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

Makes sense I suppose, as asprin thins blood so could thin womb lining so not good to keep embryo in.

Good info on aspirin Lisa. I believe taking aspirin is very individualized. While it may not be recommended for some diagnosis, it is critical to take in others. For me, it is critical to take due to my diagnosis of blood clotting disorders and my history of preeclampsia. For others, it is not necessary. I guess that is why we all need to do what we are all doing... get tested to see what our issues are. So, Tanya, I guess you will be able to know what to do after you get your tests back. It's a wonder anyone gets/stays pregnant!!!!

 

[Sparkle125]

Some people believe aspirin helps to thicken the lining because it thins the blood and allows more blood to flow to the uterus. It has also been said that it may help with implantation issues because the blood is more free flowing and less sticky which may help with the initial stages of implantation when new blood vessels are forming with the attachment of the embryo to the uterine wall.

Of course, with everything in medicine, you can read something that says one thing, and another article will prove exactly the opposite. It's hard to know what to do sometimes.

I heard from the lab this morning that I have 6 embryos still growing! 4 are doing extremely well and out of those 4, 2 are perfect! So, I am confirmed for a 5 day transfer on Monday at 11:15! So excited and am now hoping that I will transfer 1, and have 3 to freeze! Why not reach for the stars at this point!

Hey ladies hope all ok. Almost took Brooklyn to emergency docs last night his cold is so bad that hes got terrible conjunctivitis in both eyes and they were almost shut they were so swollen. So upsetting but I spoke to a nurse on 111 and they assured me that as long as he can still see ok and didn't have extreme redness in his eyes its normal and to keep bathing them and it would get better which it has slightly today so im pleased as he looked so terrible yest. What is up with my temps? Getting up slightly later never used to result in much higher temps, Caseys back at school tuesday so hopefully back to normal temp timexxxxx

 

[Soanxious]

Thanks Jo I hope you managed some sleep and safe journey x

Aww Becks I hope he is a lot better.. will you be taking him to out of hours today? if its conjunctivitis it will need eyedrops. as its very highly contagious for all family.. Hope your temps get back to normal x

 

[Oasis717]

Hi Tanya no he's so so much better today, the nurse said drops were only needed in severe cases that didnt improve within 48 hours. Yest morn he was absolutely fine and by the eve looked awful! But today he's improved loads already so gunna keep bathing them. The nurse said 90% of cases go on their own cared for at home. His cold is so v bad I hope it goes soon! Thanks im sure once I get up at my usual time ill have more idea. How are you? xxx

 

[Soanxious]

Aww glad he is so much better and recovers from cold soon...

My GD has got a cold too her 1st one.. she is on holiday in Skegness visiting her other Grandparents as they live there.. so 1st time she has seen the sand...and sea..

I have been out all day.. we drove around the coast of south wales.. barry ogmore vale porthcawl nice relaxing day.. plus I needed the time out to take my mind off ttc..

I have decided I wont be testing early.. af due 13/14th so if no sign by then may test. Im not even overthinking symptoms..

I am sooooooooooooooo tired... its been a long day so gonna grab a lazy sunday afternoon nap...whilst OH is at the gym

Here is a photo of my GD... taken today 7 and half months on that baby growth chart you have... babies are normally growth wise between 50/60 she is 98 LOL.. joys of having both parents 6ft3

What's happening with you becks? are you NTNP or TTC? x

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi everyone , Becks poor Brooklyn sounds awful hope he feels better soon . Jo is it a long drive to see oh ? Does he get any time off / holidays in the summer ??

So your drive sounds lovely , its a good idea to get out and about and remind yourself that there actually is a big world out there outside ttc .... Even though it doesn't feel like it sometimes . If you need encouragement not to test if your weakening just ask

 

[josie1234]

Hi Regina - it takes an hour and a half so not too far but as DS was staying at his friends for the night, it was perfect opportunity and it is nice to see him. He was on days so finished at 7 pm and then in work 6 am the next morning so I set off when he went to work as couldn't get back to sleep. Had a couple of hours sleep when I got in.

Becks - hope it doesn't take Brooklyn long to get back to his chirpy self, bless him, glad that the conjunctivitis is easing up.

Lovely photo Tanya, what a cutie. Sounds like the drive was lovely. Yes it is hard trying not to test. I haven't tested for ages. I am definitely not trying anymore, ok I still take temp but I have spent enough on tests and yet again, looks like another long cycle so I am now getting on with my life. I find that I am not getting stressed out any more about tests and things so that is good.

Hope everyone else is ok.

 

[josie1234]

Sorry I forgot to answer, yes he has got some time off in August, he does have leave which he has booked throughout the year so that is good. Unfortunately I have been working when he is off but once I get a job, hopefully that will change and I can just put leave in (whereas now, if I don't work, I don't get paid).
