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

[Oasis717]

No I don't know her name on fb xxx Regina I've only got half as dark lines on opks so far, I think either the b6 or my sinus infection has played havoc with my temps! I read that magnesium, zinc, b6 and 750mg all work in the same way as agnus castus so I got them as I thought the zinc and vit c could help me get better. I bet you can't wait to get going! I feel like its forever til I o but I def feel much more relaxed, I honestly think I've accepted a little that maybe I won't be able to have anymore, I couldn't go on month after month so obsessed and facing the huge disappointment every time I failed I'm really back into my diet, I'm ashamed to say I put back 7lb of the 1stone 10 I lost but I'm down 4 already, we walked 3.5 hours yest and today in the pouring rain too lol xxxx

Hope Tanya comes back. Saw a post on here earlier that sàid what had gone on, but that's now disappeared.

Regina, sorry Af got you.

I was reading an article in the paper about TTC and weight. It basically said that women who are overweight or obese have more chance of problems.

Basically the eggs are smaller which causes problems with implantation (I think that's what it said ) also something about being 17 hours faster, again causing problems

The article was on the Mail on line , health section

I knew being overweight couldn't help, but this sort of proves it!

Yes I agree Lisa it prob isn't helping now that I'm that much older although I'm the same weight I was when I conceived Brooklyn I'm almost 2 years older so I'm going to try my hardest stick to the diet this time and finish it and not give up! I dont want to be overweight and pregnant again although having said that Brooklyn was my easiest pregnancy and labour with no problems at all and i wasnt overweight with any of the others and had problems with each pregnancy and Casey's labour so who knows!!xxxxxx

Aww jo I wish that your cycle would hurry up and end... must be a nightmare Regina glad you had a good time, have you tested? Becks still not gone out? you so need to go out for your birthday.... ps your as young as you feel... and you're feeling 27 x

Hi, I know. It is a nightmare, not knowing what is going on. I bought some vitamins from Tesco yesterday and have started taking them. They are called Menovital and they are nutritional support to maintain Hormonal Balance - they contain - Vitamin C and E, Iron, Zinc, L-Tyrosine, Flaxseed Oil, Starflower, Siberian Ginseng Extract, Sage Powder, Red Clover Blossoms, Liquorice Extract, Black Cohosh, Agnus Castus, Soy Isofavones, Sage, Dong Quai, Red Clover, Vitamin B6 . So lots in there but hopefully it will help with my moods, I seem to have constant PMT!! They weren't cheap, nearly £12 for a month's work, take 2 tablets a day but hey, if it works, I will be happy, even if it regulates my cycles or makes my moods better, it will be worth it.

Just dropping by as after my mmc in aug, I'm having my 1st normal month and expect to ov tomorrow or fri on cd 16 ( which is normal for me)
I would so love a bfp for Xmas!!

Hi Claireyb, I really hope that your cycle is a lucky one xx

Hi to everyone else, hope you have a nice weekend. Another busy day for me, don't get time to stop lol. I don't drink that often but typical binge drinker, like to make up for it. But then takes me 2-3 days to recover lol. Me and my sis are going to register to do Spartan Race next September so am looking forward to that already. Here's a video clip to make you smile, this guy did the race in the same heat we did and we wrote on his body lol. Raises funds for charity.

What a fantastic video Jo, I couldn't do that, all that mud lol, he must be seriously fit to do all that whilst holding the camera, it looked really tough! Really hope those tablets help you, they sound really good. Xx
AFM opk was quite dark this aft so I'm hoping o is just days away, despite being more relaxed I can't help but get excited for o I always do! Xxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Wow I so wish I was fit enough to do something like that !!!! I've the opposite problem at the moment . I'm loosing weight without trying ! I've lost about 2 stone . Early one is saying it to me ( btw I could do with loosing another 2 ) I think it might be my body adjusting after the pregnancy . I lost weight when pregnant as had zero appetite the whole way through and haven't drank ( bar last weekend ) for almost 2 years . Also used to go to the cinema ALOT and stuff my face lol.... No more ... So there have been lifestyle changes that may explain it . Oh and now I'm lugging a buggy and baby around . Weight training lol.. I'm going to go to the doc on Wednesday to get bloods as my family won't stop till I do !! Good chance for me to bring up ttc with her lol

 

[Oasis717]

Regina I hope all is OK, I think its just your lifestyle changes! Xxxx

Yes, I would guess that it is lifestyle changes but hey, that is a lot though, how long has that been over? I can't remember how old Sean is. What are you getting bloods for? Yes defo bring up ttc. I do find it frustrating going to the doctors, especially when I was going about ttc and getting tests and I felt that they just wrote me off, peri menopausal, off you go! Well hey, I will laugh in their face if I did get pregnant.

 

[josie1234]

Hi Lisa,

Yes, that makes sense. Hope you are well. I love your quote at the bottom of your signature, very true xx

 

[Left wonderin]

[Oasis717]

Oh Tilly how exciting I can't believe you're nearly there! I think it was an argument about how many children people have but im really not too sure xx

 

[Left wonderin]

Tilly can we offically go into LABOUR WATCH now ??????ooooooooh how exciting its been a while since we have had that on here !!!!!!!! How are you feeling ?? How long is hubby home for ?
I think it was a comment headed about number of children etc , think it started over comments about the clear blue trial.... Poor so !

Tilly, so exciting. I bet you can't wait and to have hubby home, it must be so hard him being away especially when you are pg. I am not sure if I have missed a page, who has been banned? Tanya?? What has happened???

 

[josie1234]

Labour watch is so exciting!!!! Come on, we need another BFP too.

Oh that's not good, hope Tanya is ok, what a shame.

 

[josie1234]

Hope my cycle is coming to an end soon, grrrr!!

 

[Oasis717]

Jo hope the end is in sight for you! Xx
AFM here's my opks, bottom two today are neg, third up from bottom is what I think is positive but only half the line is as dark as the control, according to Google any portion of the opk that's as dark as control should be counted as a positive, last month I got a v definite darker than control line for two days, this will be a short surge if true lasing about 12 hours. Guess temps over the next few days will reveal all! Bd just in case xxx
