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

[crysshae]

Congratulations to Sarah!

That rainbow prince is not far behind.

Yes! Lisa - Your story sounds like mine. You think you are done and have that loss feeling and then the want for another child overpowers and you have another one. We've done that twice too. Having more children is such a hard thing to give up. Like you all, I know it's the sensible thing to do, but it's not easy on the heart.


Are the ads on BnB driving anyone else crazy?

My doctor asked me not to try again for 2 cycles so she can check my day-21 progesterone next month. Ho hum....

Hi ladies, I don't know what happened but I lost this thread, don't know whether it unsubscribed me. Thought it was quiet!

But omg, another princess, how amazing!!!!!! Lisa, can you please pass on my love to Sarah, I am so pleased and excited for everyone.

I always wanted 2 children but when me and ex split up when DS was 3, thought that was it, circumstances overtook. I was a single mum for 3 years whilst in RAF so was kept busy coping. I never wanted such a big gap in ages for children but life can't be planned, eh? DH home today but only for a few days but think it will be too early for anything to catch but it won't stop me lol.

Lisa - I hope you are ok and I think it has been explained perfectly. Big hugs.

Crystal - frustrating for you but at least it is being looked at and hopefully get some answers.

How's everyone else??

Still wishing I was still pg . Also you forget how hard a new baby is, what with lack of sleep and constant feeding, being pregnant is easier!

Hoping all you TTC ladies get to experience it again.

I think that's what's worrying me Lisa. The quiet of now is not going to last and as much as I'm dying to meet Brooklyn I'm all to aware of how hard those first few weeks are a d am a little nervous. Plus I'm scared of the birth too, I know a repeat of Caseys birth is unlikely but it really traumatised me xxx

This can be your healing birth.

I agree with Karen, this time round could be perfect! Make the most of the next couple of weeks and relax as much as you can.

It's about a month ago I was admitted to hospital and during that whole time I have had interrupted sleep every single night.

You'd think 2 weeks in hospital would be relaxing with nothing to do, which it was but they're not the quietest of places even at night!

 

[crysshae]

Thanks, ladies. I know it's for the best. It's just the feeling like I'm doing nothing thing that drives me crazy. But I think I've decided to use these free months to try and lose that extra 20 pounds that has been hanging around too long. I think that will be a positive way of using this time. It's something I need to do anyway.

I love the name change too!

Lisa - Very true. Being pregnant is easier. I hope you are able to get some sleep when Caitlin sleeps.

Becks - I pray this is your healing birth too.

Jo - Fingers crossed you catch the egg this cycle.

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Crystal I think that's a fantastic, positive way to pass this time. I really wish I'd done the same tbh but I'm sure I can get back to loosing after the birth xxxx

 

[dancareoi]

I've updated first page with details of Sarah's (xanth) baby

 

[Oasis717]

Thank you Lisa and Karen too, really hope you're right and this time is completely different xxx

I've had some exciting news. Yesterday I was approached by a Norwegian magazine and asked if they can feature and promote my Story advent calendar in their magazine.

It will be in Novembers issue. Very excited although I can't read Norwegian!
