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

[Kat S]

Thanks, Josie, yeah, I'm nearly 100% again. The cortizone cream did the trick!!

Hi ladies, very busy here at the moment isn't it?

Jo, OV date can alter every month, mine used to be anything from cd 16 to cd21 so that's nothing to worry about, it's the LP that remains he same, unless, like you , you do something like b6 to change it.

A positive OPK tomorrow would be perfect

Becks, sorry you are feeling down, but feeling sick for so long is enough to get anyone down. It'll all worth it in the end.

Dawn hope your scan goes well

Kat glad your injection site is better

Regina , cd9 today. OV not too far now for you .

Fiona hope you are feeling ok.

Jan and Karen , hi

Afm I have started getting this weird thing in my leg. I noticed it the other day. My thigh started going numb and getting pins and needles. I googled it and it has a name and can happen to overweight or pregnant women, basically a trapped nerve . It starts if I stand on one place for too long, like when I'm making sandwiches !

 

[Left wonderin]

Is it sciatica ?

 

[josie1234]

Thats good Kat, glad its done the trick.

Thanks Lisa. FX. Is it front if leg/thigh? Wouldnt sciatica be in back of leg/bum/lower back? Hope there s something to ease it for you. You are certainly going through a tough time hun.

Hows everyone else today?

Hi everyone. bragged too soon about being over the sickness and now I am feeling sorry for myself.
I have this mad urge to "nest" for want of a better term.
I am a self employed creative designer working from home. I have so much clutter that I decided to clear out and make things a little more streamlined. Sad thing is I am relient on other half to move things like the broken dishwasher. which is now waiting for the yodle of the scrap man. and then I want the freezer where the dishwasher used to be.
I also filled four sacks of clothing for the charity people who were due to come yesterday ~ but didn't and I didn't realise until this morning and it rained over night. Four soggy bags of clothes!
Anyone eslse having a nest?

 

[Oasis717]

I think dh must be nesting as well lol as that's all we've done over the last couple of months is sort out, get rid etc etc, now dh is decorating the middle bedroom (we only have 3) as dd 12 will be moving into the smallest room and Casey 4 will share the middle bedroom with his brother, another plus side to this being another boy, the baby will be in with us til they get old enough to share, could do with a .4th bedroom!! Xxxx
Thanks Lisa, I think I was being too hard on myself for sure yest, I think I'm superwoman sometimes but I'm not and I think anyone would find 5months of feeling sick hard work so I'm gunna be a bit nicer to me xxxx

Morning Ladies

Becks - I agree hun you have been through it - we have a four bedroom house and my youngest wants to move out of his little room and move into the spare room he has already begun moving some of his toys in there - woah hold your horses young man

Creative - I had my nest early I was cleaning out kitchen cupboards etc in my TWW - good job I did because now I seem to be such a lazy cat

Kat - So pleased the cream worked - so what is next? loved your hubby tatoos - my hubby got one sleeve (still needs to have it complete) and various other tatoos around his body - I have one just on my lower back

Jo - Hope you have fun over the weekend

Lisa - Is it maybe just where the baby is laid - what has your mw said? I'm getting all sorts of cramps in my legs and especially around my ankles

Left - I can't wait until you are both moaning

AFM - I have a good symptom - serious bloat it's so bad that my holiday clothes of last year don't fit - so I bought a few new pairs of shorts and now I look like I have a muffin top Scan tomorrow

[Oasis717]

Fi that's a great sign I'd almost forgotten about the bloating, it was sooooooo bad at first and for the first 3 months, I already looked pregnant before I showed! Another scan tomorrow, that's great xxxxx

I`m not nesting. I`m finding it quite difficult now to bend down. If I sit down on the floor to do a jigsaw with my DS i have difficulty getting up again!

Dont think the pins and needles is sciatica. I had sciatica with my youngest and that was in my bottom and down my leg, very painful. I have noticed this time my left bum cheek is pulling a little, so i am trying not to aggrevate it any further!

i will mention it to MW when i see her next week.

We are lucky regarding rooms, we have 5 bedrooms. DD is very excited because at some stage she will be moved into the room that is currently the spare room. A double room with an en-suite, so she is well excited. Our DS will move from his room to her current room.

 

[josie1234]

Hi ladies, so exciting people moving rooms and having a sort out for the new arrivals

Went to get my thyroid bloods done this morning, cancelled my smear.

EWCM today but still not sure on opk

 

[Kat S]

DH and I began nesting the minute we decided to try for a baby a year ago. Wow, I can't believe it's been a year...

Anyway, we put in a modern bathroom sink and vanity, put up new bathroom mirrors, rearranged the kitchen counters so we'd have a little counter space (super small kitchen!) by adding shelving to a room adjacent to the kitchen that we use as my husband's office and kitty litter station (4 cats= lots of litter boxes), pruned a few trees, and had the old columns on our front porch replaced. We have three bedrooms. The two extra bedrooms were my husband's office and my sewing room/office, but we designated my husband's office as the nursery, and moved his office downstairs. That room has sat empty, and I generally just keep the door shut.

Right now I'm 3 DPO (we had an IUI on Monday)!! Yesterday I was imagining symptoms that I'm sure have nothing to do with anything because I'm a crazy symptom spotter (mild cramping and faint breast tenderness). Dreamed last night about symptom spotting and woke up thinking for a second that some of them were true. Oh well!

Luckily, I have a costume convention coming up at the end of next week, and I have lots of sewing and prep work to do (teaching a class on royal Victorian-era British Court presentation dress, rules and regulations). Should keep me somewhat occupied...I hope!

Kat - We're all allowed to be a little crazy when TTC - you think symptom spotting in your dream was bad - I was even crazier this time round - I dreamt I was POAS(3 lines came up) and taking my temperature with something that was deff not a thermometer so if it gets you through the tww I say go for it

Love the photos you all look very ladylike and some of the dresses are lovely - some I have to say are not so hot It looks like you all had a lot of fun We never touched the spare room - had plans in my head how it would look as a nursery but now it looks like I might be over ruled Josh's room is next door to ours anyway so might be better, the spare room is across the landing

Josie - I wouldn't say it's not positive just yet hun -

Lisa - It's deff worth mentioning to the MW - but it could just be how the baby is positioned

[Kat S]

Garfie, I hope you didn't dislike any of my dresses in the photos! I'll just pretend mine are the ones you liked!

Wow, your TWW dreams are so funny! You just have to laugh, right?

What a relief, you can relax now and enjoy your sleep!

Jo not a positive yet, timing should now be perfect for you. DTD when he gets back tomorrow and if you can keep your hands off each other, try and wait until Sunday!

Dawn, any news!

 

[bash73]

My ultrasound is scheduled in 5 hours and 12 minutes, but who's counting. It will be very interesting to see if there is anything at all yet as I think this is new from LMP May 1st. Will post after visit. Thanks.

 

[garfie]

Good luck Dawn - so is this ultrasound to see who is correct you or the doc? good luck anyway hun

Crazy - When I was pregnant - a few years ago now they didn't have these tests - I guess it's a whole new learning curve for me - hope you enjoy your sleep

[bash73]

I don't think it's to prove right or wrong. One, I think he's doing it to shut me up and maybe see if my uterus is thickening. I really don't know. If it's new from 5/1 we're not gonna see a thing as far as I can tell. So less than 5 hours I'll know more. Thx.
