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

[Oasis717]

I can't believe some of your will power when I was testing at 5 dpo feeling very bad again today, I know its good but it's starting to really wear me down, I know I'd be worried if there was nothing but this constant indigestion type pain and headache I have most of every day plus intermittent sickness, plus no appetite, sore breasts and more emotional than I can explain is really hard, I'd forgotten how hard, I wouldn't change it for the world but please hurry up and ease up symptoms!! Xx

Jo and Fiona, fingers crossed for you.

I know what you mean about not testing too soon, if you can hold off the hope stays with you that bit longer.

Becks sorry you're feeling rough, but pleased for you as well!

My sickness is gradually disappearing. I don't get sick in the day now and each morning is slightly less sicky than the day before!

At diabetic clinic again today, still going ok. Day readings are fine, but morning one is the one to watch, just about on target on 8 units of insulin.

Midwife always checks me over as well, urine is NAD as the say and blood pressure is 100/60 so that's good as well.

Seeing community midwife tomorrow and back at diabetic clinic again and will also see m consultant again, so it's still all go!

Well i am bushed. Off to bed i think. Feel crampy like AF is coming.

 

[josie1234]

Bad times. Woke up at 5 needing toilet so took temp. Gone down. Really bad cramps. AF is here. Really hoped this was the month as OH posted away 1 Apr so will only get to see him every 4 days. Good luck to everyone waiting.

Jo, sorry AF arrived.

You must have OV when FF originally said otherwise it shows a 9 day LP.

Fingers crossed for next month xx

 

[josie1234]

Tbh Lisa I am not sure how long my LP is now. I was working off period tracker app before i started charting and just realised that when you put period has started i think it changes when you ov around that date so not sure now. I just dont see how it is going to happen with reduced time of bd and trying to time it when i ov. Dont know whether to give up charting or even give up trying.

 

[Oasis717]

Oh Jo I'm so sorry, I was so hoping for you this month when I saw those temps, don't give up, I know it feels like it's never going to happen but it will do, you had good numbers, you are definitely ovulating which is great, sometimes it just takes time, I know that's not what you want but hang in there hunni, so thinking of you right now xxxxxxx

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Becks for your support and kind words. It means a lot. Been trying since 2008 but you are right at least i have had tests and i ov. Just think its not meant to be. 43 next month. Think i just had hopes for this month. Mind you i need to concentrate on getting a job as finish my current one 31 mar. Got money from when i was in RAF to tide me over but need to get focussed and hopefully then everything will come together.

 

[Oasis717]

You're very welcome xxx Wishing you lots of luck with the job hunting, did the doctor say anything about putting you on any kind of fertility treatment, just to give you a bit if a helping hand? Sometimes mother nature just needs a little push in the right direction xxx

 

[josie1234]

Thanks. Not yet no. Had to ring for my results and nothing else has been said as yet. Not sure whether to wait for hubby to get sample tested (28 mar) and to wait for his results before making future appointment. How are you feeling today?

 

[crazymam]

so sorry Josie, your chart looked so good too. please don't give up either. Mother nature has a funny way of doing things and it may well happen when you least expect it. On the positive side at least you know you are OV

 

[Left wonderin]

Jo big hugs coming your way from me , I totally understand your disappointment but please don't loose hope just yet . You are till a young healthy women , there is every probability you will have a baby , don't give up ........

Be like me I've made a pact with myself I'm on here till I have a baby or menopause starts whichever is sooner

 

[garfie]

Aw Jo - so sorry she got you at least on the positive you know you Od - I will probably be joining you on Friday we can be cycle buddies

Good luck with the job hunting - I am a stay at home mum (part time avon lady) sometimes I think about going back to work full time but then who would cope with my son's tantrums and meltdowns and more importantly who would cook hubby's tea

AFM - A bit confused today I woke up at 5.30 normal temping time 7.30 well if I use the 5.30 one it's above coverline if I use the normal time it's below - normally I would use the earlier but this time it makes such a difference visually aaaarrrrgh what would you ladies do (ps we know I'm not pregnant so it's just so she doesn't take me by surprise)

[josie1234]

Thanks ladies for the words of support. Left - loving your comment, lol. Well, I went to toilet and blood was brown (sorry if tmi), was red first thing this morning. Not going to cling to any hope though as always trying to makes excuses in the hope of a BFP.

Garf - I have a feeling your temp may go up tomorrow so today may be ov. See what happens hun.

Thanks again for your kind words. Have a good day. xx

 

[Oasis717]

Lisa when you come on can you tell me where you had your testing done? There's so many places on the internet and it's hard to know who's reputable or not, dh and myself are getting increasingly concerned with the NHS testing the more we look into it, thanks hun xxxx hope everyone is ok today, I don't know what's up with my sleep pattern, only slept 5 hours yet again xxx

 

[josie1234]

No blood now. Hmm.

 

[garfie]

Jo - where's your O date gone? - no blood hmmm very strange is she playing with you? or something else - fingers crossed it's something else

[josie1234]

Manually overrode settings before as thought ov was 20th. But put settings back to advanced (recommended). Not sure fully of when ov. Will check with doc when i see her.

 

[garfie]

Jo - Looks like we will be cycle buddies after all - just been to the loo and spotting - can't say I won't be pleased to see the back of this cycle (by the way witch take the sore boobs with you).

The worry now is (gosh there's always something) my lp is really really really short

[crazymam]

Josie all seems odd, have you not done a test?
Garfie they can sort your LP though, even some tweaks to your diet can help it too.
AFM just been to see midwife, my blood pressure nice and low, bmi 20.08 so good too. no chance of an early scan on nhs been told as they wont see me as high risk??!! apparently I am too healthy and as I went a full 9 months with my twins with no complications they wouldn't see another set of twins as problematic so need to scan early! And two miscarriages in a row is not a problem to them either So booking a private scan in for next week.
