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

[josie1234]

Hi everyone, how are you all.

Lisa, you have been through such a lot and you are bound to feel emotional now that your gorgeous girl has arrived, hormones also play a big part as well dealing with the pain. Hope you are ok soon hun.

Wow, Crystal, that's amazing. I must be a lucky cycle buddy as Regina got a BFP when we were cycle buddies lol. Looking forward to the updates.

Xanth and Becks - how are you both doing? Getting closer.

Dawn - will be keeping an eye on your chart, good luck, keeping everything crossed for you. xx

AFM - went to visit my best mate in Lincoln yesterday and there were some cover bands singing at a do, it was really good. I bumped into loads of people that I haven't seen for ages from the RAF. Came back this morning and saw DH before he went away, he is now on a course so won't see him til about the 23rd Sep. Rubbish

Early night for me as I am tired from the late night and lots of driving. Catch you all later xx

Oh Lisa,

I have a Buggyfit facebook page and on some of the pages I liked for my mums, I found this... not sure if it is of any use.

Thank you for the luck, Jo! I hope I was as lucky for you!

 

[Xanth]

Congrats Cry. I see it

Hospital tomorrow for monitoring. BP high on Friday and protein in urine.

Baby is not breech Whoo hoo so no c section (at the moment). Induction now booked for 16th as long as my BP behaves. Got to go in Thursday as well xxx

 

[crysshae]

Thank you. I hope your blood pressure stabilizes and the protein in your urine resolves quickly.

 

[josie1234]

Good luck Xanth, hope it all goes ok at the hospital. Hope the BP goes down and also the protein in urine. Glad that you don't have to have a C Section. Won't be long hun. So exciting.

How is everyone today, it is quiet on here. So much for a good sleep, I was awake at 4 am and couldn't get back to sleep til 6 then I was up just after half 6.

Anyone care to interpret my crazy chart?? lol. On CD 26 so hopefully not long to wait one way or another.

 

[Oasis717]

I wish I knew what to make of your chart Jo! Maybe crazy is good? find out soon like you said. Sleeping is hard for me really I'm up so many times for the loo and to turn cause of my hips but I'm still doing ok with no real problems other than usual pregnancy ones. Brooklyn moves so much! Apparently moves are less by now with more wriggles than kicks. Someone needs to tell my son that lol as I continue to get booted pretty much continuously but that's just fine by me a lot of cervical pain again today on moving and bending so just taking it easy walking Casey to school etc. maybe he'll come earlier? They put me forward 5 days at the 12 week scan but I know exactly when I ovulated and implanted so I'm thinking of 30/09 as my due date not the 05/10 we shall see!! Xxx

 

[crysshae]

Jo - I often have a hard time sleeping a day or two before O, due to the estrogen surge. Have you noticed that happening to you in past cycles?

Becks - He's a feisty one. It sure sounds like he might be thinking about coming early. I hope you get some relief from the pains you're having.

 

[dancareoi]

Hi, my hip pain has now gone, but my tummy is so tender and turning over in bed and getting up is still a struggle.

I think it's probably due to section and way she was lying. If she has been breach her legs would have been right there when cut was made. However because she was across at the top they would have has to reach right inside to get her!

Becks make the most of the last few weeks, I am so missing being pregnant, probably feels worse knowing I won't be having any more!

Even more strange I am missing the hospital! Probably missing the fact that i was looked after for 3 weeks without any worried about housework, sorting kids, cooking etc!

Still no name for baby but think we are swaying towards Caitlin.

Talking on which she is making he odd little noise so will be after some more milk very soon.

Jo, I am completely at a loss with your chart this month. Any thoughts on testing? I don't know how you wait, like Becks did, I was testing so early I just could 't wait !

