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

[crysshae]

Oh...is that the SMEP method? Lol. I didn't realize. I was thinking of the actually BDing every day near O. I guess that's not the same as every single day though. Lol.

In my previous 3 pg we bd every day. That didn't work this time so DTD every other day and that worked straight away!

 

[Oasis717]

Lol yes I think it is! It seems very effective for a lot of people I just wondered if anyone had tried to bd any more than that if smep didnt workxxx

 

[Oasis717]

I guess it's just a case of maybe trying different methods and seeing what works for you, we'll that's what we did anyways! Xxx

It happened about two months after I said to OH, I think we should stop trying now because of my age. I think we only DTD once that last month!

Morning everyone I'm so excited as I think I see the beginning of a bump . It's a shy one though I can't wait to look positively blooming !!! There are still days this does not feel real !

For me starting bding earlier in my cycle ( cd 6/7 ) instead of cd 10 and every other day seemed to work . I think I was leaving it too late and missing ov sometimes but as Becks says its different for everyone .

Lisa ouch that sounds sore , can they give you nothing stronger than parecetomol going home ???? Have we a name for the little princess yet ? Be warned though if I like it she might just have a name sake in Ireland as I'm in trouble if my little bundle is pink as there are NO girls names I like!!! Zero !

Becks you are now so so close are you getting nervous yet ? Have you much to do are are you all organised ? Ooooooooooooh it's so exciting

 

[garfie]

AFM - Tested again - BFN - still not out though

Oops pressed the send button before I finished ! Jo your chart is interesting to say the least ! Are you opk every day ? I ask as there is gaps ? Is it possible that you are missing your surge on the days you are not testing ? I will be watching your chart with interest

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Regina, a baby bump for you how exciting!! We are just about organised we just need to pick up the cot and travel system but we need dh's mums car for that so will do next week but my hospital bag is all packed and all baby things washed have just spoken to my midwife as the lightning pains in my cervix have been quite bad the last two days and actually made me cry out a couple of times. She thinks it's a combination of the baby's head coming down and a bit of SPD which I've had the last two pregnancies. I've been told to rest up which I happy to do as today and yesterday I've not felt right and feel totally wiped out. With ds at school I can now take a nap so will do just that xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Hi Regina, yes I was trying to opk every day but did miss a couple, so could have missed it. oops. Great that you are getting a little bump, so cute. It will soon blossom x

Becks - sounds painful, hope you are ok and get chance to rest and get to sleep when you can (when you are not walking lol).

Xanth - how are you? Another day closer.

Dawn - yep, not out yet, keep us updated. Good luck, keeping fingers crossed.

Hope you're ok Lisa today x

Pain is manageable today, just need to keep taking paracetamol and ibuprofen.

Baby is slightly jaundice so waiting on blood test results, not sure if going home or not yet, depends on that result . She has been weighed today and has lost 9.9% of her original weight , acceptable loss level is 10% so just about right!

Still waiting for some new bfp sending dust over to you TTC ladies.

 

[crysshae]

Karen - Isn't that funny how quickly it worked when you weren't worried about it anymore. That's great! Good luck with your birth plan.

Fiona - Good luck! Fingers crossed for you!

Jo - Good luck and fingers crossed for you too!

Regina - Yay for a baby bump!

Becks - I hope your pain lightens up soon as baby gets settled in.

Lisa - Glad your pain is getting better. All of my BF babies would get slightly jaundiced in the first few days. I hope her levels are within normal limits. Thanks for the dust!

 

[Creative]

Consultant said Yes!

Will fill all the details in after the weekend.
Ollie goes to Uni tomorrow so I am up to my eyes in packing.

Still no name Lisa?

 

[dancareoi]

Sorry still no name although I like Caitlin with maybe Niamh as a second name.

We want an Irish name as DH family are Irish

Regina just read back and saw your bump post! Also you are struggling with names, here's another for you my eldest dd name is Cara.

Baby's jaundice levels have gone up a bit so they did a blood test, all came back ok so we are finally off home in the morning after 19 days I will be going home!

 

[crysshae]

That's wonderful news for both of you! Congratulations!

Oh, and lovely names, Lisa. Good luck finding that perfect name!

 

[Left wonderin]

I love Irish girls names but the problem is so do my 4 sisters who all have children and mostly girls !!! Between oh and my family the following names are taken
Niamh , caomihe , Aoife , Grainne , Fiona , Orla and Aine !!! Only one boy Connor so if its a boy we are sorted lol..... I love Niamh , Caomihe and Grainne errrrr . Was thinking Maebh but not sure ah well LO just better be a SEAN lol........

I'd say you are soooo excited to be going home to sleep in your own bed. Xxxxxx
