@SomnolentSekhmet I'm the same I went to epu at 7.5 and they said I was a week behind but saw heartbeat then when I went at 9.5 there was no heartbeat I chose medical management but had retained product so had to do it twice so it went on for 6 weeks, fingers crossed for us both this time xx
@claireb707 thanks hope you get you BFP soon xx

Hello ladies, welcome new ladies
Just a quickie, haven't been on really for a bit 2 m/c bank to back has knocked me a little.. have decide to jig up my vits and supplements.. in a big to not feel quite some much in the ttc road but to still gently preamble along it.., ditching the pre natels for just folic ( wasn't sure folic v folate ) still going to take the coq10 and some sort of omegas.. which are good for your body in general.. not stopping ttc just needed to change my path a little.. sending baby dust to you all.. keeping my eye out on thread numbers.. we have slowed down but nearly at 1000 💕💕💕💕

@Chatbash72.. i found you! Sorry to hear about your mc Flowers. Hope you're ok.
Hi everyone. I haven't read the whole thread, just the last few pages. I was on the original thread years ago then after ttc dc2 i gave up and dropped out. I'm 48 and still having regular af and still broody every time i see a newborn. It doesn't go away that feeling.
I wish you all baby dust x

Hi Chat and Booseys, not sure if you remember me? I've also been on these threads for ages but taken a break from MN during the lockdown. Sorry to hear about your miscarriages @chatbash72, that must be tough. It's good that you are getting pregnant though, hopefully a good egg is coming along soon 🤞
AFM so a complete inability to achieve so much as a chemical pregnancy naturally so I'm prepping for a frozen embryo transfer at the end of this month. Not holding out much hope as the embryos were from our last round of IVF at age 40 but I can't bring myself to throw them away without at least trying!

@CritterTamer @BooseysMom @Chatbash72 not sure if you remember me but I'm still around, following this thread and wishing lots of baby dust to whoever is trying.
How are you ladies?!

I'm currently 24 weeks and everything is going well as far as I know 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 not sure if you remember but I went down DE route in the end after 4 losses last year with my OE. And I couldn't go through this again. And I'm 44 now 😁

@Russkispy.. yes! There was a thread recently about past MNetters you remember. It went on for pages and pages. I mentioned Orchid who I think started this thread and who suddenly disappeared

I'm still here too if you remember me! The ache never goes, I too am 44 now. We haven't tried for over 2 years now but I feel it's the right thing for us. Grateful for the DC I have.
Love seeing the updates with good news though :o)

@weasledee.. i do remember you yes! Great to hear from you. I feel the same that really deep down one is right for us too. I do worry about the future and pray DS will be ok. We were 41 when we had him. We were never in a secure enough position to have more. Ironically we are now but it's too late.

@chatbash72 thank you - yes I had twins, and amazingly they are 14 months old now! They are doing really well and such a joy to us every day 😊 I know I'm being greedy hoping for another, but I can't bring myself to throw those embryos away without at least trying.

@russkispy yes I remember you had DE IVF - I'm so glad everything is going well this time xxx

@weasledee - another one of the original gang - good to hear from you and that you're doing ok xxx

@Chatbash72@BooseysMom@CritterTamer@Russkispy. Hi - don’t know if you remember me ? I was on the threads a couple of years ago too! I still follow this thread a lot. I still get upset so rarely post and can confirm and agree that yearning for DC3 still hasn’t gone away Sad but AF still regular and I read recently about a 53 year old who after putting non a little weight decided to do a test and discovered she was pregnant and had a happy ending Smile so you really do never know! It really would be nice to have a thread for us? Lovely to hear from you all Grin xx

Hey ladies, just a little update from me.
I'm now 11wks and had a private scan and NIPT test last night and everything looks good atm.
NHS dating scan next Monday and just anxiously awaiting the test results.

Baby was dancing all over, waving it's arms and kicking it's little legs.

Brilliant news :) I've got a reassurance scan tomorrow at 7 weeks but I've started spotting today and I don't have much in the way of symptoms so I'm figuring it'll be bad news here.
