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

[Serenjay]

Oh Tara that sounds horrific what you have been through, your so brave trying again.. Im such a worrier we are buying a baby monitor with the sensor pad, I had one for my son and it was a Godsend as I dont tend to sleep well when they are small as I keep checking them. Im a worrywart.

Im Tanya By the way People here call me T

Thanks Tanya, good to meet you! I try not to dwell on things too much or I wouldn't step outside the door, just sit rocking in a corner with my kids wrapped in duvets around me.

Even after enough pregnancies where I should know what they feel like, though, I still get my hopes up every cycle I try. I think it's because it's never taken me this long to fall pregnant before -- this is my sixth cycle trying (although my timing was off for a few of those).

I love the positivity of this thread. We know what we want and it's head down and plough forward until we get it!

Hi ladies, just about to ring epu, really hoping I can get a scan xxx

 

[Oasis717]

Scan booked 11.20 next Monday at 7 weeks xx

 

[dancareoi]

Becks, It's going to be a long 7 days!

How are things going?



Caitlin last week, she keeps climbing on the table! (Upside down)

 

[Oasis717]

Ah Lisa lovely pic she's getting so big! Yes its going to be a long long week I'm gunna be so so scared, I had on off mild nausea yest but nothing today. Its so hard not knowing! Xx

 

[InVivoVeritas]

Becks, so glad they can see you Monday. It'll be a long week, but at least you'll be over the first hurdle by then. Hang in there!! You're in the hardest part, it can only get better.

Lisa, she's gorgeous! She looks like a girl who knows she's the centre of the universe.

Me, I'm 7dpo today and trying to hold on until Friday to test. Those early tests are too soul-destroying. Instead I'm symptom spotting like a good 'un.

 

[crysshae]

Glad they got you in quickly Becks.

Good luck Tara.

Lisa - Caitlin is so cute!

 

[josie1234]

Hi all,

Sorry I haven't been on much but as ever, I am still stalking. Hi Tara, welcome. Sounds like you have been through it hun but good luck to you, keeping fx for you.

Becks - welcome back, missed you. FX for you too and hope the symptoms keep coming and GL for your scan.

Lisa - wow Caitlin is getting a little young lady, so beautiful.

How is everyone else? Went to see OH as he couldn't come home as he had a training day. We are off to Australia next week, soooooooo excited. Fly Thurs but go to airport hotel on Weds. There til 19th Apr. So, I want some more BFP's when I come back so get yourselves busy lol.

 

[dancareoi]

Becks, keeping everything crossed.

Jo, not long now.

Caitlin is such hard work at the moment! She is climbing on everything. I've moved one cupboard out the way, but she's climbing on another now.

Just went in the playroom and she had been at the box we keep the paint on and was sucking on paint brushes , luckily they were clean. She's an absolute maniac right now!!!

Took Eoin to docs again yesterday as he has a bad cough again and once again the poor little soul has been prescribed antibiotics. He coughed so much last night he was sick.

Anyway, must go, can hear Caitlin again and it sounds like she's on the cupboard again !

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks ladies time is going so slow and the nausea is so vague and mild its not making me feel any better ah well, soon be Monday xxx

 

[InVivoVeritas]

Half way there now, Becks. With LittleMan my nausea was vague until about 8 weeks, it drove me nuts! I'd already had my scan by then so it wasn't even much reassurance.

Jo, thanks for the welcome. Australia sounds fantastic -- how long are you going for?

T, how's the sickness this week?

Me, I'm 9dpo now and feeling vaguely hopeful. I plan to test at 11dpo unless something drastic happens tomorrow to change my mind.

 

[josie1234]

Hey Lisa yes not long, I can't wait. Loads to do before I go but taking extra shifts as when I am away I don't get paid.

Hi Becks hope your sickness stays (in a good way). Time does drag when you are waiting.

Hi Tara we are there 16 days. Friends live in Brisbane so going to stay with them. Hoping for a BFP for you x

 

[Left wonderin]

Hello all, hope all are well...

Becks is it monday or tuesday you have scan? Im so excited and nervous for you..

Nice that some are jetting off to Oz have a great time.. im lucky to leave house for 20 mins and not throw up.!

Hiya... I had the scan yesterday.. measured 13 weeks 3 days so today I am 13 weeks 4 days.. Baby was perfect.. we had a terrible scan mind.. the sonographer was a student and she went straight to check other things before even checking babies HB (I knew baby was ok I had just heard it on doppler but still not good for other parents) she then quickly measured from head to bum and then printed off the worst pic ever.. so we have a fuzz with what looks like a deformed head as she only got half of it on the pause screen.. if I had not known baby was perfect 3 weeks ago I would of worried... I said why have you done that? all the other pics outside on wall are so much better of babies less than ours. I said is this an old machine? no they said. The woman training her was a right grump.. I said look this is the dating scan and yes its the best feeling to know all is ok with baby but at least show 2 arms 2 legs and SOMETHING I said you didnt talk us through anything... how must the other parents be feeling if this was the 1st scan they had done? Anyways rant over I came from room and had to wait for bloods.. whilst waiting the other mums (4) said that they were all dissapointed too with scans as they couldnt see it properly were not told anything and photos same as me were a blob.... so I went back and made a complaint.. as I said if not for me something needs to be said for future parents going there that they need to be shown the baby has arms legs and not just measure cervix and measure head to bum and whizz off...

Due date now 28th Sept. Still vomiting bad... got more sickness pills to pick up later.. so worn out. but happy bunny baby is perfect..

 

[Oasis717]

What fab news I'm so pleased baby is OK but I'm sorry you had a crappy sonographer I'm just so nervous for Monday its unreal, if there's a healthy baby in there it will be a miracle cause I feel just too OK, nausea so so mild xx

 

[Moomaymisty]

Becks it will be great you had fab test lines... Dark star is 13 weeks with twins and NO SICKNESS jammy woman lol... My daughter had NO symptoms at all with her pregnancy and Every pregnancy is different.. I have Never been this ill with any of mine before... maybe yours is being kind and saying lets give her a break and symptom free pregnancy x
