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

[Oasis717]

It's funny you should say that Regina cause I'm all over the place with hormones, been feelin v sad today that my dad never got to see or hold Brooklyn, desperately trying to stay above the hormones but it's v hard! One min I'm fine the next I'm not but ever since Brooklyn was put in my arms I've had the overwhelming desire to do it all again. I think we shall wait 8 months and then see if we are lucky enough to be blessed again. I do miss being pregnant loads, it was only the last 3 weeks that were hard, I loved everything else and I really miss the kicks and moves although I absolutely love being able to hold him and kiss him. He adores kisses and if you kiss his head over and over he goes to sleep. He gave me about 8 little smiles this aft when I was talking to him in the sing song voice he loves. He's been asleep practically all day again! I had about 15 mins before he fell asleep again! I can't wait for you to have your lo and see the pics. It's so so exciting. It's daft cause I'm already getting excited about ttc and tests etc and I've got an 8 month wait yet! Xxxx.

Lovely Becks, he's such a cutie.

I've been trying to catch Caitlin smiling, haven't quite managed a good one yet

Caitlin you are so so adorable , I'd say you did a good job in capturing it in that photo Dance . Showed her to OH and he just melted !!!

 

[Oasis717]

Lol it is hard the smiles so quick! Beautiful pic of Caitlin xxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Beautiful pics. Bet your heart melts every time you look at them.

Temp dip this morning. Think AF coming today. A bit there but not a lot. More like spotting when I wipe.

At least if Af comes you know where you are.

Caitlin is 8 weeks today.



Taken today.

Taken yesterday. Hat and cardy knitted by my mom. Hat is a bit on the big side!




How is everyone else doing?

 

[Oasis717]

Can't believe she's 8 weeks already! Lovely pics I can't believe Brooklyn will be 2 weeks old on Friday! Lisa can I ask how long you bled for after birth? Just a bit concerned that mine is still heavyish and red at 11 days after when everything ivd read says it shouldn't be red now xxx.

 

[dancareoi]

It was about 5 weeks, the last week or so it would stop for a couple of days then start again, always a dark red colour.

Awh Lisa she is so pretty in pink and your mum is some knitter !!!!!

It is likely to be heavier if you are breast feeding, so now you have stopped it should ease off a bit.
I was BF and bled for 6 weeks on and off red heavy and then somedays brown. As long as it's not foul smelling and you havn't got a temperature you should be ok. Just make sure you are not filling a maternity pad to saturation in an hour. As always, if in doubt talk to the doctor.
second and subsequant pregnancies bleed more PP.

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks ladies not filling a pad or have a temp but have had this pain when I press in my pelvic area and it's there on standing up, bending etc. had it over a week now so will mention it to mw at postnatal app xxxxx

Lisa - How cute does Caitlin look - a proper princess

Becks - Sounds like you have a small infection going on in there - is it left/right hand side?

Josie - Did she get you? bet you are pleased this cycle is over eh hun

AFM - We are trying to get the factory up and running again (after the fire in February) so I have been so busy anyway looking at todays temp I think I may be dead

Hoping my cycle sorts itself out soon

No it's right in the middle it's been there a week it started when I was getting up and down holding Brooklyn, then I started pulling myself up rather than using my stomach muscles cause it started to hurt, I just thought I'd pulled something but it's still hurting. Will tell the mw when I see her. Blood loss has really slowed down today and I have no other symptoms of infection but something is wrong cause it shouldn't hurt still I don't think. Anyway dh and Casey have been decorating the front room for out Halloween party tomorrow. Just having family, Casey is SO excited!! Xxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Xx

 

[garfie]

Becks - Could it just be a pulled muscle - they can really hurt - but I agree it won't hurt to speak to M/W.

Aw I remember when we decorated the house for the boys (me n my sis) they loved it and I made all the yummy food for a party - witches sick, slime, worms yeuch

Nowadays the boys go Halloweening and are not interested in a house party

Have fun

[Oasis717]

Thanks Fi, I'm really hoping it's not an infection it only hurts if I move or push there. Strange. If it was an infection you'd think it would hurt all the time? I dunno. Hope not. Yes Caseys so excited we're making brain jelly with eyeballs in the morning lol. I think he loves Halloween almost as much as Xmas! It's his 5th birthday on Tuesday too so he can't wait for that either! Xxxxx

 

[josie1234]

Becks - hope you get it sorted and it is not an infection. The decorations look fab, DH has said that he is not decorating, DS is now 13 so don't think he is too interested.

Garf - hope your cycle settles soon, hopefully it can only go up. Yes, AF came but to be honest was relieved as just wanted cycle to start again as didn't have a clue what was happening. Longest cycle ever, don't know whether to see doctor again or just wait and see what next cycle is like. Best I get ordering some opks.

How is everyone else?

I am so tired, will not get a day off this week as working few extra shifts in gym reception and do my first shift covering as Fitness Consultant in gym on Friday, slightly nervous but excited....apart from the fact I have to be there at 6.15 am!!!! Oh blimey, I am not a morning person but when I do get pg, I will have to get used to it. Notice, the PMA!!!!!
