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

[HomeEdMom]

Danca I wasn't sure if you could O with a positive hpt but I had left ovary pains yesterday so we dtd just in case and that was cd14. I'm still going to test every day, got millions of cheap OPKs and pg tests I have this incredible urge to poas.

Creative I lived in Bradford! My eldest son was born in Bradford too so he is officially Yorkshire man by birth. I left England to 2000 to live in Northern Ireland again, we live right by the see in a pretty postcard village.

Fiona, Jo, and Amanda - Fingers crossed you all O soon and catch that egg!

Fi - Having that many OPKs must be getting frustrating.

How is everyone doing?

Becks - You are probably getting tired of answering questions at this stage, but we have to ask! How are you feeling? Any inklings?

Think I have prob missed it this month but to be honest it would be a miracle if I fell this month due to not seeing DH much. I know it only takes one but we'll see.

Fingers crossed for you Home and Garf. Xxx

Becks hope you are ok. Come on Brooklyn I am away next week and want to see you x

Lol no don't be daft! It's lovely of you all to care and ask me! Thank you xxx nope nothing mild contractions today that came to nothing. Walking is v hard now as my back is v bad ATM but I'm just feeling lucky that I've got right to the end and not suffered with it til now. So v tired and slept for 2 hours today which I never ever do. I don't think he'll be early now lol xxxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

[Oasis717]

Morning all how are you today?

Slept through my alarm this morning as I slept terrible. So I took my temp about 30 mins later this morning.
It's going to be a long day!

 

[HomeEdMom]

Morning .... Becks ... Hurry up! I want to see what baby looks like. Just kidding, take your time and savour every moment of being pregnant because your life is about to roller coaster.

Josie, your temp should still be okay with some luck, mine can vary some mornings but if I look back through past charts it's never really affected the overall trend. The only thing is I have to set the time on my charts as default because I don't always fill it in till later on in the day.

My temp is still high arggggggggggg I am going to pg test today and OPK, my pg test yesterday was paler than before so I am hoping. Got to remind myself not to pee for 3 or 4 hours and for a mom to many that is a hard thing to do.

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Amanda although I really won't miss the heartburn! It's constant now! I also ovulated whilst I was still getting positive pregnancy tests. My opks were positive over 48 hours when they'd been completely neg before and after and I had v definite ovulation symptoms so it can happen xxxx

 

[garfie]

Becks - Any news yet?

Josie - Half an hour shoudn't make to much of a difference - glad I wasn't the only one who couldn't get out of bed this morning

Left - When will we get to see a bump pic - soon I hope

Lisa - Hope you and Caitlin are having lots of snuggles

Creative - We will be across the bridge - gotta waste some money meaning the fair is coming to town

AFM - This is now the 6th day of positive OPK - come on little eggy get out - or do I go by FF and be 8DPO

Fiona, could you be pg? I got positive OPK when pg just as I go positive hpt.

Caitlin is 1 month old today! Don't know where last month has gone !

 

[garfie]

Lisa - Wow wouldn't that be something - of course I could be I guess remember I had extremely high temps last month (2nd cycle after DNC) - so this month if I was with these temps I know what to expect

Oh dear now you have me thinking - but honestly if I am I have absolutely no symptoms - which is why I'm thinking not

So should I test soon then - or carry on taking OPKs decisions decisions

[dancareoi]

It was just a thought because its strange to get so many OPK before OV but maybe it's just eggie taking its time!

 

[Oasis717]

Hi Fi nope no news other than painful bh and some cramping but I think that's normal. Really struggled to walk today as the pressure and back pain are making it really difficult but I've been out twice today up those steep hills! The mums up the school can't believe I'm still able to they were all driving from about 32 weeks!!! Xx

 

[josie1234]

Fiona - fingers crossed that Lisa is right, I do hope so for you hun.

Becks - You are doing well keeping up the walking, did you walk as much when you were pregnant with your DS. It will be keeping you fit for your labour hun. Not long now xx

 

[Oasis717]

Yes Jo walked right to the end when I went into hospital to be induced 12 days over. Have been up all night unable to sleep through these bh which are every 3/4 mins which is unusual. They haven't progressed or got longer so I'm takin it they're just bh but so strong I've not been able to sleep through them xxx

 

[crysshae]

Oh goodness! I did that with my youngest for the last month or so. It drove me crazy. They would never progress, and that turned out to be my first induction. I hope you get some rest and that your contractions begin to progress properly when Brooklyn is ready.

 

[dancareoi]

My BH were like that the day I went into labour with youngest DS. This could be the start xx

 

[dancareoi]

Was feeding Caitlin on previous post and haven't been able to get back to sleep. Think my hormones are playing up again as I've started feeling all weepy again and yesterday was really snappy with DH.

Silly things like, why didnt we have family photo taken at DS confirmation in July, mainly because I have not bump photos taken with the kids and really regretting it now so it's making me all sad.

Plus DH has clinic app on 16th oct about the snip, I don't want him to get it done even though I know he won't agree to more kids

I hate feeling like this .

Sorry to all you TTC ladies, I must sound so ungrateful, hopefully it will pass again soon .

I really thought when Caitlin was born I would feel complete and happy with what I had and be ready to call it a day, but I don't.

 

[josie1234]

Hi Lisa - big hugs to you hun. Hope you are ok. I have no words of wisdom for you but just hope things get easier for you. When I feel down about things, I just think about the women that are ttc that have no children and yearn so much to be a mum. It makes me so grateful for my DS.

Is it because ttc has taken up so much of your time, something to focus on and aim for and now that it has happened, it is a case of - what now??

Becks - morning hun, hope today is the day for you xx

How is everyone else? Easy day today, going to get hair cut and DH is home later xx
