Almost 44 final ttc journey -- buddies needed : )

Hello ladies and welcome justme. Sorry for your loss, it's certainly tougher to get that sticky bean in your 40's but by no means impossible, we just have to be that extra bit patient.

Carmel, I think it is very normal to have fears around getting pregnant. We are not in the position of being able to take pregnancy for granted like other ladies do, but then should anyone be so carefree about growing a whole new little person? You are very able to get pregnant and it is only a matter of time before you get your keeping baby.

Rachelle, looking forwards to you popping back in, it's sounds like your trip has been tiring for you and how annoying to have forgotten your vits :dohh:

Tara I will look forward to joining you in December TTC, if I can get my cycles back on track. I am cycle day 54 and today had a really strong positive OPK (I think!). No temp change yet. Time will tell.

Have a nice weekend :flower:
 
Hi ladies, how is everyone? Cd 12 for me and unusually I'm feeling really sick today, I've had ovulation sickness before but only a few times, I've also got ewmc and cramps but cd 12 is a little early for me! We are v relaxed and not trying as such just bd as we normally would, good luck to everyone xxxx
 
Hey ladies how are you all doing?

Becks are you in 2www hun? Are you still feeling relaxed about ttc hun?

I have no idea what is going on with me. 4 weeks post mc now and bleeding spotting stopped last Friday. I was doing opks Nd they looked like they were getting more and more colour on Saturday (didn't get a + ever though) and then they went blank sunday & no colour since. I don't think I Of but I'm hoping that small surge might have done something and I might be in 2www now and might get af in about week and a half. What do u think ladies?

Hope everyone is well xx
 
Yeah hunni I think so I think I either didn't o or o early as ewmc all gone by cd13 which is v early for me. I had that odd 24 day cycle last month so dunno what this month will bring. You may get another surge and o. Fingers crossed xxx
 
Carmel, it sounds like your body is getting back on track, don't worry too much about not getting a positive OPK, it could be that your urine was too dilute, just having a line appear indicates your fertile period is coming up soon :flower: With my last pregnancy I was using the clear blue FM and it never gave me a peak day but as I conceived that cycle I must have O. Hopefully you are in the 2ww now.

Becks, glad you are feeling so relaxed about TTC, I wish I could be that way but I always feel I have a battle on my hands. I guess as I had both my kids late I have always had age related fertility problems and always had difficulty conceiving.

I am now on cycle day 60 and have now missed 2 AF, I am taking soy on what would have been the beginning of this cycle to try and force an ovulation but am not hopeful. I can't go to my GP because she doesn't want me to get pregnant again as I live in Wales and we get free prescriptions. I'm on a very cheap medication which will need to be changed to a very expensive medication if I get pregnant again.

I know I can get Provera on the internet so that will be my next step if my temps don't show O in the next couple of weeks. I expected TTC to be difficult but I can't even get my body ready for TTC, it's very frustrating ](*,)
 
So sorry I know how frustrating and heartbreaking it is:( if I stop for a minute and let myself think about everything I get too upset so I just distract myself constantly and even walking past the baby girl clothes in Asda yest normally I get so sad but I just told myself, that's all over now, I really don't believe I would have another successful pregnancy I've lost too too many and I've been forced to accept the reality because of this, I know how terribly sad and unfair it is and a little part of me will always want for another but this has taken over my life for 3 years now and I can't do it anymore hence why we are ntnp, I would always be over the moon if it happened but I also am quite sure it won't and I think I've just come to the end of the line with it all. I'm wishing you masses of luck and I'm behind all you ladies still ttc xxxx
 
Thanks Becks hopefully ur relaxed attitude will help protect you from any more sadness hunni and you never know you might just get ur sticky rainbow baby without stressing or worrying about it!Are you going to test at all or just wait for af?

Mel I would be changing gps if I were u hun no doctor has the right to tell u that u can't ttc due to the price of medication cheeky c*w! I would be peed off too with a 60 day cycle so I think ur right to pro-actively intervene x I'm going to take soy iso once my cycle is back properly xxx

I was delighted yesterday as cd31 & I thought af had arrived as sorry for tmi had bright red bleeding and needed a pad for it. It lasted about 11 hours and I was gutted when it stopped last night though and nothing since! Now I'm wondering whether it was the retained placenta broken down and I shud just expect af in 28 days aghhhhh! So fed up and just want to move on now .....

