I know how you feel! It's not easy, you've still got plenty of good eggs at this age and it only takes one! Keep going, that's all we can do. I had the same, low b12, I started taking the oral spray about 12 months ago and still use it daily now, I believe even small things can make a big difference!

Thanks - maybe il try b12 spray

worldwidetravel2017 · 01/09/2024 11:56

Thanks @Mrsspoon3

Typically whilst nhs have dangled the carrot of tube flush
After this cycle if we dont conceive -
Typically its this cycle thats gone awol

Obviously gotta be mega sure not preg 4 tube flush..

Unlikely that il know 4 sure in time 4 next phone fertility appt

Maybe tube flush will have to be ' pencilled - in - but then ugh cuz i didnt want too many cycles where we avoid conception

Did a test yesterday morning (10dpo) with CB, got a bfn. I gave up all hope. Then the sharp stabbing cramp happened last night. And AF is still a no show after nearly 24 hours. So confused.

I’m heading very slowly towards my next fertile window. We’ve both been on the ubiquinol for 2-3 months now so fingers crossed. I would love to have a summer baby.

Keep going, have you had all the fertility checks ect? Never say never, I turn 40 this year and I'm currently 14 weeks with my first. Everyday I still worry to be honest, but I guess that's just part of the course after a loss. I still won't believe it until this baby is in my arms. Women are having healthy babies well into their 40's now, don't pressure yourself, it's horrible, I'd essentially comes to terms with this not happening for me... then it did! all the luck to you that it happens soon and goes the distance! 🙏

Thanks! That’s great you’re 14 weeks now 😊 I hope you have lots of support and are doing ok as I know how hard pregnancy after loss is.
Im under the recurrent miscarriage clinic and they’ve done all the standard tests and nothing has come back abnormal.

Mrsspoon3 · 01/09/2024 19:15

I had a month off trying this month as I’m 40 on Tuesday and we’re going to Disneyland, then I have 2 spa days, and it would have been around now I would test positive if I was pregnant. As I have lots of early miscarriages I didn’t want to test positive, miss out on things like rides at Disneyland and birthday drinks, then miscarry a few days later! Hated having to miss a month though as kept thinking “What if this was the month I had a good egg and would have had a successful pregnancy?”
TTC is so hard isn’t it! 😭

Thank you, I just take one day at a time, honestly I still won't or can't let myself fully believe it will happen, I'm still reluctant to tell people or even make plans to buy anything, I just count down until the next scan, which is always reassuring. Yes, it really is.
That's really great news, keep trying, best of luck to you, I hope you have a wonderful birthday and getaway!

Those of you that had your tubes flushed , did you get told the results on the day ?

worldwidetravel2017 · 02/09/2024 11:14

Sometimes i question if i have pmdd

But do you guys get extra emotional around ovulation ?

Mirla · 02/09/2024 13:51

Hi all, jumping back in here after a big absence, (which included discovering that one of my fallopian tubes was ruined by scar tissue from an appendectomy back when I was 12, so had that removed in case it was affecting uterine environment).

@worldwidetravel2017 when I had a HSG I got the results actually from the technician right there and then, which was actually kinda brutal because she could only show me that one tube was blocked, and not what the treatment would be. I got too upset waiting to see NHS consultant after that and ended up going private, because I couldn't deal with it, knowing that I have no time to spare being in 40s.

This time last year i was pregnant
( then miscarriage)

Today im just sad

Mirla · 02/09/2024 16:24

@worldwidetravel2017 oof, that's painful. I don't know how helpful this is but I've found it good in the past to be reminded that it's ok to be sad. Like, trying to push it away makes it worse really. Acknowledge it and feel it and give it space.

Mash0917 · 04/09/2024 06:41

I have a very irregular cycle that ranges from 26-36 days so tracking is tough. The app says I'm 14dpo today. I did a FRER this morning with FMU, BFN. :-(
This tww, I had bad nausea from 9dpo, sharp ovulation like cramps on 10dpo- I was sure AF was coming, never did. And for the last 2 days, I can't sleep because of the heartburn, and DH reminded me that heartburn was tge 1st thing to come when I was preggo with DD1.
Anyone else is or was on the same boat? Did anyone had BFP after all this? Or am I out this month? I'm so gutted. :-(
