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

[crysshae]

Nope. I've been good and not bought any tests so I couldn't be tempted. I threw away the tests I had when we moved. When I came across anything TTC, I just threw it all away. I guess I was still a bit upset about it.

I hope you get some answers that will help you get the ball rolling to help things along.

Fi - your comments did make me chuckle slightly. Woman, we do have our ways eh? I can't think of anything off the top of my head at the moment but will have a think. lol.

Hope you get medication sorted for your DS. It must be hard for you.

Regina - haven't forgotten you hun, hope you are ok and nesting, lol. I am getting so excited for you.

AFM - CD 51, no symptoms apart from dry CM for last couple of days. Spoke to my mum today, we weren't talking about ttc or anyting but something was mentioned in the conversation about hot flushes so I asked when she had menopause so she was going on about how it can start from your 40's but can take 10 years. Asked if I was having hot flushes etc, I said no. So then she said, the best thing you can do is go on the pill. You don't want to chance getting pregnant near menopause as she knows someone that did and lost the baby 2 days later. Family eh? Certainly know how to put a damper on things. We don't really talk about me ttc but she knows we still are, I think.

Af for me ladies, out of no where no spotting nothing! Oh well me and dh are hoping that my cycle is just resetting itself as they do say it can take up to 3 months to get back to normal so will carry on charting. At least o was on track! Xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Becks - hope cycles settle soon for you xxx

Not sure if link works. What are your thoughts.? Heard of any of these?

Becks sorry about Af , even with ff dates that is a short LP, but still early days after Brooklyn, your hormones are probably not settled yet. We'll keep chart stalking and offer advice xx

Jo, interesting reading. Ties in with what my acupuncturist said about poor blood quality and how to improve it. I listed a few food a few posts back, but I remember now he said about getting plenty of protein.

He said eggs were one of the best things and to eat at least 2 every day. Previously I had heard you should eat no more than 2 a week due to cholesterol . He advised being stressed can increase your levels more than 14 eggs a week .

Worth eating a 2 egg spinach omelette for lunch every day, nothing to lose.

I would also highly recommend finding an acupuncturist in your area, I am sure they would be able to sort your body out.

Found this is Cambridge area

Thanks Lisa. I have been out shopping. Just eaten spinach omelette for lunch. Got grapefruit juice, kale, pumpkin seeds, spinach, eggs, Kerry butter. Fingers crossed. I am not losing hope. And the fact my mum said to go on the pill is making me more determined!! lol.

 

[crysshae]

You actually need cholesterol to make hormones. That's where they come from.

Sorry about AF Becks, but your body is probably just trying to get back to normal. We will definitely continue to stalk and be jealous of your charts.

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Crystal. How are you today? Temps still looking good. When will you test? I am waiting on tenterhooks for your updates.GL hun xx

 

[dancareoi]

Tummy time!

 

[Oasis717]

Lol thanks Crystal! Good luck with the food Jo, really hope it helps and Lisa, what a gorgeous pic!!! Xxx

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Becks, hope you are not too disappointed with your cycle hun, next one will hopefully will be more settled.

Lisa - lovely photo, Caitlin seems so grown up since last photo.

Crystal - looking forward to seeing your temp tomorrow.

DH home on Sunday so fingers crossed my cycle settles into some sort of pattern. Hoping that I ov. I am starting to think I did not ov and hoping I do have another cycle starting despite having no AF. We will see. Will carry on with temps and opks at the moment. See what results from blood tests say. At least my CM is not so dry (has been for last few days), sorry if tmi.

 

[josie1234]

Hey Regina - how's it going? Hope you are ok xx

 

[crysshae]

Well...I found myself at Wal-Mart all alone last night, caved, and bought tests. Since they were in the house, I had to try one out of course. Lol. Here's a pic. It's blurry. Can't be sure if I see anything or not...

 

[crysshae]

They grow up too fast, Lisa! She's such a doll.

Good luck, Jo. I hope your cycle gets in gear.

 

[Soanxious]

Crystal - temps looking good still. Any tests done yet?

Becks - I agree, still looking good, not out yet.

