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

[Kat S]

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

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.

I'm going in at 9:30am for b/w and an u/s to start my new cycle. We can't afford straight injectables this time, but maybe we can to a combo of Femara for 4-5 days then injectables. We'll see what the doc advises.

I've been taking DHEA and CoQ10 now. Maybe that will help with my egg situation.

I had a dream this morning that my period was a mistake and it was implantation bleeding. The doc did a scan and could already see the sac and there was something there (little shapes of something) that already indicated it was a girl. I woke up so happy ...and then I realized it was only a dream. So cruel.

Best of luck to you this cycle, Josie. We've got to be the ones one of these days...

 

[josie1234]

Good luck Kat. Hope this is our time xx

Hope you are ok Fi, big hugs.

Afm another smiley face but DH now gone away til 2 jul which is rubbish!! Could cry. Hopefully we ve done enough so far for this time.

 

[Kat S]

Fingers crossed for you, Josie!

I'm back from my dr appt. The nurse told me that my ovaries "look great...they look young still, so that's good news". It was all I could do not to cry on the exam table and she could see my despair all over my face, so I think she wanted to give me any kind of good news she could.

I have one left over cyst, and the size is on the verge of preventing us from trying anything this month. We have to wait for my blood work to come back and see what my hormone levels are. If they are "wacky," we have to skip this cycle. Well, that would give me some time to mentally recover from this failed cycle and time to put more money into the fertility acct. But if my hormone levels are ok then we can go forward.

If we go forward, I'll do Femara from tomorrow to the 5th, then go in for an u/s & b/w to check on progress, then start injectables. She said that because the femara will already have "gotten things growing" I'll need to use less injectables per night...150 instead of 300, so it'll end up costing even less. That's good news, anyway.

Really feeling down today. I can't shake that dream and it's made me so sad.

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Kat. When will you find out about your blood work? Glad that the cost will be less if you do go ahead. I am not surprised that you are feeling down, it must be hard after that dream, it seems so cruel to get your hopes up and then to wake up. Really pray for you hun that you get your dream come true xx

I am also feeling down, thinking that we may have missed it this cycle with me just getting my positive OPKs as I know that the next few days would be crucial and DH is away. I know I should think positive especially after what you are going through. Big hugs

hi everyone hope all is well , garfie sounds like you have had a bit of a rough time of it . glad you get to sleep in your own bed , take it easy girl you here xxxx

 

[Kat S]

Josie, I'm sorry you think you missed O If it helps, my doctor assures me that those OPKs aren't as accurate as you think, and that our bodies have surges several times a month that can trick the OPK into thinking it's O time. You may have gotten it already!! I hope so.

Doc called while I was at work, and said my hormone levels are just fine. I can start the Femara tomorrow. Hopefully I'll feel less pressure this cycle knowing it's not costing us so much money. I think that really added a ton of stress.

So the nurse said my big problem is non-viable eggs. Most months, the eggs being released are duds. So the more I try, the closer I get to a "good" egg being released. I hope I'm close.

Fiona sounds like you've had a rough couple of days , look after yourself

Kat will keep everything crossed that a good egg is on its way this month

Jo, remember it is the days before OV that are more important. Sperm can live up to 7 days, usually about 3-5. Looks like OV today for you so if that's the case your DTD timing is perfect. Actual day of OV can be too late to catch that egg as it takes a while for sperm to reach where they're going!

 

[josie1234]

Kat - it's looking good for you and like you said, hopefully it will be less stressful this time. FX for you hun. Come on good eggs, come on through!!!!

Thanks Lisa - think I was just overthinking things. I was expecting a big temp surge this morning but it is going up slowly lol. See what happens.

Hope everyone is okay today. Hope Fi and Dawn are ok and taking things easy. xxx

 

[crazymam]

Jo - I think your timing has been spot on so try not to worry.
Kat- fingers crossed for you

I was far too impatient to wait !

There do seem to be quite a few girls about now so that looks good for you Karen.

Saw a beautiful set in M & S yesterday. It was a pink set with 3 sleepsuits, 2 body suits a hat and some other things. It will be perfect for in hospital for when baby is first born, her first outfit !

However still quite can't bring myself to buy anything just yet!

 

[Oasis717]
