trying for #3 after MMC at 37

[Cornfieldland]

Hello all...I'm on this board again after my loss end of January at 16wks. It's been a long hard couple months. After waiting for 2 long cycles and waiting for my blood count to return to normal, after terrible bleeding with my MC, I am finally ready to try again.

I'm scared but mostly excited and hopeful to a happy outcome this time. Hope is so important and I finally have that back again. We were on the fence about trying again, but now that we finally decided that we want it, I feel so much better and feel I can have closer to my baby I lost.

My children are 11 and 15 soon to be 16 frm a previous marriage. So it's like starting all over again. So happy! Here's hoping for a great out come and our beautiful rainbow baby

Hi there
I am 37 (38 in may) and have had 2 mmcs 1st was oct, 2nd Jan I am trying for number 5
I have had blood work done "due to my age" and they came back this morning normal. I do have submucosal fibroids but have been told to carry on as we are until they can get me in of a hystioscopy.

Hi there! I am cycle day 18, expecting period around 28,29 unless all works on the first month of trying. I had a pedunculated fibroid about 3 years ago that was removed. With all my ultrasounds last time I was pregnant they didn't see or say anyways that I had more. Hoping they don't return. My doctor wouldn't do any testing with one miscarriage. Hate that they make you feel so old at 37

u

I'm cd21 got a week until testing so you must be similar fxd it works
I also hate how old I've been made to feel, but the consultant I saw was lovely and told me age wasn't an issue at 37
I've been taking a whole host of supplements to help egg health so hopefully we will catch a good egg x

I am taking Maca Root, COQ10 Enzyme, 5mg Folic Acid, VitD & Calcium and a Multi Vit too, DH is taking the Maca Root and I think he is going to start the COQ10 as well. x

I've been taking Maca Root as well and a hormone herb mix for fertility, as well as prenatal...but can't get my husband to take anything but gummie vitamins he's a big kid himself.

Hello ladies.
hi corn - I felt a bit embarrassed about the other thread because I mistook you starting the thread and not omarsmum through sheer idiocy.
I'm definitely keen to keep in touch. I'm 36 going to be 37 in dec. I've been ttc##2 since Christmas 2013 so I hope I get pregnant soon.

I'm 2dpo today though I'm not sure of or when I ovulated. My opks ran out cd19 then we went on holiday for a few days. I picked 16th april as o (aas best I could as ewcm and o pains were not the same as my previous cycle) so going to test 25th (iI'm an early tester).

Hi mmummy3 and anniemac. I'm sorry for your losses too. 2 x mmc must be incredibly hard. All my blood tests came back normal so I'm keeping fingers crossed for this cycle through I'm not expecting anything.

Off to see my friend this morning who has a three month old. She started to ttc #2 after me. Sigh.

 

[Spudtastic]

I'm also happy that 36 isn't too old though somedays I feel pretty decrepit.

 

[Cornfieldland]

I'm sorry Spud, I should have said Omar started, but I'm new to this and havnt posted much. I'll be 38 in November...if it doesn't work out soon I think we won't try.. Child care is so expensive here and I have no family here in Canada. Plus expenses for housing repairs keep adding up honestly I dont know how we will afford having a baby. But the desire out wieghs the fear right now.

I don't know how to do that either lol
So I am 14DPO AF due on Saturday, tested yesterday and BFN, so am going to try and hold off now until Friday. My boobies are really hurting and have a bit of milk DS4 tried latching on last week so not sure if that is why. I feel heavy and DH uttered the magic words of "wow your warm" in bed on Sunday night and the ONLY time he ever says that Ive been pg so time will tell.
How is everyone else getting on??/ x

Hi! I saw you in the 2WW April post : ) how old is you son? I would love to have a daughter, I have 2 boys... But I would be happy with a healthy baby of course. After my MMC I would be grateful for a healthy baby. I'm about 8 days post ovulation and expecting my AF next Monday Tuesday. I want to be pregnant but also so scared of it. I'm 37 so I feel like its now or never...just want to share all those precious moments with my husband since it would be all firsts for him.

The littlest was 2 in feb, I had to stop BFing in Oct when I had my 1st mmc, as the antibiotics they put me on were mega strength and the nurse told me I needed to think about myself at that time and that he was old enough to not need it.......which I know it is true but still wasn't mine or his choice.
I have 4 boys so yes a girl would be lovely but after my losses I honestly don't care what I get they are a blessing and I just want to hold my baby in my arms.
DS4 is DHs 1st baby xx

Hey Ladies.
I was just reading your posts. I feel the same way. I'm 6dpo today. i desperately want to be pregnant but I am so scared of being pregnant. My morning sickness I get is terrible and with my mmc is was such a blow to have bad morning sickness for two and a half months and all for nothing.
I would love another girl, dh would love a boy but a healthy baby is really what we want too so either way it doesn;t matter.
My dd was also 2 in Feb. I just stopped breastfeeding her this weekend.
So literally an hour ago another friend told me they (two childhood friends) are expecting and due in November. Ahhh, it still hurts hearing about other people's pregnancies but I'm happy for them too.

Hi spud, I know what you mean. It seems everyone is expecting. My co worker was jealous when I got pregnant without trying, when she had been for 5 months. Then I lost mine and she got pregnant. I made sure to tell her how happy I was for her. I didn't want to be like her, and I am genuinely happy for others. It's still hard when all you keep thinking...I should be 7 months pregnant now.
I too was so sick tbe whole time, I was with my others as well for 5 to 6 months. Its so hard to work, I have a physical job at a hospital and the smell of anything bad makes me gag. But I'm willing to do it all again

 

[mummy3ds]

It is so hard, my due date for the 1st mmc was sat just gone, and a girl at school was due the same, she was pushing her little boy at school yesterday I could have cried
I've got a faint bfp this morning so I'm now sat here stomach churning panicking that it could happen again off to get baby aspirin this morning and will call EPU on Monday to book in a scan xx

Positive thoughts mummy!! I hope that positive gets nice and dark and that little baby can grow grow grow I know it's scary and hard not to worry. Just take it a day at a time and take care of yourself. That's all we can control. Now I'll see if I can take that advice when I get pregnant Excited and hopeful for you! Keep me informed ok? I'll be thinking about you at work

 

[mummy3ds]

Thank you cornfield land I am going to try and take it easy, keep my fluids up, eat sensibly and keep as positive as i can xx
