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

[dancareoi]

Becks, at least you have some answers.

Nature made a heartbreaking decision to take your angel, but better for nature to have made the decision than you having to face what may have been a heartbreaking decision. Xxx


Welcome TTC74, welcome to our group. We have all been where you are and know how you feel. You will get plenty of support from some lovely ladies here.

Some of us have finished our journey and have our rainbows, some of us are still trying.

Compared to a lot of our lovely ladies, you are a spring chicken, which hopefully will help your journey.

I was 42 when had my rainbow

Thanks Lisa I'm definitely glad to not have has to make that call. Still so very sad but I know it was what was meant to be xxx

Welcome TTC74, I'm also 40 and had a previous ectopic (Jan this year). Good luck to you

Becks, sorry to read your update. From time to time, I wonder if I should just give up and concentrate on what I already have. My OH says perhaps we should stop if we have another MC... I just can't make that decision though. It's like I'm ok if nature has decided that's it for me, but I'm not ok to prevent another baby. Maybe you will feel more ready to decide one way or the other once you've had the genetic testing x

I had a small temp shift this morning. I anticipate that it will continue to rise and that I am officially in the TWW.

TTC - fingers crossed for you. Do you symptom spot?

AFM I'm at the opposite end of my TWW, 9dpo today. Symptoms pretty much the same as last 2 months so I'm not hopeful. I used to wake hot during LP and haven't done that since MMC end of June... that has returned this month, so I am glad my cycle does seem to now be about back to normal.

Last 2 months I've had spotting 10dpo before AF on 11dpo (I used to get AF 11dpo but no prior spotting). Interested to see if I spot tomorrow.

 

[TTC74]

I do symptom spot but the month I got my BFP, I didn't have a lot of symptoms. So, for whatever that's worth. Sti, I'm sure I'll continue to do it.

 

[Left wonderin]

With all my BFP in ever got any early symptoms

 

[TTC74]

Crosshairs! My first set since my loss. I'm so hopeful!

Crosshairs! My first set since my loss. I'm so hopeful!

Woop! Looks like you timed BD well, fingers crossed for you.

AFM, AF hasn't arrived yet but I tested BFN this morning (11dpo) and I'm sure it's coming so just want it to turn up now so I can crack on with next cycle.

 

[dancareoi]

Hi, how's everyone doing?

 

[EverythingXd]

Hi ladies, my last AF came at 12dpo which is a good LP for me and no spotting so that was also good. I'm now 4dpo in current cycle and all usual post O / pre AF symptoms so far so nothing to cling my hopes to lol.

How is everyone else?

 

[TTC74]

I've been taking all these FertileAid supps. Well, I think there may actually be something to them. I'm on my 5th day of AF. It's been light, but still - I usually only get 3 days of AF. So, it seems like at the very least it's helping some with lining.

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi everyone hope everyone is doing well keeping my fingers crossed for everyone still awaiting their BFP . All is good with me , almost half way !! Have a nice birthday treat for my 43 birthday , my 21 weeks scan two days later . Im keeping EVERYTING crossed all is ok with this LO. Not quite sure what I'm most shocked at .. That I'm turning 43 !! ( it sounds old ) or that im actually pregnant ! ( that still hasn't sunk in ! )

Keep posting

 

[dancareoi]

Regina, so pleased to hear everything is going well.

Are you remaining team yellow, or will you find out if blue or pink?



My little rainbow. (Can't get her the right way round!)

 

[Oasis717]

Our rainbow was two Sunday just gone! Where's the time going? Currently about 3/4 dpo but not speculating anymore as what will be will be. Hope everyone is ok xxx

 

[TTC74]

My pre-O temps are super low this month. Wonder what that's about.

 

[EverythingXd]

Hi ladies, I'm 11dpo today and just waiting for AF now. My bb's were sore yesterday but that's gone, and I have no cramps or bloating so I know I'm definitely out (this is my typical pre-AF pattern, whereas I have PP and bloat badly when pregnant).

Love reading your updates ladies so keep them coming

 

[Oasis717]

Aw I am sorry it's so disappointing isn't it fingers crossed for next cycle. Afm I had two faint lines on pound shop strips 20miu yest but today stark white on a 25miu pound shop so bloody evaps again! 7dpo today so knew it was too early for lines. Boobs been very sore since yest and some yellow cm but nothing that's shouting pregnant at me! Xx

 

[TTC74]

FF thinks I may be 3 DPO when my monitor says I'm just gearing up to O bc my temps did something wacky this month. Looks like I'm going to have a wacky chart this month!

Also, I'm going to be leaving town without DH on CD15 which is my most common day for O. I sometimes O as early as CD14 and as late as CD17. So, I'm praying for a CD14 O this month (or CD15 at the latest). I wont be back with DH until CD18. So, if I don't O on CD14 or 15, I'll likely be out before the TWW even begins.

 

[Oasis717]

Really hope you o when you need to that really sucks! Fingers crossed. Around 8dpo and lots of brown/yellow cm and cramping so maybe another wacky short cycle? Af due next Monday cd 23 today xxx
