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?

I'm good but so nervous for tomorrow. I'm crossing everything that the number is going up, and going up appropriately. The bleeding has stopped and my FRER looked a bit darker this morning, so I'm hopeful. Of course, there's so many hurdles still to come even if I make it past the immediate one.

Fertility-wise, my eggs are just so old. Even though I don't feel any different than I did 10 or 20 years ago, the reality is I turn 45 in 2 weeks. Hoping there was still a good one in there!

Yesterday's test numbers more than doubled. I go back for another blood test tomorrow. Still cautious, but starting to get optimistic!

Essemkay, I am thrilled about your news!!! Sticky vibes from me!!

I am still at the hospital. My princess Fiona Isabel arrived on Monday at 12:36 pm. My contractions had started on Sunday morning, we went to the hospital about 14 hours later. It took another 14 hours for her to arrive. I made it through without c/s but they had to do an epitisiotomy (?). Pushing was almost unbearable with the doctor lying on top of me with her upper body in order to push her out. In any case, I am bruised but happy. Fiona was a big girl at 4,040 grams and 54 cm (you have to do the conversion for me :) ) and has a full head of dark hair :) I am not sure how to add a picture... Will try.

talk soon!!!

Yay babies!!!

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm trying not to go insane. My first ultrasound is June 14, which is the day after I turn 45. So worried there are chromosomal issues, but hopefully, we'll see a nice little sac and possibly a beating heart!
