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

[Oasis717]

Afraid I'm having yet another bad day it is wearing especially after 21 weeks (nausea started at 3 weeks this time) I get a lucky day or two then the nausea is back with the headache and tiredness but hey Ho not long to go. That rhymed lol. At least the nausea is a milder form of the early weeks and the headaches just that instead of a migraine. Brooklyn is active in regular patterns now which I can almost set my clock by his evening bout which starts at 10.30 pm The rest of the day he's active on and off all day, I wish he didn't like my bladder so much he kicked it so hard last night it made me jump! xx
Loving the pma ladies, patiently excited for all you ladies waiting on bfp's I can't wait for the next one/ones! Another miserable cloudy wet day here, I've never known a summer like this. Monday was beautiful!! Xxx

Thank you oh well I guess it's not forever. Tbh the hip pain at night bothers me more, I wake every hour and have to stand up and walk about til it eases, I was exactly the same with ds 4 when I was 36 and dd 12 so it's not an age thing at least! Xxxx

Hi Becks, you seem to be having a tough time , but as you say it will be worth it.

Karen how are you feeling now?

I find my hips hurt a little at night, but not to the extent I have to get out of bed . Although I do wake every night to go for a wee again and find I am weeing a lot in the day, baby must be in my bladder too!

We are off to butlins in minenead tomorrow for the weekend and the weather looks like it'll pick up again too!

How is everyone else today?

 

[Oasis717]

It's agony when I wake until I walk about! Just praying I don't get spd too like I did with my last two children. Hope the weather does pick up can't believe it's nearly June and cold and raining! Have a wonderful weekend Lisa xxxxx

 

[josie1234]

Becks - bless ya, you are having a rough time hun, hope it eases off. You are right, weather is rubbish.

Lisa - hi, have a good time at Butlins x

How is everyone else today? Just been doing some cleaning and ironing. Teaching spin class later on. Hoping temps stay up. Not sure when AF is due as FF has moved it, so says its not due for another 10 days which will give me longer cycle than normal.

Josie, this TWW is torture!! Even though I've been very busy, it seems like time is crawling by. UGH.

AFM, 10 dpiui. I had to test out my trigger shot, and I didn't get a "clean" (negative) reading until today, so that means I don't think a test is going to show anything until the weekend. I'm still hopeful! PMA, right?? I'm still burping, feel a little icky in the mornings, my boobs are sore, I have creamy cm, and I just have a good feeling. Hopefully those aren't brand new af symptoms here to trick me. STAY AWAY AF!!

 

[josie1234]

Yeh I know Kat, time is going so slow, I am wishing my days away. Always looking forward to the next morning so I can take my temp. It is crazy.

Tbh I don't fully understand IUI so can you explain to me. Hope we all get BFPs, would be so great. Symptoms sound good. I am not symptom spotting just yet. I swear if that woman is wrong about me getting pregnant, I will travel up north and give her a serious talking to, lol. It has got my hopes up. FX for us all xxxx

 

[Kat S]

An IUI is interuterine insemination. They put my husbands sperm into a syringe to which a long, thin tube is attached. It's inserted into my whoo ha and the long tube is threaded past my cervix and directly to my uterus and then they release the sperm. Takes 3 minutes! I lay there for about 10 minutes afterwards and it's done.

Here's a video using 3D animation about ovulation and IUI.

So hoping for you ladies, xxxxxI couldn't help but symptom spot but it was different for me as the left over hcg from my second miscarriage last year gave me symptoms still which funnily enough got worse around AF, so I was so relieved to see my first neg test after all those weeks waiting for the hcg to go, funny cause after my first loss I had a neg test in one week had a bit of a sad day. We were sorting some things in the loft and came across my baby box from my loss at 12 weeks last June. It was very hard seeing all.the things we bought for the baby, my hospital notes but the hardest was a baby journal dh had bought and filled in with all the exciting moments along the way. It made heartbreaking reading but I felt I needed to see everything, I've spent so long in denial I think I needed to look at everything and cry. We originally weren't going to use any of the baby things but looking at everything it seemed only fitting to make use of them for Brooklyn and turn them into a good memory instead of a sad one. So we've decided to use all the clothes we had bought. I'll never, ever forget but at least we have our rainbow to take some of the pain away xxxxxx

 

[Kat S]

Oasis, oh...I hardly know what to say! *hugs* I'm so glad you have your Brooklyn now!

 

[Oasis717]

It's ok Kat I understand, what can you say I would be the same but Thankyou we're so happy to have Brooklyn too xxx

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Kat. Learn something new every day. FX for you hun. Has it been hard to go through? I am so hoping this time leads to your BFP. Sending positive cyber vibes to you. PMA all the way.

Becks, thats so tough. Brought a tear to my eye reading it. I think u are brave going through it all but like u said, make it into something happy and positive. sending hugs xx

 

[dancareoi]

Becks, good you are turning a negative to a positive. We didnt buy anything before any if our losses. However due to scans with each one I have a scan picture of each little bean

The one we lost last jan was different as we had a private nuchal scan at 12 weeks and have a load of pictures plus a DVD of the baby. I also kept the order if service from the funeral too.

Hormones are kicking in and have made myself cry again!

Jo, kat and Regina PMA girls.

 

[Kat S]

Yeah, I've had some pretty rough days. Even the TWW is hard. I know that my "symptoms" could be nothing at all, and one minute I'm full of PMA and the next I'm sure it's all nothing.

 

[josie1234]

Blimey Lisa brought tears to my eyes too. Didnt get scan pic or anything. But i can picture it, always imprinted in my memory. Making me feel emotional now.

Where s Regina with the endless PMA. We need ya hun

 

[Kat S]

Aw, Dancareoi! Honey, this is a rough journey. No one knows better than we do. *hugs*

 

[Oasis717]

Oh Lisa, that made me cry too, it's so very, very sad, I have nothing from my first loss last year as because I'd had no previous problems with the three children there were no early scans etc and I was only a week or so away from the first scan, all I have is that I heard the baby move on the mw's Doppler two days before they died so I know they were with me until the end xxxxxxxx

 

[crazymam]

Time is a great healer ladies, I miscarried first time 16 years ago,was fortunate to fall straight away and have a beautiful daughter. I look at her and think well I wouldn't have her now had I not miscarried. That was how I dealt with it, looking for the positives.
Everything happens for a reason, even the sad things we rather didn't happen.............xx

 

[Oasis717]

I hope I can feel that way too someday xxxx
