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

[Oasis717]

That's great Crystal cd 14! Fingers crossed for a bfp yes it's freezing here as well that could well be it. I think we may buy a humane trap we've put out food for him but he's a clever so and so, he must be having a whale of a time! Xx

Thanks, Becks! I hope for your BFP too....if you want it this month. Our due dates would be within a day of each other.

I bet he is having fun. I hope you catch him soon.

Hi all,

Sparkle, so sorry to hear your story. We have all experienced loss and know what you have been through and how you are feeling.

You have joined a lovely group of supportive ladies here who will be here to offer all the support you need on your journey.

Becks, hope your hamster turns up unharmed, little monkey !

I will be checking all these charts to see what's going on with any prospective bfp's.

Well Caitlin has a lot more spots than Eoin did. They are mainly on her head and face , but so far she doesn't seem unwell.

They are getting really angry looking now so hoping they start to scab over now.

 

[crysshae]

Awww...sweet baby. I'm glad they aren't causing her much discomfort.

 

[Left wonderin]

Awh poor little lady its great to hear she is not too unwell with them and she will soon have them over and done with !

 

[Oasis717]

Aww Lisa poor luv, but I'm so pleased she seems unaware it them and at least it's over and done with, dd 13 was 4 and picked every scab more than once! I tried everything, bribery, telling off, but still she picked and regrets it now as it scarred her ds 5 still hasn't had it yet and he's terrible for picking too so I'm dreading him getting it! Xxx
Thanks Crystal yes I think last month made us realise that it is what we want as I feel like times running out for us to have the family we dreamed of so I'm hoping but I'm not too confident, so much for being super fertile after birth lol xxxx

Thanks for the warm welcome Ladies! I have an appointment on Friday to make sure I don't have any new cysts on my ovaries. I had one in December which delayed the start of my IVF cycle. I am hopeful I will get the green light and will be able to start my meds with my next AF which should come next week. We'll see!

I am not an expert on the OPK discussion, because in IVF, we don't want to ovulate! But, we all want to be fertile with healthy eggs, so here's to a fertile month for us all! Come on Golden eggs!

Hi Ladies

Sorry for the selfish post - I just need to vent

Results are back FSH 10.8 LH 4.1 (showing diminished reserve) okay fair enough but now I look back to my diary 2012 (baby number 2) FSH 10.6 LH 3.3 so why was this never picked up

I think I have come to the end of my journey

Will have one more chat with hubby - FS has discharged me as hubby refused SA

Becks - Your temp is looking better than last month. Looks like your LP should be more normal this time round. Of course a BFP so you won't know how long the LP would have been would be better.

Sparkle - I hope your appointment Friday brings good news.

Fi - Vent away! You are still ovulating regularly though, so that's a good thing. Do you take anything for egg quality? With diminished reserve, quality is the key.

Cry - Nope - only got this great news today

I've been taking Ovaboost since CD3 this time round, and I can see a difference in things already. You might look it up. I have been breaking out on my chin near ovulation for a while now. This month, not one single spot! I'm sleeping better for the most part, and as of now my libido seems to still be intact after O...which I was really struggling with before.

Of course, I'm taking other things as well I've listed before, but I think the myo-inositol in the Ovaboost is making a difference in getting my hormones more balanced.

 

[garfie]

Cry - Are you in the UK? - where can I get it?

[josie1234]

I am taking it too fi. Look at the pos on my chart. I am hoping this is a good sign. Only just started taking it. I have been diagnosed as perimenopausal. Doctors won't refer me. Nothing else they can do. But I am not giving up. My FSH/LH levels were high. A lot higher since last years tests and FSH then was 33. Now in 40s. I am taking ovaboost, ordered it online. Also taking don quai and agnus castus. Xx

 

[crysshae]

I'm in the US in Texas, but I bought mine on Amazon. I know Josie bought it this month too, so it should be readily available over there.

 

[garfie]

Where did you order it from hun?

[josie1234]

Seriously Fi, I was devastated when I heard from the doctors. If I had known last year that my levels were high, then I could have done something about it to improve it. But No! Also the fact that they have just written me off has made me more determined!

Ok, I have spent a small fortune on a lot of tablets and spent hours on internet reading different things but if it works, hey ho.

But as you can see, my cycle is mega long this time but I have only just started taking tablets recently but have noticed such a difference already. Sorry if tmi, but was dry but this is a lot better and the pos opk's are good news (hopefully), another pos today. Worth a try hun. There was also Fertilaid

If all the concoction of tablets don't work this month, I will try wheatgrass and royal jelly on next one.

Thanks Josie - typical out of bloody stock

Oh my goodness, they are price gougers. I wonder if my Amazon prime membership would let me ship it to you as a gift for free..... I know they do here in the states but not sure about overseas.
