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

[dancareoi]

It can't do any harm.

I think as well you need progesterone. My consultant prescribed this to make me less fertile, which at our age you're thinking that's all I need!

However, the reasoning isn't that it'll keep a pregnancy that's not meant to be, it's more like your body won't keep an egg that's not meant to be. So it may seem that it will take longer to bet pg but when you do the theory is it will be a keeper.

It's sounds like you are super fertile, like me, that's great when younger, but when the eggs get older it means the body holds onto fertilised eggs which aren't going to viable.

The theory behind progesterone is that it only keeps the good ones. You therefore won't have the heart ache each month of another CP or loss.

Might be worth seeing your doc and having a chat. I had 200mg twice a day. You take it after OV for 13 days. If you are PG on day 13 you keep taking, if not pg you stop taking it.

Dance that's very interesting ! I didn't know that at all. So the p helps your body to hang on to only the viable eggs ?

Sorry ladies didn't want to gatecrash ur thread ....... but Dance I am very interested in what u said about super fertility as sounds like me!! On my last bfp before Xmas the doc gave me progesterone 400g x 2 a day from bfp and I took it til 6 weeks scan and at scan it turned out to be ectopic. Day of scan I stopped the progesterone & 4 days later had mc start & ectopic faded so in my case it did keep an unviable pg going .... reason I ask is I have loads in the cupboard that doc gave me is it worth trying it do u think?

Sorry again for gatecrashing xxx

Babydust to u all x

Sunshine your not gate crashing stick around its nice to see a new face

Hi sunshine, newbies Are always welcome.

I think the progesterone is worth sticking with if you have plenty there.

First month of taking it I got pg with my now 21 month old daughter. I took it from OV to week 28!

Im a little bit worried about Caitlin's lack of words, she says bye, go, oh no although she has a new word now, or should I say words ' yeeeeee haaaaa' she can't say momma or dadda but can copy Sherriff Callie off Disney Junior!

[Left wonderin]

Thanks guys !! I'm relaxed about it this time ... Well I am until I start lol...... Its been so nice not having to stress every month !!! Was in London for the weekend and it was CRAZY !!!! So busy !!!! People were like ants !!!!

 

[Oasis717]

Glad you had a good time! 8 weeks this week and no af still v faint lines on tests after getting that pos at 4.5 weeks post d and c. We're stark white after 3 weeks so I need a blood test and scan I think xxx

 

[dancareoi]

Becks, your head must be all over the place right now.

Am I right in thinking that at a certain point those HPT aren't as accurate due to changing hormones?

I think a trip to EPU is advisable

Lots of hugs your way xxx

 

[Oasis717]

I know you are right I just don't want to go docs are useless and am wondering if there's any point going. It's 8 weeks 1 day since d and c and no af. Test today looked pretty neg, I'm really starting to worry that if they injured me on the outside what did they do to my insides? On a more positive note I've stuck 100% to my diet for the first time since last October and have lost 13 lbs in 2 weeks 5 days so I'm really pleased but my legs are so tired from all the walking! I'm just 4 lb over my wedding weight now. I've been pregnant every time I've tried to diet and had to stop so I'm glad it's finally coming off. I feel much happier at this weight but I've still a stone and a half to go! Xxx

 

[dancareoi]

Becks, I know you don't want to go to EPU and I can understand why, but I think you need to know what's going on one way or the other, because its not doing you any good being in limbo.

On the other side, well done on your diet, that's great going, keep it up.

 

[josie1234]

Hi all. I think they are right Becks, you are best knowing what is happening. Well done on the weight loss hun. Doing well.

How is everyone else. Sorry I haven't been on much. Xxx

 

[Sunshine14]

Hey ladies thank you for the kind welcome x hope you are all well😃 delighted to hear ur thyroid is under control now Left exciting times ahead xxx I used to live in Kilkenny in Ireland and my friend there had thyroid issues but it's under control and she is now pg with second child, albeit thru ivf but she's now about 30 weeks so fingers xxx for you hun.

Becks how you doing hun? Could u be pg do u think? My mcs I always get af at about 6 weeks so 8 weeks could be ur rainbow!? Especially if u have managed to stick to ur diet hun x are u going to go to epu or have u been doing opks? Hope you get an answer soon hun x

Dance how are u? Thanks for the info on the progesterone hun I think I will defo take it if I get any sign of a bfp - I'm at about 7dpo today I think and although we got bd in at the right time it just seems quite tough to get pg these days at almost 44 let alone get that golden egg sigh ....

Atm -haven't been able to get on here much as had my little fellas 5th birthday and we are trying to sell our flat so life is a merry go round trying to organise everything!
Thanks again for the welcome though x

Jo, hi

Sunshine - lots of baby dust your way

Becks, how are you?

Hectic here these days. For the last few weeks I have been sorting through clothes and selling on ebay, I've had to register as a shop to enable me to list more items, its taking a lot of my time and is like having a job again!

Plus coming to end of term, there's so much going on at school too with fairs and sports day and school trips.

Dd at friends tonight and off to Borth, west Wales on Monday for 2 nights. DS 5 sports day next wed afternoon. Dd also has end of term gymnastic display Thursday evening. She's also studying to sit her 11+ in September and has a tutor season Friday in Warwick and is sitting her 4th mock exam on Saturday! She did very well in her last one in may and as a reward had her ears pierced!

We're hoping she'll do we'll enough to go to same grammer school as DS .

We had a letter from DS school this morning to say he's won the year 8 history prize. Prizes are based on end of year exam results, so I'm assuming he got the highest score (150 kids) so far his end of year grades are RS - A. History, geography, science and maths A*, waiting on French, Spanish and English, we're really pleased with him.

 

[josie1234]

Hi Lisa that's great. Bet you are really chuffed. Having a sort out and selling is time consuming. Sounds like you are keeping busy with the children's activities. DS is on school trip until Monday. My longest cycle yet! When will it end??

 

[dancareoi]

Hi all,

Even thinking about you Becks, any news?

 

[josie1234]

Becks hope you are ok. Any news?

How is everyone else?
