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

[lilblossom]

well its cd 6 and if this cycle follows last cycle then half way to O...will start opk's this weekend as best i can. We are entering our inventory phase at work so my schedule is going to severely hamper our chances this month...I will make time for bding but will be tired haha. Won't be able to be consistent on opk testing. On the upside I will be too busy for the first half of the tww to stress over it too much.

Being busy at work might help you to be less stressful about TTC.

I will start to look for signs that OV is on way - first i usually get a few little spots on my chin - approx 4 days after this i get EWCM - and approx 2 days later + OPK and 2 days later OV!!

Last month was a little earlier than i was expecting so we`ll see what happens. I would expect to get first signs at the start of next week!!!

hi dancareoi

I have been popping in and reading about how everyone is going I am glad everyone is hanging in there

I would highly recommend acupuncture. I know theres lots of alternative stuff out there and it all seems the same but there is clear scientific evidence that acupuncture assists in improving the uterine environment and more recently modern medicine which appears to know very little about the uterine environment is coming to terms with the idea that the quality of eggs is not determined by age but the environment they mature in. I only mention it because I have an aversion to needles but decided I couldn't ignore acupuncture a month ago and the day before yesterday I got my BFP on 11-12DPO ( a really dark line which came up straight away) and I really think acupuncture had a role in that. I definitely recommend it anyway

Just got a BFP on a cheapie but I don't know whether to believe it or not. I'm going to do a FRER later. Knowing my luck it's just a faulty IC. Pic is in my journal. I'm back on my phone at the mo so I can't post it on here xxx

As usual it was just a crap test. My FRER is blank. Don't know why I get my hopes up. So upset.
Oh and my sister has just texted to tell me she's pregnant

First stupid test that got my hope up


FRER

 

[lilblossom]

Just because your frer didn't show it yet doesn't mean anything...they are rated as being 25 mlu regardless of reports of picking up hcg at 12.5 ...so wait a couple days and do another...I see that line and I think you got your bfp.

keeping everything crossed

i agree Xanth dont count yourself out yet. When I got pregnant the first time couple of months ago I got negatives after the positive and started to realise some of these tests are unreliable. You can get a false negative but you can't get a false positive.

FX for you Xanth xxx

I agree with that the others have said.

Bad timing on your sisters part! My sister is expecting in september and I know she's finding my situation hard. I wish things were different, that we could all be pregnant and happy.

 

[Xanth]

Thanks ladies.

Temp is up again this morning and still no sign of AF.

 

[Butterfly67]

Madeline, wow congrats that is brilliant news

Xanth, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you - that first one definitely looks like a BFP

Creative

Well I have covered myself for this month. I am happier that I think I O'd today on cd 12 rather than the usual cd11 - just that little bit more time for the egg to develop. I have no expectations any more (although that is not to say that I do not have any hope ) so hopefully will not stress too much this tww.

Have you poas today yet? your and addict like the rest of us so lets see that stick hahahahahah

 

[Xanth]

Obviously lol, but it's my last one. There's something there (as usual) but not a lovely blaring positive like yesterday.

I think AF is going to arrive and I'm just fooling myself.
