Athena sorry to hear about your af

Kristi - I was high risk with my last due to prior ectopic, prior C-sections & most of all AGE, so LO had her pic taken every few weeks. It was reassuring to see her & see the heartbeat since they scare the shit out of you for having the nerve to conceive over age 35.

Thank you ladies for all of y'all's support.

@Athena - Hugs. Sorry AF showed. Hang in there! Your day is coming.

@Waiting - Girl you have me on pins and needles. Hope this is your BFP and sending some baby cement your way, so this one sticks!

@Mandy - Sorry your in-laws are a challenge. I also understand the pressure of time - especially when the docs make it seem like advanced maternal age is dreamkiller. I started taking DHEA and plan to take it for 4 months or so to see if it makes a difference in egg quality. At this point, I'm willing to try anything!

@Memph - So...you have us in suspense. What did the FRER say?

@Kristi - Congrats on the Twinkies! We are so happy for you.

I also want to say congrats to the other ladies with recent BFPs. It seems like we are on a lucky streak and I'm hoping some more of us can join all of you this month!

Thanks holly,
I have heard of dhea but my fertility specialist said it can cause unwanted hair
so I didnt try it. Did you see the link I sent if your willing to try anything its all to do with manuka honey, bee pollen and royal jelly. Also coq10 is suposed to be great. Chia seeds is a superfood and is suposed to help. Not sure what you are taking at the moment.

Oh. By the way....what the heck is going on with my BBT? Is it the letrozole/femara? It is all over the place.

Thanks Mandy. I will take a look. I didn't mention it, but I'm also taking Wheat Germ Oil, FertileCM, CoQ10, Folate (since I cannot process folic acid), and Vitamin D. I have taken Royal Jelly in the past, but forgot to start this cycle and thought I would wait until next time.

When I got my BFP in December (the best one yet), I used a ton of stuff...including Muscinex, Soy Isoflavones, Royal Jelly, Evening Primrose Oil, Softcups, Preseed, and I drank a glass of grapefruit juice a day.

The only problem with trying a lot of different things, is if you get a BFP, you have no idea what worked!

If I don't get a BFP by Xmas, I'll start seeing my RE again.

Looks like you on the ball as far as supplements. I think I read something about evening primrose oil that you can only take for a certain amount of time in your cycle, but I could be wrong or could be something else im thinking of.

this is the link

You can only take evening primrose up until ovulation because it can cause uterine contractions.

Yes thank you athena I thought it was something like that was just looking it up. Some say ots ok but others say its not.
how are you feeling today athena