Hope everyone else is well x
 
Carmel I really hope that was the last little bit gone and you can move forward:) I'm still testing can't help myself lol but having no idea where I am (possibly about 5dpo) I won't yet. No symptoms whatsoever though but I don't dwell on it much anymore xxx
 
Becks :hugs: Sometimes we just have to do what keeps us strong and sane. Keeping relaxed and stress free can be just as productive as going down the crazy, timed and POAS road. I am generally not a stress free person :haha: so I'm gonna keep my POAS addiction going.

Carmel you are making progress although I am sure it is frustrating for you. I would have thought it was more than just that last piece of placenta coming out if the blood was bright red, maybe your lining didn't have time to thicken this cycle. Give your body time to get back on track :hugs:

I still haven't had a temp shift so am still in limbo. I have ordered Provera online and also Clomid. I'm not sure I'll ever take the Clomid, just starting to think I'm more out of time than I thought I was. Just want to keep my options open.
 
Hey ladies just had to check in and say I'm soo delighted to get some proper bleeding, some small bits of clotting and proper af cramps!! Bleeding started small bit yesterday but properly today shudder I count today or yesterday as cd1 do you think?

How is everyone doing?
 
Well ladies, FF tells me I ovulated on day 62, just after my 5 days of Soy :happydance: The cramps that I've had for the last month have gone too. It was either a huge coincidence or Soy really works. I now just need to see what state my LP is in, before my last pregnancy it was 9 days so can't afford to have it any shorter.

Carmel glad to see AF has started, I would say CD1 was the first day you needed to use a pad. Fingers crossed this is a lucky month for you.

Hope the rest of you are doing ok :flower:
 
Carmel fantastic news about AF:) I'm about 8dpo with no symptoms whatsoever but that's ok I wasn't expecting anything tbh. I have my hospital app 2mora morning. Quite hard for me atm as two due dates coming up for me, the baby I lost at 6 weeks in Feb was due 5th October and the lo I lost at 12 weeks in May was due 19 Nov a few days before my birthday, really trying not to but it's impossible not to think on what should have been. Feeling sad today:( xxxx

There are always these dates to remind us :hugs: my last MC started on Mother's Day just as I was hosting a lunch for my In-laws. Fate sometimes like to choose a special day to stomp all over. Grieve your losses, then pack them back up in your heart and get on with being the strong and positive woman that you are :hugs:

Sorry for your loss luna, but I think you stated that beautifully..
 
Hey ladies,

First AF showed up yesterday nearly 5 weeks post D&C. Started light but now she is showing off today. But I am not complaining because that says things are getting back to normal and as soon as she gets the heck out of here - I'll be trying for my rainbow baby.

Baby dust to all..
 
Great news and new beginnings. I found out today at my hospital app the baby I lost in May at 12 weeks had Downs. It was quite a shock but some of the guilt I've felt at thinking it was stress/something I did etc has been lifted. I guess at least I can stop wondering and wondering why. We are being sent for genetic testing xxx
 
Ahh Becks I'm so relieved for u hun xxx at least u know what went wrong and it will give you a tiny bit of piece of mind xxx that is great for the genetic testing hun what does that involve?

Awww honey bless your heart and that of your little one.

I am glad you were able to find that out because I completely understand the burden of carrying that "what if" around with you. Not knowing is horrible because it gives our imagination freedom to all over the place.

The genetic counselor can be extremely helpful. The Maternal Fetal Specialist I saw yesterday was great. She also made me feel better about a few things I was stressing over.

I know that the counselor will provide additional relief for you. Sometimes things happen and it does not mean that it will happen again.

Hey there Sunshine.. Absolutely... I'm cd2
 
Hey ladies how are you all doing?

I'm very fed up as still bleeding heavy and seems like it's never ending. Sorry to be gross but I passed a solid lump of placenta stuff yesterday (was almost sick looking at it was so yucky!) I thought that was the bit of retained stuff and bleeding would ease off now but it's still heavy and bright red - sooo fed up just feels like getting over the mc is never ending. It's only 5.5 weeks since mc but feels never ending!!

Hope everyone else is doing better than me? How are you all. Any news Mel? How u doing Becks and Just me.

Hi to Tara, Wish, Peanut hope ur all well xx
