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

[bash73]

Good morning Ladies!
I totally feel like AF is coming today which I guess could happen??? My CP was on 5/1 and only had AF (if that was it) for a few days. Very crampy in my left, lower abdomen which happened in the past but not in the recent past (like 2 yrs ago maybe). I'm thinking/hoping maybe ovulating? Or since we've DTD e/o day (clear blue gave me lots of smiley faces...skeptical about that test too). So I have no idea what's going on w/my body. Thursday can't get here quick enough for my doc appt. I normally O on day 13 which is today if I count from CP so maybe I am ovulating. So confused!

 

[Kat S]

Fi, I hope things are ok!

Oasis, glad it was just a pulled muscle, but OUCH!

Bash, I hope you were successful this month!

I had my Cycle Day 3 ultrasound yesterday. I had 4 follies on the right and two on the left. We began the Bravelle injections last night. The last time we used the injections, they had me on the 150 ml/night dose. I did get pregnant though it resulted in a m/c. This time they have me on the 225 ml/night dose. I guess more is better!

I go back for another ultrasound and blood work on Thursday to see how I'm reacting to this dosage.

I'm in a wedding this weekend, so we're working out how and where we're going to do the injections since we'll be away from home. Friday night is the rehearsal and dinner, then Saturday night is the wedding reception. The bride has offered me the bridal suite for our crazy medical routine. She's the best!

Thanks Kat, it's definitely ouch!! Loads luck with the injections xxxxxx

 

[josie1234]

Good luck Kat xxxxx

Bash - hope it's not AF coming. Our bodies are such mysterious things eh?

Becks - ouch, lucky that DH can alter shifts and you can have a bit of a rest. Good news that baby is ok xx

How's everyone else today in this miserable rain. Yet again another boring day. Looking forward to DH being home on Thursday. I've not been out of the house. Mind you, got my 2 classes tonight. Booked my thyroid bloods which will be next week.

 

[Oasis717]

[garfie]

Becks - for the baby moving - that's it now it's started it wont stop so pleased it was just a pulled muscle - but OUCH they can be just as painful - hope you're getting plenty of rest

Josie - Hope you enjoy your classes - two? wow I don't think I would manage one

Kat - I don't really understand about injections etc - but look forward to sharing your journey with plenty of updates

Bash - Who knows what is going on our bodies are mysterious things - good luck at your doc appt

Love to all the other ladies

AFM - time for symptoms anyone ever had like your boobs are feeling bruised and also kind of feel cold down there to - so I know I haven't weed because that would feel hot it's a weird feeling one I've never had before and as for the boobs they kind of come in waves it feels like I'm suddenly aware of them and even buttering sandwiches for pack ups is uncomfy all good signs I'm sure - having another HCG drawn tomorrow

[Oasis717]

Thanks ladies, I'm hoping dh will be able to feel soon what I've been feeling all these weeks I've just sat and read all day and I've come to the conclusion I HATE sitting about, lol, sooooo boring, oh well pain is so much better so I will keep taking it easy. Xxxx
Hope Thursday hurries up for you Jo so you can see dh and Fi they are all great signs, this really has to be the luckiest thread ever!!!! Now, on to the next bfp ladies!! Xxxxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi all ,
Becks I'm so so glad it was a pulled muscle , and OMG about seeing the baby kick how exciting for you what a wonderful experience it must be the first time it happens

Garfie great news about the levels - all looking good girl .... And sore boobs ..... I remember mine I nearly had to hold them as I walked lol...

AFM : well the witch showed her face right on time as expected actually I'm fine as was expecting her so glad she is here only 13 more days to o/v , 5 to poas and 14 day to Tww lol...... On to cycle no 4 for me

 

[dancareoi]

Hi ladies, lots to catch up with

Bash, things still may be a little messed up from your mc, things should settle down soon, so maybe will be easier to track what's going on his month .

Kat, hope it works out with all the injections etc, keep us updated and we will be with you every step of the way.

Fiona, those figures are looking good.

Regina, sorry the witch got you, lots of baby dust for this month and hoping DTD every other day works for you.

Jo, OV next week maybe? Baby dust your way.


Becks glad nothing serious with the tummy, just try and take it easy, not easy with a little one I know. I have seen my tummy move a couple of times and I love it, no one else has seen it yet. I have also felt the movements from the outside so hoping DH and kids will be in the right place at the right time to feel it too.

Karen, hope your are keeping well

Crazy, is it your scan tomorrow, good luck.

AFM I can't stop weeing again, back to getting up every night. Really pleased as still only put on 5 pounds.

DH gone to play footie I the rain! Gives me chance to catch up on here and now settle down to watch Hawaii five-o.

Edited at 21.14 - baby really busy tonight, tummy has just moved a few times!

 

[Left wonderin]

Dance 5lbs wow that's amazing who have you managed that ??? I so need to be healthier , you make me feel really guilty . I have a little addiction to savoury snacks lol...

It's the gestational diabetes that does it because I have to be so careful what I eat.

In my first pg I put on about 3 1/2 stone and GD was picked up at 34 weeks. In second pg I was presumed I had it again and I was determined not to go on insulin like I did in first pg and I only put on 7 pounds in total. I weighed less after I had dd than before. I think it was about 1 1/2 stone with third.

Although I was naughty tonight I had a muffin and a slice of treacle tart before tea so my readings tomorrow will reflect that, but I needed some sugar!

 

[Oasis717]

Lol everyone deserves a little treat! We had Korma and chips tonight it was yum! Thanks Lisa, I'm gunna calm down on things now, I think my body is telling me, not that I overdid it, but I must realise I can actually have help and not be wonder woman as I try to be, I'm just a get up and go person not a sit there and do nothing person by nature that's the problem! I'm also 5lb up, really gunna try not to put on too much as I think for my BMI the advised weight gain is 13lb in total, my face is slimmer than when I started so some must of come off! I do have a passion for crisps, a proper craving for salt and vinegar so trying to curb that! Baby kicked away all through my dinner it was funny xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Blimey Lisa, I put 3 stone on with my DS (and I'm only 5'1 so I was like a ball lol - he was 8lb 4). Didn't get big until 6/7 months though, was a really cute bump up til then. Fortunately, it all came off afterwards. Glad to hear that LO is being active, bet it is great. Hopefully all goes well next week, fx'd, trying to think positive.

Regina - good that you are staying positive and looking ahead to next cycle. That goddam witch is so not popular lol. Always gatecrashing where she is not wanted.

Fiona - Good luck with your HCG tomorrow.

Kat - I don't really understand the injections either but look forward to the updates.

I don't understand my body either, one cycle you think you know what is going on but this cycle is odd. AF was quite painful but not dead heavy, if that makes sense and I have been cramping and lower back pain ever since AF. Tonight I have got slight pulling near ovaries so I don't know what is happening.

 

[josie1234]

Yum Becks, korma and chips. I couldn't be bothered to cook so had fish finger sandwiches lol. Bet you were chuckling away with all the movement. Yep, take it easy and look after yourself.

 

[Left wonderin]

Josie I am convinced next month is ours for the taking and if not guess we will just keep trying as quitting is not an option !!! ( watching one born every minute just to torcher myself some more ) I love that programme

 

[josie1234]

Defo, let's do it! It's our time.

 

[josie1234]

Can't watch that. It would put me off

 

[Oasis717]

Haha I love one born every minute! And fish finger sandwiches actually, with tomato sauce!! I'm soooooo rooting for your ladies, it's definitely time for another bfp! It will be all of us soon you wait and see xxxxxx
