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

[Oasis717]

Well I'm out but I knew that! They say it can take up to 6 months for your cycles to settle after AF returns and that last chart was the best lp and temperatures yet, am wondering as its now been 6 cycles whether that's happening, or I could be clutching at straws! Xxx

 

[josie1234]

Sorry to hear that Becks. Hopefully cycles are now sorted and this new cycle is the one for you to get your rainbow. LP is better though.

How is everyone else? Hoping I get some answers in a couple of days, either AF or BFP just don't want another long cycle

 

[Oasis717]

Great your temp went back up Jo, thanks I really hope so xxxx

 

[josie1234]

I hope so too for you hun. Have a good day everyone. DH goes back today so we are out for brunch, very nice. Sat outside Frankie and Benny's listening to the old music. Top tunes

 

[crysshae]

Sorry Becks. Hope this is your cycle getting back to normal and next month you catch a healthy egg.

Jo - Glad to see your temp went back up. I hope you get a healthy BFP, but if not I think your cycle will be normal because you ovulated earlier this time. Your other charts seemed to be long because you didn't ovulate until really late.

Good luck Mrs Diaz.

Thanks Crystal xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Crystal - yes hopefully you are right. How are you today? Feeling okay?

 

[crysshae]

I'm feeling well, thank you. Tired, nauseated when I don't eat often enough, can't complain.

 

[Oasis717]

All good then Crystal lol, symptoms are reassuringxx

 

[crysshae]

Lol yep. I have a really strong gag reflex this time too. In my other pregnancies gross things made me gag. This time gross things do maybe a little worse but I also gag brushing my teeth and rinsing my mouth. Strange.

 

[Oasis717]

Ooo strange just goes to prove each pregnancy is different! Xx

 

[MrsDiaz]

hello ladies well Im planning to test tomorrow which Af is suppose to come, but hopefully not. I been very sleepy and I yaw every 2 minutes, thats what happen in my last pregnancy and I been eating like a cow and I been having some cramps, I really hope this is it for me. >.< hows everyone?

 

[Oasis717]

Good luck Mrs Diaz! Xxx

So ladies I had blood tests on June 25th they were as follows:-

HCG - under 1 cry

LH 9.7

FSH 13.7

Estradiol 458

As I haven't had a period yet since my last mc I asked for some more tests the results are:

HCG 1 cry

LH 3.1

FSH 6.8

Estradiol 261

So what am I to take from these readings - is she on the way? have I got PCOS? Oh wow now I'm confused I was expecting the levels to go up (43 soon) not down - I'm on CD77!

[MrsDiaz]

Im sorry to hear that :/...as for me...well i tested and I believe it was another negative and af is due today! but hope not, funny thing is my periods are painful, especially after my DnC but it hasn't been that painful this now they come and go.....another interesting thing is I started to have stuffy and runny nose yesterday, I'm very congested now and I been having headaches. Thats what happened to me with my last pregnancy. It felt like a small cold. My body is giving me all these symptoms but the tests are telling me Im not. Today is 14 dpo, my last pregnancy I didn't get a bfp until 23 dpo. UGH!!!!!!!

 

[josie1234]

Good luck for tomorrow and testing Mrs Diaz.

Fi - I am really not sure on hormone levels and what they mean but I know when I had acupuncture, the acupuncturist was really annoyed that the doctor had done the blood tests at the wrong time of the cycle as this means that the results are inaccurate. What day of the cycle did you get tested? I have enclosed this link but not sure on the information in it; like everything on internet not sure how accurate things are. You should ask the doctor for an explanation of the results. Are you able to get referred? I know I was not allowed to on NHS due to being too old (nice to know that - thanks). The acupuncturist did mentioned AMH as this test can be done at any time of the cycle. But she said NHS wouldn't do it, it would have to be done private (I think). I will try to find a link on what it means! I hope you get some answers and at least get directed to someone that can give you answers as it is frustrating trying to understand what it all means. I know my levels were high which showed I am peri-menopausal.

As for me, got a feeling AF is on her way due to temp dip. Yet again, taxi for my DS tonight, need to get him a bike! Bored!

 

[josie1234]

Did they not test for progesterone Fi?

 

[Oasis717]

Sorry Fi wish I could help but I know nothing of levels xxx
Ladies I hate this heat its awful xxx

 

[josie1234]

Fi - from what I read on this, the AMH levels will show whether you have PCOS or not.

Yes Becks - the heat is awful. Had storm here last night so thought it would clear it but no 34 degrees today.
