Just dropped by to let everyone know I am expecting AF to show up sometime tomorrow.

Work has picked up again and just learned that my dearest mama is very ill. I think I will pause in ttc while I concentrate on her.

I am loving keeping tabs on everyone. Please take care. I am here but will probably post very infrequently for the next month.

HH9 and baby dust to all!

hello ladies,
sorry i havent updated lately been real busy. well i finished those 5 days of pills and guess what still no period!! ugg. well i called dr. today and he told me to consider today cd3 and start the clomid anyways. ???? so guess i will start tempting again and take my clomid like a good girl. i am so confused as this is all ovrwhelming. meaning no period and starting clomid??? so we will wait and see. on the other side my is 21 today and sweet little granddaughtr is turning 2 on friday......so busy weekend hehe. their birthdays are only 2 days apart. will keep up a little better. i so love having you ladies here to be a support system. welcome to all you new vintage ladies

I am sorry MM to know that your mama is not doing well, hope she feels better

dmcj, good luck with Chlomid!

Today is my happy day because I got my real AF!!! (isn't it funny to hear it from the lady who desperately wants to get preg again and have a baby :) )
but I am very-very glad . I had d&c on march 2nd, at 5:30am and almost exactly 28 days later af comes back
I had a pretty serious PMS last couple days, poor dh - was not fun for him for sure :) then pm cramps and now I have my regular af with normal flow
so there is alight at the end of the tunnel (will I get there or not who knows but it least I see it and know what direction to move)
good luck to all of you!!!
any news from our 2ww ladies?

just compared my cycle to the last time I WAS pregnant & the things I could remotely say I was having this cycle....they are the EXACT opposite of the sx I was having in my pg cycle..go figure. *sigh*

dmcj101... for what it's worth, I think you should just continue and see what happens. I know that there is no longer the rule for Clomid from CD5-9 but you can also do CD4-8, CD3-7, CD2-6... you get the drift. Who knows, it may all work out :)

Airiesing... I know the feeling all too well *sigh*... been through this now many, many times...

AFM... 3 BCPs down (18 to go) and nothing to report. I guess I will spend the next month or so lurking...

Don't give up!! I had my first at 38,my second at 41 and now at 42 I'm pretty sure I'm on my way to number 3.

Once pregnant, I had good experiences with both girls-no issues ,age related or not.There are so many "older" mommies out there that the medical community has really stepped up on research and stats. I feel that this is our time!
