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

[Left wonderin]

I keep swinging from one to the other , didn't do anything the one time I did get preg expect bd from day 12 -14 of my cycle . Now looking at everything under a microscope and not having success . Anyway was thinking of going back to old fashioned 12-14 day b ding but now as I've paid attention not sure I have 28 day cycles as they have varied since my mc . Now thinking of temp taking next cycle as well as Opk testing !! I'm also starting to feel guilty for waking OH up for b'ding ( he is on shift work) but needs must lol.

Yeh i fell pregnant last year when they were loads of things happening and we forgot we were ttc. We were in the mind of if it happens then great. Wish i could be like that now. Think its different once you ve had mc. The doc told me to BD every other day so think i might give DH a rest tomorrow but it will be CD 15 so i will probably change my mind just to cover every day over these few days. Feels a bit pointless if i am not ov but worth a go. I do opk strips morning and digi in afternoonover these few days. My chart is strange this month, hope temp goes up over next few days. This is driving me crazy.

Wouldn't it be great if youncouldmjust "forget" for a while . It kinda has taken over , I'm always now waiting , waiting to wait , counting or hoping !!! Trying to be good in what I eat and drink just in case . Sometimes I feel,like saying lets just forget the whole thing and get another pup ( I'm dog mad ! ) we have three which is enough !!! But I can't give up its not an option ........ My clock is ticking fast ...... 40 now so I better get a move on !

 

[josie1234]

Yeh i have felt like giving up but at42 (43 next month) i am definately running out of time. This is my second month of charting and just recently been getting tests through doctor so see how that goes. Wish i had done it earlier but didnt really know about it. It does take over your life. Trying to focus on other things but its hard. My temps not looking good this month compared to last month. Good luck with the charting xx

Then if AF shows up the new adventure of temping next cycle . Going to Crufts this weekend so will be a distraction ( who am I kidding ill be SS the whole time , mmm think I just felt a twinge lol.......

 

[josie1234]

Hi! Hope you don't mind me jumping in. My history - started TTC summer 2009, pg Oct 2009, miscarried that pregnancy in Nov 2009, pg again March 2010 but was a chemical in April 2010, IVF cycle in Oct/Nov 2010 and got pg with twins, had twins at 28 weeks (all is ok so far!) in May 2011, pg again Feb(I think) 2012, miscarried one month later, pg again December 2012, miscarried that pregnancy Jan 2013. I am 41 and TTC. My RE suggests IVF again but boy was that a fight with my husband. He's coming with me to ask the RE some questions but may be ok with doing IVF with PGD. Until then I was able to get a prescription for Clomid from a friend who's a dr (RE thought Clomid would be wasting time and that we should just go for the IVF). I took the Clomid on CD 5-9 and will start checking for ovulation on Wednesday. Of course my husband is away till Friday so probably serves me right for being so sneaky. I just know there's got to be a good egg left. Anyway sorry for writing so much!

Welcome to our group and sorry for your losses.

Have you considered acupuncture, I have it myself and have heard lots of good stories. The acupuncturist tells me of his success stories, but obviously he wants to sell himself, up reading his website he certainly gets the results, it may be worth a thought if yo have a local one who specialises in fertility.


How is everyone else today?

Was looking at your FF chart about 5 mins ago and noticed not updated, however have just looked again and see you have positive OPK

 

[josie1234]

Hi Lisa, how are you today? Hope you are feeling ok. I am good, so pleased that I got a smiley face just now. Thought it was late to do my digi but I've had a busy day and done an opk mid afternoon, looked positive but yesterday did too but no smiley face on my digi in late afternoon. Was expecting no smiley face but yippee there it was!! Made my day lol. So chuffed as doc said I wasn't ovulating. See what happens when I go for my progesterone bloods on Thursday. How's everyone else today?

 

[Left wonderin]

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday no news from me today just checking in with everyone OH glued to the football so iPad all to myself lol. Away this weekend so that should make some of the days go by fast in the Tww . Should have AF before or on the 17th which is Patrick's day so one way or the other I've something to celebrate )) ALso have a plan for next month if AF shows up, signed up to ff , brand new themometer at the ready lol... ( with a bit of luck I'll not have to use it )

 

[Left wonderin]

Jo just saw you got a smiley face delighted for you ! Now here is hoping OH around to make the most of it lol..... anyone hear from Becks ? Just noticed she has not been on in the last day or so . Hope all is ok with her . Xx

 

[dancareoi]

Evening all.

I am still suffering with sickness, not as bad as it was, but still hanging about. Have felt sticky on and off all day today!

My DH is playing footie, so I have iPad to myself, but I am watching the footie as well. Don't mean to offend anyone but I am supporting Real Madrid ( we are liverpool supporters!)

Jo, so pleased you got your smiley face, all systems go! (When I had my progesterone tested they did it 7 days after I OV) anyway, at least if to have it done you will know if you have OV or not. I had mine done last August, but by the time the got the results I had already found I was PG!

Regina fingers crossed you won't need to start temping next month!

I was also wandering about Becks as she has been very quiet the last couple of days.

 

[Left wonderin]

OH is a Liverpool supporter too ! Sorry and happy to hear you are sickly lol......really hope Beck's is ok and that she is just busy

 

[dancareoi]

OH is a Liverpool supporter too ! Sorry and happy to hear you are sickly lol......really hope Beck's is ok and that she is just busy

Thanks for being glad i'm sickly

Off to bed now, late one for me tonight, last 2 nights I've been in bed for 9!

 

[josie1234]

Hope Becks is ok. Catch you all tomorrow xx

Hi Ladies.

I hope I can join in. I’ve read most of the 32 pages of this thread. You all are so sweet and supportive of each other. I cried with sadness and also with joy at your stories.

My name is Janet. I’m 45. Today is the first day of my chemical miscarriage at 5w2d…so I guess it’s CD1. I feel fine emotionally, but I do feel horrible physically. I know I'll feel better tomorrow.

I hope everyone is having a good day.
