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

[Creative]

Well I was expecting AF overnight and she never came.I've been running around organising a wedding all day and just come in and AF still is not here. I did POAS first thig, but it was a BFN again. I have felt slightly queezy the last few days, but I would have thought it would have shown as a BFP before now if I was pregnant.

How many DPO are you Creative xxx

Not sure exactly. I had EWCM on day 12, 13, 14 and 15. If I ovulated on day 14 I am PO16.

Still no AF.

Feeling very very down and low tonight. Checking my FF chart and it appears my LP is only 9 days not 10 as I thought - so that is a problem.

I am going to try and see my doctor this week, as we are going away next week and I don`t want to leave it any longer.

I know vitamin B6 can help, but i am taking pregnacare pre-natal.

I am totally devasted - somebody out there really hates me - taking my baby away at 13 weeks and now this

why me, what have i ever done - i feel like my heart has been ripped out.

After i wrote this i spent a long time googling and think i may have a low Progesterone level.

I am wondering if the pregnacare preconception tablets are not agreeing with my either, since my MC in Jan i have been taking one every day. It may be coincidence, but since then i have been worried about my periods, each month they last about 5-6 days with heavy bleeding for a couple with blood clots/lumps of tissue, which can be caused by low progesterone.

I have decided to stop taking them and go back to folic acid only and I want to start taking vitamin B6 but not sure how much. I am going to see my doctor on wednesday about this.

On advice from other people, I have also googled acupuncturists in my area and am going to speak to them to see if it something they could help with.

creative - just keep testing, it may be your month

xanth - how about you?

The B6 definitely helped lengthen my LP You can get them 3 for 2 at Tesco. You have to take 5-10 though, as they're only a small dose.

Well I feel a bit guilty writing this. Got a this morning.

I know you'll all understand though, when I say I just can't get excited, and I'm just wondering how long it's going to last

 

[Creative]

Don't feel guilty at all. I think it's utterly fab and hope it's a sticky one.

There is no need to feel guilty, you have been trying for long enough. We need some good news.

Positive thoughts for a sticky bean. I recall your blood sugars were a problem?? Just eat all the boring foods, hopefully that will help and will you be able to get a vit D supp?

I am going to go out now and buy some B6, probably go to Boots.

How much did your LP lengthen by?

 

[Xanth]

Thanks ladies.

My LP lengthened from 9 days to 12. It lengthened by one day the first month I took it. Hope it works for you

 

[dancareoi]

Thanks ladies.

what a game that was!!!! Went to Bootsw and Sainsbury and neither had a high enough dosage.

I then went to Tesco and was about to buy 3 tubs of their extra strength B vitamins which had 10mg per table.

However, i went to pharmacy and asked them and she had something stronger, which you can buy over the counter - Pyridoxine - 1 tablet is 50mg.

She said to take the one for now and see what the doctor says when i see her.

I have also just spoken to an acupuncturist who deals with this sort of thing and have booked a free consultation with him on 8th august, to have a chat and see if i want to proceed. He suggests an 8 weekly course.

the way I see it, this can only help me generally, although i hate needles, but if i do get PG before the appointments start (which will probably be sept due to hols etc) i can always cancel.

What dosage of B6 did you take?

I took 5 of the Tesco ones daily. So 50mg. I know u can go higher. Some days I took an extra couple for good measure lol, but mostly 5 a day.
Acupuncture scares me but lots of ladies on here swear by it. Hopefully you won't need it

This 50mg will hopefully do the trick.

The acupuncturist is a back up option, but the way i see it, it can`t do any harm, especially as they claim it`s help sustain pregnancies as well.

We shall see.

have you booked to see your doctor yet?

 

[Xanth]

I haven't lol. I just bypass the Dr and straight to the consultant. He'll be inviting me to his Christmas party, I see him so much lol.

Diabetic clinic is on Friday. I'm too scared to ring at the moment lol. I'm giving it a couple of days. They can usually squeeze me in

AF came. so I'm back to CD1.

xanth - go and sit in the garden - that should help your vitamin D - sun at last.

the kids are having a water fight, first one for my 2 year old and he is loving it.

Feeling more positive this afternoon - I`m going to take the 50mg B6 and the pregnacare and see what doc says - that will be 60mg of B6.

hopefully just 1-2 increase in LP will be enough.

 

[Creative]

Thanks
I was actually quite glad as all the POAS was telling me NO and I wanted another go.
OH probably secretly pleased as he's getting lots of practice!
Funny because all my three are autumn winter babies and I always wanted a summer baby so maybe I'm going to have one of those.

 

[dancareoi]

Hi all,

Xanth - how are you?

Just been to docs and explained about LP and clotting in AF. It could be down to low progesterone levels so the 50mg B6 a day is good and she is happy for me to take that with the pregnacare which has 10mg.

She said hopefully this should increase LP and help AF - so we will see.

in the meantime she wants to do a blood test 8 days after OPK to check i am actually OV , so i need to call docs as soon as that happens, she wants to do that for 2 cycles.

Once we have done that, we may get a clearer picture of what is going on.

Feel a bit happier now i`ve been to see her, at least I feel like i am doing something!

She also said i need to stop stressing about it all,because as we know that doesn`t help.

i explained that i am constantly on internet, in forums and charting etc and she said although it can all be helpful (which has all been very helpful, especially you wonderful ladies here) it can sometimes have an adverse effect.

The FF charting has been useful because i have found out about the short LP - but the sympton spotting after OV really stresses me out.

I am away next week for a whole week and i won`t be temping then so that will keep me away from FF and may help to relax me a little.

i will still be around here when i get back, becasue it is good to talk with people in the same boat.

Doc also said as and when I do get PG to keep taking B6 until about 12 weeks.

I am wondering now if this was the cause of my MC, as i believe that progesterone is needed to sustain a PG and if my levels were low, maybe this is why i lost my LO.

I am going to try and be positive and chill out on holiday and try to de-stress and come back fighting fit to get my rainbow.

xanth - still early days for symptons, I`m guessing you are only about 4 weeks, so no need to worry yet.

Can I join in?

Hi everybody...a little about me. I am 41 years old, no children, never been married. I met a wonderful man 3 years ago who has 2 older children from a previous marriage. I was on the pill because I believed I did not want children but I was bit by the mommy bug so I got off the pill in November 2011 and just waited to see what would happen.
My hunny proposed to me on New Years at 12:01 and 12 days later I found out I was pregnant. I was so happy and excited. I made my appointment to go to the doctor and at the ultrasound I knew something was wrong. The doctor said I was early and had me give blood so she could test my levels - well the levels were steadily decreasing so she told me she did not think it was a viable pregnancy. I had a miscarriage in late February.
I have never cried as much as I did. Even though it was early, I was so excited about having a baby....I just can't seem to shake the sadness.
I have been trying since March without success....
I have been stalking these boards for months and just got the courage to post after finding this thread.....hope I can join in.
I wish for all of us .
