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

[Oasis717]

Yes plenty of water just went to the loo 3 times in 10 mins lol. I had an irritable uterus with ds 4 and had to be induced in the end but not with this pregnancy. Every time it's like this I think is this it! I'm not ready yet I need them to ease off xxx

 

[crysshae]

Yay! Thank you. It's crazy how much difference there is in the same batch of ICs.

I hope it eases off for you soon. Tell Brooklyn they are just practice contractions.

 

[Oasis717]

Lol I've just told him it's wonderful seeing those tests get darker isn't it! Xxx

 

[crysshae]

Yes ma'am, it is!

 

[Oasis717]

Lovin your ticker! It doesn't seem so long ago mine was saying 3 weeks before you know it ill be reassuring you about contractions xxx

 

[crysshae]

I can't wait!

I know I've seen others wait a while to post a ticker after a miscarriage, but I want to enjoy every minute of it!

 

[josie1234]

Yes, I can see it darker, that's good Crystal. That's great, bet you can't really believe it yet eh? I guess I could give it a go of not doing anything for a month and see how I get on, it will be tough, have they got a POAS addict help-line lol.

Feel a bit crampy at the minute, hope AF isn't coming just yet as a bit early and then means cycle will be shorter this time.

Hope the BH manage to calm down a bit for you Becks. Hold on in there Brooklyn. Yeh, I thought forceps were bad but C Section will take a lot to get over.

 

[crysshae]

Thanks, Jo! Yeah...it still feels a bit surreal right now.

Lol! If you find a helpine, I need the number too.

 

[Creative]

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.

certainly getting darker!!

 

[josie1234]

Hope Brooklyn is listening Becks and stays nice and cosy for a while longer.

Crystal - yes, nice when line goes darker as sometimes you feel like you are convincing yourself the line is there. Also nice to get other opinions too. Woo hoo. You get that ticker up there girl, makes it more real.

AFM - cramping more by the minute, think this could be it, ache in lower back too which I always get when its time. It is strange as my cycle lengths have been in the 30s since April (when it was 28). But because I can't fathom out when (or if) I ovulated this month, I can't see my LP (think it has been 13 days previously but FF says 15 for last cycle).

 

[FindingKismet]

Yay crysshae!! Congrats on the BFP! Wow. I love to hear you're enjoying it too. That's how I hope I can be if I get pregnant again. Hopefully I can pull it off (getting pregnant first, and then being happy about it LOL).

I was just popping in to let you gals know I did another vlog, in case you like to watch them. Here you go.

[crysshae]

Thank you! I hope you get your take home baby soon.

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Jo they eventually stopped at gone 11! They started walking up the school at 3 so that's the longest they've ever been. I have a feeling that might just be how it goes now. So glad they're gone as some of them were quite painful although nothin compared to what's coming I know! Xx

 

[Left wonderin]

Becks so glad they are gone for you , but it did make me a little more excited for you and made it more real that after its not long now and Brooklyn will be here.

 

[josie1234]

Hi Stephanie, watched your video, good luck with your next cycle with IUI and the financing for IVF. Fingers crossed for you hun. xxx

Xanth and Becks - another day closer, sooooo exciting. Glad that the BH calmed down for you Becks, is it like that every day now?

Lisa - hope the pain gets better and that it goes soon. Are you getting chance to rest?

How's everyone else? AFM - still crampy and backache, defo think AF is coming today, few days earlier than I thought it would be but ho hum. Have a good day everyone.

 

[dancareoi]

The horrible pain I had seems to be gone but I am still taking paracetemol and ibuprofen . My tummy still feels very tender though.

I am also extremely sore from breast feeding and all she seems to want to do is feed. She is asleep now so hoping she goes for 4 hours to give my boobs a rest!

Although reluctant I may have to give some formula but don't really want to, so we'll see. She's doing well at night though and only waking once.

She settled about 11 last night and woke at 2, settled by 3 then went til 7!

Becks, how are he BH ?

Sarah not long now.

Baby is now 1 week old. Still not officially named but it is looking like Caitlin. Not sure about middle name. I like the idea of Niamh.

DH just called and says Niamh would be too difficult to spell for people. He's now throwing Erin into the mix. He's saying Erin Caitlin . What about Caitin Erin? Really don't know now!

 

[Left wonderin]

Oh Dance I feel for you !!! It's not easy when your unsure of names !! I can't believe she is a week old already .. Where did that time go ?? I vote for Erin , it's always a name I liked but can't use now myself as I have a great niece called Eire ! Don't worry you will be looking at her one day and it will just come to you xxxxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

I like Caitlin Erin I had the same trouble with dd 12 when breast feeding and in the end gave so e formula. It just wasn't working breast feeding alone and literally all I did was sit and feed her for hours and she still cried xx. It's like this with the bh everyday now I've had quite a few already today so I'm thinking this is it til the real thing! Xx

 

[dancareoi]

Realised we can't have Erin as a first name as our youngest DS is Eoin so they sound too similar, so Caitlin Erin may be better.

 

[josie1234]

That sounds lovely Lisa, it is hard choosing names. Blimey, that week went so quick!! I didn't last long BF DS as he was constantly there and not settling so for the sake of my sanity, I went to formula. Was so much happier afterwards (both of us).

Becks - hope they are not too painful if this is going to be it from now til the birth.
