[/QUOTE] What date did you get your BFP?[/QUOTE]
Hi Sammy Hope your feeling better !
It was really weird actually. We are very spiritual people and had given up having a baby after losing the last one three years ago. We had a Grandson last October and nearly lost our daughter in law when he was 9 weeks old (pancreatitis from gallstones in pregnancy) We have been looking after him regularly since) I have just lost two stone in weight and got fit walking. But had forgot how hard work a baby can be
I wasnt due on my peroid until the 17th July. We were displaying at an event and travelling down on the 9th July my husband said twice I think your pregnant. I said " dont be daft im menopausal and anyway not at my bloody age , Thanks very much"
We returned home and 6am Monday morning I was having a wee when something told me to take a test. (I had an old one that you take the day after ) So I stopped weeing popped downstairs and weed on the stick. Cos of my age I said out loud " you daft moo your menopausal. Stared at the stick- nothing , but I couldnt focus in (age) Took it into lounge, made a cuppa, put my glasses on . Went to throw it in bin and nearly fainted at the positive result. That was 6 days before I was due. I telephoned the Coal mine and asked them to get my Dh to phone home urgently.
The converstion was " you idiot with your preminitions, Im pregnant"
DH " how did that happen "
"Umm its a bit late in the day for the birds and the bees"
When he came home he bought two expensive 6 dya before tests and they were clear positives.
I will be honest and say I have had mixed emotions. We do want this baby but the times I have built my hopes up and then been crushed has left me mentally exhausted. Five times I have been for a scan to be told no heart beat. I had a little girl at 25.5 weeks so you can imagine Im stresed to very late into my pregnancies,
One of my meds I have had to stop as I have had an adverse reaction quite severe. My insides swelled up and the discomfort was unbearable. Front & back passages. I beleive at my age even without this, if its meant to be it is.
In the past I never felt this way , I suppose its my way of coping mentally if it goes wrong.
It is however a miracle to be there. We paid £4000 for Tony to have a reversal five years ago , I got caught twice and lost them. Then Tonys sperm count was alot lower (which sometimes happens after reversal) What with me starting the menopausal age . If this one survives we are picking a name that means miracle, blessing, gift in its meaning.
Hope I havent bored you to death , its just nice to talk to people that truly understand
