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

[crysshae]

It's not so bad. Of course it means I'm out this month, but it's normal for everyone to have an anovulatory cycle once or even twice a year. I've been charting again since last January, and this is the first one I've noticed, so pretty good. And the very first time I ever charted was the 20-day anovulatory cycle before I got pregnant with DS5. After that, I had one regular cycle where I could see how my normal chart should look and got pregnant the next cycle.

Hopefully a good sign then and get pregnant next time

Crystal: Sorry you are out this cycle, but maybe your past pattern will hold true and you will be celebrating soon!

Jo: Hope you are hanging in there.

Everyone else in the TWW: Let's go girls! I am hoping for some BFPs this cycle!

AFM: I went to the doctor again this morning and THE CYST IS GONE! YAY! I get to start my cycle now! So, I will have AF within the next few days and I will start medication by mouth on Monday. Next, I will start with injectable medication on Wednesday and then go back to the doctor on next Saturday. When I go back to the doctor, they will be monitoring a couple of things.

(IVF education here...if interested) The injectable medication makes my ovaries form lots of follicles. Most follicles house an egg. I have low ovarian reserves, so I will not produce as many as a 20 year old who may get as many as 30-40 eggs in a cycle! I have made between 2-12 in past cycles. They will also be checking the thickness of my uterine lining. The lining needs to get to 7mm by the end of the cycle to have the best chance of the embryo implanting. The cycle will probably last up to 14 days after the start of the injectable medication. They will monitor the size of these follicles as they grow and when the "lead follicle" gets to a certain size, they will schedule my "egg retrieval". I will go to sleep and they will aspirate the follicles and hopefully there will be eggs inside each one. The eggs also have to pass another test and be graded as mature in order to be fertilized. Not all eggs are mature, and not all eggs fertilize, or fertilize normally. I will wait 3 days and will have my "embryo transfer", where they will put the best looking embryo back inside to grow. LOTS of things have to go right in this process. But, here I GO!!! Come on GOLDEN EGG!

Sparkle that sounds so complicated but so exciting!!! fingers crossed it all goes well xxxx

AFM im using a new thermometer(broke last one) but showing another dip.. oh well I dont feel pg this month but thats ok as I was pregnant Jan and feb maybe my body needs a break... xxx Im off out to Weymouth for the day..hope everyone has a good day x

Crystal I am sorry you are out but like you said you got pregnant a couple of months after a cycle like this so that's great news!! Fingers crossed. Xx
Ds 5 has given Brooklyn another cough and cold so the last few nights have been disturbed but I've found it doesn't affect my temp too much so I'm taking the big drop today to be genuine. If I was trying to convince myself I'd say it was an implantation dip which generally happens around 7dpo but I actually just think it's just a random temp. I have no pregnancy symptoms at all just increasingly sore boobs. Def feel out although it's early I know I just haven't got that feeling!! Xxx

 

[Oasis717]

Tanya I feel same as you! Have a lovely day though xxx

 

[josie1234]

Hi all
Yes I am hanging in there Sparkle thanks. Great that the cyst has gone and you are ready to go. You have to go through such a lot hun. Fx for this cycle. Xxxx

Tanya hoping your temp rises.

Crystal - sorry she got you. Hoping this is a sign of good things for you so you get that BFP like before.

Sorry I can't reply on others but I am on my phone and can't scroll back.
Hope you are all ok. Tilly I hope you caught that egg - it is so hard when you are restricted to your time together.

AFM - very crampy. It started yesterday and I thought AF was coming. It is really painful today so think she may be coming. Also got low back pain. No temp drop though. DH went on course yesterday, sleeping in a 24 man room with bunk beds. Got to love the Army. He is only an hour away but not allowed to come home!

 

[josie1234]

Becks - oh hope Brooklyn is better soon. They seem to pick one bug up after another eh? Hope that you are wrong hun. See what next few days bring xx

Tanya - hope you are wrong too. Have a lovely time in Weymouth xx

 

[josie1234]

Can't believe it. AF is here

 

[Oasis717]

Oh no so sorry Jo although at least it's brought an end to a mammoth cycle and hopefully the next one will be shorter and more settled xxx

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Becks. I am actually pleased so this cycle is finished. Had to take some painkillers. Lets hope cycles are shorter lol

 

[tillyttc]

please someone get me a straight jacket and a window to lick cause this tww stuff is driving me mad ! xx

 

[crysshae]

Lol Tilly!

Tanya and Becks - I'm hoping it's an implantation dip for both of you!

Jo - Yay for AF and the end of that crazy cycle. With those temps I thought she was on her way. Hope she doesn't give you too much grief and pain.

Jenn - That's wonderful. Praying everything goes perfectly and you get pregnant with your rainbow!

 

[Left wonderin]

Jo what was that a 101 day cycle ????? Mental . At least you can draw a line under this one and move on to a new cycle Here is hoping its more regular and results in a BFP for you

 

[tillyttc]

Question ladies I have like a dull ache very low down on right hand side any ideas ? Xx

 

[josie1234]

Hi Regina - 102 days in that cycle. Thanks. Hope I am not going to have any more like that! How are you doing?

Tilly - What cycle day are you on hun? Do you know when you ovulated?

Crystal - we are nearly cycle buddies.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[josie1234]

For those in TWW

 

[crysshae]

Yes we are, Jo!

Tilly - It could be your corpus luteum. They can cause some achiness after O.

 

[tillyttc]

I am roughly 4~5 dpo hips are achy to and lower back ache ? Xx

 

[Left wonderin]

Tilly with this baby I got achy hips . Never had them before but they hurt ! Disapeared about a week after I got BFP .
