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?

Karen, I've just researched the LEEP procedure and I would guess that yes, it could contribute to your CP's. You've had so many that there has to be something at fault with your lining. You don't have a short LP (which was my initial problem) so I would say the egg is just not implanting well enough to sustain the pregnancy. Are you still bleeding? I'm sure there is medication you can take to strengthen your lining. If you have a good GP then he should be able to help you x

I was going to take one this morning but didnt see the point. You think i still should? Xx

Well I think I would yes. At 16dpo if you are pregnant you should get a fairly strong positive and it could also be helpful to you Dr if you manage to get an appt. I would think they would ask you to do one anyway x

We're hopping back on the IVF train for one last try. Assuming this au naturale doesn't work for us, I'll start birth control pills on CD3 of my next period, stims 2 weeks after that. Retrieval should be mid-April.
