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

[josie1234]

Hi all sorry I have not been on much, I have still been reading though. Thanks for thinking of me still. Yes, still super busy, work in gym today 8-3 and then 3 classes 6-9. Tomorrow is not as bad, 2 pt sessions one in morning, one just after lunch, bootcamp at 6.30 and then pt session on night. Friday - not so bad, 3 classes. My tattoo is ok thank, all healed, didn't scab but still got a few finishing touches (free, thank god!), hubby wants one for his birthday in December.

Lisa - must be awful to see the business go downhill but one good thing, at least you are not there any more. So frustrating though.

Crystal - hope you are resting. How are you feeling?

Regina - good luck hun, did you not know, 42 is the new 22. ha ha, I am so funny. If only!

Becks - fingers crossed hun. Keep away from those IC's!!!

How is everyone else?

Another long cycle, grr. Hate them. Watery CM today and yesterday. OH had to go back 2 days early for meeting. They also keep putting him on courses, seriously annoying!! You would think being ex-forces, I would understand but nope. Arseholes lol. Good job I am not seriously ttc otherwise I would be fuming and going to the divorce courts I think ;-) Last time he was home there was not much BD'ing as 1. I am so knackered and 2. he was run down and got outbreak of cold sores on his lips, attractive lol.

I know Jo i should have learnt by now! Feeling out tonight, oh well xxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

I'm out ladies bright red again when I went to the loo, am taking forms to docs today to change as last three months my lining has broken down far too early and I admit I need some help now xx

 

[josie1234]

I hope you get some answers Becks and probably best changing doctors. I feel that we do not get much support really, like banging our heads against a brick wall sometimes. All we want is answers, not feel like we are being fobbed off just because of our age. I am in a strange mood today, feeling a bit emotional, don't know why. Probably overtired. DS is sleeping out at mates next 2 nights so its just me. Should try and get an early night but I always say that. Hope everyone else is ok xx

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Jo, dh is pretty down about it as now Brooklyn is one he was really wanting us to get pregnant and if there was nothing wrong you have hope but I've read shorter lp and spotting can be a sign of perimenopause, ever since my last cp in July I've had spotting early and short lp. Just hope something can be done, sorry you're feeling off, me too, we are having a Halloween party tomorrow so trying to distract myself with decorating the house, Brooklyn loves all the spiders! Xx

 

[josie1234]

Aw Becks it's tough. I am peri menopausal but can't remember if my LP was short. All I know is my cycles are all over the place and don't know if I o. From the look of things you do o and get pregnant so you should get to see doctor and see if you can help things along. They could tell me I was peri menopausal due to my low numbers on my tests. Get some tests done hun ASAP to get some answers. Good luck xxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Jo will def be asking for blood tests and am really hoping they can help xx

 

[dancareoi]

Becks have you tried vitamin B6. Needs to be 50mg tablet. Most in shops are only 10mg.

Can buy online from a place based in Jersey called Healthspan.

That should sort your LP

Just popping by

Hi everyone

Becks - So did she arrive or is she still away? (please be away and a weird case of implantation)

AFM - If I go by my previous cycles (19 days) I'm due today/tomorrow - so a very short lp 7/8

Also rememberence Sunday is coming up and that was when I got my positive test last year - I can remember standing at the dock (a small pond in the village) they were lowering the flag and as I looked up I thought OMG I feel pregnant so I took a test and bam there it was - this was the strongest test I have ever had (my little boy) and since then I have gone on to have two further miscarriages - go figure

Anyway I will try not to be down - as rememberence day isn't really about my loss but lots of losses.

