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

[crysshae]

Lisa - I like Caitlin Erin too. Very pretty. I hope she gets settled into a feeding routine soon. Those first couple weeks are so hard with the soreness that goes along with it. That's wonderful she's only waking you up once in the night!

Becks - I hate to hear you're going to have to deal with those contractions every day. I hope they ease up.

Jo - Sorry to hear about AF possibly showing up. Do you think this cycle might have been anovulatory? The very first cycle I ever charted was anovulatory and only 20 days long! Had me worried to death! But everything went right back to normal the next month, and I got pregnant 2 cycles after that first one.

 

[Left wonderin]

I was thinking that Jo too by looking at your chart , apparently everyone women has at least two of them a year , what's making me think it is that there is no obvious and consistant temperature rise . I'd chart again carefully next month and see what happens or maybe it means your going to. Have one hell of a long cycle !!

 

[Left wonderin]

Jo looking at your chart again , looks like you did get a surge on cd 10 with your positive Opk but perhaps you didn't ov with the surge as no temp rise ? How long have u been. Charting ? And are you doing it faithfully at the same time every morning. It would be interesting to see the pattern over a few months

Jo, sorry Af got you .

We have decided on Caitlin Erin.

 

[Left wonderin]

Well an offical welcome to the world Caitlin Erin xxxxxxx

 

[garfie]

Welcome Little Princess - from all your BNB aunties

AFM - Tested at 10DPO - BFN - so will test again tomorrow unless she gets me

I do know one thing I'm not waiting 7 weeks again - that's almost 3 missed opportunities for me

So come on body - sort it out

[Left wonderin]

Those temps still look really good Garfie , I'm not giving up on this cycle yet lol ........
No sign of her coming just yet with that temp rise .

Lisa loving the name beautiful name for a beautiful little girl xxx
Fi those temps are looking great you're not out yet!! Xx

it is a lovely name. i love celtic inspired names.

Oooo just noticed I am no longer an aubergine!!

I've never ever worn maternity clothes before with all three of my pregnancies. (apart from one pair of maternity dungerees that are still going strong 22 years later!)
This time I have outgrown my PJ's t shirts, cardigans and coats and have had to go and buy a maternity coat and a whole load of new supersized clothes items.

 

[dancareoi]

it is a lovely name. i love celtic inspired names.

Thanks. DH family are Irish, they come from the Aran islands, hence the names.

We now have Daniel, Cara, Eoin and Caitlin.

Christmas cards will take some time to write this year!

 

[crysshae]

Lisa - Lovely names. It will be a beautiful card.

Fiona - I agree with the others. Your chart is looking great!

Karen - Yay for squash! Sorry you had to buy maternity clothes. I "spread" all over every time I'm pregnant. It's like as soon as my body knows I'm pregnant, everything moves outward. I can wear my own lounge pants with elastic waists throughout most of the time, but I have to replace shirts and "going out in public" pants.

Jo - I'm sorry about AF. Fingers crossed for you this cycle.

Becks - How are you feeling?

 

[dancareoi]

I was in maternity jeans from about 7 weeks!


Thought I would share my birth story but not much to say really.

Was put on dextrose and insulin drip about 7.00am. They took me down just after 9 to get me ready and do the spinal block.

Took a little while to get her out as she was lying transverse so they really had to dig about (probably why I'm so tender still and still walking very carefully ) she was pulled out by her legs followed by the rest of her at 9.55am.

Took them just as long then to sew me up!

First 2 days I was on a mixture of morphine and paracetemol . Has to have a clexane injection once a day in tummy until yesterday and still taking 6 paracetemol and 3 ibuprofen each day.

Hi all, sorry I haven't replied. Maybe you are right about my cycle so I will still chart this month. Didn't know whether to put AF as it was sort of spotting or light AF. But onwards and upwards, not going to stress, sometimes you feel a bit relieved when it comes and then you can start again (if that makes sense), although it is disappointing.

Lovely name Lisa. Hope you and Caitlin are ok today.

Karen, Woo hoo at not being an aubergine.

Fiona, temps still looking good. How's everyone else?? Just been doing some training for a gym customer care job which is 7 hours a week which fits into my classes so that's good. First shift Monday afternoon.

Have a good day xx

 

[Oasis717]

I'm sorry about af Jo but onwards and upwards to the next cycle we are all behind you it's a lucky thread and someone's got to come next soon!! Xxx
Thanks for asking Crystal, I'm ok today walked for about an hour as we had to pick up our pram/travel system which is all set up now and really lovely. No bad bh as yet but loads yesterday! How are you feeling? Any symptoms yet? My nausea started at 3.5 weeks xxx

 

[crysshae]

Yay for a new travel system! I'm glad the BH are allowing you some relief today.

I've had on and off nausea since 6 dpo. That day I felt queasy all day. Wondered about it then but figured it was just wishful thinking that early. Some days my tummy feels okay, and then others I have nausea because I'm hungry and then nausea when I'm about finished eating. The 2nd standout symptom I noticed before my BFP was last Thursday or Friday...I was looking at puppies on a shelter site, and I started crying when I looked at one of them. That is so not me. So the emotional part started early.

Today I realized I have pregnancy brain already too. I completely forgot to pick up my sister's cat yesterday. Then when I remembered this morning, I was crying over it. I was texting my sister to apologize. I did not mention crying at all or anything, but I was apparently so emotional in my words she guessed I was pregnant!! How does that happen in text?

My oldest daughter knows...on accident too. I just told DH yesterday afternoon after getting a digital BFP. When we went to the store last night, my daughter asked if we needed tampons. I said probably and told her to get the mixed box because she will be due to start in a few days. Then because I said "Do you use the super?" she said "Why? Is there something you want to tell me?"

This one is not going to be kept secret very well for very long. Lol!

 

[garfie]

Jo - Sorry she got you I know you have always been fit but I think I read somewhere that to much exercise can screw up your cycle are you aware of this at all - runners for example

Cry - Oh dear deff not going to be the best kept secret but then why should it be - I think if and when mine happens again I will still shout it from the roof tops I thought forgetting things was down to age - I keep doing daft things like going somewhere and forgetting what I've gone for. The best one is calling the kids the wrong names my boys says that is an EPIC FAIL calling them one of the animal names

Becks - If I remember rightly everything started early with Brooklyn - early test, early symptoms, so I hope you're ready in case he puts in an early appearance

I will test again tomorrow



X

 

[Oasis717]

Haha Fi yes early everything!! Now we have the pram and car seat I feel much better as you know you can't take baby away from hospital without a car seat. So yes now we are finally ready and it's just a waiting game xxx

 

[josie1234]

Hi yes I did think about the exercise thing. Now that summer hols are over I wont get as many classes to cover. Just can't say no lol. But saying that, I have said no to a few lately. Maybe if I get more hours as receptionist in gym then will give up a couple of my regular classes. May be stress too with everything going on with DH.

What will be will be. Did have a panicky thought about menopause!!

Good luck with testing. Sending positive vibes to you via internet. Come on!! 19 sep is my guess.

Becks yep I reckon Brooklyn will make early appearance into the world.

 

[josie1234]

19 Sep was the date for Brooklyn.
