It is lovely to be part of such a supportive group. To be privileged to be in at the very beginning has been great and to support those on the quest for their rainbows. I know I'm not alone in feeling very special.

[crysshae]

CONGRATULATIONS, BECKS! He's gorgeous! I came here to check on you, and reading your post gave me chills and teary eyes. I'm so happy for you!

Get busy, Home!

I've been thinking a lot lately that I'm going to give up, as I don't want to continue having the same issues I've had this year. And then I see your babies and know how badly I want to do this again. I'm so confused.

 

[HomeEdMom]

Creative the five was from the last 4 days showing progression.

Cry - maybe you should try again. I've had 3 previous losses plus the twins .... But I had 3 babies since my three losses so there is hope.

 

[HomeEdMom]

Josie - are you still testing darker on your OPKs?

 

[Creative]

Cry, it was at the point I had given up that my dreams came true. All the pressure was off and we only dtd once that month nowhere near where I'd thought I should and it happened. The stress we all put ourselves under trying to conceive is really not productive at all.

 

[josie1234]

Hi Crystal, I totally understand where you are coming from. It is hard and stressful ttc, I do hope that you get your sticky bean soon hun xx

No, opk is going lighter. I just want this cycle over with. Emotional today, DH gone back to work for 4 days so I am moody and crying. I get fed up with it all thinking of this for the next couple of years but he just looks at it short-term (4 days at a time). Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better.

Thank you, ladies. Y'all are so wonderfully supportive.

Home - I've had 5 successful pregnancies, and 6 live births, with no issues and no MCs between the ages of 18 and 35. So I just worry that these issues are caused by my age and that it won't get better. I know I can see it did get better for lots of the ladies here. I just get worried when I think about it too much.

 

[josie1234]

Crystal, it's natural to think about things too much. But this thread gives me hope and I hope it does to you too. It will happen hun, try to keep strong and stay positive. I know its hard but you will get there xxx

Crystal , I really didn't think it would happen for me either , I felt I'd left it too long, well didn't find my prince till late , then ttc for a year , then mc . I thought its all over now , I'm too old and it won't work but here I am 23 weeks . This thread gave me such hope along the way. The fact that everyone was 40+ ttc and there were so many successes gave me such comfort . In fact it was one of the most successful threads I belonged to . There is no doubt that ttc does get a little more challenging as we age , a lot got to do with egg quality but it definatly does not mean that it isn't possible just might take a while longer . Hang in there girl we are all here for you

That's more or less the situation I have been in. I'd never had an issue falling pregnant at the drop of a hat in my earlier days. It was only this last time at 44 that it took a year. Older bodies are certainly more difficult to get pregnant, but NOT IMPOSSIBLE!!
