TTC 1st child 35+ (Please spoiler any PG news/announcements).

[drsquid]

froliky= fingers crossed on the beta. my understanding is a pos test is a pos test the "darkness" doesnt matter. you are just gonna make yourself crazy, stop testing =)

had a dream last night that i had to do some sort of test. the first step was adding some sort of crystals to something.. while they fizzed i noticed that this part could tell if you were pregnant. purple not, clear yes.. so they started purple and then went clear.. but i remembered id used a trigger shot and that it didnt mean anything. i dont think i managed to actually do the test i was starting out to do (which i dont think had anythign to do with pregnancy)

 

[froliky2011]

Hi Ladies!! Thanks. I think I am concerned because our KD is 60yro. I am beginning to wonder if a 3rd mc could be aging sperm? I sorta wanted to test to see and then make a decision on how to move forward.

Pad - Welcome back & Congrats on talking your DH into trying again. Did you change doctors/clinics? I am hoping all your dreams come true this summer!! Pink dust~~

Missy - I am soo hoping for you!!! Happy Birthday too!!!!!

Carole - Thank you so much for your support and kind words and wisdom. It's so nice to have women like you and Purple and Never etc. who know what we are going through supporting us who are now having healthy pregnancies!! I can't wait to see a picture of your little sweet pea!!

Arsy - Thanks hon!! to you!!!!

LadyH - Age sucks and Time sucks even more! Do something nice for yourself.

DrS - That's a great dream!!! I had a positive pregnancy dream too before I got my Good Luck!!!!

Hi to everyone else!! I hope you are all doing well. IPen is MIA and has been for a while? Ipen, if you're out there, let us know.

I am hanging in there but just being realistic and concerned about KD's age which increases the chances of mc quite a bit. Makes me wonder if I should go with a different KD? Time will tell............

Thanks Purps xx

Frolicky we tried ED last year as I have a lethal to males translocation in one of my X chromosme and it didn't work and cost loads of cash... so we are trying au natural again. My Specialist is convinced that all my babies (6) have been boys so all have died due to the translocation I have....

My losses are all around 10-12 weeks after perfect growth and fast HB

Need Hubby to produce some pink swimmers!

My last baby died a year ago yesterday... feeling a lil low.

 

[froliky2011]

Pad - Sorry for your losses and the annual anniversary of your loss as well. Hoping/Praying for pink xx swimmers!!! Y's not allowed.

Frolicky – OMG – OMG OMG….. CONGRATS!!! CONGRATS!!! I am SOOOO EXCITED for you girl!!! Try to keep positive until you find out otherwise!!! I am praying that the Beta results are good !! But remember it is still very early so perhaps won’t be as high as they typically would… I am hoping/praying for you!!!

Manu – AWESOME GIRL!!! I am praying for you that those 2 embies grow grow grow and STICK STICK STICK!!!!

Missy – Happy birthday tomorrow! Glad to hear your patio is coming together…. And enjoy the massage tomorrow! I hope AF stays away!

Lils –yeah sensitivity testing is a tricky thing…. We have a company here that tests using electro-dermal screening –(ie. Red Paw Data Services)… Many ND’s do they same testing…. It all sounds hockie I know but basically it isn’t painful and can even be done on children – they use a probe on press on one of your fingers which meridian line flows to your small intestine… (since your small intestine is what absorbs food etc) So each time they press on the finger with the probe it sends a signal /numerical amount to the computer and they do each food one by one (can test like 200 foods)…. It is about 80-85% accurate… And it’s cool! I need to do it again as it’s been over 7 years since I did one. You get a print out with foods you should highly avoid, eat in moderation or ones you are okay with….. (colour coded)..
Look up Electro-Dermal screening in your area – either through a Naturopathic Doctor or holistic nutritionist…. They can even test you for allergies, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal and candida levels…
About the green tea over green tea extract – you don’t get the same amount – it is much more concentrated – but although I bought it haven’t been great at taking it….

Asry – good luck to you!!!!

Dr.S – Fx for you!!!

Pad – I am so sorry for all your losses – how heartbreaking when the m/c’s are that far along…wow that they can pinpoint that all were male – I am hoping/praying for some girl energies to come your way!!! And that she is a real sticky sticky one xoxo

Hello to everyone I missed!!

AFM - today I think I'm 10 DPO - I haven't really been thinking too much about TWW this month because of this bad viral chest infection thing - I was still coughing a lot on the weekend -but finally got 7 hrs sleep last night!! WHOO HOO! Don't have any AF symptoms this month - but I didn't have any ovulation twinges/pain either - so I'm thinking may not have been a good month.. Although the opk showed an LH surge and all... We'll see what happens as AF is due to arrive on Wed/Thurs of this week.
If she doesn't come before, I'll test on Thurs but don't have high hopes for this month. I just want to get better!

xoxo

Asry - How are you feeling?

Dashka - I am glad you were finally able to get some I hope stays away and is pleasantly creating a warm, cozy place in your uterus.


My Beta was 36. I go in again Wednesday, Thursday (with old doctor...yep, got two working for me now ) and Friday. I am going to be like a hawk after doing some research on sperm etc. In the mean time this will be me.. I am nervous. The KD wants to do an amnio too because he's financially a responsible party so, quite honestly, I am not out of the woods till after that. Hopefully his are healthy. The guy looks more like he's 45-49. He's taken great care of himself.

 

[froliky2011]

Sorry..will try again. What do you think?

 

[froliky2011]

Do you ladies get virus alerts on this website? I get a lot of them but they seem to happen more on IE rather than Mozilla?

 

[Dwrgi]

Frolicky-he's a handsome guy! No way does he look 60!!!! Hopefully his are in good nick too!!!

Good news on the beta! Should put your mind at rest. Hope you're okay-it must seem real now!

GL to you-I am sure this will be THE one!

You need to put in a formal compaint. That is out of order. Also, I agree, a woman on progesterone is not to be messed with.

 

[dashka]

Frolicky - that is good news !! (although I don't know much about beta numbers).... I will keep praying for you that they get higher and higher! The pic you posted of KD ... wow he doesn't look his age at all!!! you're right! Please keep us posted!!! Did you feel any symptoms this month? How many DPO are you now?

Dr S - that's terrible - I agree I would complain about that - not considerate - maybe the cafeteria should do their homework !

 

[dashka]

Hey Frolicky - I forgot to say - wasn't it you who didn't want to skip this month cause your doctor was away and you went to another??? Good thing you didn't !!!
