TTC 4th baby at 38years old

@Kittybwaybless you! The ups and downs are so hard! Fingers crossed for you that it’s not your af! Are your cycles normally regular? X

That sounds good @Wingingitlife iv never had acupuncture before! I need some form of stress relief thats not running so might look into it.

Iv been so emotional and had such a big cry last night after I did bedtime for my dd, but feeling better today. My temp dipped so much I was convinced af was coming but it's shot up today again so who knows

@kittybway@WishingforfourI feel a bit more positive today. Last three days it it me hard and I’ve been randomly bursting into tears. But I also think that maybe it’s the hormones too as I’ve not had a proper period in years. I’ve booked an acupuncture session for next week too so I’m looking forward to that 😊

ive never taken aspirin but I have heard it’s supposed to help if you’ve experienced miscarriages before.

Hello @Wishingforfour how you're doing ok! I am cd32, 12dpo and hoping to test Wednesday if AF doesn't arrive, ladt cycle was 36 days but the 4 before were all 29 days. Really weird temperature fluctuations yesterday and today but think i slept badly/snored.

I have also heard about baby aspirin! Might look into it next cycle i think, i will also be contacting the gp as technically August will be cycle 6 (we didnt track or anything the first 2) so might get the ball rolling with fertility stuff.

Hope your OK @Wingingitlife how are you feeling?

How are you feeling @Wingingitlife? I'm on CD1 today.

Has anyone tried baby asprin in their TTC journey? I'm thinking of trying it this month as I've heard so many good things about reducing inflammation (which I have) and helping with implantation.

How is everyone doing? What CD are we all on?

CD 4 for me 🙏🏼 xx

Thank you ladies ❤️ xx

So sorry @Wingingitlifeat least you know now and can move on. 🤗 I started trying straight away but didn’t fall pregnant for 3 months after. Be kind to yourself xx

@WingingitlifeI'm so so sorry, I know how heartbreaking it is. Let yourself feel it...we are all here. Yes I tried straight after mine, unfortunately 5 months later still crying. However my chemical was off the back of my 6 week loss and they do say you are more fertile after a miscarriage xx

I'm so sorry @Wingingitlife you're right it is so cruel. Hope you can do something nice for yourself tonight and rest. I don't think there's any physical reason why you can't try again this next cycle as long as you feel like it xx

Unfortunately I’ve just started bleeding so I think that’s it for me this month I definitely think it’s been a chemical. I thought it was too good to be true to get pregnant first cycle. I’m absolutely devistated, it’s so cruel isn’t it thinking you’re pregnant then having it taken away so quickly! 😞 back to day 1 for me then. Thinking positive thoughts for us all this month 🙏🏼 ❤️

for those of you that have experienced a chemical did you try again as normal the next month or wait a month? Xx

Sorry for all the worry @Wingingitlife I know what you mean about wanting to move forward, my period was 10 days late last month and I kept resting negative, just wanted to move to the next cycle already!

Hopefully it will just be something that can explain it! Or you naturally have lower HCG levels. Have you tested again this morning? I understand about just wanting to move on. I’m just getting positive ovulation tests two weeks after my miscarriage. The last two weeks have flown though I’ve got to say. x

Thank you @BabyBornstill no bleeding yet, if this is a chemical then I hope it just starts soon so I can move forward! Xx

It is very hard to judge isn’t it. I was still having slight symptoms just over 2 weeks ago with my last miscarriage 😩 As soon as I started spotting I knew that was it as it’s not normal for me at all. Had a scan the following day and sure enough the pregnancy hadn’t developed upto 6 weeks. Although it’s upsetting and frustrating there is obviously good reason for it and most commonly that the chromosomes usually aren’t quite right.
Let’s hope for some positive news. My 3 year old got me through all the anxiety and worry and has been a real crutch for me the past 13 months. Hope you’ve got lots of distracting things that will get you through xx

I’ve had a little bit of nausea on a morning after breakfast and an increase in creamy discharge, plus I’ve been super tired today (but that could have been due to being away for 4 days). I’m probably just going to have to wait (and hope) 🙏🏼

its hard to judge though, with my first pregnancy I had no symptoms at all until probably around 10 weeks. With my second I was absolutely ill from the day after my bfp, exhausted, morning sickness and heightened sense of smell, however that was twins! Xx

It can take a while to be seen by a midwife. They usually try to time your appointment so you are around 8 weeks pregnant. So could be another 3-4 weeks? You may have to wait it out if your GP isn’t very helpful. Our practice have been so good but this is my 3rd loss in 13 months so may be why?!
How are you feeling? Have you any pregnancy symptoms? Xx

I’m not sure how it works up here, it’s all changed since I was last pregnant! I rang to make an appointment but they told me to go in and fill in a form for the midwife. So I guess the midwife will send me out an appointment. Whereas you used to have to go to your gp first do a test and then be referred to the midwife. I’m not sure if I can just request a hcg test?

That encouraging then. Can you ask your GP to do some HCG testing over the course of next week for you then? They may agree to doing it x

No shoulder pain no, and no cramps @BabyBorn

Hi,

Just looked back to when I had my chemical last year and I was spotting for two days and the third day I was bleeding lightly and the cramps started. It was quite heavy bleeding on the 4th day it got heavier for 3 more days. You don’t have any shoulder tip pains or any pains at all do you? X

Thank you, I am beginning to think that is what is happening 😞 although part of me is still hopeful. Did you have any cramps or anything?

Aawww @Wingingitlife i would be inclined to think that perhaps it is a chemical you are having. 😢 this is how mine started last year. I was 3 days late and I was getting faint lines. Then after about a week I started to spot and bleed. So frustrating. Hopefully it isn’t that, stranger things have happened. 🤗 xx

I know it’s so stressful! Don’t remember stressing or overthinking at all the last time I was pregnant. I think I tested once then just took it as that. But being older now is definitely making me think about it more. So according to my Premom app my period was due on the 1st so like 6 days late but I don’t think I was actually due until the 4th which would make me 3 days late!
