40 trying for number 2.

[iwantanother]

I am 39, 40 in April. TTC #2 DS is 13. I have had 4 m/c in the last 13 years and the most recent was 2 yrs ago. I for sure thought I was done but then met the love of my life and he has no children so here we go. I have just begun TTC this cycle. Because of my m/c history my dr has me on prometrium cd14-28 to help my lining. I am also taking 75mg DHEA a day. Anyone with experience with either??? I fear the prometrium gives me the same side effects as pregnancy symptoms. I had gastric bypass surgery in 08 and lost 145lbs so I feel healthy and ready to do this. I now have a very stress free life. Major stress I think caused the previous m/c's. I am also looking for a buddy. I am charting but again fear the prometrium messes with my temps.

I concieved DS with clomid 14 yrs ago. So if we are no pg in a couple months we will try the challenge again.

So excited!!

Glad you found us. Welcome!

Hi Chillbilly. I'm new to this site and your story sounds similar to mine. I'm 40 and am TTC baby#2. I started in July of this year and I used a digital OPK and it worked on the first try. My husband and I was so excited and couldn't believe it worked so quickly. However our excitement ended 6 weeks later in miscarriage and we've been trying ever since to conceive again. Unfortunately, the quick success I had with the monitor has not been repeated so far. I'm in the 2WW now at 10 DPO with my AF expected in 3 days. I have no symptoms so I'm pretty sure I'm out this month. I'm really starting to get nervous, anxious, disappointed and scared. I should be glad that I was able to get pregnant so quickly, but now I'm wondering if it's a fluke. Going on these sites and hearing people's stories does seem to help in staying positive.

AF is due tom. ugh! almost done waiting!

 

[iwantanother]

tia tammy- good luck in 4 days.......Hope the witch doesn't show!!!!!

 

[iwantanother]

I have never temped before. anyone want to give me a quick crash course?

 

[CHILLbilly]

from what I have ead..... you need an ovulation thermometer..needs to have 2 decimal points not like the normal thermo's.......
have to take temps in bed ame time every day and no moving around as it can raise your temps.
when you chart every day you will see the ovulation spike.... it tells you after u ovulate..so must watch your charts I guess....

another good thing about temping.....just before you are expecting AF...you will get rise of temps if pregnant..or they drop if not.

i have never tempted as i get up at different times..( OH gets up at 5:30 ..and I toss and turn until I get up hours later) plus I think I would obsess about it...... I obsess enough..haha.


If I am wrong please someone correct me......

have you tried ovulation sticks??

 

[tiatammy]

tia tammy- good luck in 4 days.......Hope the witch doesn't show!!!!!

Thankyou chillybilly I hope it doesnt show either. now just found out hubby has to go for more test he might be diabetic the one test came back on the high side, I just dont know how much more bad knews IU am going to be able to take,Then my dad he finds out his kidneys are failing has to go on a dialysis machine, it has really been nuts.I an getting so down in spirits, my dad is all I have left as far as parents my mom died years ago with luegaretts dicease,,,, hope this finds you well and happy

 

[iwantanother]

thanks for the help. does the spike come when you ovulate or before. i do use OPK usually get a pos on CD 12 or 13. lasts 2 days which is weird. the pos tells me i will ovulate in the next 12-48 hrs? i think i need to temp to pinpoint how soon or late after pos OPK i ovulate. i think thats why we keep missing. idk just looking and obsessing of course!!!! so sorry for everone having troubles! god bless!

Thankyou chillybilly I hope it doesnt show either. now just found out hubby has to go for more test he might be diabetic the one test came back on the high side, I just dont know how much more bad knews IU am going to be able to take,Then my dad he finds out his kidneys are failing has to go on a dialysis machine, it has really been nuts.I an getting so down in spirits, my dad is all I have left as far as parents my mom died years ago with luegaretts dicease,,,, hope this finds you well and happy[/QUOTE]
