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

[garfie]

you ladies make me laugh - which is what I need today - Personally I would send my witch on a cold holiday - with no ice cream

Kat - I'm sorry that she got you - and that things are not going to plan

Creative - An orange wow look at you go

Lisa - Is it every time you have sugar or a bun or something that makes your levels wacky - is it just because you are pregnant I don't understand diabetes - even though my late father had it - not that he would ever admit

Becks - What a day you had - hope today you just took it nice and easy

AFM - Maybe I have over done it today (hope so) I've done two lots of avon normally I spread my avon over two days but because of appointments etc I've crammed two lots in on one day and noticed this afternoon I'm spotting a bit red luckily I have a scan tomorrow so fingers crossed it's nothing to do with the baby - I did notice that on my pic from yesterday there is a small circle with something in it - not sure what that is?

Thanks, guys. I will try hard to pick myself back off the ground.

I googled alternatives to acupuncture, and apparently, acupuncturists sometimes recommend baby aspirin and castor oil packs (on the abdomen). Apparently can they aid in blood flow. I ordered a castor oil pack kit from Amazon.com. We'll see...

Anything a worth a try!

Fiona good luck tomorrow, try and take it a bit easier.

Normal diabetes is when your body doesnt produce enough insulin to deal with the sugars.

Gestational diabetes is slightly different, your body does produce the insulin but pregnancy hormones block it reaching your blood so giving high sugar levels.

Anything that tastes nice is a no no! I now have to inject insulin before breakfast and dinner and at night. Pregnancy hormones are higher in the mornings.

However someone who gets gestational diabetes has a 75% chance of developing proper diabetes

Kat - sorry to hear you are going through a tough time at the moment, hope things work out for you soon hun.

I am worn out today, me and DH had to go and visit his mum today (one and half hours away) and then come back same day as DS had footie training and I had to take my Legs Bums and Tums class and Circuits class. Going to visit MIL is so draining, it depresses me as she always has something wrong and it drags you down. Sorry if it sounds selfish.

Well, what to do, tomorrow is CD 30 and DPO 10. Starting to get slightly excited/nervous. Do I test or wait????? OOOOHHHHHHHH.



Maybe Hope witch is going to enjoy her very long vacation!!!!!!!

At least you did your bit with mil visit !

Testing hmmm tricky one, to test or not to test!

If it was me I wouldn't be able to wait any longer , but not testing keeps the hope alive longer! What to do!

Anyway that old witch sounds like she's having a whale of a time and doesn't sound like she wants to come back any time soon !

Awww thanks Fi, lovely of you to say I took it a bit easier today but I seem to have a surge of energy from somewhere, loads luck for your scan tomorrow, be thinking if you xxxxxx

 

[josie1234]

Yeh, Lisa, my duty visit is done. She did nag me for not ringing her or coming to visit. Blimey, does she not know how busy my life is, with classes, limited visits by DH, BD and ttc, running a house.

I know, I am dying to test. DH keeps saying, just wait but seriously, men, do they not know what this is all about. He just says, keep practising, and doesn't understand anything I say about charts, temps etc. lol.

I have 2 tests so could do 1 tomorrow and maybe wait to do another if it is too early. hmmmm, wish I had patience.

How are you sugars today hun? You been up to anything today?

 

[josie1234]

Fi, good luck tomorrow hun, thinking of ya. Glad we bring a smile xx

 

[josie1234]

Becks - glad you have took it easier today and pleased that you have some energy.

[Left wonderin]

I know I'm cracking up lol..... Mmmm as for testing I'm not. Sure what to do , have some Ic left over from last month , but I'm kinda liking the feeling of the possibility I might be pg so think ill wait it out I'm so hoping this PMA last the duration and sticks around if the witch decides to return from her holiday this month !

Fi Goodluck with your scan tommrow xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Oh and I'm sorry got so caught up with distracting myself , I totally missed that you are having a rough time of it Kat . to you . I'm sorry it wasn't your month this month , and as for faith us ladies have buckets of it for you

 

[josie1234]

Regina - I think we do have to be distracted, cos the TWW is so tough, need to keep busy. How's your temp this morning?

Dawn - hope you are ok, thinking of you. You know where we are hun.

Lisa - yes, men just don't get it! Wish we could be so laid back about it all.

Hope everyone else has a good day today. Was so tired last night but woke up at 4.30 wanting the toilet but went back to sleep. Got up at 5.40 so took my temp a bit earlier than normal but stayed the same as yest. Yes, I took HPT

Will wait for a few more days to do next one.

Jo, only 10 dpo so could be a little early still!

Forgot to answer your question on sugar levels, bit dodgy at the moment , forgot to take insulin twice over weekend so that didn't help. And forgot before breakfast yesterday!

Diabetic clinic called yesterday and have upped morning insulin by 1 unit . I am back at clinic at hosp next Monday.

Saw midwife yesterday , blood pressure still really good 120/60.

Listened to HB except baby kept fidgeting so she has to follow it round!

Finding sleeping is getting uncomfortable I keep having to move from side to side as my hips ache. Not quite as bad as Becks though as I don't have to our of bed and walk round yet.

Josie. hang fire for a couple more days before testing. (unless of course you are a POAS adict like the rest of us) I didn't get a BFP until two days after AF was due.

 

[Left wonderin]

Good morning everyone , its another beautiful morning here Jo my temp dropped a little this am still only 9 DPO so not reading much into it . Unless FF was right the first time and I really o/v on cd 11 which would make me 12 dpo today . We will see .

Still early days JO keep the chin up dance great about bp

Love the PMA Regina.

Fiona, good luck today

Cloudy here today, but looks nice for rest of week though . Just having a tea break! Must get on and do house work now , youngest is at pre school until 1.15 so got a couple of hours left !

 

[josie1234]

Lisa - I am sure you will be back on track with your sugars, particularly now that its been upped. BP sounds good. Sorry to hear you are not sleeping well. DH now gone back today but hopefully when he is home Sunday, we will have some news. FX

Regina - loving the PMA, you are keeping us going. As you said, no concerns for temp going down slightly, its not over yet.

Having a lazy day today. Hope you all have a good one x