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks ladies, I had 5 big contractions walking up the school this aft walking seems to bring them on a lot so you never know he may be early and I wonder if be will move this much after I've had him as he certainly makes it known he's there! Considering I first felt movement of sorts at 10 weeks I expect it's to be expected! Lisa I'm glad you're a little better. Some people like the celebs think a section is the easy way out but it would seem not. Loving the name if you do go with it. I must admit I said to dh I will so miss him being there once he's born. Feeling him and him waking with me. I think that must be a little sad for all new mums xx. Cry how are you feeling?? Xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Hi Crystal, I have never really noticed whether I have trouble sleeping around o time.

To be honest, due to my situation with DH being away a lot, I am really debating on stopping opk and temping as it is just stressing me out and it never seems to be clear to me what my cycle is doing. It doesn't seem to have a regular pattern each month. As I am not going to see him much lately, then I might try it for the next cycle and just try to relax. It is like breathing though eh? Getting out of the habit will be hard lol.

Yes, any mention of testing and there I am POAS lol. BFN but defo think it is too early anyway. Think I may have another week to wait maybe. Had a little snooze this afternoon but think I feel worse for it.

Lisa, glad the hip pain has gone but not good that you are still tender. Aren't the pain killers helping any? Blimey sounds like she was really snuggled in there. I totally understand how you are missing being pregnant as you probably cherished every moment of pregnancy despite all the worry. And of course being looked after in hospital is great, food being made, having a chance to relax with no 'house' things to worry about. That's a lovely name. It's hard deciding. Hope you are pain-free soon xx

Some people like the celebs think a section is the easy way out but it would seem not.

To me, it would be my worst nightmare. Having nursed women post cs, I can honestly say that there is no way that is easy. Healing from such a major incision does take time and is painful.
I can only think that those who think it is easy have servants, a private physician prescribing copious quantities of painkillers etc!

 

[crysshae]

Lisa - I hope that incision and the tenderness it causes heals up soon for you. That will be a lovely name if you decide to go with it.

Becks - Oh goodness. Do you take water with you when you walk?

I'm feeling well. I get nauseated when I eat and feel a little "off" here and there, but doing well otherwise. Had a positive FRER yesterday with a faint but easy to see line!

Jo - If you think it would relieve your stress, I would try it. I understand what you mean though. I feel like I have to chart. It's even hard to stop when you get your BFP.

 

[Oasis717]

Wow cry it's really for real!!!! Yay. So v v pleased for you! Xxx.
Creative I think they probably do have all that which is why they opt for the section I guess. Too posh to push! I think after hearing what Lisa has been through it would be my worst outcome too. And I thought forceps was bad! I think sections should only be for when absolutely needed like in Lisa's case or if the baby needs to come out ASAP with problems etc. xxx
Jo it will be hard getting out of the habit but maybe you need a break? Another friend of mine I met on a different thread and I stay in touch with via email has just got positive hpts the month she basically stopped trying. Sometimes just relaxing does the trick! Xx

 

[crysshae]

Thank you, Becks. Now if the lines would just get darker...

 

[Creative]

cry that is amazing news. Nausea is really good... just keep telling yourself that!

 

[Oasis717]

They will get darker don't worry my body sure is trying to worry me. Contractions every 3 mins for the last hour and half! They are strong these bh. Need them to go away now it's making me worry! Xx

 

[crysshae]

Lol! So true!

Well...I guess my test is darker.

These are from the same batch, ordered at the same time, but came in 2 separate ziplock bags. Used the same urine.

And do you think the FRER is darker? I kinda think so, but I'm afraid I just might be biased.

 

[crysshae]

They will get darker don't worry my body sure is trying to worry me. Contractions every 3 mins for the last hour and half! They are strong these bh. Need them to go away now it's making me worry! Xx

Oh goodness. Have you had a full glass of water since they started? Brant did that to me forever, and I had to be induced. I guess my body just figured he still wasn't ready since I had been contracting for an hour or two a couple of times a day for a month.

 

[Oasis717]

I think they are getting darker! That's a good line on the frer the bottom ic is definitely darker. Nothing to worry about there xxx
