hear of other older women TTC and succeeding. Not that I feel old! But it's very reassuring. Unfortunately, I've started my AF this morning...

Hi Mandy, I understand how you feel. I haven't lost three babies at once but have lost two on separate occasions. I decided not to try again because it was so bad losing them. I have changed my mind now, but I just wanted you to know that you're not alone. It does get better - and no you won't...

Ooh you poor thing. That sounds awful. What a lovely boy you've got there though. It's almost worth going through sickness and diarrhea (I don't know how to spell it either)! Sounds like he's much happier than with the beauty therapist! I'm a weight loss coach/counsellor and I run an online...

Hi, Thanks for letting me know your early symptoms. I'm glad, Skatty, that you told me about your 'one nipple' change because I've got changes in one too. I didn't know that could happen! Mind you, I'm jumping the gun and don't know yet. I felt sure this morning, now I'm not. I'm going...

Wow! What a fabulous welcome. I feel so at home already. Thank you so much for all your well wishes. xx

Thanks for the tip about the book. I'll have a look on Amazon for it. I've just been for a walk and had some waves of nausea, but I know your mind can trick you. My breasts are killing me though. It started last night. Shooting pains unlike anything I've felt before. I don't want to go into too...

Hi Anna Marie, I don't know anything about temps etc yet, but I'm sure I will as I get more experience at this. I'll be sure you be asking your advice! Sorry for your three losses. It's very upsetting and makes you feel insecure about ever becoming a mum - but you're living proof that you...

Thanks. NOW I understand. I've printed that out. I haven't used an OPK because I can usually feel it. I also use a site called www.mymonthlycycles.com, which if you track all of your AFs really (spookily) accurately predicts your ovulation dates even if you're irregular. Going to keep...

Hi again. Me too! My neighbour was even more impatient than me when I told her I was feeling a bit rough she rushed round with a test and waited outside the bathroom door. It was negative of course - because it was only three days after possible conception! But even though I new it wouldn't...

Hi Tankett, Thanks. Yes, it is great in an age gap relationship and all those stories about incompatability are completely untrue! My boy loves older women and I've never felt insecure with him. He's very cute too - but he always fancies women like Fern Britton and Amanda Redman and when young...

Hello again, I just replied to your reply to my post in another thread. It's nice to meet you. I read your reply to the girl who has sadly miscarried and you seem like such a lovely caring person. It's nice to meet you. :D And masses of baby dust to you. x

Hello Jaidy baby, Thanks for the reassurance. I know someone who had their first at 43 as well, so it gives me hope when I hear of others too. We've been trying since December. A bit half-heartedly at first (half-hearted about working out the ovulation dates, not the sex!), because I...

I know I may have left it too late. Got some strange symptoms (underlying waves of nausea and one really sore breast) but I'm not sure if I am pregnant or not. Too early to do a test. Starting to feel anxious now that I'm too old to conceive. My partner is only 30, so he's ok! Is anyone...

I don't know if I'm pregnant or not. Your post has given me hope. I've been pregnant twice before and also felt very strong symptoms the day after conception then. The first time I felt pain like ovulation pain but times 10 and I had to lie down. The second time I felt REALLY ill and kept going...

Mandy, I'm new here but I just wanted to say how sorry I am. I can't imagine how devastated you must feel. This will probably make you feel like giving up hope, but don't do that. Give yourself time to grieve and allow yourself to feel upset because it's a natural process. Then begin...
