42+ pregnant?

[Kat S]

Do you think an IC would continue to show two dark lines 24 hours later if it caught the end of the surge? I'll be testing again soon and can't wait to see if it's still dark or now getting lighter again.

Blythe, I have also notice a very shortened period since I started the meds. I keep wondering if I should be on progesterone. Then I remind myself that these people are experts and win awards for their work...and then I remember that every time I walk in the office, the person who sees me changes and no one quite knows my story the way I'd like them to, and maybe they don't realize I need to be on progesterone? I'll ask next time I go in.

 

[Blythe]

Quite possibly. I just don't trust then anymore. It's a shame as it was probably just a bad batch!!

Have you had issues with your prog levels in the past? This is your healthcare and they are getting lots of money for this treatment. If you want something push for it....also question everything. They are the experts but they are also very busy and keen to get through work so make them stop and pay attention!!

 

[Kat S]

Blythe, it's true sometimes I just feel like a number they are pushing through the door. I hate it when they perform the IUI and then instruct us to "have sex tonight!". Honey, have you ever looked at my file? WE CAN'T!!! It's one of the reasons we are here! Oh, it's so infuriating.

 

[Blythe]

My DH just about manages twice during ovulation window. He couldn't produce twice in one day. You comment made me laugh....

 

[Kat S]

Oh, Blythe! See? They just say whatever is in the script when so many people don't fall into the scripted category. Not only is it frustrating, but it's painful to be reminded that our "performance" is not "normal".

Tell you what worked for me, although it may be too much information... when my husband was tired or grouchy, I would tease him and offer him to use me hahahaha, doggie style and I would assume the position, he could hardly say no then hahahaha (bit embarrassed lol) and if you are not in the mood, at least the job gets done. Men can't really say no that easily lol

My DH no longer has the sex drive, exhaustion etc. he says after a couple of bd that he doesn't feel he will produce anything. All that crap aside I cannot have sex without it being connected to TTC. I cannot do anything without it being connected to TTC and I'm afraid nothing I've tried will stop that and I've tried everything.

Hope pregnancy is going well

Every couple has their own unique situation. It get bait more complicated at our age. I myself don't have the same libido I used to have and mine is still healthier then my DF and we are not even married yet. Man are very sensitive when I comes to performance and if you push a little to hard it can do the opposite, specially when part of the problem is ED, hormonal or psychological. We need to understand and respect our partners and that goes both ways. Most of the time I can get away with being playful/sexy but there's a fine line. No one wants to feel they are not enough.

But on a better note, last cycle I was trying different things to help my almost non CM and I came across Largenine and was taking 1g 3x day, by the end of the wk I was so "ON" I was like "what's going on????" This supplement helps blood flow It felt like I had a constant itch, hahaha so I went back and googled it and found out men take it for ED as an alternative to Viagra. It's worth a try and it did help my CM, next I just need to convince him to take it, hehe

I have a different opinion..I think that familiarity ruins romance. I believe we get too used to our life, partners and mundane everyday things. I have been with my husband for 14 years and there was a patch in our lives where we didn't do it often. I got too involved in other things, i loved him but I didnt feel like getting jiggy with it. I later on realized I had resentment towards him and he towards me. After many years together, he had ways of showing love and appreciation in a way that it was like a foreign language. We were both saying "I love you" but in different ways. When things got worse we talked and talked and talked and realized a lot of things. We now go on dates, we have left the kids with relatives and have gone on holiday together, sometimes weekends where we could be again boyfriend and girlfriend and it has done wonders. We still fancy one another, we make time for one another and the more you do it, the more we want each other. I believe that couples get comfortable and complacent and life becomes a routine. There is an interesting book called "Beat the bitch" by Tess Stimpson. It is a best seller and you don't have to have marital problems to read and benefit from it. It is an eye opener, at least it was for me.

I am.confused... You mean that you could only have sex if you are trying to conceive? You mind me asking why? Am I understanding correctly?

Happy, I used to be of the same opinion but I now have a different one.my DF and have only been together less then a year and couldn't be more in love, we don't even live together yet so it's not familiarity or boredom our problem. He has erectile dysfunction and needs to take a pill way before so it can't just be spontaneous and when I want it. 10 years ago I was having sex twice a day with my then boyfriend. Right now as in love as I am I would love it every other day but its not possible. Back when I started taking the argenine I felt like I did 10 years ago but I had to pull back because it was making him uncomfortable, he feels intimidated, so he was asking me if he wasn't enough there was still time for me to rethink the relationship. That's why I said they can be sensitive and we need to respect everyone's unique situation and make the most of it. I'm happy with twice a week but we are two love birds right now. I'm ok with that, I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. This is my situation and I know the other girls have their own unique ones too.
