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

[josie1234]

Aw bless him, hope it goes soon. Blimey he is growing up eh? How is he sleeping? Is the cough keeping him awake?

Thank you.

Glad that you are loving the app, it helps to find something that works for you and you can stick with. Also adding resistance to anything you do makes you work harder. You can do step ups on the stairs (on bottom stair) and have weights in your hand (or even hold cans of food, anything that you can hold safely) and see how many step ups you can do in a minute. Then another day compare times. You can also do it for longer. Keep it up hun, doing well xx

Thanks all, I saw message too late to ask for stronger painkillers, I was dozing off with ones I took and OH said I was crying in my sleep on the sofa yesterday afternoon, I thought I managed to sleep away a few hours of pain but obviously I was still feeling it... he even got me a hot water bottle and put it on my tummy... he has been brilliant.. I think I have passed all of the clots now as I am feeling less pain. He said that he does not want me to go through that again as he feels its his fault, I said for him not to be silly... he has gone and bought 3 months supply of the mens vitamin tablets and asked me to feed him only good rich healthy foods, so hopefully that will help. x

Jo - Sorry to see you and DH have argued, myself and OH do have a blast out now n again where he will walk off I too think its because we are all TTC and emotions are high.. I see you two are both stubborn too? I just send a text saying.... "I still love you" and he gives in and replies back the same thing then we get talking again.. Hope your able to break the ice xxx

AFM now I am off to see my urologist (as I keep getting kidney stones) and then off to my gp(as I have got an infection in my nose after operation) then im coming home and cuddling up on sofa with my ugly dog..(Pug A Pom). Its half term so nice to have my DS home for company as it takes my mind off my horrific weekend x

 

[Soanxious]

Sparkle sorry to hear about the cyst.. not nice having to wait either

Tilly I BD every day... ok.. im a nympho so think I don't BD just when I have AF visiting.. (blushes)

Becks way to go!! with the weight loss / walking / calories

But thanks to everyone thats been here for me this time its been a nice support knowing I have people that know what I was going through xxxx means a lot to me.x

How do I get my OV chart on here? I may as well try this temping thing.. I joined my fertility friend... will be back later late for hosp app oops xxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Tanya so sorry it's been such an awful weekend for you, not to mention kidney stones and an infection in your nose you poor luv so great your oh is so good, you sound like you're being well looked after. Yes doing well on the diet. Had a few moments when I opened the goody cupboard (kids lunches etc) looked at everything (probably drooling lol) then said out loud to myself oh no you don't madam and promptly shut the cupboard and walked away!! So I've had a few wobbles but still not cheated. The ap helps cause it's great to see everything written down. I feel like I've got a mountain to climb though with wanting to loose 3 stone to get back to a size 10/12 so I'm trying not to think of the bigger picture and just thinking in half stones xxx
Jo thanks again. Will be pushing Brooklyn to the school and Asda later and him and the Silver Cross pushchair are a workout in themselves pushing them so lots if resistance there I think. I'm still finding the hills a little hard work when I used to sprint up them before but hoping as I keep it up and as time goes on it will be easier. Will be weighing myself Thursday after a week to see what the damage is lol. Tbh it's keeping my mind off ttc as I do tend to get a little obsessed with peeing on things and temperatures etc! Xxx

 

[crysshae]

Thanks ladies. I'm fine. You are right - Onwards and Upwards!

Tanya - Sounds your like you have a wonderful DH taking good care of you. I'm sorry your weekend was so terrible. I hope the kidney stones don't cause you any more problems, that your infection heals quickly without issues and that your rainbow shows up right after this storm.

To share your chart, click on "Sharing" on the bar at the top. Then click "Get Code". To place your tiny chart in your signature, copy the "Chart Thumbnail" link.

Becks - Poor little guy. Those coughs linger forever. I hope it's not much longer for him to get rid of it. Great job with the good cupboard! I was able to stay away from the pantry this weekend too! It was beautiful, and I spent most of the day outside both days, walking, cleaning my car, etc. Hopefully I did some damage.

Jo - How are you feeling? Did you and DH sort things out? I keep feeling like I missed a post about it, but I can't find it.

Tilly - Good luck!

Fi - Hope the cold leaves you soon.

AFM - DH finally got me on his motorcycle yesterday. I rather enjoyed it. Learned a few things for the next ride, like how to keep my hair from tangling, and I've gotta have something to cover my ears - can't stand that much wind in them, but I think I'm gonna like it. He is thrilled - was like a kid in a candy store happy that I rode with him. It's funny as I get older I enjoy things I didn't before and am willing to try more things than I did when I was younger. I think most people do that the other way around. Lol.

I feel like the supplements have done wonders for my hormones already, praying that will just continue to get better. My libido and mood were so much better after O this time around. Great things alone. Add the better egg quality they are supposed to help with and

DH even noticed my mood was better. He said he kept waiting for the mood change and never saw it, so that's why he finally asked me Friday night "Did it take?" (did we get pregnant) Lol.

 

[Oasis717]

Lol Crystal I'm the same! Def more adventurous now, sounds like you had a blast and it was another beautiful sunny day after picking up ds 5 from school we all walked to do the shopping so another 100 mins of exercise! I've burnt 1,231 calories today! It's gotta come off if I do this every day lol. Mind you I've got nothing done indoors so getting cracking now xx
Sorry Jo I forgot to say no Brooklyns cough doesn't bother him at night thankfully and he's stopped waking now after a brief spell of a couple of weeks waking at 4.30 am so he sleeps from about 9 or 10 til 7.30/8 xxx

 

[josie1234]

Becks - that's good that's the cough isn't waking him up. He is a good boy isn't he x Well done at burning all those calories. Achieving small goals lead to achieving larger goals. Also good work at avoiding temptation (that's the hardest bit). A lot of weight loss is the food. Make sure that it is smaller portions, healthy snacks, lots of water. Everything in moderation. Also eating breakfast is important. Don't be misled by these breakfast bars, most of them are lots of sugars. Porridge is the best or scrambled egg with brown toast.

Crystal - I am feeling a bit better thanks. I have just come back from taking the second bootcamp of the day and had another new fella. It was a 1000 rep challenge. Awesome lol. 100 reps of 10 different exercises but you can break it down. I have text DH and we have had texts today and we are going to speak on phone tonight. I feel more positive as I have had a busy day and also booked my acupuncture for Thursday so I am looking forward to that. Sounds like you had a fab time on the motorcycle and your DH will be chuffed that you are taking an interest. I am glad that the supplements are helping. I am finding that mine are too, lots more pos opks and today (tmi alert) I have had lots of EWCM. Shame about the timing though lol. It's just my moods aren't great but hopefully they are picking up.

It is so busy on here, I am losing track on responding to people lol.

 

[Oasis717]

Lol it is busy Jo! I'm really glad you are dh are texting now, and wow I thought I did well with all the walking today but bootcamp sounds v hard!! Maybe when I've lost weight lol. Walking back from Asda dd 13 was munching cheese and onion crisps, omg you'd think I hadn't eaten a crisp in years how much I wanted to eat them but nope. Abstaining! I've been eating low fat yoghurt and banana for breakfast, it's hard sticking to 1,200 calories so I find eating less at breakfast when I'm least hungry saves some calories, although I know you're supposed eat more than that I find it hard first thing. Xxx

 

[Soanxious]

Becky, I hope that your keeping up the water as I find that the biggest help, also get some options hot chocolate for when you feel you need sugar have a hot cup of that and it helps and should stop any near miss(goody cupboard) and thats a good work out with the pram for every lb I lose I look at the packets of lard in the supermarket.. and list it up and when you lose a few lbs you can imagine by looking at lots of packets of lard... that incentive is great..knowing you had that amount of fat on you

Crystal the bike sounds fun, it will be nice to get out in the fresh air and enjoy the thrills together What supplements are you taking?

Jo its nice to see that your both texting and going to talk tonight what supplements are you on too? and shame about the EWCM coming today x

Thanks for the info will try and put the chart on there now x

 

[Soanxious]

I must be thick, I can't seem to add the ov chart here

 

[josie1234]

Ovaboost agnus castus and don quai. Seems to be helping my cycle. Just need af to come so I can start afresh. Not sure if I need to stop taking them if I ovulate. Thats if I ovulate or know if I have ov. Hoping this acupuncture helps. Me and DH spoke. He is really sorry. Things need to change though. I am fed up of doing everything. Early night for me. Tired.

 

[crysshae]

Jo - I'm glad you and DH are texting. I hope you have a nice conversation tonight.

Tanya - The supplements I believe are helping with my hormones are OvaBoost and possibly royal jelly. I know the royal jelly helps with egg quality at least. As I lost two pregnancies very early (5 weeks or less) and had a chemical last month, I decided to start looking into quality boosting supplements. The myo-inositol and melatonin in OvaBoost apparently help balance estrogen too.

I'm also taking prenatals, fish oil, CoQ10, calcium, magnesium, folic acid, and baby aspirin.

 

[crysshae]

Jo - I hope y'all can figure out a way to work it out for both of you. Get some rest.


Tanya - Did you copy the chart thumbnail and paste it in your signature?

 

[Soanxious]

Jo I take those too except the OvaBoost I will look into that now, Im glad your both talking now, maybe thats what was needed to maybe get some extra support ? Where do you get ovaboost from? I know you have to stop the one thing when you get pregnant but forgot what one it was... out of the don quai and angus castus

Crystal I will try that royal jelly im taking the pregnancy vitamins they already have folic acid in do we need to add more? and whats this baby asprin I am seeing so much about online? where do you get it from? do you stop things when pregnant?
Im also drinking pineapple juice daily. I put the link in my signature and it just shows the link not the actual chart xx

 

[crysshae]

It's my understanding baby aspirin helps with blood flow. It's one of those things that can't hurt, so I figured I'd go with it. My DH has been taking it for years anyway. It's an 81 mg aspirin. You can buy the baby kind to chew or the adult kind to swallow.

OvaBoost says to stop it when you confirm pregnancy. I believe baby aspirin can be taken through the first tri...must double check that. And I'd have to research the royal jelly too.

You copied the link. Use the one below that. It says "Chart Thumbnail" above it.

 

[Soanxious]

Crystal I tried them all to no joy, lol some were showing links, others had the my ovulation chart wording for people to click on then sent to a blank page im thick when it comes to this, it has HTML chart thumbnail or BBcode chart thumbnail etc. all confusing thanks for trying.. where did you buy the baby asprin and ovaboost? x

 

[Soanxious]

Have people purchased membership with them?

 

[crysshae]

You have to use the BBCode one and make sure you have the entire link and it is not "touching" any other wording in your signature. I can click on it where it says "My Ovulation Chart", but it doesn't show your chart.

I buy the baby aspirin just at the local Wal-Mart. OvaBoost I bought from Amazon, but I'm in the states. Jo listed a link where she bought it over there a few days ago.

 

[crysshae]

Here is the link for OvaBoost.

Fi - It's in stock now.

 

[crysshae]

I have a membership with FF. I like the little extras you get with VIP access. And it's usually actually way cheaper than the sales price they show.