Looking forward to the updates. FX xxx

Fi - tried to get hold of teacher but no joy and then she tried to call me today but I was at work and busy so couldn't answer. Hopefully get to speak to them tomorrow but told them I couldn't see anything on their policies about damages and unless they prove it was him, I ain't paying! Thing is, he doesn't make things easy for himself, if he doesn't like the teacher then he doesn't make the effort. No matter what I say to him. With your DS, that's terrible, they should inform any new teachers/stand in's the situation. That's not the way to go about things eh? No wonder he walked out. There's ways of handling situations and surely they should be trained or at least briefed!

So - how are you today hun x

Lisa - Thanks, I know its best just to wait until bloods are done to see what the results are. Wondering whether to take Royal Jelly or something to lower FSH, just in case it is high. I am up and down with it all, one minute I think I am ok with things and the decision of ttc is taken from me so maybe no stress but on another vein, I am angry that I wasn't informed/updated earlier so I could have taken precautions/actions to improve the chances. No point thinking about it until I get the results but in a way I feel like it is all over.

Hiya, Im ok today thanks, I forgot to mention that a midwife advised me on something from holland and barratt to help conceive its called angus castus and for people with hormone imbalance they say don quai so if anyone is in need then these are a good thing to try...the midwife is a friend of a friend and she was having problems later in life to get pregnant and she tried them and got stick bean x 2. It was something I tried and not sure if thats what helped me, I just need one to stick now.

You speak to a lot of people so maybe it may help others?

hows your little one? x

Lisa - You want to know what I'm planning - well after 4 + years of trying and being together for 7 years I have to try and keep one step ahead - especially with him saying he's not sure

So I have tried the sexy undies, the phone calls, role play, mild submission/domination, accents etc so I have one more idea left - I sent him a text yesterday saying I had a sexy dream about him - I wrote a few lines and then today I wrote some more (last night he was begging me to tell him the rest) I said no I will tell you a little bit each day (actually it wasn't all that sexy but he doesn't need to know that )

Well last night we er.........early I know but if a few lines can get him going just imagine when I really get into the dream hopefully that will be around O time

So that's my plan - oh and just in case he was up for it I used a bit on the pre seed as well - not much as I want the major amount to be for the correct time

We were also discussing holidays and how (when I get to the gym) I will have a sexy beach body - I said what if I got pg before hand and this is where he confuses me - he said well you will have a sexy pg beach body

So I think I will carry on with my texting and using the pre seed.

Do feel free to share any other ideas you ladies may have - I may need some more next month

Becks - I had implantation bleeding with a few of my pregnancies - didn't know at the time that's what it was though good luck

Josie - I'm having major problems with my DS I think I'm going to have to go back to the specialist and adjust his medication he chased his brother with a knife this morning it was just a knife you use for your tea but all the same - he now has no internet (except for homework)

Lisa - So if Becks is 8DPO she had a dip yesterday right? - hows that gorgeous little girl of yours - hope she's letting you sleep more

So -

Cry - Where are you at in your cycle (sorry just stalking and then get distracted)

Regina - How long now? - any ideas on your birth plan? how you would like it to pan out

AFM - I'm not allowing hubby near me tonight - maybe tomorrow



X

thanks for the hugs..

gotta laugh at your not so sexy dream but he dont need to know that.

I do that with my other half sometimes.. if I know he is knackered from work and I need nookie as im ovulating.. great minds hey haha!

 

[Soanxious]

Thanks Lisa. I have been out shopping. Just eaten spinach omelette for lunch. Got grapefruit juice, kale, pumpkin seeds, spinach, eggs, Kerry butter. Fingers crossed. I am not losing hope. And the fact my mum said to go on the pill is making me more determined!! lol.

im going to buy most of that tomorrow. In hollan and barrat or other health food shops they sell Angus Castus and Don Quai my friends friend who is a midwife reccomended them I forgot I used them last yr and fell pregnant but stopped when I got pregnant in oct. then done it again in nov after mc and packed them away to move house and got pregnant without them in dec/new yr when mc again.. but apparently most of her friends all over 35 all fell pregnant and had healthy babies from using this... maybe something else you can try?

 

[Soanxious]

I went to my Gp and she is sending me to my gynaecologist as its been 2 definite mc after positive tests and 2 losses that seem identical to losses, so im hoping I may get some nice news and support.

 

[crysshae]

Good luck So. I've heard of both of those supplements. Good luck with those and the gyne!

How did I miss Fi's long post? Lol at your not so sexy dream that got you sexy time. Mine would hound me too if I told him about a dream. I'm always in the mood near O, so I always text mine something sexy to get his motor going too. Good luck!
