Older mums

Well I'm not sure I have any tips but this is what I did......it might help you!

I went off the pill a year ago and started charting my fertility so that has been really helpful - got to know my body pretty well in that time. To be honest my lifestyle while trying to conceive wasn't exactly role model like, I ov the week of my wedding and I had my best mate staying with me and we drank wine, ate bad food, stayed up late talking and I was busy and stressed - the exact things you aren't supposed to do or be! We wern't really trying hard to conceive, I had it in my mind that I'd be going back to see my Dr in November to get some test done!
I did get myself down to a healthy BMI (was always within it but at the higher end of the scale) but that was for my wedding more than the baby thing! I try to eat healthy, LOVE broccoli and all veges, eat a healthy breakfast every morning and I drink loads of water (at the moment about 3 + litres a day) but normally at least 2 litres a day. And I keep active as well, lots of walking. But really I think its just luck? I've heard of people having no problems the first time around and then struggle for number 2 so who know what the future has in store for us. Good luck happygal, you will get your BFP really soon

Good luck to you too Mizpic...

Good luck to all you lovely ladies, funny at 36 I don't feel 'older' well some days I feel like I'm 80 but most days I feel like I'm 25.

Congrats Mrs Hopeful

Whats in the fertility tea?

According to what I've read stress doesn't have any impact on conception, what is usually does is effect bding. Especially work stress, I'm hanging out for Christmas, DH is taking a month off and me 2 weeks and we'll be away so lots of time to bd and FX we get a BFP.

You can buy the Fertiltea online from Baby for you, it has chasteberry, red raspberry, peppermint etc, its quite nice, been to be really good for conceiving.. Will keep taking it, Im taking Elevit too and evening primrose oil!!

hahaha I was getting moaned at this morning that the only reason DF has been getting heaps this month is cause we are trying to make babies...............he reckons when I get UTD he'll be on his own again   Poor boy feels so used

haha Buttersmum, my DH was joking like that too.. Poor boys huh!

So Mrs Hopeful, did you get any pregnancy symptoms before you got your BFP? Im getting nervous and excited about when I have to test...

Cool, thanks for that Mrs Hopeful..... Just so I know what to look out for hopefully soon!!

mrshopeful how soon did you became really hungry?

in the last couple of days i have been hungry ALL the time (even the girls at work have noticed!) and my boobs have been tender (may be because AF is on its way)

Hi everyone. Well we finally plucked up the courage to test this morning. I was so nervous. Peed on the stick and it immediately gave me a BFP!! Arrrgh, I'm in complete shock!
