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

[Left wonderin]

My sister had to give anti biotics in a syringe to her LO at 2 weeks old . She lay her back a little and just gave a little bit by bit into her mouth .

The key is so sit at a similar angle and set up as you would use to breast feed or bottle feed. introduce the syringe into the mouth and drip it in bit by bit. Take your time and then finish off with a feed.

Hi all - Looks like I have a BFP! It started same as my chemical, with three days of heavy brown spotting, but that tapered off, temp went up, and BFP!

I think boy, but would really love another girl! It is getting exciting now. Can't sleep due to weeing all night, being uncomfortable in bed and baby having a disco.
Need to go to my mums and get all our stuff round. Doing a fair bit of nesting at the moment. We were going tomorrow to get it all, but OH drives a charity bus and the door is broken so tomorrow he had to take it over to Huddersfield and who knows how long the repair will take. ARRGGHHHHHHHHH.

Becks - Giving it to him very slowly, a tiny bit at a time, is good. If you have problems getting him to take the syringe, you could also mix it with an ounce of milk at his feeding time. Only give him an ounce with the medicine to make sure he gets it all. Then give him the rest of the milk.

Karen - Congratulations on your home birth! You must be excited.

Congratulations Driving! H&H 9 months to you and your little one.

Blimey it has been busy on here. I have still been stalking. Just been busy. Congratulations Driving - so pleased for you, bet you are on cloud 9.

Becks - hope it doesn't take too long for the antibiotics to kick in, Brooklyn will be ok hun, he has super parents to love him.

Fi - sorry to hear that AF is here and you have had the talk. I think people are right, things are said because it hurts to go through the pain again and again, the disappointment etc. I don't know how many times I have said that I am going to give up. Hope you are ok, big hugs xx

Lisa - 6 hours, that's great. Glad things are settling down for you xx

How are you Crystal?

Creative - won't be long now, getting excited for you. I think a boy. I hope the charity bus gets fixed soon. So pleased for you being able to have home birth, bet that puts your mind at rest.

Regina - how's your bump coming along?

Is everybody else ok???

AFM - yes, temp went up this morning but to be honest, I am sick of this and expecting/hoping AF comes because then you won't be disappointed, does that make sense.

 

[josie1234]

tomorrow will be cd 43!!!!

[Oasis717]

Becks, Brooklyn sounds a good un. That should sort things out .

Driving, congrats. Glad you came back.

Just keep an eye on the stump now and track any redness. Also look out for antibiotic rash. Hope it works very quickly!

Becks - Hope Brooklyn is on the mend soon

Driving - a HUGE congrats sit back and relax now mama

Lisa - 6 hours that's great news she is getting more into a routine now which must make it easier for you

Regina - Happy V Day

Josie - Any news?

AFM - She came yesterday even though today I had a nice temp spike - not sure if I'm coming down with something I feel really hot and just generally yukky.

Spoke to hubby last night and he said no more talk off snippity until the New Year so I pushed my luck and said I'll order some OPKs then he sighed and said I suppose so - for now he is still on board come on rainbow baby climb in mummys tummy you only have a few more months

Thank you, it looks better today and he is still happily taking the medicine with no side effects it would seem so hopefully it won't b long and it will have gone. Had a lovely bf expert round this morning, she got Brooklyn on the breast but it was excruciating and I bled so she has arranged to come back tomorrow bringing a breast pump for me for the next couple of weeks which is lovely of her so hoping I can give Brooklyn expresses bm until my nipples heal xxxxx

after my first I ended up in hospital with mastitis and was simply told to give up rather than be helped to achieve what I wanted to do. With the second I chickened out and bottle fed and with my third I got a lovely supportive breast feed councillor who sorted me out (not without pain) which allowed me to feed for nearly two years.Sounds lovely that you now have support in place.

Thanks, all. It is good to be here, though I am still so nervous. I literally go to the bathroom every 20 minutes to check tp. One question - did you guys continue charting after your bfp? My temp went down again (not below coverline) so extra stress there...

 

[crysshae]

Becks - I'm glad you have a good BF expert. I hope she can help you achieve what you want. It's great he likes the medicine and is looking better!

Fiona - Congrats on getting to continue to try. Fingers crossed it happens before the new year!

Driving - It's completely normal to check every time you go to the bathroom and sometimes when you don't need to go. They say it's best to stop temping as it will drive you crazy.
