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

[dancareoi]

It's so hard, especially for a chocoholic!

Haven't had any choc today but ate biscuits instead!

Going in to work for a couple of hours tomorrow am. Usually helps win eating as nothing to pick on but some of our contractors have brought stuff in for Xmas and there are quality streets and thorntons chocs !

Oooo yummy I can't resist stuff like that! If it's there I eat it lol xxxx

Taken this morning - 15 weeks today

Such a sweet smile!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who can't walk by sweets.

Did y'all cut any of that out when you were trying, or did you just continue as usual other than adding prenatals? I hear talk of people saying to stop this and stop that and take this and that. I never did when I was younger, but I didn't know if it was "necessary" now that I'm older.

I started eating more eggs, proper butter, kale, spinach and brocolli, all of which can help improve things. My acupuncturist said this would help improve my blood quality.

Thank you, Lisa.

Also good cuts of steak, not overcooked. Beetroot was another thing,
I also took pregnacare conception tablets



Took this too when getting dd from school

Dance what a little pet she is . She has changed sooo much . She really is in the world now

Cry the only thing I did which was recommended to me by a friend was to eat 5 Brazil nuts a day after ov to help,with implantation ! Apparently there is a science behind it , something to do with the oil in the nuts ? Well anyway first time I did it I ended up with my BFP so. Might just be something to it !

 

[crysshae]

Thank you ladies! I appreciate the help.

Love the ears, Lisa! She's too cute!

 

[Left wonderin]

You have to eat 5 a day every day till either BFP or AF ! Not just 5 as a once off

 

[Oasis717]

I gave up alcohol completely and took pregnacare vitamins beautiful pic Lisa she's such a smasher xxxx

Regina - I've heard that about avocadoes and possibly eggs too. Have you heard about that, if it's the same thing? I like avocadoes better than Brazil nuts. Lol. I like some nuts, but Brazil nuts have never been my favorite. Don't get me wrong, I would eat them if it would help, just wondering if the things I like do the same thing.

I hardly drink. It's probably been 6 months or more since I've had even a taste, so I'm good there, although I might imbibe a bit on New Year's Eve just for fun. That'll be around the time AF is showing anyway.

I looked at Pregnacare. Good price, but it will take 18-26 days to get them! I wonder if the US has something comparable. I'm going to research.

 

[Oasis717]

I'm sure they have Crystal they'll do an alternative, it's been 20 months since I last had alcohol lol xxx

Hi all, loving the piccies, little cuties, they are. I have been busy trying to get organised for Christmas and working but I have still been stalking. No news from me, really tired and bad headache today

Hope everyone else is ok. x

 

[Oasis717]

Sorry to hear that Jo hope you feel better soon xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Morning ladies how are you all?

Bit disappointed in my temps at the moment.

 

[garfie]

Hi Ladies

How are we? - still stalking you all - loving the bootiful pics of your little darlings

AFM - Just very busy at the moment - seems like everyone wants a piece of me - if I'm not working my friends are suggesting lunch/meetings etc and of course like most of us there's still the housework left to do. At the moment I am having difficulties with Wills and his autism - I seem to be called into school a lot - not sure if it's just because he is out of his routine

Also wth how long is my LP going to be this month? - do you think stress can delay af - surely it can't be a BFP not with those low temps?

Is it you left who is up next with a delivery from the stork



X

 

[Oasis717]

I think stress can delay ovulation which in turn delays af from what i remember reading, I signed in to ff today as I'm ovulating and will be charting from next cycle to get a feel for how my cycles will be before ttc which I'm still not sure when we will! It's funny as I'm ovulating but I only had one episode of a small amount of blood and I was expecting it to be very heavy etc, strange! Funny to be using opks it feels like forever since I poas!!! Xxxx

 

[crysshae]

Jo - Comparing to your previous chart, your temps seem to be on track. Hopefully you'll ovulate in the next few days since you ovulated CD20 last time. Good luck!

Fiona - Have you tested? If you do have a BFP, your temps may have just stabilized.

Becks - Have fun POASing again! Lol.

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Crystal. I will try to post pic of opk. Think it is nearly pos. No digis so no smiley face to confirm.

Becks - good luck with POAS.
Garf - yes I think ov and af can be delayed with stress.

Pic too large to post on here.
