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?

That does sound like good news to me Essemkay although I know very little about the process. Still keeping everything crossed for your BFP

Toronto...good to hear everything is going well for you, not long now

For all the new posters....I hope this site gives you hope. I was fairly desperate when I found it and now only have 6 days of my pregnancy left. I hope you are all as lucky.

There seems to be a few other BFP's so HUGE to anyone I've missed. Pregnancy over 40 is not something I'm in a hurry to do again, it's been a long and hard road for me but I packed my hospital bag today and can honestly say although I'm terrified I'm also soooo excited and ask you all to please think of us on the 24th and prey our little girl comes into the world safely and as perfect as our other 2 children.

Thank you for all your support over the last year or so, it has helped no end and I'm looking forward to reading more success stories on here.
Keep the faith ladies....and remember....baby dancing IS fun xx

Essemkay - I think your numbers look good - I only did marginally better using a donor in her 20's. GOOD LUCK!!! Fingers crossed for handsome blastocysts.

As of this morning, all 7 embryos are still going strong, so we're doing a day-5 transfer on Wednesday. Haven't had a chance to speak with my doctor to figure out how many to transfer, though.

Hi ladies, with a few of you ever closer to the special day ill take this oppertunity to wish you well. Its such a special time for a family. I sincerly hope more BFP's follow.

Afm...I had my baby girl by c section on friday and she's just perfect. We've called her Honey-Rose and she weighed 7lb 13 1/2oz. The hospital let me home on Saturday as I was doing so well but am in a lot of pain now even though its lovely to be home with the rest of my family. I realise how lucky I have been and I appreciate my little miracle so much. I hope that many more of you will get the chance to experience this joy.

Good luck to you all x
