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?

Welcome, GoldenSunset! I can't help you - baby poop wasn't a pregnancy symptom for me. It wasn't a non-pregnancy symptom for me either. I don't believe I've ever experienced what you're describing. My baby gets really dark poop when I give her iron drops - did you have more iron in your diet yesterday?

All I know is when I am pregnant I get looser stools - the extra progesterone does that. You can get diahrrea or constipation depending on the person. It is hard to say. I get the diahrrea early on- so it could be a good sign for you......

Kraken: don't worry they use them for menopause too and it is marketed that way... but for what you are using them for it won't say on the label. But soy is soy... just stop them after your 5 days! Good luck! They worked for me!

Hi Kraken I'm CD3 too and starting soy today also for the first time. I was going to do 200mg a day. What does everyone else think. I'm also stopping vitex for 5 days.

Red clover isoflavones versus soy isoflavones? I did some internet searching but would like to know if anyone else has an opinion. Thanks.
