Kids had a great day yesterday .

Becks glad you and DH have decided to continue with your TTC journey, as you know we're here to help you through xx

Caitlin not saying much at all, she just points at everything she wants, but she understands plenty. Although, like all children, has trouble with the word 'no'

Becks, Brooklyn's so lovely. Caitlin won't keep still long enough for a photo, managed this yesterday

Lol thankyou Regina that would be nice! Xx
Thanks Lisa and that's a beautiful picture Brooklyn's the same although he did come out with ball today for the first time! He says about 3 small sentences now like where's it gone, here it is and what is that but in a slightly shortened version plus some words but like Caitlin he understands absolutely everything! I'm glad you ladies are here for me, at 44 in Nov I've no idea if I will ever get another rainbow and I'm really scared about that but I'm trying to hope maybe just one last time we can be lucky xxxx

Becks , join me I'm not counting years ... I'm going right up until menapause strikes maybe not ttc but definitely ntnp . My real life work college had a surprise baby at 47 so it happens ... In other news I am in my very own Tww from either today or tommrow , yes we are supposed to be preventing but emmmmm accidents do happen and they did on Sunday
So watch this space lol.... Some entertainment for you guys !!!

 

[Oasis717]

Same here Regina although I do think we missed o as we didn't start bd until CD 19 cause of being sore from the tear from d and c. We decided that it could take months to fall again particularly as what with everything we haven't been following the diet I think got me pregnant twice in a row so what's the point in preventing ATM! Maybe I should just forget my age. I mean statistics were wrong with Brooklyn so you never know. I'm due AF in 6 days but I've got no pmt or anything so who knows. After my d and c in 2012 my AF came exactly 4 weeks later but I guess you can't tell. No o bleeding and not much ewmc so not even sure I o. Will be watching your space though!! Good luck xxxx

I'm here! Lovely pic. Cd 30 for me today and some blood streaks so either pre af spotting or o spotting. I think pre af. Time to get back on the diet and sort myself out. Was doing so well til the mc. Hope you are ok xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

I'm good but as my TSH levels goes up so does my weight feeling very frumpy these last few weeks ..... I also need to sort myself out , I've had the luxury of eating what I wanted when I wanted without effecting my weight for a year now . That has come to an end so I need to re adjust . Its gonna be soooooo hard but I don't want to end up 25 stone !!!!

 

[dancareoi]

Hi girls, sorry I've not been around, no excuses!

Caitlin doesn't really need to speak, she just points at everything she wants and says 'diddle diddle diddle diddle'!

Lovely pic Regina, albeit outside down! I take it you haven't been given the go ahead yet for TTC?

Becks and Regina I will be keeping a closer view now on what's going on here now with you both NTNP!!!!

 

[Left wonderin]

Dance that's so cute , it made me laugh out loud !!! Diddle diddle lol....
I'm eh still technically preventing lol.... But I know this is a ttc thread but I want to hear about the rest of life too even the boring mundane bits

 

[Oasis717]

Diddle diddle how funny!! Regina I've put 6lb on since the mc that's just awful! Need to sort myself and my diet out. We aren't trying as such but we aren't brill at preventing either. What will be will be but I really believe my diet is what got me pregnant twice in a row as well as great for loosing weight. I've felt frumpy for ages so I really need to get on and loose the weight xxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Tell me again Becks what did you do re diet , you said you felt amazing on it I'd love to try it . My problem is I have zero dicipline so if I'm doing something I need to rigidly stick to it no cheats or I fall off the wagon !

 

[Left wonderin]

Bought 30 100mg of CQ10 in tescos today for 6.99 . I'm not sure how great the quality is but some is better than none lol... Hoping it will improve egg quality ( that being I have some left to improve ) for when I'm ready to try !

 

[Oasis717]

I wish I could afford the 600mg I'm told its what's needed for egg quality and takes 3 months but atm we are decorating throughout so it will just have to wait! Last year I fell pregnant in March (cp) then July (cp) then absolutely nothing for six months til we started the diet and within one month I was pregnant then again straight after so I'm convinced the diet did that, it was just mainly protein and veg/salad we stuck to it religiously but had a Saturday night off. Only carbs I had was 4 ryvita at lunch but other then that it was all protein and veg. It is quite strict though hence why I haven't been doing it but we are back on it now. I did feel brilliant on it and the weight just fell off! I'm doing it for weight loss only really I think my time has passed for another lo I'm just too old;( Typical days menu would be eggs for breakfast, ryvita with salmon or tuna and sweet corn or cucumber for lunch and either chicken salad or stir fry veg for dinner, I'm really sure it's what worked fertility wise my eggs must just be no good now xxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Yet another loss for me, after stark white tests last week am 5 days late been light spotting last 5 days with cramps 2 days last week I get a faint line but af is starting so that's 3 in a row for me;( xxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Barely there line today so def a cp xx

 

[Left wonderin]

Gosh Oasis I'm lost for words .. On the plus side you can get pregnant and everything is working . I'm guessing its now down to catching a " good egg " you DO have some golden ones . I once did read a post about hyper fertility but can't remember what it was about I must look it up for you xxxxx hope your doing ok

 

[dancareoi]

Sorry its happened again Becks, but as Regina says you're still managing to get PG and that good egg is there, ready and waiting to pop out and give you your rainbow.

My acupuncturist said it was about getting good quality blood through to the uterus. He advised the following foods to help:-

Kerry Gold butter
Kale
Broccoli
Beetroot
Spinach
2 eggs a day - at least!

Might be worth trying to eat above, maybe spinach omelette for lunch every day, that's what I did with Caitlin (using 3 eggs!)
