Over 40's TTC loads of baby dust to all... 5

[Chatbash72]

Hope this works as we lots the thread

Sorry been quiet for a little while.. last month had a mc at 5 weeks and 4 days.. this month had been hoping as I got to 7 weeks and 2 days that all would be well, but had some light spotting for the last 2 days and bleeding kicked up a big notch this morning... waiting till 2 when I can ring for a drs phone appointment.... 😞 hope everyone is well and able to enjoy this amazing weather xx

Sending you positive and healing vibes @Chatbash72 xx

I either am having a chemical (no bleeding yet) or I cannot use any hpt at all as they all had clear (faint but clear) lines for 7 days. Negative hpt Friday (last ones I took)

Hi @Chatbash72, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Two months in a row must be particularly difficult physically and mentally. I hope you get referred to an early pregnancy unit quickly and they can support you through this. Be kind to yourself

Thank you @ecostats... doubtful I will be referred... too old to even get a look in

I'm sorry to hear about the back to back losses @Chatbash72 I hope the doctors do look into it for you and that you take care of yourself

@KristieP2018 how frustrating. I hope you get an answer soon.

Congratulations to those with BFPs. They always make my day x

@Chatbash72 I'm really sorry to hear that. One mc after another must be heartbreaking.
I think I'm having one too. I've had a light brownish pink smudge this morning. I'm 6w3d so it can't be implantation bleeding. I feel devastated. I was so looking forward to a baby. The miscarriages in my 30s were bad enough but now because it feels like time is running out it's doubly crushing.

So we decided to stop trying....and squinter this morning!! I'm 5 days late so would expect a much stronger line so definitely not getting Hope's up but sure something is there??

That's brilliant @MaryShelley1818. Fingers crossed for you!
@Chatbash72 how are you today? I had a lot of bleeding yesterday with backache and cramps so I think this is definitely a mc. I will phone the docs tomorrow. I hope you're OK.

@Chatbash72 and @anaconda76 I'm so very sorry to hear your sad news, I know how devastating it is. Thinking of you both xx

Thanks @MaryShelley1818. I am feeling a bit flat today and really sad. This pregnancy felt like my last chance so I'm devastated that it's over. My hubby works away a lot so once the lockdown is lifted there will be less opportunity for ttc.

Oh it's so very unfair ((hugs)) I'm 43 next Birthday and DH is 45 next year so this feels like our last chance to. We've been trying 18 months now and this is our first BFP so if this doesn't stick I don't like our chances. Life is very sad at times xx

I've got a scan at 10.30 tomorrow. It will be a relief to know one way or another.

Are you still bleeding or has it stopped? I had a couple of instances of bleeding with DS lasting about 24hrs. They never found a cause but did an internal examination and everything seemed ok. Thinking of you xx

I guess there's no question anymore......
I'm in so much shock x

@Chatbash72 and @anaconda76, really sorry to hear your sad news, hope you both have lots of support

@MaryShelley1818, what a lovely surpise for you, really hope it all goes well

Congrats @MaryShelley1818.
Yes, I'm still bleeding. It's like a light period now. The cramps have settled down and I've just got dull back ache now. I still feel pregnant but I guess that's just the hormones.

Thank you @ecostats. x

A huge Congratulations to you @MaryShelley1818.I am too 43years old trying for number 2. Can I ask did you take any supplements or anything else?

Absolutely nothing. I didn't want to pin all my hopes on it, and I didn't want to become obsessed. I had an app which I occasionally glanced at and according to that I only had sex the week prior to the fertile week in May 😂 I'm very sceptical about things and think a lot of these supplements are just designed to separate desperate people from their money.

I don't mean that to sound like I didn't desperately want this, I was absolutely heartbroken when we decided to stop trying. I had just tried to take measures to protect myself.

Congratulations @MaryShelley1818, hopefully it’s a sticky.

Condolences @Chatbash72 and @anaconda76, I’ll pull up a stool alongside you both. I had a miscarriage over the weekend as well, at 5 weeks. This is the third in a row. I really believed this one would stick. At the moment I’m flitting between anger, frustration and sadness, I just cannot believe that it’s happened again. It took 6 months to get pregnant after the last one.
My heart feels shattered.

Oh @TheFoz I'm so very sorry, absolutely heartbroken for you. I'll respectfully leave the thread but wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the support and to wish everyone lots of luck xx

Congratulations @Maryshelley1818 that's wonderful! Great line!

I'm sorry to hear that @TheFoz and @anaconda x

@TheFoz oh no! Not you as well. Sending lots of hugs. x

@MaryShelley1818 please don't leave the thread. We need people like you to stick around to give the rest of us hope. x

Congratulations @MaryShelley1818

Massive hugs to @anaconda76 and @TheFoz 😢

@anaconda76 @TheFoz so sorry to hear your sad news

@Chatbash72 so sorry you're going through this. So not fair! How are you feeling?
