TTC after loss - over 40 - any takers? Our lucky thread - 9 rainbows and 1 BFP

[dancareoi]

Donna sorry to hear the news.

I'm on CD15
EWCM last week so BD'd every other day was going to last night but got flattened by a migraine and as I have come off the meds as they are really strong and I don't want to do anything to harm a potential baby. so I had to suffer and feel as though my head was going to implode. feel better today, but I have post migraine haze.

Ah I have migraines. Soo horrible

When I was pregnant I used those cold strip thingys (technical term obviously ), and they did help a bit.

i soaked a tea shirt in freezing water last night and covered up my head to chill my brain and it did work a bit

Every now and again I suffer migraines with aura - basically flashing lights for about 15 minutes followed by the headache - effects my vision so much that i can`t drive.

Last time i had one was when i was PG with the baby I lost in Jan - in fact I had 3 in a short space of time and had to take paracetemol which didn`t really help.

Its always at the back of my mind that this could have contributed to my MC - as migraines are caused by a chemical imbalance i thought it could have affected the baby - but doctor said no.

Urinary tract infection.

Thanks - I assume this is something that can be treated.

I am due back at hospital next Tuesday to get the results of all the blood tests they have taken - they are testing for 7 different things, which I think included thyroid, diabetes and sticky bloods amongst others.

Any one of these is treatable, but only once pregnant! in a way I hope it is one of these so at least we know it can be sorted. If not, then it`s just down to age and egg quality I think!!!!!!

Perhaps in years to come, women will evolve to the point they can have kids into their 50`s without a problem

I am 5 dpo...still have some sunburn from the weekend fun so am chalking up things that I would be stressing over as symptoms as effects from the burn. I will begin testing I would guess on Monday. I work this weekend so that will help it go by faster for me I think.
