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

[josie1234]

Morning how is everyone today?
Didn't sleep very well last night as sinuses playing up so that may account for temp rise. Still BFN.

What hpt are you using Jo? Xx.

Afternoon Ladies

Jo - At last you are in the TWW - wow what a hell of a cycle this has been for you - all worth it if there's a BFP at the end

Becks - Did he like his first bath? - Hope his belly button has healed and you are also on the road to recovery

Regina - Ouchie - hope all the rest is doing you good (get used to it - the rest that is) you will need it more and more over the coming weeks

Creative - Are you next up?

Dance - How is that gorgeous little girl of yours

Home - I could see that line - lovely and clear fingers crossed for you hun

Mandy - Welcome hun

Cry - How are you hun?

AFM - So last month was a bit of a weird cycle to say the least this month I bought some new OPKs and now I'm ready.

So I tested CD5 (old batch and got a POS) thought you're not catching me this time.

CD6 tested again (new batch) and deff POS - so it looks like my cycle is going to be a short one this month - maybe?

Maybe I am already PG - nope took a IC deff NEG

So I will put up my CD4,5,6 OPK for you all to stalk - as I really don't have a clue anymore - one final thought maybe the perimenapause

1st pic cd4(neg) cd5 (pos old batch)

 

[garfie]

Cd6 pos opk - today ?????

 

[josie1234]

Becks - I am using ones I got off internet, are they IC? I am not sure. I got sent 30 by mistake instead of my opks lol. I did do a Clearblue one about a week or so ago.

Garf - that is defo positive hun. It is frustrating when it is hard to interpret/understand your chart/cycle. Sending positive vibes to you hun, hope this is your month xxx

I don't know if FF is correct in interpreting when I have ov. I have no opks left (obv it being such a long cycle)!! so I don't really know when I ov. I just want to know if AF is coming or a BFP. Come on......not too much to ask. I just want to know. I have had times when I thought AF was coming but no. We will see. Until then, I just keep waiting.

Hope everyone has a good day. What are you up to? I am just making my mum's Christmas cake, I end up making about 6 each year, but each one has different tastes (ie no nuts, no peel etc etc). One thing, I put plenty of brandy in lol. I don't even like Christmas cake but always make one for DH.

 

[garfie]

Josie I really hope you get your bfp - so here's today's opk

 

[Oasis717]

Those ic's are not brill for early testing Jo so def hope for you and I'm so so hoping. You deserve it so much. Keeping absolutely everything (inc legs lol) crossed for you and hope those temps stay up! Xx. X
Fi I wouldn't say he liked the bath lol but def not hated. Belly button is cute as a button now. I just need to get my appetite back as have not really been eating, not sure if the lack if sleep (3/4 hours a night) is responsible but just not feeling v hungry and struggling when I do eat. I can't seem to see your pics Fi xxxx

Hi all.

We are now down in South Wales, bracing ourselves for the storm!

Becks, glad Brooklyns belly button is sorted now. Lack of sleep is not easy and you forget how tired you get. Caitlin did 5 hours in one go last night, but is still really snuffling.

Jo, perhaps those IC you have are a duff batch

Fiona, that looks like a positive to me, time to get busy!

Caitlin has started to move herself backwards by bending her back and pushing down with her feet, getting lots of smiles, but her sad face is just the funniest and cutest thing ever. Been trying to get photo of smile or sad face but no luck with either so far.

 

[josie1234]

Hi all,

Hope you are all ok in the storms, I have been awake since 6, listening to the rain and winds. Yes, maybe you are right, IC's are probably not the most reliable.

Lisa - hope you have a lovely time away and that the weather improves for you. How long are you there for? Caitlin sounds adorable, looking forward to seeing the pics.

Becks - thanks for your kinds words, it means a lot xx. I am glad that Brooklyn's belly button is all better. Just make sure you eat little and often and drink plenty of fluids.

Fiona - FX'd for you, get busy lol.

Creative - how are you doing hun?

Home - any more news from you? Are you testing every day and are the lines getting darker?

