Re-intro (dd and loss mentioned)

edited March 2014 in TTC after 35
Hello, Ladies! 

Wow, things have changed! New format, new faces. A couple I remember from my last stint on this board. 

I'm Daniele, I live in Maine but am originally from CT. I was on this board for 15 months while TTC my dd who is now 10 months old. I had one loss in the process, but am hopeful that this next attempt will be easier and won't include a loss or require any visits to the RE (both times I had appointments, I got a BFP that morning). I *just* got Aunt Flo a couple weeks ago finally, so we're trying for number 2 while we know my uterus and ovaries may still be working. 

Nobody understands the crazy that goes hand-in-hand with TTC > 35 like other women in the same boat, so of course I'm back.

    Thanks, Becky! I'm sorry to see you still here and not on the PG > 35 board, but I am sending you all the positive juju for your April transfer! So exciting and April is almost here! 

    When do you find out about your transfer date?

    I didn't post any pics of Eleanor because I don't want anyone feeling bad that I got lucky. I remember how hard that was-- and I wasn't trying for nearly as long as some women here...

    ***siggy warning****



    I too would LOVE to know how to delete the stupid ticker. I cannot figure it out and I feel like I've tried everything. Baby is NOT the size of a jackfruit. She is the size of a 19-month old. A big 19-month-old at that. Of course, I come on here so rarely now that even if there is an answer to this, I might miss it. :-(

    ::waves at Becky:: -- very excited for your upcoming transfer! DE remains the best choice I/we ever made. DD is very, very much mine....and we are so deeply bonded. I saw your post about fears/age earlier tonight, and want to say that DH and I share them; I'm 42 now, so you have a few extra years on me, but the fear is the same. Plus I hurt my back during a post-pregnancy Jillian Michaels workout and have now suffered from chronic hip/glute pain for a year; it's sort of become manageable thanks to PT but honestly, sometimes it *is* hard to deal with diaper-changing/kneeling/sitting on the floor/etc. And twisting to use the car seat is hellish. So, yeah, there's all that. But it is all worth it. Fingers crossed for you!
    me - 41 (dx: DOR); DH - 53 (no problems); 7/18/09 - married!; 8/4/09 - BFP on first (real)try; 9/14/09 - missed m/c; 9/15/09 - d&c; 11/09 - 3/10 - 4 natural cycles = BFN; 4/10 - dx hyperthyroidism caused by Graves' disease; 6/10 - thyroidectomy; 7/10 - 12/10 - 1 natural and 5 medicated IUI cycles = BFN; 1/11 - new RE; dx low ovarian reserve (AMH .42; 1/26/11 -- BFP (ectopic) from IUI #6; methotrexate 2/10/11; 6/2/11 - IVF #1 = BFN; 9/12/11 - prescreening for DE; 9/15/11 - IUI #7 (unmedicated)= BFN; 11/8 - begin DE cycle (shared risk program); 12/5 - ER (5 eggs/4 mature/3 fertilized/2 left by day 5) 12/10 - ET of one 1BB blast (expanded, "fair" quality), none to freeze; 12/22 - totally shocked by +hpt; beta #1 = 413; #2 = 3952 2/14 - CVS reveals a healthy baby girl!

    I, too, have a difficult time carrying my 19.5 pound 10 month old around. Especially with my bad back/neck. My right shoulder is totally tweaked but she is worth every visit to the osteopath! 

    Let me see if I can post a photo or at least send a PM. (It's been so long since I've been on the bump that I don't remember much of how to handle photos.)

    I did all that. When I go there, it shows me the new sig I entered (no ticker, different quote, updated info, etc). That's the problem-- it's not recognizing the new signature in my posts.

    Hi @DanieleandWayne! I am a semi-newbie. I've been hanging around for a couple months. I'm waiting on AF, so I've just been monitoring my CM and temping, FWIW. May I ask how you convinced AF to return? ;-)

    I hope that your stay on the board is much shorter than your first. Have a good week.

    Thanks, Ladies!

    URMySunshine77, I started to try and cut down on my nursing schedule with dd. Encouraging her to eat more, drink water in between feedings, etc. And then crossed my fingers, toes, and eyes that AF would show up! Only time in my life that I wanted AF to come sooner rather than later and she of course only somewhat obliged!

    Haha. I know the feeling. :-) I have been feeding DS foods as though I were Hansel and Gretel's witch.

    If I might ask, did it return before or after weaning? I've been having some EWCM here and there, but I don't think that I've ovulated.

    I think you were the first person to call me out on my BFP based on my chart!  :)  Welcome back and glad to hear you were successful shortly after I left.  I'm done now, but still check this place every once in a while and was happy to see your name!  I always appreciated your humor!  Good Luck and may your stay be short. :)

    Oh it is so nice to hear from some of the other alums!  

    URMySunshine77, DD is still nursing-- morning, night, and briefly during the day (those are short sessions, maybe 2-3 minutes). I started DD on solids at 4 months and AF returned when DD was about 9.5 months old. This is my first cycle since AF arrived about 3 weeks ago. I'm not *entirely* sure I ovulated because my sleep hasn't been consistent so neither are my temps. For a little while, I was worried that maybe nursing was putting me into early menopause. I don't even know if that can happen, but the fear was there. Welcome, cupful of crazy! LOL

    Only time will tell I guess.
