Team Angels

[Widger]

I think there is a boy conspiracy going on as 7 out of the 12 ladies on the Clomid Graduates group are expecting boys too!! Men are going to take over the world at this rate!!

Let me think - RobenR, Rebaby, Toby2, Tink, Kota, Widger, BKLove, Mum2bewaiting - ALL BOYS!!!!

Have I missed anyone?

 

[Widger]

Thanks you two - no, not going back - didn't see Leslie and am resigned to being at risk of simply being too old to have good eggs - yes I did take aspirin. I'm getting increasingly sore breasts and nausea every month since Jan which is really frustrating because it gets my hopes up - but I hear it's just one of the many pleasures of heading rapidly towards 40 - I haven't given up hope but am resigned to it being a long uphill struggle which may not lead anywhere in the end.

Widger - I'd love to even it up with another girl - but at least I've got my one!

Why you not going back out of interest Chilli? Did they not tell you what next steps would be?

 

[Baby-Cakes]

Congrats BK

Chilli, was feeling exactly the same a few months ago. I try not to come on here too often incase it upsets some angel ladies xx

Welcome to all the new angel ladies, hope your stay is a short one xx

 

[RobenR]

Baby-Cakes I am the same. I remember how I felt when I first came here and how it was like a physical blow seeing others having babies when mine had gone. I'm always afraid and paranoid I'm going to upset someone because we've all gone through enough pain.

Chilli - I *know* things are going to look up for you. Not sure what your age is, but after losses, my sister in law, who is 38 and high risk anyway is now 5 months pregnant with my future niece/nephew. Never give up hope!

 

[Chilli]

Thanks for all your lovely comments - I really needed to hear them -and I really didn't mean to make anyone feel bad.

I'm 39 now and my cycles have changed completely over last year, gone from regular 28 days with 4-5 days heavy bleed to anything from 26 upwards with 2days spotting and one day bleed. I am completely losing my memory and have more symptons of perimenopause than you can shake a stck at - including all the failed pgs... but I just can't accept that it won't happen for us again.

I don't plan on going back to ST M's as I 'm not sure there's any point - had my results and that's that! My FSH was 12 which is borderline and I guess they'll put it down to that.

Here's a couple of questions:
I know that +OPK doesn't mean definitely OV'd but is there another way of knowing for definite?

Also do they test progesterone levels as standard at St M.s'?

Really sorry if I've made anyone feel bad here, you all know that I am pleased for you all... I don't need to explain do I?

 

[Peach Blossom]

They don't do anything as standard at St Marys due to the various different issues women can have. I think it would be worth going in to see them again. Of course they can only help with the mc side of things in that clinic. The subfertility is something different and they may not treat combined as the 2 things aren't necessarily connected... My mcs and subfertility were entirely separate which was very frustrating. However mr Rai and Mr lavery communicated to discuss what treatment would be best. Really think it's worth talking to a few more specialists hon. xx

 

[bklove]

Chilli, I sure know how you feel, i've been in that boat and I know there isn't much I can say to help with that feeling, but I stood where you were and now i'm here, so please hold on to the possibility of what could be.

Thanks for all the love and thoughts! things are going well, even getting slightly better at managing the time/sleeplessness. Check out the journal for a pic.

 

[toby2]

((((((((((chilli))))))))))-keep thinking of a million and one things i want to say to you and then keep remembering that sometimes they dont help,lots of love to youxxxxx
You know the boy thing, i think its could be to do with the ttc thing, there is a theory that says girl sperm last longer than boy sperm so to have a girl you should stop baby dancing as soon as you ov but all us ttc would NEVER do that, a ttc lady sees that as a sign to go go go, not stop!I belong to another group on another forum and out of the 12 of us who have had babies,9 are boys!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Yeah! I had the same theory Toby!! A testosterone conspiracy is more fun to believe in though!!!

 

[Chaos]

I'm just thinking... haven't all the team angel mums all had boys?

I've got a girl! Although she was before my recent loss .. funny enough I was hoping for a boy this time around haha

 

[Peach Blossom]

Stick with us chaos and it'll be guaranteed!!

How you doing hun?

 

[Chilli]

Mmm - some interesting theories about the boy girl issue - I think you might be right Toby!

Also thanks for you thoughts Toby - I know you'd all make it better if you could.

Hi Chaos!

I'm currently 2 days late for AF but have tested again this morning to be sure and there's nothing going on. I'm just getting this horrible brown watery discharge instead of AF right now, which I particularly hate as the first time I got it was the first indication I had that I had lost baby Soloman.

But hey you can't keep us team angels girls down can you? I have just started taking maca and royal jelly (having made sure that I'm not pg) and also organised with doc to have progestrone levels tested this month! I'm particularly happy about the prog as can't believe I didn't think of it before - I have nearly all the symptoms: early MCs, bloating, foggy thinking (just ask my boss!!) sore boobs, PMS (just ask my husband!?? lol) fatigue, anxiety, low sex drive (not good when TTC), migranes and depression! Please let this all help - I WANT MY BABY! Anniversary of Soloman's due date is coming up on the 9th and I'm no closer than I was last year! Thanks for listening

 

[Chilli]

Also a tip for all you new Mums, when you start giving them food & snacks (before you know it!!) don't give them raisons which you would think were great and healthy but actually stick to their teeth and cause cavities! My poor little girl who barely ever has sweets & brushes twice a day has just had to have her first filling and the dentist said it was more than likely all the raisons she used to eat!

 

[bklove]

Can i tell u today i threw out a small pharmancy of ttc "vitamins" from b12 to b6, folic acid, vitex and stuff i dont even know why i had it!lol.

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

hey everyone, just thought I would pop in to see how you are all getting on and announce my LO, but is seems Widger got there first

My little boy, Toby, arrived on the 21st August, after weeks of BH's and then a rather fast labour!! I am still in shock that he is here and ironically arrived on the day that we found out that I was pregnant with Archie, so although one of the hardest years ever, I guess reinforcing my philosophy that everything happens for a reason... although who knows what that reason is most of the time

I can't believe you are almost half way Peach, your pregnancy seems to have flown

Chilli, but good to hear the tests are being organised

 

[Tink1o5]

Congrats Mum2be. Glad everything went ok. Cant wait to see pics!

 

[RobenR]

Congrats Mum2Be! Wonderful news and I hope you and Toby are doing well!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Hi ladies, I posted this on my blog this week... thought it might be interesting to some of you: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-11164078

 

[Chilli]

congrats mum 2 be and thanks for much needed hugs!

How are all?

I'm fed up as hubby has just got back after 10 days away - I had temp dip on monday and rise yesterday and today so I'm thinking I OV'd yesterday - is there any point BDing??? I was on day 12 of cycle - how mean is that - to come early when normally would be OVing today - this body of mine is so disobedient. Still least he's home so I 've got someone to make me cups of tea now.

Tink, don't know if I mentioned this before but your LO looks so much like mine when she was a baby - could be her brother

 

[Tink1o5]

Hahah really? You should so post a pic. =)
