TTC 40 plus!! Lets share the ups and downs!

[truly_blessed]

thanks for all your kind words ladies

I haven't had any bloods done yet, was hanging on going to the gp until I was 5 weeks+.

I had FRER positive at 11dpo and 12 dpo, CB digital 1-2 weeks at 12 dpo and 15 dpo (day after Af was due), faint positive on FRER yesterday at 16 dpo and FRER negative today at 17 dpo.

I'm pretty sure AF is going to show in the next few days but a tiny bit of me is still holding out praying for it to be a dodgy test but I doubt it.

I'm going to give it 3 or 4 days and if AF hasn't shown, will do another test. I'm getting slight AF cramps but have had them since 10dpo so they could be anything.

Hanging in there with you.

Oh good luck Truly, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it was a dodgy test. Lots of love.

Pip - great going with the shagathon, girl! We're about to get going! x

 

[mrsdh]

Oh truly blessed
I pray it was a dud test. Thinking of you hun xxxx

 

[truly_blessed]

She got me last night, knew she would, glad it was sooner rather than later. Took the day off as the cramps woke me up last night and they're still here now.

I'm taking the positives, as heartbreaking as it is. I need to ring this afternoon and book the hycosy so might be out of the shagathon for this cycle, hopefully not.

Good luck everyone

 

[Nise]

Awe Truly, I'm so sorry to read your news that is heartbreaking. I am in awe of your positiveness though and hope you can take some comfort in the fact that at least you know everything is still working so it's just a matter of time. Thinking of you and wishing you much strength.

 

[truly_blessed]

Thanks Nise, I know some people say 'please don't say at least you know you can get pregnant' but I really do take some hope from that. It's a tiny step towards the goal and I'm grateful for the knowledge. There's only me can pick myself up at the end of the day.

I'm pretty sure now that I had a chemical in Oct as well, I was 4 days late, had horrendous cramps when AF did come and got a very faint line the day after AF was due, I just couldn't get my hands on a digital as we were in the middle of the atlantic ocean. Could do with being back there now come to think of it.

We'll see what the test results come back with, I don't think the hycosy is going to show anything but the blood tests may do. I know someone was talking about AMH tests being more reliable than FSH test so might look into that depending on what they come back with.

 

[deinekatze]

Truly, sorry to hear. But yes, get back on the horse and press forward

 

[truly_blessed]

The hycosy is booked now, they told me they couldn't fit me in again at first though. I sighed and said this was the second time I'd tried and they said it sometimes take 2 or 3 times to book in. Then she said 'let me just have a look, can you do Friday 18th, I've no clinic booked in that day and I don't know why that would be so I'll book you in????'

Funny how there was no room to book me in then all of a sudden there was. Anyway, just glad to have it booked now.

I am soooo very sorry to hear that Truly I hope you will mention everything that's happened so far and that they can do something to make your next bean stick.

 

[Reb S]

So sorry Truly, but as you say, at least you know you can do it. Lots of hugs and good luck for the hycosy x

I am soooo very sorry to hear that Truly I hope you will mention everything that's happened so far and that they can do something to make your next bean stick.

The thing is when I saw the fertility specialist the last time and told her I thought I had a chemical in Oct she practically told me off and said 'you need to stop testing early and just leave it a few weeks!' weeks!!! I will mention it again though (and prepare to get by knuckles rapped lol) but I'm hoping the blood results give them a good idea if there is a problem after conception. It could all just be down to the egg quality what with the MMC in Nov 09 as well.

Still if there's a good one still in there, I'm gonna find it.

 

[Nise]

That's the spirit Truly_blessed. You will catch it.

Hi all....crikey things move on a pace here when you're doing the BD marathon . Thanks for the encouragement and your posts ladies, the weekend was a success!!after my slight panic, but.....

....truly, I'm so truly sorry for what has happened to you, and I know you said in a previous post people say 'don't say it shows you can get preg' but I agree with you, it does matter (in a small way) and it shows that yes you are making steps nearer to getting a super sticky bean next time. Big hugs hun,I feel so sad for you...

Reb S - you so made me laugh with your comment on us over 40's at it like rabbits!!yeeehaa!!!

Well ladies,
I don't know if you ladies know who Mary Stuart Masterson is but she is a actress in the US and she is pregnant with twins at 44 and it was a supprise for them. So it gives us a little hope... I am due for AF on Sunday... It is so werid it seems like your body makes up things to make you believe that you are pregnant. For instance, last month I had hot flashes and sore BB. I had lots of hot flashes with my son in the beginning. Then bang on time AF reared its ugly head. When I was preggers last time I had given up and we only did it two times that month cause of business travel. I don't know what to think...

I think it happens when we relax about it... that's what it is ;-)

We stress so much over BABY some times that we get in our own way. Have fun with it!

Hey Garnet, I reckon that lady deinekatz is right, it's all about chillin'which, I know, is just so damn hard to do!! But those magic words 'given up' seem to work everytime..... I took real encouragement from your previous post when you only BD'd twice and got preg as we seem to have only managed it twice this month too (blimey and that was my attempt at the shagathon - no hope!!). So I reckon I'm over and done with this month, not unless I get a lovely suprise??

Take care hun, chin up and keep going, we will get therexXx
