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

[crysshae]

Becks and Tanya - I'm sorry the ICs are causing you confusion. I hope it becomes more clear soon.

Tilly - 5 dpo is very early. If you want to chart, we are all here to help you. FF gives you all the information you need and lets you chart for free, and in the beginning, you can even try the VIP membership for free. Just click on one of our charts, and it will take you to the site. Also, I don't remember what Wal-Mart is called over there, but that's where I bought my basal thermometer for only $7.

Fi - Sounds like a fun weekend. Do you think you did O early?

Jo - I'm glad your doctor agreed to more tests. Much better to have them done earlier in your cycle.

AFM - Just waiting. DH and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary this past Saturday. Time flies!

 

[Soanxious]

Crystal -Walmart = Asda in UK the Pharmacy there may have them

Wow 17 years thats wonderful!!! how fab!!

yeah tests are nightmare.. going with my body.. and it says NO lol x

 

[Oasis717]

Me too Tanya I had these tingly boobs and nausea last cycle and was fooled! Progesterone causing pmt and early pregnancy symptoms are just impossible to tell which is which. Dh bought me a Superdrug Early test in town but I'm loathe to waste one of them if I'm honest. Brooklyn can now fully roll over on the carpet not just on the bed where he has help from the duvet lol. He can roll over and over again so no more feeling safe when I put him down watching him like a hawk commencing lol xxxx Crystal many congrats on your anniversary, that's wonderful. Me and dh have 15 years to go to get to there xxx

 

[crysshae]

Thanks ladies. Ya'll will get there and beyond, Becks.

I know how ya feel about not wanting to use a more expensive test, but those darn ICs make you want to use it because you don't know which ones are right! Ugh!

Just an extra tidbit about us - We knew each other less than 2 months before we got married. Lol.

 

[Oasis717]

Lol really? Wow love at first sight!! Xxx

 

[crysshae]

Lol. Yep!

 

[Oasis717]

Def out dh persuaded me to use Superdrug early biggest fattest neg!! Xxx

 

[crysshae]

Yuck! Well, I definitely wouldn't use those ICs anymore. Are they different than the ones you used with Brooklyn?

 

[Soanxious]

2 months????????? OMG! thats fantastic! I bet friends and family thought it wouldn't last? that is totally gob smacking and I love it!! awwww

Becks... Noooo you went to the dark side and tested with a more expensive.. you deserve the POAS trophy this month! To be honest hun im half tempted to do it myself... but having looked on countdown to pregnancy website at the photo galleries of tests at DPO's the more n more is showing neg before a bfp.. so Im struggling myself to fight the urge.. if OH bought me one I would be testing..im that close.. xx

What a busy thread this has been today sorry about the bfn Becks but its not over till its over ! Well in case ya have been asleep its St Patrick's day . So I would like to wish everyone a very happy St Patricks day I had a lovely day and went for a lovely dinner in my Mams and to vist my sister . I remember this time last year so clearly , I remember posting and hoping for a lucky St Paddy's day BFP , got a BFN but look what a difference a year makes

 

[josie1234]

Hi Regina - Happy St Patrick's Day to everyone. Great pic, what a cutie. Yes it is amazing to think where you were last year and look at you and your little blessing now.

Yes very busy on here, hard to keep track. Sparkle - sending positive vibes to you hun. I really hope that this is your time, fantastic that you can start the cycle, lots of luck hun xx

Becks - oh bad news on the BFN but as it has been said, it ain't over yet. Brooklyn sure is growing up quick eh? He will definitely keep you on your toes lol. How is the healthy eating/exercising going? Bet you wish you never said anything now cos I will be constantly asking lol. Hope it is going ok x

It was really strange when I rang doctors as I only spoke to the receptionist to change my smear and then mentioned about the bloods. So she booked me in. Said to do the same tests as Jan. I did ask if I would have to see the doctors first but no. Very odd. I am hoping it all goes ok and can get it done as I have to drive from work and then go back to work afterwards. It will be good if I do get it and FX if the numbers are lower. I really hope so.

