View Full Post

I am 42, ttc and wondering if there are any other ladies out there wanting to share their journey. Doesn't -matter if it's your first or your 8th, would love to cycle with you! I am using opk, pre-seed, maca, and other vitamins. Have been told I have border line fsh and not much time! On cycle 2 ttc after a TR in March. Sent my bbt chart to Dr. and was told I was bd-ing too much! whoops! Will cut back this cycle. I am on cd2 and super excited for this round!

FABMOMMY- I have heard of egg whites but it freaks me out thinking about the whole salmonella thing and it going in my who ha ...lol think i'll stick to preseed.

Welcome stgmngr210! Sorry to hear about your loss. Hope you get your bfp really soon!

Welcome clover brook- I know i might get some neg feedback from the other ladies but yes you can buy clomid online without a prescription. I have in the past. maybe not the smartest thing to do but i have a 3yr that was well worth it. The second time i tried it, it didnt work and i got pregnant naturally months later. Only you can decide what's right for you but please gather all info if you do decide that route.

Hello everyone. I've been using this site for awhile but this is my first time venturing out to the forums and I was so happy to see this topic. I'm 42 and my DH is 45 and we are TTC for #1. We met ten years ago and have been married for five. Unofficially we have been TTC for four years but I recently found my paperwork from our first consultation with my RE and it was in October 2009. So I believe that would make it two years and seven months officially. Other than our ages we fall into the "unknown" category. I've been through five clomid/IUI cycles and this time was my first round with injections (Bravelle). The ultrasound came back great with four happy follicles ranging from 13-17.5. My DH's count was 6.3 million at 96% mobility. So lots of fingers and toes are crossed that one of his swimmers finds one of my eggs. It's going to be a tough two weeks!

Welcome terroblee!

Ok I started using my monitor yesterday on cd 9 and the reading was low. Well today on cd 10 it was high. This is my 3rd month using the monitor and i have always had like 3-4 low days. I hope that this means i will O earlier too. this is getting so frustrating! Maybe just maybe i will get a peak this month too.....grr.

Hey all you 40 and fertile ladies!!! I am praying strong healthy eggs and everything else! Ok, so I kept getting neg. hpts and used about 10 in the last 3 days. I didn't test at all yesturday, or today, and I should be 14dpo today, due tomorrow. I had the urge to pee on a stick but only had opk's in the house so I peed on that. To my surprise it had a fairly dark line....? Why would it do that? I know i'm not ovulating the day before my period????

Angel- sending and your way.

Swimmom- Hmm not sure what to make of that. I have heard of it going both ways as in getting a positive opk before a positive hpt or a positive hpt before a positive opk.

Thank you for your prayers, I called dr. and they have me on bedrest for the weekend then go in for bloodwork next week. They did say that this can happen and everything be ok, but also could go the other way too. But still just spotting nothing heavy, no cramping or anything, and now it is more of a brownish color rather than bright red like earlier this morning (sorry tmi) so hoping that is a good sign. i dunno. But just trying to relax, pray and put it in God's hands. I feel bad going on, because we have been blessed with 6 beautiful children, and others that are struggling just to have one, we just really wanted one more because with our lil guy who was a bit of a surprise, there is a 10 yr gap between him and big sis, so was hoping to have 1 more so he could have a sibling close to his age as well. But it is all in God's hands, and have to see what his plan is for us.

ANGEL: DON'T MOVE OF YOUR BED, DON'T DO NOTHING, ONLY GO TO BATHROOM PLEASE. Your bb must stay with you. I don't usually pray, but i'll do it for you. Calm, you and your bb are the first priority now. Big kiss and hug.
