Almost 44 final ttc journey -- buddies needed : )

[Sunshine14]

Hey ladies how are you all xxx

Welcome Shannon xxx hope u get ur bfp soon!

How is everyone? Becks did af get u? Where is everyone else at in cycle?

I had spotting for a good few days and think it's just body getting back to normal after mc. I got af properly and on cd3 today. I'm going to start soy iso tonight just a low dose and then do a trigger at + opk & see if that helps produce any extra eggs of which one might be good! Not holding out too much hope though........ half term here and my honey is putting in a bathroom so all a bit crazy!

 

[Oasis717]

Hi love my body is all over the show thought AF would start yest after the bright red spotting in the morning but nope nothing, still cramping so thinking AF will still be early. Spotting started tues so no chance of pregnancy if my lining keeps breaking down so early "sigh" xxx

 

[Sunshine14]

Hey Becks how are u hun? Did the witch show in the end? Don't worry about ur lp the months ur pg u have no problem with implantation - u just need a good egg xx

I'm cd6 today & taking low dose of soy isoflavone & a trigger to see if it helps get a decent eggy - today is day 4 of soy ......

Hope everyone else is ok?

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks hunni hope so! Good luck with the soy. Cd3 today AF was a day early and day 3 is always my worst and heaviest day now, years ago it was CD 1 and 2 that were bad now its 3! Xx

Thanks to you and everyone else who are on this forum. It is nice to see that I am not the only one out there trying to conceive at a later age. I am 39 and in serious baby fever. I have two girls already ages 4 and 11 yrs old. I had both prematurely at 28 wks due to PE. So, I am nervous about everything. But, I really want a third. I am so glad to have found a forum where I can have discussions with people who are going through the same process. Hopefully, I can get to a BFP before the end of the year, but I know that it wishful thinking

 

[Oasis717]

Hi and welcome! I had my 2 year old at nearly 42 so there definitely is hope! Wishing you lots of luck and a xmas bfp to us all xx

 

[tag74]

Welcome!!

Oasis, any news from you? Did AF show?

 

[Oasis717]

Yes love I'm CD 3 now ah well just have to try harder in think the relaxed approach isn't working! How are you? Xxx

Morning ladies, hope you are all well and welcome to the new ladies.

Sunshine good luck with the Soy this month. Did you get prescribed the trigger or did you source your own? I'm starting to look into it as I want to keep all my options open.

I'm still choking down a collection of supplements every day to try to improve my egg quality so we can start TTC in December but I'm feeling nervous that I've left it too late. On the one hand I want to give my body a fair chance to do things by itself but on the other I really don't want to waste time. I'm having another cycle that's a bit wacky, cycle day 25 after a week of ovulation pain and days of positive OPK, my temps have finally gone up today but I am ill with a virus so still don't know if I've ovulated!

Oasis sorry AF got you again, do you have any plans for being less relaxed? It's hard to know what to do for the best isn't it?

Take care all.

 

[Oasis717]

Yes 5 months of relaxed attitude and zero luck! I think due to the fact I haven't a clue when I'm o I will start using opks from this month just to make sure we are bd at the right time as we could be missing it entirely! Also I'm back on the diet that has seen me get pregnant 3 times in 6 months, I've found that sugar massively affects my cycle and my chances of conceiving so I will steer clear completely. I think this cycle is out for trying as I really need too rid myself of this bloody thrush for good but in December we will give it our all. After 6 months if no luck I think I will finally concede that my time just has passed but I feel like I have to give it one last shot! Xxx
Hope you feel better soon love xxx

 

[tag74]

Luna, I totally get it, and you just reminded me to choke down mine!!!

Oasis, will you still try or just not feeling it this cycle?

I am waiting to O. I think in the next 24-72 hours. Everything is just so messed up from the back to back MC. So frustrating.

FX to us all!

xoxo xoxo

 

[Oasis717]

Not sure whether to try or not still have a bit of thrush xx

 

[tag74]

Go with your Gut hon. Thinking of you! I think my OPKs will be positive by tonight.

Wish me luck!

 

[Oasis717]

Wishing you so much luck we've already bd today so I guess we are trying then lol! Xxx

 

[tag74]

Whoop! Whoop!

 

[Oasis717]

Lol! I'm only CD 7 and I have ewmc already I'm wondering if I might be o earlier and have been missing it? Must get some opks! Xx

 

[lunamoona]

Oasis and tag wishing you both lots of luck this month, looks like you are cycle buddies too.

Oasis definitely get some OPK's, I find that now I'm older my ovulation days do jump round a bit and I sometime have quite long stretches of EWCM, like a week to ten days before ovulation.

AFM I did ovulate but temps dropping quickly so it looks like a crappy LP this month, I still have this virus so maybe that's the reason I think I will do clomid next month to try and force my body into a more normal cycle and stronger ovulation. Wow! Can't believe I will be TTC next cycle, excited, nervous, hardly daring to hope.

 

[Oasis717]

Yes I keep meaning to I know without temping again opks are only a rough guide but I do nt want to get too caught upon obsessing about temps cause it was a bit of a nightmare when I did. Iget long stretches of ewmc as well usually around a week which is also confusing. My libido is up hence bd shortly after AF finishing. I guess though as long as we go back to bd everyday when imferti!e we are in with a chance. Hope your temp jumps back up again! Xx

 

[lunamoona]

Oasis I totally understand what you mean about obsessing, it so hard not to when just BD does not result in a BFP a couple of months later!
Good luck this month, even when our hormones cause our fertile signs to be a bit wonky I always find that libido is the one sign that stays accurate (according to my chart).

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks love and I agree the libido is definitely a constant and can be relayed upon. Before I'd ever used opks I had such a high libido one day (this is few years ago) I went and bought an Asda one and it was a massive dark positive! That was my first opk after coming on here I'd never heard of them before 2012 lol same as before coming on here I only ever did one pregnancy test! No progression tests just one faint line on a test and that was it! Sometimes I think ignorance was bliss lol xxx
