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

[garfie]

Hi ladies

How cute are your not so little ones now

I'm still stalking - but don't feel I have a lot to contribute - I have had some very wacky short cycles and now this long one - so I have decided to go on the pill (Dr thinks I may be in menopause)

I am away on holiday for a few weeks so I don't want the witch flying in and spoiling my fun!

As you know we only have till the end of the year - so feel my time is rapidly coming to an end.

Love hearing your little stories so sad I don't have much to contribute to the thread anymore but I want to thank you all for your support and for now I will be stalking

Hi ladies, how is everyone?

Sunshine - so glad to read on another thread that you have had a scan and saw heartbeat

I'm 2dpo today and hoping my cycle is at least more normal this month - I had a 5 day LP in July (1st cycle after MC).

 

[Sunshine14]

Hey everythingxd thanks for your kind words! Have to say I was amazed when doctor said there was a hb and all measuring well. I'm taking each day one at a time as I know there are so many hurdles at my age - I'm praying to still get a hb at 12 weeks & for tests to come back ok if I get that far. Good luck to you this cycle hun xxx I found after my ectopic at new year that my LP was much shorter so I started taking 50mg of B6 each day & it made my cycle go back to normal really quickly. Good luck anyway hun xxx

Hi to everyone else. Hope you're all well.

Aah thanks Sunshine, I might try B6 but I'll see how this cycle is first - I know last month's cycle was really out of whack, I spotted loads whereas I've had no spotting now for at least a week. I don't really want to take more supplements because my prenatal has more than 100% RDA for a lot of these vitamins and I worry that too much will affect me negatively

Well ladies I have a bfp but not hopeful as with all my losses I have v few symptoms. It will be the 4th time this year I've had a bfp but none so far have ended well. I have no idea when I o but think I'm around 11dpo. I got lines on ics yest so decided to test with the Asda strips as they are so reliable and got a line that's visable without squinting. Dh and me see no reason to expect anything but I guess you never know. I'm fully expecting the line to disappear xxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Gosh Becks I wasn't expecting that ! Can totally understand your apprehension after all you have been through . Ill withhold my congratulations until you feel ready for it . I imagine your head is all over the place . Are you going to keep testing ? I hope beyond hope that this is your miracle ,

 

[Oasis717]

Thank you love so kind, I don't think so though as with so many times now I know which is a healthy pregnancy and which isn't right from the start. It could be a cp or a later loss which terrifies me. We decided to let what will be be but I never expected to fall again as it took so long last year. again I think the diet has been why I've had 4 bfp since jan. It's awful cause with all my heart I want this to be ok but in my head I know it prob won't. Xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Well no matter what your head tells you ... This LO may have different ideas . I know its very hard for you to hope so for now ill do it for you xxxxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

You are so lovelyxxxxx thank you

 

[EverythingXd]

Oh Becks, I'll hope for you too! Have you tested again today, or will a darker line not appease your fears anyway? I so hope you're wrong and that this is a take-home baby for you

 

[Sunshine14]

Good luck Becks have everything crossed for u xxx did u test again?

 

[dancareoi]

Becks, sending lots and lots and lots more sticky dust your way xxx

Sunshine and Regina, how's it going with you both?

 

[Sunshine14]

Hi dancareoi Im good thanks for asking. In a weird place though as I'm kind of ignoring the pg as Im not letting myself hope or dream in case it's all gone at the next scan. Have a booking in appointment on 1 September at 11+2 & hoping might get to hear the hb. I don't even have a scan date yet so kind of sucks. How are you anyway? Are you ttc at the moment?

Hi to everyone else hope ur all well.

 

[EverythingXd]

Hi ladies. Unfortunately AF got me today, CD1 Also my hair has started to fall out again... didn't know that happened, like having a MC isn't bad enough Has anyone else here had the hair loss post-MC? Don't know whether this will last as long as it did post-birth or whether (hopefully) it will be shorter?

On a positive note, it was a normal 26 day cycle with 11 day LP, so looks like things are getting back to normal after my MMC end of June.

Also, OH has arranged for us to go to Florence for 3 nights for our anniversary soon and the timing of that is great because I will O very soon afterwards!

Hope you ladies are all well x

Everything have you ever had your thyroid checked ?

 

[EverythingXd]

Everything have you ever had your thyroid checked ?

Not specifically, no. I have low blood pressure though, and was getting dizziness with it a year or so back so my doctor ran full blood checks and it didn't pick up any problems. I would've thought thyroid would've been checked then. Do you think so?

I also had several blood tests when I had my ectopic in January this year (I needed a blood transfusion due to major blood loss). One showed I might be diabetic but that was actually caused by the blood loss - a lot of my blood function wasn't working properly. After recovery they checked diabetes and confirmed I don't have it. Again, I would've thought any thyroid problems would've been picked up then.

I guess I could request it though, to check.

Just said it as it as hair loss was one of my symptoms . I put it down to having had Sean but it was my thyroid .

 

[Left wonderin]

My cycles were also messed up ...
