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

[dancareoi]

We got another scan picture today, really clear picture of its spine! Will try and post later.

I will be 42 in August and this will be our last one. Hubby is 44 in August.

When Ii was PG with third, I said to myself I wouldn't put myself through all the worry again , having had MC before him., but here we are again.

I don't think I will ever lose the feeling or need to have more babies, but we need to stop at sometime!! If it had been up to hubby we would have stopped at 2!

My nausea lasted all night til 1.30am, couldn't sleep I felt so bad, that's the last time I post I feel better lol. Looking forward to the pic Lisa, I think we will try for one more after this one, dh is half Italian, loves big families!! Xxx

 

[josie1234]

Lisa - looking forward to seeing the scan, take it easy hun. Aw Becks, bet you are tired. Left - lol at your niece ruling the house!

Feeling a bit rough today, headache, nausea, slight cramp. I am hoping for one more baby, just one that is mine and my DH as we haven't got one together so it would be really nice. Pleased to say that my DS football has been cancelled today due to the snow so no freezing by the side of the pitch, lol - bad mother! Hope you all have a good day x

How is everyone today?
Cant wait to see your new scan piccies Lisa!
I think I am the oldest possibly? I am 43, I will be 44 by the time this little one arrives.My midwife said it is much more common than you think now for them to see women in their forties and pregnant so certainly don't give up hope ladies!
Feeling sickly again today, boobs hurting even more. still tired too. Oh and my skin is dreadful, has been since I took first test. Not spotty just blotchy and pimples underneath the skin. I am always like that first three months though.
This is my last though, I just wanted a baby with my partner as he doesn't have any .
I want to see the look of joy on his face when he holds his baby for the first time more than anything, what better way to show someone how much you love them. Look at me my hormones are making me far too soppy!

My DH is Irish Catholic. Well he was born in uk but both his parents are southern Irish. His mom is one of 9 and his dad one of 10!

We have loads of snow again. Snowed Thursday night and then started again yesterday afternoon and its still snowing! When will it ever stop.



This is the best I could do.

me too

I'm older... I'm 44 now so will be a couple of months off 45 when this one arrives. I bet I am the wrinkliest!!!

This is my last though, I.

My last too. If this one flies then I won't try again.

My boobs are like rocks this morning and are killing me everytime they touch anything. (that can only be good of course) symptoms are good even though I am starting to feel very queezy now. I got a massive shaking attack last night.

 

[crazymam]

well creative I think this thread just throws the statistics for the over 40's out the window then haha
I couldn't make much out Lisa, except for the spine I think? Think it was too dark for my laptop. But must feel great to see another scan and know everything still ok with baby x

No. We will have NHS scan at 20 weeks, but no plan for a 4d at moments.

I will

Nice pic Lisa. Spine and head really clear. I dont know whats wrong with me today, moody, fed up, teary. Like AF is due. Which cant be right as on CD5.

Afternoon Ladies

Supposed to be doing my paperwork for avon - but stopped for a cuppa and a catch up

Lisa - Wonderful scan pic hun - lovely and clear

Josie - Aw cycle buddy - cheer up hun - at least were in this together

Creative - What was the shaking for was you cold or is that before you are sick?

Oasis - We are hoping for just one more and that will be me done (let's hope the FS has a magic cure) as my time is running out although I'm 42 in August it doesn't fit in with hubby retirement plans to have a baby any later than this year however if the FS starts me on treatment well I would say hubby is over ruled

Crazy - Glad you are having lots of nice symptoms

AFM - CD5 and an almost pos OPK - so not sure what is happening but hopefully I know what will be happening tonight when the kids are in bed

[josie1234]

Cheers Garf, your chart is similar to last months for these last few days. Fingers crossed for you.

Seriously, this is how I am normally before AF, really depressed, crampy, backache, teary, moody. Just don't understand what is happening. What is my body doing????

 

[Left wonderin]

So does that make me the baby of the group ? 40 since November ? Lol....... God I could end up with 5 lol.... And your right it does blow the stats out of the window . Garfie and Jo Im cd 4 so a day behind ya both . Won't start poas till day 6 I think . Think I o/v on cd15 but who knows. Hoping temping this month will ahead some light .

Oasis I'm sorry and delighted your feeling unwell

 

[Oasis717]

Lol thank you, been bad all day, went for dinner with dh family and could only manage some garlic bread, struggling to eat but forced something down when I got in, so much for feeling better! Xxx

 

[dancareoi]

Glad you are still feeling bad sorry though that it is stopping you from enjoying your food

I felt a bit sick before my tea tonight, felt a bit better whilst eating and then felt a bit sticky again after! So it is still hanging around for me.

 

[Oasis717]

Thank you xxx it's horrible there's literally nothing I want to eat, it's like my appetite has just completely gone, dh took me shopping after to get some dinner as I ate nothing out but I just didn't want a thing, I used to love my food, really look forward to weekends and all the lovely food dh cooks for me, he should have been a chef he's a fantastic cook and cooks most nights work permitting, but now everything is just horrible I enjoy nothing, I don't remember ever being like that before, I hope it goes soon, looks like I got two days grace with the nausea then once again it's back with a vengence! Xxx

 

[crazymam]

hows everyone today?
still no snow for us but its freezing and very windy. woke up this morning and don't feel as tired as I have been lately but still cant seem to satisfy my appetite on a morning. Felt sick right up until bedtime last night, felt a little bit sickly this morning but it tends to to kick in about mid day then stays with me until bedtime.
But feel like I have a bit more energy today. although it is sunday and I haven't done anything yet!

 

[Oasis717]

We've had a little snow overnight but here too it's absolutely freezing! Am watching a carry on film in bed, it is Sunday dh and ds are asleep next to me bless them, ds got up too early so is having a mid morning snooze! I went to bed early last night as I felt too ill to be awake but seems ok so far this morning, I seem not too bad in mornings xx

 

[dancareoi]

We,ve got about 4 inches of snow here and freezing cold too.
Felt really sicky again this morning and heaved up a bit of bile!

 

[Oasis717]

Aw when will it stop Lisa! I've been slightly better today, but nausea from dinner on again, boobs are literally killing today, they've hurt non stop since 4 weeks, they stopped hurting at 3 months with ds so hoping might be the same, had a lazy day today just doing housework etc, too cold to go out, just about to watch a horror film with dh, I love a good horror! Xxx
