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

[Oasis717]

Great temps Crystal! Thanks me too, I've got another coming tomorrow though just in case xxx

Hi all, been very busy but have been stalking.

So - I agree, if you ask for bloods, under the circumstances I am sure the doctor will do them for you.

Thanks Crystal, I am not too bad, busy at work today (gym reception) so I have got a headache. No symptoms to speak of. Blimey that's some temp rise hun.

That feather is definitely a sign.

 

[Oasis717]

I used to take my temperature when I was pregnant during the day, probably shouldn't of lol but it was always around 97.9 to 98.2, my temp was 97.9 3 times on this thermometer so I'm hoping the thermometer is ok and the high (for me) day temp means I have ovulated xxx

 

[josie1234]

I sometimes wonder whether to keep taking temps but at the moment I will just crack on. I have had moments where I have had a panic on because I can't find the thermometer which I normally leave on the bedside table!

I can't even remember how I got the link to FF on my signature. Do I need to go on FF first or go into my profile on here?? Trying to change it so I get my chart up on my signature (not the link).

Mind you, is there enough room for my chart lol. Hope my cycle is not too much longer!

 

[josie1234]

Fi - are you on a new cycle? I really hope that this feather is a sign, I think so.

 

[josie1234]

Hope the pic makes you smile. It is to remind me. PMA all the way!

 

[Soanxious]

Fi - I'm sorry AF got you.

Becks - Hope that means your thermometer is working right.

Jo - How ya feeling?

So - I agree with the others. I would ask for blood tests too.

I was doing temps till I moved home wish I had found my thermometer in the move and kept it up...

I am going to ask tomorrow if I can have my bloods done thanks all xx

 

[Soanxious]

So anxious I am uk and once I'd experienced losses my doctor was only too happy to test my blood for hcg and progesterone levels, it's not routine no but if you ask I'm sure under the circumstances your doctor would be happy to, he only has to fill out a form, I would ask if it were me xxx

Thankyou, im going to ring to see a gp in the morning and ask for a blood test. Thanks. im just so upset, I had to go to my counselling session today that I have been going to since I MC last Oct, so its all be very emotionally draining, it didnt help I moved house 10 days before christmas and I have a lot going on here too, just really want this baby.. but im 41 now and times going too fast for me xxx

 

[josie1234]

So - I understand how you feel. I am 43 so I do feel that time is running out but I can't give up, although I have felt like it a few times. It's hard not to think about ttc, wish I could carry on and not even think about it. But this thread shows there is hope.

Good luck with getting your bloods done xx

Its horrible, when you're older you appreciate family more and want them but they are so hard to have

I've changed my about me to (pregnant)expecting because even if it was only here a little while it was here xx

Go to FF and click on Sharing. Then click Get Code. Then copy the Chart Thumbnail under BBCode. Should be plenty of room.


So - I hope you get wonderful news from the doctor.

Evening all.

Fi, sorry the witch for you. PMA for a BFP this cycle.

Jo, still not out

Becks, will you be testing 7dpo again!

So, these are very worrying times for you. I was a wreck with my tests. I did Tesco and Boots ones. I also did clearblue digi with the weeks.

Gave myself a real scare though as I did one at 1-2 weeks, tested again a few days later and got 2-3. Next time I expected 3+ and got 2-3 again. I went into panic mode, went straight out and bought some more and tried to hold my wee and tested again and got a 3+. I stopped testing then and stopped taking temp, it was too much of a worry.

Any chance of posting pics so we can all have a look and see what we think ?

Like the others say, if you are concerned, speak to your doc and ask for hcg levels to be checked.

 

[Left wonderin]

So I also wouldn't worry about your boobs not being sore and heavy . I was on total boob watch as other BFP was the 1st sign but this time not a sore boob in sight till about 8-9 weeks !! Not having them ment nothing

I so hope its just a bad test.. this is yesterdays test and todays test. The lighter test from today photo was taken hour and half if not more after testing so faded more than it was after initial test plus it had a bit of condensation on it. my LMP was 17th dec xxxx

Can I just say thanks to everyone for kind support xx

They are painful when I touch them but not as big and painful as last time. im so hoping its just because my LMP was 17th dec xxx

 

[Oasis717]

So I had completely different symptoms this pregnancy, I totally convinced myself it was all over again because my boobs weren't as painful as with ds 5 and my nausea was nowhere near as bad as with ds 5 pregnancy either but Brooklyn is perfect, his pregnancy was my easiest of the seven I've had and in the early days I really thought that meant it was bad but nope, he is just fine! So try to stay positive until you know otherwise, I know it's hard hunni I really do but thinking the worst changes nothing so you may as well think the best hopefully the doc will order a blood test to put your mind at rest xxx.
Lisa I was testing at 4dpo with Brooklyn lol, got my faint line at 6dpo on an ic! I felt implantation too, I knew I was pregnant before the test went positive. I'll start testing as soon as ff gives me ovulation day just cause I love to poas lol xx.

 

[josie1234]

Morning, I am awake early as very crampy. Think AF is coming. Was same last night, laid in bed early as very tired, felt sick, watery mouth (?) and headache. Think she is coming today. If ov was when I thought, today will be 13 DPO.

So - good luck when you go to the docs. I can see a second line hun. I agree with the others, try to stay positive hun.

Becks - lol at u POAS comment. You are lucky you got line so early. Look forward to the updates.

Lisa - how are you? Is Caitlin doing ok? Her snuffles all gone?

Fi - hoping this cycle is the lucky one for you. Xx

How is everyone else?

Feel bad as DH wants to skype every night but sometimes I just can't be bothered. I am always so tired with rushing around with my different shifts. Sometimes I am fed up as I am keeping things going here trying to keep on top of everything and sometimes feel resentful that he has got it easy living in a block so all he has to do is go to work and then chill in his room.

 

[Oasis717]

That's perfectly natural to feel like that Jo, you've got a lot on your shoulders plus ttc and it can be quite stressful sometimes I'm sure. You're so busy I'm not surprised sometimes you feel that way. It must be a v hard life sometimes. I don't want you to have af I want you to have a bfp xxxxx.

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Becks. He says its hard living in block not being home. Also the travelling is getting to him too.

I fell back to sleep at 5 and then alarm went off at 6.30 so took temp again. It was 36.3. At 3 it was336.0. Cramps not so bad now.

 

[garfie]

Aw Josie - I feel for you I really do - can you not get a married quarter - or would you prefer to stay away from camp

Becks - I remember your squinter - and now he's here - and now you're trying for another

So - How are things this morning - have you managed to get an appointment at the docs?

Lisa - Hope Caitlin is over her sniffles

Cry - How are things with you hun

Regina - not long now

AFM - As you can see she got me yesterday - so I guess that means I will be going to the gym next week after feeling positive yesterday that the feather was a sign I'm back to feeling negative - hubby said he would give up smoking in the New Year - well I just found 4 more pouches of tobacco this morning - he has no intentions of giving up I'm the one who is trying to get into shape, eat healthier, take supplements and at the moment I feel like he isn't making any effort - not quitting smoking not going for test etc ah ignore me probably just feeling sorry for myself maybe I should go and do some retail therapy
