Favorite day of the week: fertility acupuncture day!

I also did a beta hCG and progesterone test this morning which should come back later today.

I am 10dpo and "expecting" AF Sunday, this (shortened) cycle. I am still getting strong physical symptoms.

I hope all are doing well. KMFX for a lot of BFPs for the fine vintage ladies this cycle.

Hello everyone,

I have been really busy and extremely tired so have only managed to read but not add. I hope you are all well and hope that we get some BFPs soon, sorry no personals :-(

Well I had spotting in the weekend which totally freaked me out, so I had a scan and bloods this week. The scan was ok with a sac that measured acurately but still too early to see anything in there. I had bloods the next day which was a shock at 13300, the next draw was today and that was 20100, so fingers crossed that this may be a lasting pregnancy. Still early days but I am cautiously optimistic...

Hey ladies! I'm gonna skip the personals 'cause I'm wiped! Nausea has me on the couch the majority of the day these days...

Had my 1st scan today! And..............it maybe, might could be twins!!! The doc is not sure 1 sack is viable but the other measures to date & has a heart rate at 115 (6 weeks 3 days) on the low end but normal at this stage.

I'm supposed to go back in a week & see what changes there are.

I'm feeling mixed right now...excited at the prospect but scared & apprehensive physically, not to mention financially. I worry too for the LO that does seem to be doing ok. If the other isn't going to make it, I don't want it to lesson the "good one's" chances.

Otherwise, I'm doing well. back to obsessing for another week!

Cheers!

That's a lot of excitement, ttc@41 and Aireising. HH9 months to you both!

Aireising, you might try a little ginger tea (made with fresh ginger, no more than 1gram per day) to knockout the nausea.

Justine, hang in there. I will be thinking sticky thoughts your way.

AFM, my progesterone has gone up since 7dpo. Today, -4 until AF, it is 17.4 ng/mL from 13.2. CD3 progesterone is <0.5 ng/mL. However, I had a negative serum hcg test. (<5 mIU/mL)

While I certainly feel strongly that I am pregnant from everything I am going through physically, I will not be too disappointed now if AF rears her head on Sunday. KMFX!

Good Morning Ladies! I think I am still waiting on the big "O". I had a +digital opk, on cd 6 and temp spike, but thinking it might of been a fluke or since I tried soy isoflavones this cycle, it may have caused a false +? My temps didn't confirm "O".

Well I'm on CD 11, temp just dipped this morning, lines are showing on digi opk but still -. so hopefully soon, been trying to stay busy and not obsess so much this cycle. and of course been every other day, atleast trying to, with hubby being tired when he gets home from work, or trying to dtd around the kids schedules with all their sports activities. Its getting interesting. hoping we catch an eggie this time.

To the others Congrats on your BFP's and as the other ladies said, it doesn't bother me at all, or hurt, it actually is nice to share in your happiness and see there is hope still irregardless of what we have been through :)

Hi everyone!! I'm 43 and we are TTC for #2! I started all the fertility "stuff" back in 2008 and it did not agree with me. We finally decided to go my route...natural. We started acupuncture and my first cycle we got pregnant. I have a beautiful daughter who is almost 3! :)

We got pregnant again in December and I lost the baby at the end of February. We are pretty sure it had to do with my thyroid level. It was around 7.5 when I lost the baby.

I got an endo on board, and now my thyroid is down to 0.824!!! AF is leaving the building as we speak, so I'm gearing up for next week! ;)

I am sending wishes of lots and lots of posts of pregnancy to us "older" gals!!!

Hi Ladies,

went MIA for a few days as there was nothing to post being on BCPs and all. I see all the preggo ladies are still going strong - YAY!!!

I also some news, not as exciting as a BFP, but some news. AF reared her head yesterday so I went to get my baseline appt this morning at the RE's office. U/s showed no cysts and he saw some follicles (I had hoped for a few more, but he said it's too early to see or say anything about how the cycle will go.)

In any case, the important thing is that I got the go ahead and so I will start the injectables on Sunday. My next u/s is on April 30 and then we will see if we got some good eggs for retrieval. If all goes well, I should be in the 2WW starting around May 3...

Keep the good news coming ladies!!


Me: 43 DBF: 49 13 unsuccessful cycles TTC IVF #3: u/s 8w2d: bean stopped growing, no hb , 06/21 D&C IVF #4 BFP - it's a girl! 06-03-2013 Fiona Isabel was born

MMama...any news?

Torontochick...fingers crossed for May 3...:) Sticky vibes!

Destiny...Oh hi lady! :) How's baby? And Moma doing?

Mommymayer.. Welcome!:)

Angel...hope ovulation day was a perfect success!

Phew, I think I hit all of us fine ladies, if I didn't - my apologies!

All is well here! No obsessing this month. Just letting me rest a bit - I think I will obsess every other month...lol! Read some great articles on green tea though, apparently helps with fertility. I like warm drinks so I did add that to my choice of beverages! Other than that, my drive was up ;) so I must have been ovulating this weekend. Fingers crossed that relaxation and hubby focus is where it's at..

xxoo great week to everyone!
