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

[crysshae]

I've never used OPKs, so I'm not sure. Sorry I'm no help there.

I charted after my miscarriage so I could see what was going on. At first, I used the day my MC started as CD1 so I could see everything on one chart. After ovulation and AF, I went back and adjusted the chart so CD1 was the day my hCG should've been 0, which corresponded more with my normal cycle and moved all the MC information to my actual pregnancy/miscarriage chart.

I have had my first AF post MC and am waiting on O any day now, so trying again.

Thanks cry, good luck with your O day looming. I just wish I'd get a smiley or AF. Just to get back to normal. Desperate to try again. Although we've kinda been trying this cycle but with no smiley it's prob not happened.

So is this your first proper cycle since mc?

 

[crysshae]

Yes. It is my first cycle after miscarriage.

Hi Lexi welcome and good luck, hope you get O soon. I had mc last year Jun but been ttc since 2008. Wasnt too focussed on ttc initially and wow it happened. Great surprise but not meant to be. Learnt lots on here and been taking B6 to make my LP and cycles longer and it ses to be working. Just got to get timing right, oh and relax. Hmm easier said than done. DH works away which doesnt helo nut keeping positive. It will happen when time is right. There is always hope.

Oh i got offered the job. Not sure if i am taking it yet. Going there next week to have a loik and see what shifts are. Think 37 hrs will be too much and impact on everything else. We ll see anyway. Have a good weekend all xx

 

[crysshae]

Good luck with your decision on the job, Josie.

 

[Lexi5]

Hi Jo and thanks. Good luck with the new job.

Can I ask everyone how long it took for AF or O to show after mc. I know everyone is different but it's cd32 now for me and no sign of either.

I mc on 2nd July, diagnosed blighted ovum at 9 weeks and mc naturally at 12 weeks. Just want to get back ok the ttc wagon. Can't seen to stop thinking that something must be wrong because of no AF.

Hi everyone is different , I had mc in December and took cd42 for AF to show up . The " normal " cycle for me was 28- 30 days . I wouldn't worry too much our bodies take some time to get back to working order xxx

 

[Lexi5]

Oh thanks left wondering, that's put my mind at rest. I'm like a little eager beaver atm waiting for things to get back to normal.

 

[Left wonderin]

I'm sorry for your loss and send you lots of luck for getting your rainbow baby soon xxxx

Becks nearly 31 weeks wow , the countdown to the end is on ? Are you excited ? How are you feeling ?

Hi all,

Last night of hols, back home tomorrow. We've had a lovely week and weather hasn't been too bad.

I think baby has moved position slightly today because my bladder feels like its the size of a pea and I'm sure she's bouncing on my bowel!

I'm at hosp Monday and midwife tues. last time I was told her head was quite low bit not engaged but I have been feeling a bit more pressure the last couple of days and a few extra braxton hicks as well!

Job for next week - sort baby clothes, Moses basket and hospital bag!

How's everyone else doing?

 

[Oasis717]

Becks nearly 31 weeks wow , the countdown to the end is on ? Are you excited ? How are you feeling ?

Lol thank you, I'm doing well, I've still managed to keep the weight gain to 14 pounds at this point. It's the least I've put on in any pregnancy and still walk everyday. My glucose test was negative thankfully and everything else is going well. I'm excited and scared at the same time. Brooklyn kicks so hard now I think he'd like to make an appearance already lol. Hope you're well. Xxxx.

 

[Left wonderin]

Wow Becks , how did ya manage keeping your weight to a minimum ? I so want to do that as I don't need to pile on the pounds ? What did you do ?

 

[Oasis717]

I was determined not to put on too much having started at a 14, I'm still in my old clothes with the exception of size 16 trousers for Brooklyn bump but everything else still fits. I've walked all the way through, less now obviously, but still walk at least 40 mins a day and have stuck to 3 meals a day with only the odd one or two days a week where I have a treat, I've not deprived myself at all but not eaten more than I've needed to and the combination of not over eating and exercise really has worked, it's still a better pregnancy than Dd 12 and ds 4 which amazes me at my age! Xxxxxxx

 

[dancareoi]

well done with the weight Becks.

Before we went away I had put on 14 pounds - so we`ll see what the scales say in the morning!

AFM - baby has hiccups again!

 

[Left wonderin]

God your both so so good !!!! Ok I'm setting my goal now I'm aiming for no more than 20lbs all pregnancy from now !! Better go buy myself a scales lol............. I'm a 14 edging close to a 16 ! So really don't want to gain

 

[Left wonderin]

Its easy right now as I don t want to eat I've actually lost weight but that will also come to and end and then the willpower will have to take over lol...
