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

[garfie]

Aw Kat - I am so sorry hun - seems like miracles are in short supply at the moment BIG

Nice weights ladies, I've heard the bigger the baby the more healthier certainly rang true with my boys - first one 6.1 (a month prem) second one 8.14 (2 weeks late)

AFM - I am booked in for a DNC tomorrow - seems like my little miracle didn't happen this time It does say all over my file TO CARRY OUT TESTING so who knows maybe I will get some answers maybe not

So sorry Kat, I really am xxxxxx
Fi I dont know what to say hun, so sorry, hope everything goes well and you may finally get some answers from tests when they do xxx
Afm had mw today, had a letter requesting glucose test due to my BMI being just over 30 (thanks for that just cause I'm overweight then) mw said recommends it done as I'm more at risk so will be getting it done. Heartbeat was perfect, blood pressure good and to the neighbour that commented I was huge yest my mw was clueless as to why she said it as I'm just average size for my weeks, normal fluid, uterus right where it should, next person to comment is gunna get a comment back from me, so rude xxxxxx

Hello Ladies!
Was trying to catch up as I have stayed off of the blog since my disaster after disaster. My HCG is down to 88...so close being back to nothing so that I can get AF to arrive and then we can try again. Appt with new doc on July 23rd. Looking forward to that opinion. Take care, Dawn

Beck's how rude !!! I'd say something back too lol.....

Kat - so sorry
Good weights ladies - mine were 8'5 and 8'3 and twins were 6'3 and 5'10, so expecting about 8 this time.

How is everyone else?
I have my next scan Friday , hoping little one doesn't cross its legs!

Dawn, hopefully soon you will be back on the TTC track.

Fiona , hopefully some testing will fm d something . It could be something very simple that can easily be resolved with medication .

I had a number of routine tests, which included thyroid and diabetes, but not sure what the others were!

I also paid for a uNK killer cell test. Durin this they also scrape a little of the side of the womb. This helps the womb to regenerate itself apparently.

Hope D&C goes ok too. Thinking of you .

Jan, hopefully baby will play ball and give you a good look!

Jo, hope you enjoyed Rome . I'm keeping a close eye on your chart, going well with DTD every other day, lots of baby dust your way.

Becks. Hope the GD test is negative. I seem to be all bump. Someone asks me yesterday how long I'd got left, she nearly fell over when I said 10 weeks, she thought I was going to say 3!

Regina how's it going with you .

Karen hope you are still doing well, when's your next scan ?

Kat : so sorry .

My next scan is 7th July. I am actually feeling a lot better than I was. Sickness still lurking and I'm still waking in the night to actually be sick. Skin still falling off me and torn on my belly.
Bought a couple of new dresses yesterday as I don't have a lot I can wear now.
Back working hard with several keepsake teddy orders and I had a sell out of sock monkeys this last weekend so I have to get busy restocking. It's also necklace season so I'll thread up some more at some point in the day.

Keep smiling!!

Hi all, just been having a quick catch up,

Kat - so sorry hun, bet you are gutted. So what are the options now?

Garf - hope things go ok with the DnC and you get some answers.

Jan - looking forward to finding out, come on LO play ball and let us see!

Karen - sounds like you will be busy, blimey. Hope time goes quick for you to the scan.

Hope everyone else is ok. Thanks Lisa for keeping an eye on me, lol. Forgot that Italy is one hour ahead, still woke up and took temp at what I thought was normal time but obviously it was an hour ahead, doh. Had a fab time away, Rome was lovely, walked miles but very pretty. Lovely to get away.

Depressing coming back though, DH goes back tomorrow as he has a training day so he is away a bit longer, boo hoo. But hey guess what.....smiley face.

The skin is ripping on the surface. The resulting tiny tears sting. No matter how often I moisturise or how often I moisturise it's just all flaking off.
I think it is because of my age plus the fact that I've never really had a big bump beofre and this time it is big.

Glad you enjoyed Rome , hopefully you feel all nice and relaxed. Smiley face has come at right time if DH back tomorrow.

Remember after DTD lie still for at least half an hour with legs raised

Jo I can't believe that its smiley face time again for you !!!! That time just flew !!! I've never been to Rome would love to go

Dance belly sound sore I can kind of sympathise as I get contact dermatitis e on my belly from belt buckles, zips , buttons anything really . My skin is red raw with it sometimes and so so sore

 

[josie1234]

Thanks, no the time does not seem to come round quick. Not for me anyway lol. It is lovely place but I wouldn't take children and be prepared to walk around a lot. Worth going though.

The skin on the belly sounds really sore! Is there nothing you can put on it, some sort of cream? Don't just put up with it if it is sore.

 

[Kat S]

I'm now using aqueous cream, I've tried cocobutter, olive oil and a load of other things, but I am allergic to fish oil and that is in so many lotions. I was signed off work with dermatitis for a couple of months when I was nursing because they introduced a new soap that contained the fish oil and it took ages to work it out I had all sorts of patch tests etc. Eventually they discovered the nasty ingredient and I was given an alternative.

Morning Ladies

Just a quick pop in DNC went fine but I had to stay in overnight, was sick, bp was low and I was on oxygen - a bit of a nightmare but I'm home now

I'm so sore this time

Will update properly soon
