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

[Oasis717]

Yep totally normal DW! That's great you're right back on track was expecting a big drop today come on AF! Xx

 

[crysshae]

Dance - I ate one piece of pie and sent all the leftovers home with everyone else. Sugars were all normal the first day of checking. Yesterday they were higher but I did have more carbs in Thanksgiving dinner than usual. Caitlin sounds so cute!

Becks - I'm sorry AF seems to be showing. I hope your new doctor can help you find answers.

Regina - Becks is right. Green or yellow CM is normal when your progesterone is high. I'm glad your DH is feeling better about TTC.

Becks when do you see new doc. Hoping you have a BP very soon.

Hi Jo how are you doing? My app is 11th DEC 9.20, they were booking 3/4 weeks ahead! I'm really hoping he'll do the tests I need, 12 day lp so far and spotting didn't start til 11 dpo so better than last month, if I o around cd 14/15 hopefully, it will make me about 10dpo on xmas day, a bfp is all i want for xmasxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

AF here for me but o on CD 14 and 13 day lp so earlier o and one extra day to my lp so I'm happy with that, looks like the b6 and diet change work!! Xx

 

[josie1234]

That's great about lp Becks. I have previously mentioned that you can get AMH tests done any time of cycle so might be worth asking if can get that on NHS. Other tests you have to get done on certain days of cycle otherwise not accurate. But be prepared that they may not do AMH on nhs. Good luck xxx

 

[josie1234]

I am ok. Trying to get organised for Christmas but not very successful. OH goes back tomorrow. He is driving me nuts lol

 

[Oasis717]

Lol Jo can't live with husbands can't live without them sometimes!! What is amh test Jo? Xxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Sorry butting in AMH tests your egg reserve I think ?? I was thinking of having it done after Christmas . Costs about 150-200 euro . Want to know if I'm wasting my time trying or should I just do Ivf ? I'm so tempted if I don't gt pg even though I said I wouldn't

Oh lovely thanks girls will def be asking! Xx

Hey Ladies!

Becks -- I hope your appointment goes well with your doctor and they offer you some things will help you.

Testing my AMH is what got me started on the IVF roller coaster. It gives you a feel for what you may have left. Mine was <.16. I am all for gaining information to make an educated decision on how to move forward. Time is so precious.

AFM: I am 28w4d and am feeling good. Because of my blood clotting disorders, the plan is to be induced the last week of January. He is growing well and my blood pressure is staying low. So far, so good!

I am still reading every day and keeping up with you ladies. I am hopeful for another BFP sometime soon!

 

[Oasis717]

Sparkle thank you, I'm not sure they do the test on the NHS though from what I've been reading xx
So glad you are doing so well its lovely to hear xxx

 

[crysshae]

Yay for a better LP Becks.

Jenn - Glad you're doing well.

I hope you are all doing great!

Keeping a log of my blood sugars. Seem to be too high in the morning after fasting overnight but manageable during the day. Will see what my doc says tomorrow. Supposed to have my 3D scan then too.

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Crystal, I hope your levels stay stable and a 3d scan how exciting! Good luck xx

 

[Left wonderin]

Cry can't wait to see the 3d scan they are so clear !!
I've looked up AMH testing price , a place 20mins from here charges 110 euro and they they have a special offer of a free consultation worth 250 when the results come back . 110 euro not the worst .. Ill get putting a bit by and book in for January . Takes 14 days for test results .. Intervals already and its only December and no appointment made lol....

Sparkle like you said its about making informed choices now . No point hitting 48 and thinking damm should have done Ivf .. The end of jan how exciting ... Another labour for me to live vicariously through you and cry are only 3 days put from each other !!

Jo no AF yet .... Tis was another long cycle . Do you get PMS ? Thanks for the article Becks that home test you did was the old way of testing . Looks like you did ok on that one

I don't even know what DPO I am . Life is super busy at the moment so no time to ponder !!!

 

[josie1234]

Hi Regina - thanks for asking, yes defo looks like another long one.....so annoying. Yes, I do get PMS, quite a lot too. At least when you have regular cycles, you know that it is going to end but with me it is up and down like a yoyo with my moods. Awful. Not sure if the tablets are helping any or not. I am impatient but it may take a couple of cycles to notice a different. Who knows?

Crystal - hope your levels stay stable and I am so looking forward to the 3D scan, bet you are so excited.

Becks - I don't think they do AMH test on NHS. It was mentioned to me when I went for acupuncture. Good luck with the doctor hun. How is Brooklyn and what is he up to lately?

Jenn - how exciting, good that you are keeping track of this thread and looking forward to the updates. Not long now, are you getting excited yet? Any bump pics?

Christmas will soon be here and my LO would have been 2 years beginning of Jan. Sad. I do Personal Training for a lady in her house and she has a little baby boy, he is so cute. Hope everyone else is doing okay xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Jo was just thinking that !!! The must be awful not knowing when an end in in sight !!

 

[Oasis717]

I know January is always a sad time for us, our first lo lost at 3 months would be 2 this Jan, they were due 2 days after dh birthday, we would never, ever be without Brooklyn and he wouldn't be here now if we hadn't lost our angel but I still will be eternally sad that we never got to meet themxxx Jo Brooklyn is doing fantastic thank you, he loves all the Xmas decorations everywhere we go so we put our two trees up two I weeks ago! He can ask me for things now in his own way and points to things he wants, he's v loving and loves kisses and cuddles, looking forward to seeing him open his presents. Xx
I will ask the doctor when I go about the amh test, we wouldn't go down the ivf route though I don't think, I'm just hoping its not too late for us xxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Oh and Jo I'm afraid the agnus castus takes 3 months to get into your system to be fully effective against pmt, its a long wait xx