I've cancelled my Buggyfit this morning due to the weather. If anyone has a moment, feel free to look at my pages - www.facebook.com/BuggyfitHunts, www.facebook.com/GiJoFitness and www.gijofitness.com. Thanks x

Hi everyone , hope everyone in the UK is keeping warm and safe . Here in Ireland its a beautiful autum day my groin strain is so much better , I can walk now and sleep comfortably which is a relief Baby Bowe is having daily discos I'm also getting lots of tightening on my bump . Not painful but uncomfortable . Its been happening on and off for a few weeks now .

 

[josie1234]

Hi Regina. So glad that the groin strain is better. Weather seems to have calmed a lot since last night/early morning. Have you any bump pics? Would love to see one. Does the tightening happen regularly?

 

[Oasis717]

Good old Braxton hicks Regina! Mine were so painful towards the end but being my 4th I was told they would be! Mine started at 24 weeks, so glad your groin is better what a relief! Xxxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Temps are looking really good Jo xxxxxxx

 

[josie1234]

Do you think so? I am not very patient and this waiting game is driving me

 

[garfie]

Jo - still no news I guess? - I swear by Superdrug tests and I did one this morning - NEG at least you still have hope

Regina - Glad you are feeling much better and if you think the BH are bad wait until the real thing

AFM - I finally plucked up the courage to speak to my Dr - she is ordering tests as she feels that my cycle is a little bit wonky you don't say

So the tests are CD1-CD3, PCOS blood test, CD21, Ruebella????, Hir?????, a full scan to check ovaries, lining, tubes etc and all this can be done locally wtf I had to travel round England last time - which pissed hubby off taking time off work

Also she has requested a sperm test for hubby - everyone else has said it can't be him you have been pregnant before and since it must be you, your age etc (I'm sure you ladies understand)

So now I have to think of a way to sell it to him - also I am going to say until I have all my tests done there is no way we can possibly stop

Wish me luck, he is away tonight so we will have to catch up tomorrow after work.

One thing she did say was that I might have retained products after the DNC - please I hope not

At least she's taken you seriously and started investigations. Fingers crossed about the RP

 

[HomeEdMom]

I need to catch up with everyone. I tested on Saturday and my line looked exactly then same .... And today I tested and it is paler in colour. My temps are not good. I'm beginning to think I wasn't even pg just a few nasty hormones thrown my way to make me feel like crap again. That puts me at CD 42, I've officially had two times where OPKs and moniter has told me I ovulated .... All of which I totally disbelieve now. Thankfully I have a doctor appointment on the 5th novemer.
I just want to get pregnant, have a baby and live happily ever after - is that too much to ask.

[Oasis717]

No it's def not too much to ask xxxxxxx I completely understand and I war in exactly the same position after my second mc in sep, then my tests suddenly went darker in nov and I really thought I was pregnant. Until the lines once again began to fade away but then in jan this year I got a very def bfp and now my little rainbow Prince is here. It does happen it will happen for you please don't loose hope, I know how frustrating it is I really do but I hope us ladies give those that are waiting hope that it can and will happen for us all xxxxxx

Jo I think your temps are looking brill, looking forward to seeing tomorrow's xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi everyone

Jo your temps do look good what a long cycle you are having . Hopefully there will be a rainbow at the end of it for you the "tightening " episodes are happening couple of times a week , maybe more , might go a few days without one and then have one . They seems to go away after resting or sleeping . They feel VERY weird . Not painful just weird !

Becks how is my little prince , I am living vicariously through yours until I have my own how are you feeling ? Do you miss being pregnant ? Are you suffering baby blues ? Or are you too busy falling in love every time you look at Brooklyn ?

Homed a big cyber hug for you , there is a happily ever after for you xxxxxxx What is the doctors appointment for next week , bloods ? Is there any sign of AF ? I wouldn't give up on the BFP just yet xxxx

Hi FIona , I'm so glad your GP is taking you seriously and going to do some tests . Hopefully you will get some helpful answers soon . How does hubby feel about Sperm test ? You can tell him doc said no way you can give up yet at least till you have all the answers xxxxxxxx

Hope I haven't left anyone out , if I have sorry my brain isn't what is used to be I have done some shopping for the nursery over the last few days and am waiting for it all to arrive , then room to be painted etc..... Think its way too soon to put it together as ill drive myself mad so for now ill be staring at boxes for a few weeks lol.........
