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

[EverythingXd]

Becks, I'm Alex. I think for me it does help to talk but at the same time it can be awkward sometimes having friends that you see a lot knowing about it, and everyone's different, you sound like a more private person than me so maybe it wouldn't help you at all. Just know that we're hear to 'talk' if you want to

Well, looks like I'm CD3 today! I started a period on Tues, only about 5 days after I think I O'd! Shortest cycle ever!! I hope things get back to normal when this has gone. At the moment it's really heavy flow... I think you said yours is bad too Becks? Has it stopped now?

Who else is TTC on this thread? Josie? Any others? There seems to be a lot of newly pregnant members

Awh Becks I too say my LO hb with my 12 week loss its so so hard . Also been told that it all should be ok is so tough ! No wonder this is so hard for you xxxxx

 

[tag74]

I've been silently stalking and just wanted to let you know I feel for you all and am sending healing thoughts to you all.

I had a D&C at almost 9 weeks and turning 41 this week I feel as if I will never be pregnant and everyone around me is falling pregnant. On top of it, I am just so sad and trying to put on a happy face.

Sending virtual hugs.

Alex thank you I don't know what I want really I really don't. Talking about it is so heartbreaking af was terrible, like a mc not a period and so painful. Lasted 8 days but stopped a few days ago. Then I had increase in libido and ewmc yest and today and some pink spotting today so I'm v confused about where I am in my cycle. I usually o around cd 16 so it's still early but who knows. We aren't trying but we are rubbish at preventing so I guess anythings possible but I'm not sure if I do want to be pregnant again I'm so scared it will just end up another loss xx
Regina thank you I hope you're ok I hope I'm not spoiling what must be such a happy time for you xx
Tag I'm so sorry I know exactly how you feel I'm 44 in nov and I think my time has run out of I'm honest xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Becks your so thoughtful to think of me , of course your not spoiling anything !!!! I'm barely breathing so happy not to talk about me I'm taking each hour as it comes !! No celebrating or chickens counted here just yet !! Please do talk about how you are feeling here , its sounds like you have limited places IRL to share . Its nice to be able to remember your LO and the fact that you were pregnant , they did exist and did really matter xxxxxx did you give LO a name ??

Hello to anyone else I missed xx

Afm - was very happy Monday as got 3+ weeks on a digital at 5 weeks 1 day so was happy that it might not be ectopic after last one. Probably got a bit excited too soon as started getting tiny bit of spotting yesterday and my boobs aren't as sore today so probably another early miscarriage - just feel in limbo at the moment & not very hopeful - there are soo many hurdles to cross at 43 almost 44 that it does just seem impossible .........

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Regina no no name but I do have my scan pics that's all I have but they are too painful to look at atm. Maybe one day xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Alex (every) hope you are doing ok and that your cycles go back to being more regular and settled.

Regina how are you hun. Hope that little bean is snuggling in there. How are you feeling symptoms wise.

Sunshine and tag - Hi welcome. I really wish you luck. Fx' d xxx

I am just a lurker on here. Perimenopausal so not ttc but not preventing either. OH is in army and lives away and comes home every 4 days however he us on a course for 2 weeks at mo. My cycles are all over and this is my longest ever! It is really strange as I feel like AF is coming, bloating, evil psycho, boobs tender (don't get that too much before) and an odd thing, my nipples are really tender and seem to be hard constant (sorry if tmi). So much so I am putting cotton pads in bra. I think it is just my hormones playing havoc with my body.
My mc was in 2012 we had been ttc since 2008. So just accepted that it ain't going to happen and not let it completely take over my life (as it did completely).

On a positive note I don't know whether you remember the lady who used to come to bootcamp, she is now pg again 25 weeks. She has had a small stitch in cervix so keeping my Fx d for her.

Lisa how are you doing hun? How old is Caitlin now?

 

[Oasis717]

Realised I haven't posted a pic of Brooklyn for ages he's two in October here's one from today xxx

 

[dancareoi]

Hi guys, been in Torquay for the last week, hence I've not been around much.

Becks and Alex, big hugs to you both. Becks, Brooklyn looks a real cutie.

Regina and sunshine, more sticky dust your way.

Jo, Caitlin will be 2 on 3rd September. (Still BF every other morning)

She won't sit still for a photo, but I got this a couple of weeks ago

 

[josie1234]

Cute pics. Brooklyn has such a lovely face and loving his hair. Heart breaker, you are going to have to be chasing those girls away!!!

Lisa Caitlin is a little princess and growing up so quick. Has she got curly hair? Bet she is a little star.

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Lisa and Jo he is gorgeous lovely pic of Caitlin what a little princess she is xxx

 

[dancareoi]

Thanks, she's a noisy little monkey.

We were in the library yesterday and she just shouted the whole time!

Her hair is curly, I don't bother brushing it, no point! Most the like she looks like the mad professor from Back to the Future!

 

[Oasis717]

Lol bless her, Brooklyn is the same we were in town today and every time Adam and I went in different shops Brooklyn shouted dad daddy at the top of his voice til he found him! He's a real daddy's boy he doesn't do that to me lol. He's saying more than one new word every few days this week it's my friend Lucy's son Rowan's name, balloon and bubble! Still only small sentences but his words are building up all the time xxx

 

[dancareoi]

He's doing well, Caitlin is very slow! We seem to have look & there, sort of. She also says down. We also have go and no. Plus the usual diddle diddle!

 

[Left wonderin]
