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

[garfie]

So - Aw bless him - it's awful when they catch a bug it comes on so quickly - but I'm sure with lots of mummy cuddles he will feel fine again

Hope you manage to get a rest today

AFM - I had my acu last night she put needles in the front - to try and stop the false heat (and to try to delay ov) and needles in my back just in case I have already ovulated so the nest is nice and cozy the ones in my back reacted strangely - it sent a message which created marks down some of my spine - saying my body was being attacked which apparently is a good sign - which shows my blood is nice and healthy - of course the needles to bleed was once again were the chinese liver (again to do with the purification of the blood) - so now my head starts to wonder if maybe somewhere down the line I had clotting issues and the aspirin I take since my last m/c is helping?????

Hmmmmm?????

Thanks Fi, he has a bit more colour in him now but is sleeping.

Hey your treatment seems to be working.. lets hope you get some positive signs like a BFP

How long have you been on Aspirin?

 

[garfie]

Hi So

Just under a year hun - I have had the clotting tests (the NHS provide for recurrent m/c) but that month I had them carried out it may have been a fluke but....... - I took aspirin and also got my BFP - so of course the results came back fine (saying no clotting issues) - I have always been a bleeder so hmmmm I did wonder???

Then I was scared in case I had done something to damage that pregnancy so I stopped taking it.

When I went to the midwife last year she mentioned aspirin and asked if I took it I explained the above to her and she said to go straight back on it - and even though I had a chromosomal loss (my little boy) I have stuck with it and take one every day

I certainly feel better in my self and at least I know that I have given this TTC every chance and explored every avenue that I possible could without medical intervention (hubby does not want that at all) the acu is certainly helping my mental state - I am slowly coming to accept it may not happen for us - after all I have gone from being quite fertile to not getting pregnant in a year

Becks - FF is confused by those 2 high temps you had. You'd think it would pay attention to your CM and OPKs though. Isn't that why it tells us to enter all the info.

Tanya - Sorry your son is sick. I hope he gets well very soon.

Jenn - I hope the little ones in your womb are growing perfectly!

Fi - I'm glad you can feel the acu working. I hope it helps you get your sticky BFP!

AF did come early for me. Maybe my cycle is trying to straighten itself out...

Crystal sorry af got you Hopefully your cycles will sort themselves out soon. Its frustrating isnt it. I rwally dont know when I o. I still think Sat as my temps just didnt climb as high as usual after cd 14 but who knows. If I have a 15 day lp according to them i'll know they're wrong! Strangely I have zero af symptoms which is odd as ive had cramping a week before af last two months but this time absolutely zero symptoms. That has me stumped as pmt has been terrible the last two cycles xxx

Hi all,

Crystal - sorry that AF got you, hope your cycles become more regular. It's a nightmare when cycles just don't make sense. Hope next one is lucky for you. I can't remember if you are taking anything.

Becks - good temp rise hun, hopefully the next few days will become clear and bring a BFP. FX.

Tanya - how's your DS, hope he gets better soon.

Fi - I found that the acupuncture helped me mentally as I felt like I was going to explode with the stress and I have now accepted that it may not happen but I am ok with that. I am not sure if I am going to have any more sessions. I am the same, I didn't want to go down the IVF route. What will be, will be. I hope you have a good cycle and good luck hun.

I hope everyone else is ok. Tilly - how are you doing? Looking forward to your updates.

Sparkle - I am not sure if I have missed some of your posts, what is happening with you? Hope you are ok.

I am still stalking each day. I do read your posts but just no updates for me so not been writing on here. DH is home tomorrow morning so I will see him when I finish work. I am due to have my smear Thursday but I may postpone it for week after. Although I accept that things may not happen with ttc, I keep thinking that if I have a smear it might affect things and the timing never seems right. Plus don't want to go day after DH is home (tmi alert), as don't want to be too squidgy!

 

[Soanxious]

Crystal sorry the got you. She is an evil thing.

Becks I am confused this month myself. im Just hoping next cycle is more "normal and straightforward"

My OH has now come down with tummy bug, im hoping it stays well away from me. I had enough illness last week Im just constantly spraying everything with zoflora dettol and washing everything in antibacterial lol... everyone has own towel im wandering around with rubber gloves on lol.

 

[Left wonderin]

LO so wen tummy bugs strike here everything gets blitz , door handles , the remote control , light switches anything communal lol ... I have a vision of you in the gloves with spray ready for action ! A germ fighting superhero lol

 

[Soanxious]

Jo delaying the smear for a week sounds fair.. happy TMI ing hahaha!!!!

My son is a lot better but still poorly, he has managed some toast, a tomato and some rice.

Regina I have made up 4 spray bottles all fresh with zoflora cinnimon so house smells of christmas, I have one in bathroom upstairs, one in loo downstairs one in kitchen and one that goes everywhere in between, Only im touching the remote and only im allowed out the kitchen.. done all handles and bannister/handrails window handles etc.. im a germ assassinater! lol I also have ants.. ARGHHH moved here December so obviously wasnt aware we had a nest close by patio doors, so now been spraying all door frame floor etc and planting ant traps... im on one hell of a killing mission today. haha

Hi all, hope everyone is doing ok. Just trying to catch up.

Jenn, lots of baby dust your way

Becks, I agree with you, OV dAte was Saturday.

Talking of mess, Caitlin had a purée of pasta, dolmio sauce, cheese and milk, she loves it.

An hour after eating she was on my lap, did a big burp and pewked up her lunch. Bright orange all over her and on my beige carpet !

Oh bless her, I used a product called Elbow grease it seems to get all greasy stains out of everything, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Elbow-Grea...8&qid=1396994654&sr=8-1&keywords=elbow+grease

Thanks for the positive thoughts everyone! I am the equivalent of 9DPO today. This is the day last time that I got a super faint positive in the evening. I am not sure when I am going to start testing this time. I am nervous to get a negative, even though I know it is very early. But, once you start testing, it is a slippery slope. YIKES!!!!

Also, I still have this relentless cough! It is exhausting! Because I am hoping for good news, I can't take anything but tylenol and that is not exactly doing the trick. I really hope I feel better tomorrow. UGH!!!

To test, or not to test, that is the question.......

 

[Soanxious]

Well if you have tests and wee then I would LOL.. >>poas addict<<

FX for you hun... xx

[Oasis717]

Yes im afraid I'd have to test too! In fact ive already started lol. Fell asleep yet again in front of the Tele and just woke up. So tired. Xxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Ok so now I have dotted crosshairs? I still think o was cd 17 so im taking it as im 4dpo xxx

 

[Soanxious]

WOW look at your Temps Becks!! x

 

[Oasis717]

I know v diff to last two cycles hey? Xxx

 

[Soanxious]

Yeah definitely FX its because your pregnant x

 

[Oasis717]

Ive changed the ovulation detector settings on ff cause I think my coverline was way too low and I dont agree with cd 14. The opk was only just positive then and was neg within hours plus the other opks after were super dark and I had too much ewmc too. Countdown to pregnancy gives me cd 18 as well so know im just 3dpo! Hmmm xxx
