Over 40 TTC.... and I KNOW I am not the ONLY one: Part IV

View Full Post

Well, we got to page 16 so I started it over......

here's a recap of my story:
My name is Carolyn... I am 37 (close to 40) and just had my first child this summer but dh and I don't want to wait too long for another because it took us 2 years to have our first and we are getting older..... so we are TTC #2 now!

I have a question for you ladies: my temp dropped today but I have been getting negative opks so far.... only been testing once a day because I am only on cycle day 10 today and usually I O around day 12.... do you think I missed the surge and we should bd anyway today? or should I just wait and see if I get a postive opk in the next few days?

Holly -excellent. How long had you been TTC?

11 years ago


Kraken- yes i took the soy 200mg CD3-7, but not sure if it was the soy or just a fluke as we have taken the more relaxed road rather than obsessing over everything...and AF ended on Cd 4 (only a 4 day AF) and CD 5 and CD 6 we BD, so i would think that it would be a bit early for it to of been the soy, i dunno...but i do know this happened with our youngest, I got pregnant the day after i finished AF....

Oh angel that is great news. I have heard people can o super early.

How are you feeling essemkay. I have been thinking of you.

Kraken I just finished my soy yesterday. 3 to 7 started on 120 for 3 days then 160 then last day 200. I felt some cramping the first day but nothing since then. First time for me.

Thank you and in the excitement here, so sorry Essemkay wanted to tell you that my thoughts and prayers are with you, sounds good and praying you get that BFP this mth....along with the rest of y'all <3

Montanella-my cycles are rather weird, and this is the first time it has taken me this long to ever get preggers, it's been one heck of a roller coaster ride, heck used to be all hubby had to do was look at me and i was preggers so this has definitely been an experience and also got to meet some lovely ladies here <3 guess that would explain what looked like a pos, opk around then and we thought it was the soy affecting the results.......i have even gotten pregnant the day i have started AF, then AF would stop and then 4 wks later discover i was preggers and this is the 2nd time now i am positive this happened right after AF....leave it to me to be the odd ball...just hoping and praying this lil bean sticks with us

I got preggers with my daughter day after AF. 1st time trying as well. Holly weve been ttc for over 3yrs so really hoping this works

Ive had 4 CP's :-(

Montenella - I did CD 3-7 also with soy. I started 100mg for two days then 150mg for a day then 200mg the last two days. I normally get 'O' pains but its normally around CD 17 when I 'O' so was not expecting any pains yet. Really hope it works for us hun

And to all those in the process of transfers...I so hope it works for you and at least one little bean stcks. Fx for you too
