Hi keekeesaurus It is very super exciting and im it will happen for me one last time, i was born to be a mummy were my exact words to my husband of almost 5 yrs when he said he did not want any children with me that was a few years back now and since he has had a double transplant which took a while for him to recover from and now he is a different man altogether i feel very lucky but as my dh has lsc and with me having 5 mc's in the past i worry but im staying positive

How are you ffeling about your 1st cycle?

Hey lullaby! Oh man, so sorry to hear about your losses . And wow @ your OH having a double transplant - that's amazing. So glad to hear he's feeling great as a result of it. It's brilliant that you're so positive despite everything...I'm sure that will count! Keep on being positive and before long you will get your BIG FAT POSITIVE!

I'm super suprised my first cycle seems to have gone so...swimmingly. But I feel great knowing I'm getting a handle on my cycle and knowing when I'm likely to ov. Got a high today after 2 peaks so guess things are going well. Only managed to BD once though, on CD #10 (day before peak) so not optimistic about that but, you never know. It ain't over till the fat sings eh?

GL, FX'd and lots of to all of us!

Thanks hun the last few years have been tough for us and my poor DH has been through so much so i feel its now time for us to have some luck although i already have children from my previous marriage this will be my 1st time charting and using cbfm, i just used to guess before yes i know i was lucky and i could get pregnant so easily, it was just keeping the pg that was the problem luckily i found out the cause which was low progesterone, i had injections 3 times a week until i was 20 wks pregnant, but still i worry as i know a lot of ladies mc before they even know they are pg so im keeping almost everything crossed

Im keeping my fingers x'd for you and hoping your get your soon

Ciardkljslkjkffarar - FANTASTIC NEWS! Congrats, I am so pleased for you! Great to have some happy news for us over 40's just now, as things have not been so fantastic here recently. Please post a pic as soon as you can and I hope things are going really well xxx

Hmmmm. Tis terribly quiet round here! Here's something nice - I was walking on the cliffs today and saw a baby kestrel perched on a fence pole. I got closer and closer until I was less than 10 feet away and we just watched each other for ages! Then he just upped and flew miles away without flapping a wing. Amazing. Nothing at all to do with TTC, but there you go!
Hope everyone's okay...x

A happy post, that's nice. My contribution to the feel good factor is that I ran in Richmond Park this am and the leaves are just starting to turn. It is truly stunning there in Autumn for anyone who lives close enough to enjoy it. I may not be pregnant but I reminded myself of all that I have to be thankful for and was glad to feel alive. Happy day ladies x

Hi ladies, loving the happy thread - I need some of that now as it looks like I'm heading for another miscarriage. Went in for a scan yesterday and they could see a sac but no fetal pole or heartbeat. looks like things stopped developing at 5.5 weeks. Am truly devastated. have been sent away with more leaflets on miscarriage and the choice of waiting for it to occur naturally or having a d&c. Have a repeat scan next thursday and if I decide for the op - it will happen on Friday. Shittiest week ever as mum's thanksgiving service is on the Wednesday. Life can be so harsh sometimes. However I'm looking at the odds. I've had 2 MC's so that's 100% MC rate - the odds over 40 are 1 in 2. (I'm 41.5) So that means that if we manage to get pregnant again, surely my odds will improve?! We will keep trying, first naturally maybe for a few months and will possibly consider IVF where they can select the most beautiful egg and sperm and hopefully these chromosonal problems which keep causing the MC's will disappear. Sorry not to be adding to the happy posts. Good luck everyone with the BDing and keep positive. I'm trying to stay strong ....its what my mum would have wanted.

Bless you beetle, so sorry. The odds have to turn in your favour, it was third time lucky for me with my DS when I was 40 and I pray it will be for you too xxx
