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

Moon: I am so sorry this has happened! :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: I hope you are with supportive people who can help you and DH through this. :hugs:
 
Lady H – sorry about scan delay…. hope Nov. 2nd comes soon! :thumbup:

Moon – I’m so sorry again hun….. :cry:we are all here for you….:hugs::hugs:

Pebble – wow your wedding sounded great!:thumbup:

Lils – oh man work is still bad???? :dohh:You need to take it easy girl…. :flower:Thanks for the reiki meditations for my follies….:hugs: I need all the positive energy I can get…. YOU rock!! :thumbup: LOL – the fright nights scaring your eggies!!:haha: I hope not!! I think cleansing can shift things in the body sometimes – so you are probably right about it just being a few days late…. Thanks for par-taking of the wine for us!!:thumbup::hugs::kiss:

Want to conceive – I hope those cramps are a good sign….. I have gotten those quite a few times on 3-4 DPO and always wondered what was going on…. Could it be that the ovaries are just shrinking back to their normal size (in your case since you had IVF?) GOOD LUCK!! Wow Brazil is cheaper eh? Interesting…. Wow 4 embies transferred…:happydance: My RE says (if we have enough) he would transfer 3 –but I don’t know if I’m comfortable with that (2 ok)…. But we’ll see.

Chicken – glad the show was good…. Have fun on your ‘break”….:thumbup: Are they planning on doing anything re: progesterone levels? Ie. give you suppositories or something to use in TWW next time??
I’m loving the RE jokes too!:haha::hugs:

Greenleaf – wow you studied in Canada for 5 years? ! cool!:thumbup::hugs:

Kismet – don’t worry you’ll get the hang of our thread soon! I just type stuff out on a Word document as I go – otherwise there is no way I would remember when I’m catching up.:hugs:

Pad – I’m so happy that you’ve made it to this milestone….. everything still crossed for you and Padette!:thumbup::hugs::kiss:

Dwrgi - so glad to see you on here again....and loving your journal:hugs::kiss:

Owl – Hi!! when is IUI #4??:hugs:

Purps - any news??? any feelings?????:hugs::kiss:

Hello and hugs to everyone I missed!:hugs::hugs::kiss::kiss:

AFM - day 2 of stims this morning.... but how the hell are you supposed to inject in your left-butt-cheek when you are right handed while pinching the skin? My dilemma this morning :haha:
 
Moon I'm so so so sorry honey, take care of yourself. We are here if you need to vent XXX

Pad, YAY sounding good honey XXX

Lils, kismet and Dash, Thanks Ladies, Yes they are testing my progesterone again this month but it is a bit hit and miss as my cycles have been increasing in length each month by 2 - 5 days. But it is all just jumping through hoops at the moment as my GP want to send me to a specialist but the referral guidelines say you have to have 2 months of poor results. I'm guessing that once I get to the specialist then I will have to go through all the tests again so I will discuss with them then and there about my cycles getting longer. I'm not charting this month or doing OPKs as I don't want to get stressed and be temped to BD just in case.
Always appreciate your support XXX
 
pad great news.

afm got the call from ofsted today.they're in tom and wed.am super stressed.only just got home and got lesson plans to do.grrrr!!

love to all.x
 
Nessaw - what does your post mean? That went right over my head!
 
ofsted are the school inspectors.they are not our favourite people!!

Hope the cramps are a good sign too. The nurses told me today I need to drink lots of water. They said I'm having these awful cramps because I'm not drinking enough. Gonna try to up it a bit on the water and see if it helps. I just had probably the worst cramp episode yet.

Brasil for us is cheaper. Both my DH and I are originally from here so we had places to stay(no hotel expenses) and I work for an airline company(so almost no flight expenses, boarding taxes only). The IVF here is about $6,000 dollars including meds. And we spent another $750 for Cryo for the embryos we didn't transfer. minimum food and other expenses. Ending up around $7,500 all together.

If we had done it in the states again it would have been another $12,000 minimum.

Dreading the 2 flights and 12hrs in the air tomorrow(Wednesday 12:55am really) to Thurday though. ugh.

Was thinking about tranfering 3 since our 1st IVF we transfered 2, but our Dr. said 4 would be better because of my age(39yo).

Good luck to you hun and lot's of baby dust!
:dust:
 
Hi all - thanks so much for your kind words. It means a lot.

Pad - I am so, so happy that you heard the wonderful heartbeat.

Will catch up more later but it may be a few days as I am spending a lot of time crying. Hope you all have a good start to the week.
 
Moon, I'm so sorry. :hugs: :cry: I'm not sure how much of a comfort it is to you, but most of us on this thread have been somewhere similar, so we are here for you no matter what you need. I cried for a solid week and refused to talk to anyone but my husband about it. Very dark days. Somewhere in there, I started to read things about m/c and read posts on BnB, and gradually began feeling better. I also found that the hormones in the midst of the m/c were contributing a lot, so I felt better when those diminished. Someone, and I think it was on this thread but I could be wrong, said something that I found helpful. They wrote that those of us 35+ may struggle to get a BFP, or we may struggle to get one to stick, but eventually almost all of us will get to hold a baby at the end of the journey. And even still there are always other options. But this is the trade-off for being more mature and more ready for a baby than those youngun's are. This was helpful for me to read, anyway.

I also found this website to have the most useful information, even if it is a bit tricky to navigate:
https://pregnancyloss.info/

I hope you are able to grieve in whatever way you need, and that you move through this quickly. :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:
 
padbrat - Ohh, did you go Gurney Drive? That's where all the good food are :D

Dwrgi - yeah, we get smog, dust, haze, smoke... you name it we have it :p Most of it comes from our neighboring country yearly as they clear their plantations by burning. We also have forest fires during the hot/dry seasons which adds to the yucky stuff.
 
Moon, Hun, take time to cry and grieve! We are all here for you xxxxx

:dust:

interesting about the cramps and dehydration!!! I never knew that.... let us know if it helps! :thumbup: Wow that is a HUGE price difference doing IVF in Brazil especially since you have place to stay and almost get the flights for free :thumbup: Good plan!! Did you have to work with your RE at home before hand to get your protocol going?

Good luck with the flights!! I hate long flights too... Hope you can listen to some relaxing music and watch comedies on the plane...

Good luck!:hugs:

Again, so sorry, Moon. :sad2: Many of us know all too well what it feels like & you cry all you want. It's a very heart-wrenching thing to go through. Please feel free to also vent to us - we can take it. :hugs:

These wonderful ladies have gotten me through 2 of mine in April & May & it helped so much to have them here for me, knowing people cared & knowing that many of them knew exactly what I was feeling, or if they didn't, they still showed an outpouring of love & understanding, anyway. DH could really only watch me fall apart & love me when I'd let him in. My BF I could tell about it, but she didn't really know what to say... So, we do understand & care. :flow:

It may also be helpful to know that a lot of times, women get pregnant within 6 months of a mc. And you know you can get pregs now, at least in an egg-meets-sperm kind of way.

Sending :hugs: & :kiss: your way...
 
Hey lovely ladies!

Big huge loves to you all xxxx I hope you are all having a good week xxxx

:hugs::hugs::hugs::kiss::kiss::kiss::hugs::hugs::hugs:

Pad how's everything with you?? Thinking pink still xxx I even have dh thinking pink for you!

Moon ...giant hugs to you chick xxxxx:hugs::hugs::hugs:
