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

[Sparkle125]

Hey Ladies!

Hope everyone is having a good week. Some of these charts are looking good!

AFM: I joined the club and started a diet today. The medications I take for IVF are notorious for weight gain. But, I need to be honest with myself and admit that my nutrition and portion sizes are not where they should be. I keep thinking, "well, I'll be pregnant soon so I don't need to worry about losing now." Well, almost a year later, and that hasn't happened yet. I have gained WAY TOO much to ignore it any longer! SO, here I go! I really hope I am pregnant soon, and I also hope that I can control the amount of weight I gain throughout my pregnancy. Starting this new plan will put me in a good healthy spot.

Lisa: I am Jennifer. (Jenn) I am 40. TTC through IVF. I am a SMC (single mother by choice).

Wow lots of exciting symptoms and charts going on in here

AFM - She got me on Sunday - how could she not with that temp drop but the good news FF gave me back my CH - and I got to a 28 day cycle had acu last night and she is pleased with my progress - it seems the huge huge dip I had is related to my old cycle - so now she is trying to keep the chinese liver clear so the blood continues to flow nicely for at least 5 days told her I will be sending her a bill for more tampax

Have a lovely sunny day ladies

Becks - Yay for crosshairs. How are you feeling today?

Tanya - Did your temp go up again?

Tilly - Fingers crossed you caught the egg with all your trying!

Fi - Sorry about AF, but glad your acupuncturist is pleased.

Jenn - Good luck on the diet!

AFM - FF makes no sense sometimes. It says make sure you put in all your info, especially your CM. If you forget to enter CM, then during your entire LP, it tells you "We could only decide your O date by temps. You really should enter CM info for a more accurate analysis." I enter all my CM this month, and it wants to only use my temps to pick O date. I played with it and found if I entered 2 more high temps after today, it picks CD 16. If I just changed one of my low temps by a tenth of a degree, it picked CD13 for my O date. Also, if I change the tuner to Research (which has the most advanced info - just not stable because it changes as they find things), it chooses CD13. I know my temp was way lower than usual, but why isn't the advanced tuner using everything to make the decision like it is supposed to do? Even with those low temps, I can still see the pattern... So I entered my own crosshairs.

 

[crysshae]

Okay...Now FF is just being annoying. I was looking back over charts, and after all was said and done and over, it has decided to change my O date for last month from CD14 to CD12. Why? And it doesn't even look even a little bit right.

 

[Left wonderin]

Firstly Dance you should set up a buisness predicting charts ! You called it with Becks before she posted she got her crosshairs ! Sean,s full name is Sean Joseph Bowe , born 22/2/2014 @2.04am weighing 8lb (3.65kg) . Are you breast feeding still , is that why you have not gotten AF ? Mmm pity would love to BF until 6 months but also want to ttc again sooner rather than later lol. Six months might just be soon enough lol...

Ill be joining ya all on the healthy eating thing next week ( no diet for me as BF ) but that does not mean I can pig out on chocolate, Chrisp, fried food etc which I have been lol

The weather here is lovely today Garfie sounds like acupuncture is making some changes to your body and cycle all very positive but can I ask what is a Chinese liver ????

 

[Oasis717]

Hey Crystal! Ff is well annoying sometimes and not always right!! Dont blame you for putting your own crosshairs in I'm feeling ok just had two days of cramps now which is odd but I've had a lot of stress so could be ibs although it's radiated from the right hand side so I don't know? Xxx.
Regina lovely to hear from you. Brooklyns nearly 5 months so def after this cycle we will be giving it our all. We've tried but not a 100% and my cycles only seem to be settling now xxxxx

 

[Soanxious]

Hi girls,

Becks and Tanya i think you are both 2 dpo!

Haven't studied any other charts, will do if I get a moment

Feeling left out of all this charting but saying that I still haven't had AF since Caitlin was born!

I've tried to update first page but without looking back, I am missing some info. If you have any relevant info let me know and I'll update it.

Regina, hope all is going well. If u get a chance can you give Sean's middle name, date of birth and weight?

Caitlin had a weetabix again this morning and wolfed it down, going to do 1 1/2 tomorrow! Gave her a purée of potato and carrot tonight, it wasn't very tasty , but with a bit of face pulling she ate it!

I have had a temp drop today is it supposed to keep rising?

My little ones loved weetabix, nice and filling for them too and I don't blame her pulling a face at potato and carrot after nice weetabix lol have you tried Sweet potato and carrot? a sweeter natural taste?

Good luck with the Diet and with IVF shame the meds make you gain weight

What a beautiful full name my daughter was born on 22/02/94 at 1.01am haha

Your allowed to enjoy food whilst bf.. that was my excuse for bf

 

[Oasis717]

Tanya the crosshairs show you ovulated the vertical line shows the ovulation day and the horizontal line shows your cover line which is just a guide really to your average temp before ovulating giving you crosshairs you get them when ff deduces you have ovulated xxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Tanya we are both 3dpo lol xxx

 

[Oasis717]

Jenn great about starting the diet! I need to get back on track with mine as it went to pot last week with all the work at home and it was our 2nd wedding anniversary yest so I need to start again too! Xx.

Don't worry hunni that's a tiny dip and perfectly normal! Xxx

 

[Soanxious]

Becks- Thanks that explains it now I was a bit confused.. and YAY! thats mad us both being 3DPO fingers crossed for us xxx

 

[Soanxious]

Oh glad the dip is normal.. I am still having bad breast pain.. really not had it this bad before..cant take a bra off... could asprin do that? can't think of anything else I have changed.

 

[Oasis717]

Well anything out of the norm is good I say!! I don't think the aspirin would do that so must be hormones mine are only slightly tender but they usually are around ovulation. Apart from those cramps which seem to have gone now nothing out if the ordinary for me! I did get two days of cramps when I ovulated with Brooklyn then another two days right before I got my bfp which I think were implantation cramps. Who knows! It is mad us being 3dpo and Crystal is only one day ahead! Wouldn't it be funny if we all got bfp's lol xxxx

 

[Soanxious]

It would be mad if we did all get BFP's it would be lovely, when will you test? I think my test showed up around 7dpo last few times. My problem is keeping them in womb hence asprin now... xx
