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

[Left wonderin]

Garfie maybe they will suggest clomid ???? I really have no clue about it but know ladies up.t on it to help with ovulation

Fiona, I can't remember what numbers should be . I had my blood taken 8 days after positive OPK.

Took youngest DS to docs again today, only there last week. He has had a cough for months and it is worse at night , possibly asthma. He coughed all last night and his nursery today said his cough sound worse than usual.

Doc says he has a bit if a rattle and a pink ear, so yet again we have antibiotics. Won't send him to nursery tomorrow as it is catching. Hoping Caitlin doesnt get it. She coughed herself a couple of times tonight and it didn't sound right, so we'll see.

She slept from 9.30-7.30 last night. Tonight she was asleep by 9.15, so I put her in Moses basket upstairs and went and sat back downstairs and watched tv for a bit.

10 weeks today!

Can't wait for Brooklyn to sleep that long lol but he slept from 12.30 til 7.30 although I woke him at 5.30 for a bottle which he drank asleep and stated asleep! He's a bit too young to go that long without a bottle yet. That's the most gorgeous pic what an absolute cutie!!!! Xxxxxx

Ladies

Usually this test is carried out at 7DPO - I tried to explain to the Dr that it was far to early for the test (but you know what docs are like they think every woman O on the 14 day).

So I am pleased with my number - or at least I was - how ironic if I get a BFP this month

Oasis - When my two used to sleep through the night at first I would wake up just to check they were breathing

Lisa - What an absolute adorable picture - she looks so happy

Josie - How are you today hun - not stalked your chart for a while - been trying to keep myself busy with work and rebuilding the factory (not me literally)

Left - I wonder if she will prescribe something or just send me for a barrage of blood tests

Hope the other pregnant/non pregnant ladies are okay - I loose track of you all as I only pop in from time to time

That's a great sleep through!

And that's not bad either!

have to say that they both did better than I did last night!

Ah bless Creative - never mind less than a few weeks left and you will soon have your rainbow this lack of sleep is preparing you for the first early days

Aw Creative, yes you are getting in training for the arrival - how exciting.

Garf - doctors can be frustrating and trying to get timing right is a pain especially when you have an irregular cycle as I do! Fingers crossed that you get some answers and a BFP this cycle, how good would that be? How is the factory coming along? Don't really know what's happening no pos OPK as yet. I slept terrible as yet again I am coming down with a cold. I have terrible trouble with sinuses and when I get a cold it really hits me. I have been feeling rubbish for last couple of days and been popping pills in the hope that it wards it off but I don't think so. I have been awake since 3 am so couldn't take temp. On the plus side, got another Christmas cake baked, that's my 5th one for this Christmas.

Becks - Brooklyn sounds adorable, bet he looks so cute when you were feeding him.

Lisa - hope your DS' cough goes soon. Its a nightmare when they are poorly. Caitlin is a right little smiler, so cute.

Had to take Caitlin to docs as cough not sounding good. They didn't want to give antibiotics but have Amal dros and som lint us for cough. Can give carpool if needed and use olbas oil.

Kept DS off nursery but he's quite happy and his taking his 'banana' medicine.

How's everyone else?

Becks, Brooklyn is sleeping well too.

Wondering about jan (crazymam) her baby is due Friday.

 

[crazymam]

Hello Ladies, sorry for the absence, had a lot of stress that turns out was unwarranted so all is good now. no twinges I am afraid!! Lots of Braxton hicks though.
They gave me a scan at 32 weeks, all was fine, but bloods came back with low platelets and they decided to scan again at 34 weeks. They took my bloods again two weeks later and platelets still low but had gone up. but growth scans showed baby wasn't growing on the scale they wanted Anymore so what followed was weekly scans and monitoring and untold stress for me.they finally decided this week all is well she is just small baby but still within the parameters so will leave me alone now! INduction booked in for two weeks time, so trying everything possible now to speed things up.
How is everyone else?
I must have missed loads, and the babies? How are the little bundle of joys coming along.
I am finally now able to relax at long last, although that will soon go once baby arrives x

 

[Oasis717]

Poor Caitlin we are all ill except Brooklyn and I'm praying he doesn't get it! I keep trying to stifle my cough which is nigh on impossible as I'm scared of coughing after getting stitched, I already have a tiny split in my scar which happened last week and it's v sore. Will go docs if doesn't start to heal soon xxxxxx
Lovely to hear from you Jan, sorry you've had all that worry, I beat the induction hope you do too! Xxxx

 

[dancareoi]

Good to hear from you jan, enjoy the rest !

