39 and trying to conceive:-(

I'm taking charting break. My plan (so I say now) is I will OPK only until I get my first smily. Then stop. No lines to scrutinize. Using cb digi. Going to focus on days. I know I ovulate either 13-16 so I'm going to push DB to be consistent with EOD. I also am not getting anymore ic tests. I have a pack of frers so if I'm gonna poas its gonna cost me! That out to hold be back a little :haha:
Have considered temping for one week just to confirm ov. Still not sure.
 
Hi. I am glad you ladies are going to get hsg done. My hsg showed a blocked right tube and adenomyosis (I was so shocked).
I scared myself reading about hydrosalpinx today. You can have it and have no symptoms and the fluid can kill the embryo and cause mc. Geeeeeeez. So I checked all my paperwork and there is no indication I have this.
I have never had laproscopy done though, so I am considering doing laproscopy to get a better look at the uterus and everything. I talk with the doctor next friday about whether or not this is indicated (how could it hurt).
Me and fiance Bd'd only once during my fertile time (the day of O). It just wasn't possible before that. I O on day11 (early). My plan is to take baby aspirin and stop the chinese herbs (just in case a miracle happens). :flower:
I start "estrogen priming" on D21-28 and then get US on D1 of period and the stims begin (providing there is no delay due to other issues). I still have to buy all my meds online. Probably about $2500-3000.
Good luck with the HSG. It only hurt me cuz my right side was blocked and they kept pushing to try to get the fluid through. Had it not been blocked, the procedure would have been quicker and would not have hurt so much. After its done there was no real pain except a little cramping and spotting. Take a valium if you can!

I wouldn't do a lap unless they think you need it. Do you have a hx of endo or cysts?
Fx'd for you on the full blown IVF cycle!

If I go for hsg I will take a handful of Advil and Valium! Also a friend of mine at work, works in radiology and she has offered to hold my hand if I request it from the director. :-) I'm such a baby lol
 
Hang in there Bonnie. I had to wait almost a year before I got my BFP. It will come for you too.

how are you feeling Casper?

Hey bonnie,

I see you hv been around long and know quite a bit about all this TTC'ing. Please help clarify things for me with your experience.
I am 39 TTC #2. Had high prolactin which is under control now with Cabergoline. My cycles are pretty normal except for once or twice a year when they go off for a ride. Otherwise, 31-33 days. Last 2 months were 33 days and 31 days respectively and now this one I was on cd 19 with no ovulation according to BBT so approached a doc. She asked me to get u/s done to see if I ovulate at all. Turns out follies were only 13mm on cd 19 but then on follow-up u/s on cd 23 they grew to 19mm. That's when my doc gave me HcG trigger and I expected to ovulate in 36 hours. Follow up u/s at 41 hours (cd 25) showed the follie to be still present and not ruptured. Now I am at cd 26 and have no clue what this all means. No ovulation after the trigger shot? possible? When is the latest I could have ovulated if at all? My doc says I should just keep BD'ing and take HPT on 16th July. But really?...could I have ovulated at all if so late after the trigger?
Please help. I know this is like a life story size post but looking for some similar stories if anyone can help.

Hi sun
I'm sorry your journey is so confusing. And I wish I had some answers for you but I have not had any interventions yet myself. There are lots of ladies though who have experience with triggers and such. I hope that your follie was stubborn and did eventually rupture. Are you still temping? That should clue you in to if and when it did. I wish you :dust:

Yes, I have been charting this month. My temps have in fact fallen past the trigger while I hoping for a rise. Did see some ladies mention that the trigger messes up the temps and they don't really work as a system to tell ovulation after it. Well, have decided to just go with the flow and let time tell. Will be taking HPT on the 16th of July so now the 2WW. Thanks Bonnie for your response.
Baby dust to you too!! Take care!
 
My temps have gone up...finally...!! Guess, I ovulated after all...well, covered all the basis with BD and now in the 2WW. Hope this month works for us all!!

Baby dust to all you ladies!
 
Hang in there Bonnie. I had to wait almost a year before I got my BFP. It will come for you too.

Holy crap! I was on vacation and must have missed your BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew it was just a matter of time for you gals that have no real issues other than age.

So did your temps go up? when? were you triphasic?
What about symptoms?
What DPO did you test?
Did you have implantation dip or bleeding?
Did you just "know" you were pregnant?
 
Well we BD'd the day before O and the day after, so FF gave me a "good" rating. Looking back at all my charts, I only have "good" ratings and only one "great". Maybe that's an issue but it's hard to get my fiance to BD 3 times in a very short time frame. Oh well.
I am 7DPO today. I want to test Sunday (12DPO).
 
I have never gotten a score higher than good either. I have the same problem.
We bd 2 days before ov and on ov day. I was too tired and in pain after a mountain hike to throw in day after ov. Not that he would have been up for it either. Lol

3dpo for me today.
I want to hold out to at least 12 if not to 16.
I'm not temping anymore this cycle either.

I will be consumed with school the next few weeks anyway so I have enty to distract me. Not that that ever helps either. :haha:
 
:dust::dust:
to all you lovely ladies!!
I'm glad to see a chart Bonnie! :winkwink: How I have something to watch but not comment on :blush:
I should ovulate today. We've been trying to do the every second day until my first positive OPK (which was two days ago). So we'll go until my temp goes up, which should be tomorrow. Then, I'm back in the TWW. :coffee:
 
Well, I've been reading up on the day after O, trying to find out just how important that day is to conception. We did BD the day after in the morning, but everything I've read says it's of little help because you've already O'd, however, you don't know exactly when the egg was released. So if the egg was released at 4pm on the day of ov, then you have 12-24 hrs of time to conceive. So that's why BD on day after O is just to make absolute sure you got it I guess.
Here is the link to my chart.

I'm getting sooooooooooooo crazy that I've been temping in the middle of the day just to see if it's still up. I don't know that there is any value to this.
After the last ET, my temp went up to 99.0 for 2 days just before I found out BFN, so it really threw me for a loop because it has never been so high. So during that time I would check during the day too and it was still 99.0. Maybe I was just sick, but that was such a mean thing the universe did to me!
 
I've read that the egg is really only viable for up to 12 hours so I tend to believe a last ditch effort the day after if you have been bd all along is just more for fun.

Also mid-day temping isn't going to tell you much of anything. It's that resting basal temp that is important.

I looked at your chart. Are you temping at different times? Becuase you have a lot of open circles.

Hang in there. TWW sucks
 
I am lucky my temps are taken as on time as they are. I don't sleep through the night almost ever. The ideal time I take my temp is 0630am, but if I get up at 0500am and am awake and can't get back to sleep and then I may have to get up to pee, I figure I better take my temp before I start moving around because I can't sleep for another 3 hrs to get that resting temp again. Also, fiance snores, I wear ear plugs when I sleep but it doesn't always help cuz he is soooooooooo loud, so he wakes me up and then I'm already awake and I have to get up to pee so I temp before I start moving. I temp anywhere between 5am and 0730am. On the weekends I may sleep later than normal and I'll be damned if I'm going to set my alarm for 0630am just to take my temp! Sleep is too precious for me to do that!
That being said, I know how important it is to temp at the same time every day. My best bet is to temp after the 3 or 4 hrs of complete rest, its the best I can do.
Also I have limited the amount of water I drink by 7pm so I don't have to deal with peeing in the middle of the night, but then I think about how we are all supposed to stay so freaking hydrated and how a lot of water is good for CM and its all just a crazy freaking mess!
