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

[dancareoi]

Hi all,

Fiona, sorry about BFN, but you are not out yet. Was it the same make of test?

Becks, glad you are feeling better about things, PAL and PaRL are very stressful, you question everything you feel and everything that is going on.

I am still getting the odd flutter, keep hoping to feel it all the time, but I know that's not how it works, even when baby is bigger it doesn't kick all the time, so a little one won't be as easy to feel anyway.

Was at church this morning as my DD year were leading the Lenten Liturgy and she had a reading, whilst sat there I felt the baby do a little wiggle, it is so comforting.

Jo, that's great news about OV, your DTd was well timed with breathing spaces, so fingers crossed for you.

Regina, fingers crossed for you too.

Crazy, hope you are still feeling ok.

That's wonderful Lisa, I'm so looking forward to feeling that too, I haven't let myself get excited about anything yet but I most definitely wouldn't be able to help getting excited about that. Hope your daughter's reading went well, it's so lovely to see them standing up in front of everyone, my daughter was picked to read out a speech at a recent meeting at her school for the girls joining this September, she did so well and the headteacher sent a letter home thanking her and saying what a wonderful speech she wrote, she's come a long, long way from the little girl that had to be pulled screaming from my arms at nursery, she was so terribly shy she just sat in her teachers lap for 2 weeks and wouldn't speak! Now there's no stopping her and she's completely different, very confident and outgoing. Xxxxx

Shyness is something my DD has never suffered from! Always the total opposite.

I do love to feel the movements, but still don't want to get get too carried away just yet, although we have said we do now try and relax a little!

 

[Oasis717]

I was painfully shy when I was little, NOT that anyone would believe that of me now as shy is def not a word you could use to describe me lol, funny how we change xxx
My mw told me 16 weeks and I can relax, a little, it's when the risk drops dramatically for mc after that but I'm not sure I'll ever be completely relaxed, which is a shame but everything changes after mc unfortunately xxxx

Lisa - It was one of my posh superdrug ones do you think it makes a difference if you dip or pee directly on to a HPT? just wondering

I have asked the doc for a HCG test - she has agreed had to tell a little white lie about my last period though so as soon as my friend is able we are off to the hospital again this doc even said three m/c must be a chromosome defect - but I was tested and so was hubby

Now I'm just waiting

It's so cute when they get up in front of everyone and read - I remember my eldest (he has autism) well they were doing a project and had to sell it to the audience asking for money for their cause, anyway the girl who was supposed to do it with him lost her nerve. So their he was in front of a group of people selling his cause and then answering questions after - How proud was I yep really proud

Don't think he's forgiven the girl yet though

We have been told now that risk has reduced.

At my scan 2 weeks ago she said risk is now 1 in 200 and the scan weds said 0.8%, so very similar.

Both said the risk now of MC is the same at any point further into the PG!

However, as I say, because we lost one at this stage, the stats don't really count for much!

Maybe in a couple of weeks of time I may start relaxing a little.

Not sure how you pee makes a difference, although I always dip to make sure I enough wee on it!

How sensitive are the super drug ones? I always use Tesco And got first line at 9dpo.

 

[Oasis717]

The Superdrug ones are super sensitive, my fav xxxx
Fi make sure you dip for at least ten seconds! Xxx

if its any consolation I got super faint positive on the sunday, bfn on the monday and bfp on the Tuesday! all same brand so don't give up yet. Doesn't it take 48 hours for the hcg to double as well?
I have just put a full week in at work and I am exhausted, not sure if I can keep doing this, too old haha.
Boobs still tender and def bigger, had to adjust my bras.
Still tired most of the time.
Metal taste comes and goes, was a bir ocncerned that I don't seem to have much nausea now but then I remembered I was like this with all my successful pregnancies,I was lucky in that respect. The light headiness has started though . I have low blood pressure and was like this all the way through my others.
That's why I eat little and often so maybe that's why I don't have the nausea as I have always ate like this and I drink loads of water.
Been too tired to do my usual exercise regime so just done bits when I have had the energy but switched to my pregnancy dvd, as my usual one is quite an intense one, and trying to do gentle walks daily.
still peeing a lot too.
Just wish I could fast forward to the second tri, and then maybe I will stop fretting every time I go to the toilet in case I find blood.

 

[Oasis717]

My symptoms are very strong somedays and not so much others with new symptoms starting now but mine were really off and on before 7 weeks, you must be so tired working so much I don't know how you do it! Xxx

 

[Left wonderin]

God evening all , just back from work and no sign yet of AF or any more spotting even still I'm not even really sure Sunday is 14 days post o/v as got some many smiley faces, I'm counting from the third one so its there or there abouts . Will defo test Sunday morning if AF does not show up before then . The last three days are the worst for waiting , the closer it gets to testing the more nervous I get ..... Really can't think of anything else but promised myself I would not test before then.

 

[Left wonderin]

Glad to see everyone is doing ok and yeah Jo for the results remind me how long are your usual cycles ?

 

[Oasis717]

Regina I don't know where you get your will power from! Brilliant that AF is staying away, hoping she stays away for good! Xx

 

[josie1234]

Yeh same here. Good luck. My cycles are 30 days so not long to wait. Chart is at signature.

Wow you were busy b'ding lol....

 

[Left wonderin]

Beck's not sure it's willpower more like ignorance is bliss

 

[Oasis717]

Lol this is true, but my curiosity or my obsession with poas would get the better of me I know it would! Well I think I may have a slight return of appetite, I've actually been hungry tonight, that feeling has been alien to me for weeks now but I've just devoured a delicious curry pot noodle, my dd's lol, and it was amazing, that loss of appetite was good at keeping the weight down, still 2lb down at 10 weeks, need to make sure I keep up keeping away from crisps and choc, still feel sick after eating but it was lovely whilst I was eating it! Xxx

 

[josie1234]

Lol. I know. Maybe thats why me and DH are so shattered.

 

[josie1234]

I know Becks. Wonder if there is a POAS helpline lol. Good that you ve got sime appetite back. My DS loves pot noodles.

 

[Oasis717]

It was a chip shop curry one I'll have to buy another one for her now and me lol xxx
