[Oasis717]

Lol snap!!!! I must admit I'm really starting to worry now after all his time, trying to stay positive but its not working xxx

 

[crysshae]

She's beautiful Tilly!

Yes. All herbs take 3 months to fully work, but I began to see and feel a difference the first month taking agnus castus.

Little one hasn't turned yet, so the placenta made it hard to get good pics, causing artifact on his skull but you can see his profile and hands in front of his face.

The doctor wants me to continue logging my sugars and changing things around to see if I can get my fasting sugar lower before she gives me meds as it's the only one that's high. After meals my sugars are usually fine.

Oh Crystal how wonderful! What a lovely pic xxxx

 

[addie23]

I'm new I have never posted but we are trying again if it will happen I'm 40 just turned last month I have 4 children 2 older girls 18 and 14 and just last Dec I had my boy girl twins my little girl was born sleeping at 36 weeks 6 days my son will be one in a few weeks this month this is the the only child I have lost I'm still coping I guess
We did ivf to conceive the twin s so I'm not sure if it will happen naturally but I did have a chemical in august but nothing since so I guess it's a wait and see

Hi Addie, welcome to this thread. So sorry for your loss and of course, the pain never goes away but this thread shows that there is hope as some ladies have had their rainbows in their 40's. Good luck on your ttc journey. Lovely ladies on here who always listen and understand.

[crysshae]

Welcome Addie. I'm so sorry for the loss of your little one.

Regina and Becks - I'm hopeful you both get great news at your appointments.

Jo - How are you?

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Crystal I'm really hoping that the doc will help xxx

 

[garfie]

Dammit so I replied to you ladies somewhere between Cry's post and Becks just went to check and my post wasn't there at all - and it was the longest I have wrote in a while

Becks - I found AMH testing done through the post for £140.00 (I have book marked it for the New Year).

Tilly - your little one is gorgeous - I hope some time soon to have our own are you listening up there

Cry - I can't believe the modern technology these days if I'm lucky to have another I want all the modern scans too - I have a few b/w grainy ones of the boys

Addie - I'm sorry for your loss hun - I have been around on this board for ages - more a stalker these days as one day hubby wants a baby (then usually we have another loss) and then he says NO MORE!!! I write a lot in my journal so that's where you will normally find me

Lisa - How is Caitlin - bet she is excited about all the twinklies this year

Jo - Did you have your AMH tested? - or was it just CD3 and 21DPO blood tests for the Dr to make his decision?

Regina - How did the seduction techniques go? - better than mine I bet - I tried last night and granted he is a "little" bit under the weather but of course this blew up into a full scale row (again) and I ended up saying if I coould get the main ingredient from the shops I would make my own bun this difused the situation a little and we are back on speaking terms

Not that I think it makes a difference last month ff did not detect ovulation and I reckon this month is the same (although I did start B6) so maybe that has effected things

If my original post should pop up - sorry for repeating!!!!

Hi Crystal, I am good thank you. Been a quieter day today so all good. Had a headache all day though so hope I am not coming down with anything. OH is fed up as he doesn't think he can get home on next 4 days off as things kicking off at work. Mind you, I don't think I help things as I always give him a hard time about it all, him being away and going on courses etc.

Fi - no I didn't get AMH tested. My results were all on blood tests and just didn't want to get my hopes up when the doctors have basically washed their hands of me. It was all getting to me, POAS etc it was really stressing me out so have just decided to get on with life instead of focusing on it all. I still take temp but that's it now. It can really take over your life. I hope that you and your OH are okay and you get your wicked way ;-)

How is everyone else??

 

[Left wonderin]

Fi the seduction went well lol for one day anyway 2 days before ov lol... Now waiting till sat to test but already know I'm out .. Looking forward to my seduction routine which will fall timing wise right around Christmas . Ill just ply him with alcohol

I've decided I'm definitely having the test but in January then ill make a doc appointment in jan too ... Here is hoping for 2015 BFP lol.... ( well we can move our goal posts ) they are ours after all

 

[Left wonderin]

Ok girls I'm about to totally freak out !!!! I need ye to calm me down !! I'm 10dpo and went to the loo . Wiped and a tiny bit of red blood mixed with cm . Tmi ill put up pic .......

I NEVER EVER SPOT and have LP of 15 days . AF not due till next Wednesday . Last time I spotted at 10dpo resulted in Sean !!! So I need to calm down .......... The chances are its just a randowm cycle with break through bleeding or AF is coming 5 days early .... But on the other hand there is a chance its ib .......... OMG !!!! Last time I had red too and thought AF coming so put a tampon in . I hope I'm not left in limbo long .... I need you all to calm me down as it is 99.9% probably nothing

Here is the pic sorry if tmi ill take it down if it is but need to know its not my imagination !!

 

[addie23]

thank you all for kind words , i have an appt next friday the 12th with a new fertlity dr i just want to get my levels checked see if its even possible for me to concieve naturally I went through almost 5 years of iui and ivf and dr appt meds everything then I was over the moon pregnant with twins only to lose my beautiful daughter a week before i was schedule for my c section, its like some dream i had but a nightmare too and now im back here trying i should not be here thats what i tell myself anyway Ive been trying since august and i actually had a chemical that month never had one before and nothing since , i take some herbs that i read help women at 40 and take all the normal ttc vitamins Im hoping my levels are at least normal range and that i dont have any polyps fibroids i have a history of those and endo so I will see what the new doctor says

 

[Oasis717]

Gosh so much to catch up on!! Regina Omg that looks to me very very much like ib, if you never spot as I do and its EXACTLY the right time for ib to show (it was 10dpo you spotted with Sean too wasn't it!) then I think its v v exciting, I have everything crossed for you!!! Xx
Fi I'm really hoping the b6 helps and gives your body a nudge and you o this month xxx
Addie, I'm hoping you get some fab results from the specialist, I see a new doctor on the 11th and I'm really hoping I'm not dismissed at 43, I've read that fertility drugs like clomid give you more chance not by improving egg quality but in making you release more eggs per month therefore increasing your chances, I'm a little nervous to go if I'm honest xxx
Jo I hope you're not coming down with something, Casey (ds6) was off with a sickness bug this week then last three days Brooklyn has been v tearful and off his food, he had a temp but it only lasted a day and thankfully wasn't sick xxx

AFM AF is finally going and I can look forward to this cycle, tried my new clearblue fertility monitor as an opk gave me a half positive (usually have a barely there line at this point) and got an empty circle for low fertility, useless cheapy strips!! Xxx
