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

[crysshae]

I'm doing well as I can be between constant "knickers check" as y'all call it and symptom searching when it feels like they go away.

My last FRER was darker today...and the control was lighter. So that's good.

Hi all, yes Crystal it is a constant watch and check/symptom spot.

Becks - hope you are feeling better. Think we are cycle buddies/if not close.

How is everyone else doing? Still stalking.

 

[crysshae]

Hey Ladies!

Exciting to see everyone is gearing up for a new cycle! FX for everyone!

Tanya: I did the pineapple thing with all of my IVF cycles, including this past one. Worked for me! The core is awful, but I have done it so many times I am used to it. If you just can't stand it, put it in a smoothie.

AFM: I had some spotting last night. It was very short...red/rust and then brown and now nothing. For some reason, I am not worried about it. My nurse said it was cervical irritation from the vaginal progesterone and estradiol I am on. I am literally shoving something up there 4 times a day. I can see how it is irritating! And, I am also on a blood thinner, so every teeny tiny thing is magnified. I'm fine. Other than that, tired, going to the bathroom a million times a day, and my boobs are sore. All good signs! FX for ultrasound. Wednesday can't come soon enough!

 

[Oasis717]

Lol Jo almost the same again today def spooky!! Xxx
Sparkle im sure they are right. They are the experts I know its hard not to worry but im positive all is ok xxxx
Tomorrow is a hard date. Its the anniversary of when I lost my first lo. It really brings it all back. This time 2 years ago I was happy as id just heard them move a couple of days ago at the mw and I thought all was ok. I was 3 months and thought i was going to be ok. Finding it hard today xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Defo spooky Becks!! Big hugs hun. Our anniversary today 6 years. Had scan this day 2 years ago when we found there was no heartbeat. It is not as hard but will never forget. Hope you are ok Becks. Have you anything planned tomorrow. We are off to Nottingham and staying in hotel. Go for something to eat and drink tonight.

Sparkle - hope you are ok and I am sure you have nothing to worry about. Xx

Hope everyone else is having a nice weekend. Fi - how's your cycle going?

Interesting about the pineapple Tanya. Lol at Lisa ' s comment. So funny

 

[crysshae]

Jenn - I'm glad you're not worried. It probably is all that stuff you're having to do. Would make anyone's cervix sore.

Jo and Becks -

Congratulations on 6 years Jo!

 

[dancareoi]

Becks and jo, big hugs xx

It's nearly 5 years since I lost my first LO. You never stop thinking about them.

Even though I am lucky to have Caitlin, I still get very sad when I think of the one LO I gave birth to in jan 2012, she (we think) would have been 2 this month.

As my signature says, I will never hold you in my arms, but will forever hold you in my heart.

Big hugs and kisses to all of you and your lost LOs xxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Thank you all so much. Your continued support means ever such a lot and I wish none of us had been through what we have but to have such lovely ladies that understand really helps. We are going to buy a rose tomorrow for the garden in rememberence. And dhs mum and nan are coming over. I never want our angel to be forgotten. I know im so v lucky to have Brooklyn but I will never stop loving my little one lost xxxx
Also poor Casey has chicken pox I think. Headache. Off colour. Sore throat and two blisters on his belly. He's not been himself at all. Dreading Brooklyn catching it so young. Xxx

Spoken to lots of women that have taken for ivf and ttc naturally.. and its worked.. so giving it a go.. will make a smoothie too be easier. thank you! Yes Confuzion had the same slight bleed from progesterone.. she now puts the pessary in lower not so close to cervix xx

Aww lovely you have the family over to support you.. and aww but best they get it younger.. my eldest 2 had it young.. but my youngest son never had chicken pox!! I put him in a room with 2 siblings that had it when he was 2 and he still didnt get it!! didnt want him to get it as an adult.

Hi everyone.. sorry I have had a manic weekend.. been busy out n about.. I do post in between on my journal if I dont have time I do try n keep up.. im just off out for a Toby Carvery so cant stay long..

I went out last night... got tipsy (had a bit of a down week at beginning of week)... im CD11 and my opk is getting darker so im on track to getting my pos opk cd 12/13 as normal..I was worried as I took soy iso and sometimes it brings it sooner..

It's a scorcher of a day and we are off for a drive in the car after food...

I am try to bd as much as I can but as its so nice out we are spending less time in and cant BD outside as its illegal apparently

Don't know what I will do if I dont catch this egg

Anyways a quick hello..will pop by tonight or tomorrow for deffo..

Take care all xxxx

Looks like ya have a bit to go before ov so not yet positive ! But soon in the next couple of days I'd say .

Hugs to you Becks at this time its tough and you never forget xxx I too have an annevarsary coming up at the start of July . My LO would have been having their first birthday . We called them Poppy as I told oh about the pregnancy by placing a poppy seed ( off a bagel) on his finger and saying that is the size of your baby right now .
So Poppy stuck . I'm not sure if you can buy poppy plants in the garden centres but am going to try get one or some flower that will bloom in July each year .

I read this and thought it was lovely

Before you existed - you were wanted
Before you were born - you were loved
Before you were an hour old - I would die for you
This is the miricle of unconditional love

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks ladies, Regina that's beautiful, shed a tear reading that. Yes anniversarys are v hard xxxx
Another heavy period but they are for 2 to 3 days am hoping it's a good sign rather than a barely there af. Just read the pineapple info Tanya, so easy will def give that a go! Xxx

 

[Oasis717]

Oh and its def chickenpox many more today! Xxx

 

[Oasis717]

Regina are you ttc? That's a big dip at 6dpo!!!!!xxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Not this cycle ! Have to have smear test tommrow as before I got pg in 2012 had abnormal cells detected . Then fell pg twice and was unable to go for a follow up . So want to get it checked out before ttc just to be on the safe side . Dr said its nothing to worry about but never the less I'd better have a follow up its almost 2 years later !! So dip means nada as we were preventing until I have smear and results . Still waiting for my Opk to arrive . Ordered almost 2 weeks ago errrrr

 

[dancareoi]

Becks, you'll probably remember that Caitlin had chicken pox when she was 5 months, I was worried her getting it that young but she was fine and now its all over and done with.

I think my first AF since Caitlin born maybe on way (not that it matters to us now) as last couple of days I have had ewcm ( perfect looking for TTC !)

Still BF but less than a few months ago, so that's probably why Af could be on way! Dreading it as it will probably be really heavy. 18 months since I last had one!

This will be the first cycle in over 2 years that I won't be temping or poas! I feel left out! You never know, DH snip may have knitted back together! 1 in 2000 don't work, you never know!!!!!

 

[Oasis717]

Aw thanks Lisa that made me feel better hopefully Brooklyn will be ok too. Hoping your af wont be too heavy when it comes! Xxxx