Crystal - that is so amazing, must be true soul mates. Many congratulations, are you doing any special to celebrate?

Tilly - how are you getting on, hope you do chart, so we can stalk your chart.

 

[Soanxious]

Becks thats a lovely time when he can roll...for him.. but anxious time for parents.. EEK! he will love it.. haha!

Regina Happy St Patricks day!! loving that gorgeous photo !!

Jo that is very rare to get nice Dr's receptionists LOL.. its so nice!!

AFM... I must have hayfever bad.. last 2 days I have not stopped sneezing.. and boughts of 8-12 sneezes in one go.. and a few times a day.. to make matters worse my nose is runny tmi soz... but I can't blow my nose can I.. I can't pinch my nostrils due the the nose job.. so im sneezing and walking around with tissues and constantly worrying my nose may drip... as I am new to this house/garden/pollen not sure what it is that is causing it.. Chemist said I can take some childrens Piriton.. ACHOO!!!!!

 

[crysshae]

Regina - Happy St. Patty's Day. Love Sean's hair!

Tanya - That must be hard, not being able to do anything with your nose when it's runny or stuffy.

Becks - They grow up way too fast. It would be nice to keep them tiny a while longer.

Jo - Good luck with the tests. Thanks for the congrats. We didn't plan for much this weekend, but thought we'd get out for dinner and a motorcycle ride, but the weather turned rainy and then cold, so that didn't work out.

 

[Oasis717]

Thank you ladies I wouldn't have tested for once it was dh telling me to cause of the false positives on the ics, ah well. No the ics I used with Brooklyn were pink handled wondfos you can only really get from the us and they're much dearer than normal ics but I got a positive at 6 dpo with them. I think we were both expecting a bfn but after the positives dh wanted to check, it's normally me pushing to test early and him saying wait lol. Disappointed but onwards to af I guess. Yes Brooklyn is coming on so well. He also finds his big brother absolutely hilarious! His laughs are so funny. Xxxxx
Jo I started back on the diet today, haven't been out for the last 3 days as Brooklyn has been too unwell but am doing my walk tomorrow. I'm only up a lb which after a couple of weeks off almost I think is v good. Looking forward to loosing some more xxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Oh and Regina what a gorgeous pic!! Xxx

 

[Soanxious]

Still early days Becks.. fx'd xx

Has anyone tried the saliva ovulation microscopes? I am looking on amazon and debating whether to buy one

 

[Oasis717]

Well I'm hoping af hurries up this is the worst pmt, still cramping, boobs feel like they're burning on the front if it's gunna be like this for a week before every month gunna be a miserable week! Never tried that test Tanya but have heard of it xxx

 

[Soanxious]

Oh heck.. sounds nasty!! I had really sore boobs around ov.. it was agony.. now it just hurts to grab them I wouldnt like the burning... eek! but still early days mrs

Yeah I have been looking on amazon, they are around £17 and was wondering whether to buy one as the opk's are a nightmare!!

 

[Oasis717]

Oh I get so fed up of opks I get so worried ill miss the surge I end up testing like 4 times a day and then the waiting, waiting til the line gets darker than control. Sounds like a good idea! Yeah it's odd I now have early pregnancy symptoms as af symptoms after having Brooklyn, before was just cramps a day before, spotting up to 4 days before, moodiness and bloating now I have cramps a week before, burning sensation in my boobs, tender boobs, bloating, nausea and no spotting! How odd xxx

 

[Soanxious]

I think your just testing too early... and that your still in with a very good chance of getting your sticky bean you have a Lot more symptoms than me. x

Im thinking back and I recall I got pos around 2/3 days before AF was due.. so im just switching brain off... and thinking about eating healthier this month and taking my vitamins etc so If I do not catch this month my body is at least getting some healthy nourishment.. as jan and feb I had nasty symptoms that stopped me eating so my nourishment went out the window.
