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?

Swimmom, all the best!!! I am sure you are in good hands at the hospital. Is your hubby taking care of your foster baby? Wow, honestly quite the challenge this will be for you with a baby and a newborn. You are one strong woman!!

Happy Wednesday everyone....today was my last day of work! I spent 2 days in hospital only to go home to wait another week....I am feeling better but being put on bed rest is not for me.....trying so hard to relax....George our foster son is more and more mobile by the day! He is so precious...the bigger kids are helping quite a bit!!

Essemkay-cant wait for ultrasound results!!!!!!! Hurry

CONGRATULATIONS Toronto and Numbers on your baby girls!!!! so happy for you <3 :)

Essemkay i feel you, felt the same way with our youngest, even had a bit of a scare, but God brought us through it all and he just turned 2 in May.... (((HUGS)))) and prayers for you <3

Swimmom- hang in there not much longer, my thoughts and prayers are with you.... (((HUGS)))

Numbers---thank you hun, i am definitely keeping the faith and trust that God has a plan for us, hard sometimes when we aren't sure what that plan is, but my trust is in Him and enjoying what he has blessed us with, rather than driving myself nuts obsessing over every little thing, much more relaxed and happier... <3