For halloween I will get some treats ready - just in case we have one or two knocking at the door (village life is very quiet). My youngest is out tonight and the eldest doesn't like halloween so we had more fun making pumpkin soup and roasting the nuts

Well for all you ladies still trying I hope you don't have a witch flying in (me included) an lp of 7/8 is just no good at all

Happy Halloween Ladies

Hi all , I'm sorry about the spotting Becks that's a couple of cycles now right ? A trip to the doc might be no harm or b6

Jo you are one busy women lol!!!
Fi good to hear from you , hope your doing ok and those adorable boys of yours are keeping out of trouble

Sparkle and Tilly we want an update on those bumps pleeeeeeease ...... Labour watch is not toooooo far away

AFM ... Loosing my PMA ! For now anyway lol.... 3 DPO and tbh it all feels like a chore right now !!! A Caribbean cruise is needed anyone coming ?

 

[tillyttc]

Iam still here 28 days to go lol going for a scan on Monday and to the dau after ! I stalk this thread everyday keeping my fingers crossed those bfp's will come. Xxx

 

[Oasis717]

Tilly wishing you so much luck, not long to go!! Xx
Regina this is the 3rd cycle with early bright red spotting, either my cp in July messed me up or some things wrong, as soon as I'm on the system at the new docs I'll make an app, I've lost all my PMA xxxx

 

[Sparkle125]

Hope everyone is well! Becks, I hope when you go to the doctor, you find a simple solution and that your BFP is right around the corner.

AFM: I am 24w3d which is one day longer than I had Luke since he was delivered at 24w2d. So far, so good. My blood pressure is still good and I am feeling good as well. I am starting to think about making decisions for the nursery and even made my first purchase, my glider and ottoman! I am getting excited! Praying my blood pressure stays low and he continues to grow. On Monday he was 1lb. 6 ozs. I am also narrowing down on names....Reid is the front-runner at the moment.

 

[crysshae]

Becks - the B6 is a good start on your LP. I bought mine on Amazon. I hope you see a dark BFP soon.

Regina - I hope you do too. And that you both find your PMA again.

Fi - You still had a good LP on those short cycles with early ov so hopefully it will stay that way with later O.

Tilly - not long now!

Jenn - I'm glad you're doing so well!

AFM - Saw the specialist yesterday. No previa. Praise the Lord! And it's definitely a boy. Got a perfectly clear shot. Little ratfink still wouldn't cooperate for profile pictures or anything. Lol. He has a perfect spine. Haha.

 

[Oasis717]

Oh Crystal a little boy how wonderful and I'm so very pleased all is OK, fantastic news. I must get some b6 I just keep forgetting! Xx
Sparkle you must be so v relieved I'm so pleased for you, you are doing amazingly and I'm so glad all is well xxxx

 

[Soanxious]

Glad these Bumps are really growing and they will soon be your rainbows xx

Becks I hope you manage to get this sorted... your new Dr will be able to advise you im sure, and hopefully the B vitamins will help put an alarm in your phone to pick them up Monday morning

Hope everyone is well this weekend...

AFM I start a new training position for 8 weeks with the NHS this monday... im so excited!! plus im doing the clearblue trail.. im busy busy busy x

 

[Oasis717]

I'm doing the trial too Tanya I've sent my forms back and they're calling next week this spotting is odd, 9 dpo and 10 dpo but just beige cm today, I really can't find any information on Google as to whether an embryo can implant with spotting going on, I know a lot of pregnant women spot or get implantation bleeding so you would think so but I read an article that said if the lining breaks down too early its like pulling a rug out from under the baby before it can implant, my hormones confuse me, last cycle my boobs barely hurt and it was gone by 9 dpo this cycle they've killed and still hurt now, I think I'm all over the place. Glad you didn't go Tanya xxx

 

[Soanxious]

I hope its just a little blip... and that your going to get your BFP

Yeah the trail started 1st cycle, I had 20 ov tests with a digital thingy to put them in and lots of pots to wee in and I have to send them back at 14 days... I start my ov tests at 8dpo I also got 3 hpt.
The people on the trail (staff) are nice, when they ring after paperwork to do the phone interview thing x

 

[Oasis717]

They lost my first consent forms! That's why its taken so long they've had to send me another set but they've got them this time lol. Thanks, I hope it helps us both, no AF today and it was here at 11dpo last cycle so I dunno what's going on, feel v much like its on its way though xxx