Caitlin woke last night as she was so bunged up she couldn't breathe.

Gave her medicine for her cough this morning, but it made her sick.

The milk came out like a tidal wave all over her face, she was dripping in milk.

Afm - I am currently feeling very sad all the time. I shouldn't be sad, I have 4 beautiful children, including a beautiful rainbow. It's make favourite time of year too, but I feel dad.

It almost feel like a heavy weight pushing down on me which I can't shake off.

DH is having snip next week and that's not helping at all.

Sorry if tmi but I have no interest whatsoever in DTD either!

I feel bad to feel like this when I have everything I've always want and there's people out there TTC without any luck.

Would it still be hormones at this stage?

Confirmed today, at 7 weeks 1 day at the big sophisticated ultrasound facility - no heartbeat and fetal pole has shrunk slightly. Given that I am 100% sure of my dates, dr. and I made the decision to do the D&C tomorrow. At least then I can start trying again in a few weeks... Thanks all for the good wishes. I have gotten pregnant twice in the last five months despite being 40, and apparently my ovaries are still pumping out eggs, so even if most of them are problematic, I have hope that we'll still catch one that is good.

 

[crazymam]

could still be hormones but could also be lack of sleep, when you don't get enough sleep that too can play havoc with your emotions.

You also need to make sure you are eating well and try and get some exercise, even if its just walks outside with little one.
Its so easy to forget that you need looking after too xx

So sorry for you, but you are still a spring chicken at 40!!! I had a d&c after my first child, I didn't wait and started trying straight away and conceived two weeks later, apparently you are very fertile after one, so fingers crossed for you xx

 

[crazymam]

well todays my due date and not a twinge in sight!!
running out of ideas to get things going now
Going to pop out to the shops and hoping all that walking will set something off, curry planned for this evening followed by some time in the bedroom, he is knackered poor thing. raspberry tea drank this morning, yuk , and have my exercises to do this afternoon, plenty of squats. I have a sneaky feeling she is going to hang in there until my induction date

 

[josie1234]

Crazy - good luck hun, hope baby makes an appearance this weekend. Can't wait to see the pics.

Driving - so sorry hun, hope the D&C went ok and you can start trying again soon. It doesn't heal the hurt but good luck. It is good that you can get pregnant so fingers crossed for you xxxx

Lisa - probably a mixture of hormones and emotions of being a new mum. Hope you are ok, thinking of you. I guess some days are better than others. Yes, exercise is good and also trying to have some time to look after yourself.

No news from me really. Had a cold so been run down. How is everyone else?

 

[Oasis717]

The runs from my gastroenteritis started me off but I wouldn't recommend that lol! Day 3 of my diet and lost 3 lb, probably shouldn't weigh myself already but couldn't help looking! Missing chocolate but missing my size 12 clothes even more. Xxx
Lisa I've been really emotional in the last 4 weeks, I have cried on and off fir no reason really so just taking it it's hormones, I know how hard it must be to come to terms with not having anymore children, I know I find that thought hard and we plan on trying one more time (2 if dh had his way lol) but the thought of having no more makes me sad. Really hoping you feel better soon. Xxxx
Driving I'm so so sorry, thinking of you and you def will catch that good egg. I did third time xxxxx
Jo hope you feel better soon I've been ill for almost 2 weeks now and this cough is terrible. Hope everyone else is ok xxx

 

[Oasis717]

Brooklyn today xxxxx

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Becks - yes, feel like I am getting better then seem to go backwards and nose bunged up again. At least I am sleeping a bit better (I think), just really tired. Haven't done much today, nice easy day which is good. DH back tomorrow but opk's still neg, hopefully in next day or so.

Hope you are feeling better soon Becks, Brooklyn is so adorable. He looks like he has grown a lot.

Have a good day weekend everyone xx

 

[Oasis717]

Yes my ds 5 is like that, seems to get worse not better! Really hoping you do soon. Bet you're looking forward to dh coming home, you must miss him so much. Must get Brooklyn weighed soon he's grown loads, none of the newborn stuff fits him anymore, he was only in it 2 weeks. At 6 5 dh takes a size 11 shoe and Brooklyn has big feet too lol. Xxxxx
