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

[crazymam]

another note to add, before I fell pregnant I had bloods taken and my blood sugars were abnormally low? but they didn't feel this warranted any further investigation, but I think that's because the lab thought I had fasted, but I hadnt, I had a an omelette, followed by toast , a banana and fresh orange before bloods were taken

 

[josie1234]

Crazy - hope you had a better sleep last night. When do u get blood test results back?

Hows everyone today?

AFM - Booked doctors appointment for tomorrow morning to discuss things/test results. Temp seems a bit up and down so far. Hope u all have a good day x

 

[Left wonderin]

Well ladies ..... Temps dropped today...... Bfn........ The witch is on her way !

On to the next cycle , better be a big FAT HEALTHY EGG this month !!!!!!!

 

[crazymam]

Left - well on positive note time to get busy again and get that bfp!
Josie - your temps are still looking good though, They just said a couple of days so going to ring them tomorrow.
I woke up three times last night, keep getting a pain in my left hand side, but not sure if its simply because I am sleeping all night on my left hand side? The pain comes so I go to toilet then it starts to subside a bit.
Think I am just over analysing everything now, as you do x

 

[josie1234]

Left - sorry that your temp has dropped, but a chance to start new cycle and get that BFP.

Crazy - yes, every little pain/symptom will cause worry but at least you are being looked after and getting tests, good luck for the results xx

I am hoping that this month is the month, wish I'd started charting and knowing more about my body a lot sooner but I am hopeful that there will be a positive outcome after what that lady said/her prediction. Next time I am up North I am defo going to go and see her.

 

[crazymam]

Josie - whereabouts up north was she? is she actually a fortune teller? I live up north but some people class further south as up north lol Just wondering if I have heard of her x

 

[josie1234]

Crazy - it is Wingate nr Billingham. Teesside. She is beautician in my mates gym. All i know is she is called Lesley. Never met her before but was visiting my mate and i was shocked at the stuff she just come out with, out of the blue. Said i could go for a reading next time i am up. God knows how she knew stuff

 

[crazymam]

so that is north! I am in Tyneside, and billingham isn't that far really from where I am. been to dance competitions there x

 

[Peacenik]

Hello all, I'm 40, had my first BFP in Jan. after about 8 months of trying. I then had surgery for ectopic in Feb. I guess this is technically our first TTC month this time around. I'm scared and my mind's not fully on the TTC bandwagon just yet. I think that's mostly because I don't want to be disappointed, unrealistic or getting my hopes up too high since it took awhile the first time around. That damn clock is ticking away louder and louder though. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I ovulated in the middle of the night Monday/Tues morn. because of the cramps that work me up and I had a pos. OPK on Tues. We BD'd on Fri.,Sat., Mon. and Tues. so wish me luck guess.

Hi peacenik, really sorry to hear of your loss xx it sounds as if you have your bases covered for this month so wishing you loads luck I know the clock is ticking away for us all but there is hope, if you look at the first page of this thread it shows our ages so there's still time for everyone xxx
Hope everyone else is ok, the hour round trip walk to my son's pre school is a little harder now, thankfully I've got him in at the local Infant School which is just a few mins walk away and is a fantastic school so I will only have to do this walk until mid august when he leaves pre school. The lady that runs the pre school asked me today if I'm expecting so I must be showing lol, still feel nervous about people knowing but it would seem I can't hide it anymore!! Xxx

 

[crazymam]

sorry about your loss peacenik, but you are certainly not too old! You just have to keep trying. xx
Becks you are almost 16 weeks!!! where did the time go? x

 

[crazymam]

and next time you think you are too old ladies just think of halle berry who is pregnant again at 46 !

 

[Oasis717]

I know where did those 16 weeks go I remember sitting at my 8 week mw app and her saying that at 16 weeks I can start to relax as I'm out the major danger period, omg is Halle pregnant? That really, really gives me hope for another after this lo xxxx

 

[crazymam]

She certainly is Becks! Not sure IF I am allowed to post links but look on daily mail online, pictures of her 5 days ago looking fab! she was wearing a tight black sexy dress and showing off her bump. in second trimester, she looks fab

 

[dancareoi]

I saw that about Halle Berry, amazing, gives all of us oldies hope!

Peacenik, welcome and sorry for your loss. You are in a good place here as we have all been in the same boat and are going through this journey together. Your first plus on OPk is an indication you are about to OV, so from when you DTD it looks like all bases covered.

Regina, sorry its not your month on a plus point you have a very good LP.

Jo, I'm guessing your OV won't be far away based on last month!

Becks, you are a spring chicken compare to Halle!

Crazy and creative, hope you are both doing ok.

Fiona, big hugs.

 

[josie1234]

Hi Peacenik, welcome to the lucky thread. Sorry for your loss, it is tough and my heart goes out to you. I'm Jo, will be 43 this month and I have been ttc since Jun 2008 (seems so long ago) and had mc Jun last year. You are amongst friends here, people who understand what you are going through and seriously, I do worry that I am getting too old for another child but hey, whatever is good for Halle Berry is good for us all xx

Crazy - good ol' Tyneside. My family are from Teesside. Were you taking part in the dance competitions in Billingham? I used to go to school in Billingham and frequent the ice rink there on a Friday night years ago.

Becks - can't believe you are nearly 16 weeks, that has gone so quick. An hour round trip walk must be so tiring, bet you can't wait for August so you are a bit nearer. Aw that's so nice that people are asking and yes, you can't hide forever.

Lisa - yes gives us oldies hope, bet Halle looks fab, will have a look online. I am hoping my OV is soon. Neg on OPK earlier today. Seeing doctor tomorrow so see what they say.

Creative - how you doing today?

You ok Fiona?

My kids have told a couple of their friends but its still not common knowledge, although if they look at me properly there's no hiding it now I look huge!

I think more people will find out over the next few days.

We have practice in church tomorrow after school for DD holy communion on Sunday, so I am busy now sorting the house for a party after. Hoping it'll be dry so all the kids can go in the garden. There will be 9 kids 12 and under and there could be another 5 who are 13-18. All the lads will play football.

 

[Oasis717]

You'll have your hands full there Lisa! Hoping for good weather for you, I'm finally starting to relax a little then I scare myself and think if I do that I'll jinx it, daft I know! But I've told my closest friends now, I haven't seen them in ages and they were wondering why! A spring chicken lol I've not been called that for a while xxxx
Thanks ladies the time is going so quickly which is fine by me he faster the better and yes Jo can't wait for August!

Will check out the story about Halle, such encouraging news for us all, we're not over the hill yet!! Xxx

Hi everyone and welcome peacenik hope you find this thread as supportive as I do I'm in the same position as you 8 months trying , one loss at 12 weeks and 3rd cycle of trying . I'm 40 too heading to 41 in November . I'm still hopeful and so should you be . We are the babies of this group and if you notice nearly everyone else on it is pg !!

Now I'll have five mins of off loading and ill be done . I've felt really crappy today disappointed of course about bfn but also think that bfn just re awakens the pain and sadness about my loss . I should be 30 weeks today instead staring at a bfn it's so bloody unfair ! I've not lost hope by any stretch of the imagination but just feel really low and sad right now . Not about the bfn but about loosing my little soul I know everyone on here knows exactly how I am feeling and its so great to have you guys for to listen .

 

[josie1234]

Left - its understandable that you are sad. There is always something to remind you. I was pregnant this time last year but didnt know til May and then only had 4 weeks and then heartbreak. We understand hun. But you will get there and have BFP soon, this is the lucky thread after all. You know we are there for you and understand what you are going through xx
