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

[dancareoi]

I can't beleive its nearly 3 years since I joined BnB.

It will be my angel's 'birthday' on 12th Jan, so I will be taking my annual trip to the hospital's Garden of Rememberance to place some flowers over where baby's ashes were buried.

We have all been through so much together and have all been here for each other, it has been a huge help for me on my journey and I too would hate to lose touch.

Think I've got all the pressies, just need to find time to wrap them up now!

Becks and Regina, lots of baby dust your way for a Christmas BFP xxxx

Lisa ours is 7th January, will be thinking of you xxx I'm so grateful to you for starting this thread, I've made some lovely friends and its an unending support in all of our journeys together xxxxxxx
AFM I'm confused, cm dried up yest morn but was back to ewmc last night and today, I got my peak on CD 12 so its been 72 hours now if I don't o today I don't know if I will, disappointing I also messed my temp up this morning I woke at what I thought was about 2am and it was 6 so id got up gone to the loo, got a drink, then went back to sleep and took it at 9 hour and a half after my usual time, total messed up grrrr!!! Did another test on the monitor and it said low fertiloty so not expecting a second surge, i know you can o up to 72 hours after a pos so hoping its soon cant keep this level of bd up was only twice yest lol weekends are harder!Xxxx

Hi girls Becks your new toy cbfm sounds great didn't get to pick mine up on Friday . Spotting stopped now onto Opk going n to try gets lots of b'ding in this week . Sean had to go to the doc yesterday , had bad cold and now developed an eye infection . Has to wait 2 hours !!!! Seems a bit brighter today . I have signed up for a fertility psycic reading ! Lol... On line cost a tenner and she CHERI predicts if when and personality of baby . My reading due the 19th of December lol....just for fun !!!

 

[Oasis717]

I hope Seans better soon poor luv that psychic reading sounds like fun!!! I'm wondering if normal opks would have been better though you know as the monitor tells you when you have an estrogen surge and high fertility but that was now on CD 9 so the bd we did around then is useless now! It obviously goes on expecting you to ovulate 12/24 hours after the peak but 72 hours after I still haven't! So I don't think its any good for us it tells me too early xx

 

[Oasis717]

A rise at last! Xx

Yipee for crosshairs Becks

 

[Oasis717]

Hmm there's a problem though Regina, I got my peak on CD 12 but didn't get a rise til CD 16 so ff have given me dotted CH when I took out the second peak day on CD 13, the monitor keeps a solid smiley for 2 days and you can't test so I plugged two days of peak into my chart but that doesn't mean I would of got another peak CD 13 so I changed it earlier and got dotted CH despite the fact you can o up to 72 hours after a positive. Then this morning I had a massive dip then this aft loads of ewmc again but the monitor has kept on saying low so I don't think I had a second surge, either I ovulated 6 days after the peak (don't think so) or the peak was wrong and too early and I've only o today BUT why would I get rises CD 16 and 17 and cm dried up on CD 16 and I've o on or immediately before or after CD 15 for about 9 months, we only bd once yest and after this twice today but I'm soooooo confused and no idea what's going on or when I o xxxx

 

[crysshae]

It is confusing. If it weren't for all the green on your chart I would think you O'd on CD10.

 

[Oasis717]

It does look like that Crystal doesn't it! If it wasn't for not getting the peak til CD 12 id agree it does look like CD 10 making me 8 dpo if that was the case. If only! This is the first month I've been really baffled by my chartxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Crystal I took out the highs and peak and it gives me CD 11 as o, interesting, but the cbfm couldn't be wrong could it? I wish id used cheapies now! I did think it was odd that everything I've read says you o between 12/24 hours after a peak not 72. Xxx

 

[Oasis717]

I put the monitor results back in and its still giving me CD 11 as o day! Xx

 

[crysshae]

Interesting. Did I read it wrong earlier? I thought CD11 had the first higher temp.

 

[Oasis717]

I don't know Crystal I adjusted a temp on CD 15 and put the original one back in but didn't change anything else. I still don't think I did o so early but I guess my lp will tell! Xxx

 

[crysshae]

Yeah it was probably CD 14 or 15.

 

[Oasis717]

I think so too id be having pmt or spotting if I was 9dpo! My boobs tingled for a while last night and I felt a bit hopeful but nothing today xxx

 

[Left wonderin]

I'm saying cd 11 ... For ov ... I'm all over the place this month so flipin busy in work and tired !! Going to the doc on Monday , the weight is literally falling off me !!! Not dieting ! Yes I've had a change in lifestyle since pg and Sean here but need to get it checked out . If its thyroid issues not a hope of getting pg till its sorted .

 

[Oasis717]

Sorry Regina I hope its nothing to worry about, good luck. I'm not sure when I ovulated, boobs are really sore today but no pregnancy symptoms so whether I'm 6 or 10 I'm out I think, given up now! Xx

 

[Left wonderin]

So I've been reading up and it looks like I have a hyperthyroid . I've every symptom !! This is self diagnosed of course lol !! If I do it causes issues with fertility, miscarraige and defects if untreated . Takes time for meds to kick in so ill have to wait and see what comes of this .
Beck I neither can make head nor tail of your chart !!! Lets just forget it lol......


Well for Christmas anyhow !!

 

[Oasis717]

Oh dear I hope its not that! Yep I'm over it tbh I'm so fed up of trying so hard to get nothing and I just can't do it anymore, we will never say never but we aren't actively trying anymore its just too heartbreaking every month when those BFN show up, this was our last shot and as per it ended in nothing, i've really had enough xx
