Higher chance of chemicals over 35?

[LuvallmyH]

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great one!

Cd13 here & no + opk yet. My dh just left this morning traveling. He won't be home until Saturday. I'm hoping if I O between now & then the bd from this morning will be enough. I feel like missing out on a cycle is worse than a bfn!

It's been terrible weather here too. Raining a lot. It is supposed to warm up for the rest of the week though. I think the weather in New England is bipolar! We can have a 40 degree swing in a day!

Fxing for us ladies!

Hey ladies how is everyone? I'm CD 16 and "think" I may be ovulating today, I do hope so! Xxxx

 

[LuvallmyH]

Catch that egg!!!
I'm 2dpo & I actually feel really excited & hopeful this cycle. My dh was traveling & I was supposed to o while he was gone. But... My body waited for him to come home! I have been consistently oing on cd16, but it was cd19 this cycle. Everything lined up perfectly.

 

[Oasis717]

That sounds promising!!!! Yay I know I've o CD 15 last 3 cycles but CD 16 and waiting today but I'm hoping I'm just a day over, lots of bd yest and today so fingers crossed! Xxx

I think I just had my second chemical in a row. I've had 2 before, but now that I am 38 I am wondering if my age is a factor. Any insight?

I haven't read through all the responses, but I just wanted to ask - have you had your LH/FSH levels checked? I had 2 months out of 3 where I had faintly positive (but definite lines) HPTs, and as it turned out my HCG was at 5 and my FSH was 90 - the reason I was getting a line was my hormone levels. My doc said menopause, but being 37 (38 now) I refused to buy it. I'm seeing Dr. Check and Cooper in three weeks for a consult. In the meantime, I've started a multi-vitamin and Co Q10 for egg quality. I know DHEA can lower FSH levels, but the root cause is egg quality and quantity, so I'm trying to address that. I thought the first positive was a cp. The second I started asking questions. We've been TTC for a year, NTNP for 3.

I personally have not had anything checked. I did have blood work back in May & my hug was under 5. At this point I can't justify going through any extreme measures to have another child. I'm just having faith that if it's meant to be it will be. Thanks for your input

Hi ladies hope everyone is OK, 7 dpo today and temps much better this cycle and no spotting like my last odd cycle where for the first time i started spotting at 6 dpo, few symptoms but BFN on ICS so hmmmmm they could just be usual progesterone symptoms, was a little upset on another thread where I answered a lady that started a perimenopause thread and some member that didn't answer her thread answered me with my quote saying I really have to watch now at my older age as I'm such a high risk of a disabled child and it would be better to get checked out than go month to month going no where, I was appalled, I've never even spoken to her before, good job I didn't listen to people like her at 41 when I conceived my gorgeous now one year old!! Xxxxx

 

[LuvallmyH]

Well, looks like right at this second I am pregnant. I don't know if I will stay that way. The tests are scaring me!
Top is $ store test & it is actually bfp even though the pink did not clear yet. You can see it better in a different pic. The wondfo are fmu, last night, fmu & last night.
I can't go through another cp. I just can't.

That's terrible! Whst a terrible thing to say! Good luck this cycle!

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks luv, I know it was an awful thing to say xxx wow yes I see those lines, I trust the wondfo too, everything crossed, have you got any symptoms? Xx

 

[LuvallmyH]

I am feeling symptomatic & I just have a good feeling. I'm trying to focus on that & not the crappy tests. A lot harder than it should be! For right this second I'm still pregnant. Praying I stay that way. I'll update either way.

 

[Oasis717]

Oh I am so very very pleased for you and I so hope this is your sticky bean xxxxxx

 

[LuvallmyH]

After much stress today I got this before bed!

It's been crazy difficult for me to relax about this. I'm just so worried it's just gonna be another cp. The good news is I still have symptoms & last time they just disappeared.

 

[Oasis717]

Yay Omg that's amazing so so pleased for you!!! I got a v v faint line on an ic last night but I'm guessing evap so......although boobs hurt all up the sides, no spotting, but my temp dropped so idk lol. So bloody pleased for you though, wish I had some wondfos xxx

 

[LuvallmyH]

Thanks, Hun. I am really surprised with the wondfo. It's been more sensitive than sure predict & frer!
I hope your temp drop was just implantation!

Here is fmu. I'm that thinking it's not such a squinter anymore. Now if I can just stay pregnant!

I am so sorry about what that lady said. People sometimes say things without thinking about how it affects the other person. I am 35 and people IRL have said pretty mean things about me trying for a second baby at this age. It hurts me but DH says that they are probably jealous and just trying to discourage you from having another baby.

My dads aunt who happens to be my great aunt had planned to have all her babys 7 years apart. First one at 25, second at 32, 3rd at 39 and 4th and last one at 46. All her kids were conceived naturally and they are all geniuses with PHD's. The youngest is the smartest and is 3 years older than me and is a professor at a university. Bad things can happen at any age not just in the 40s. All we can hope for is to catch a good eggy and have a healthy and beautiful baby.

I wish you all the best and pray that you get a BFP soon.

What lovely words they really lifted me today if only everyone thought that way Thank you so much for messaging, and what a fantastic story about your great aunt, that most definitely gives me a lot of hope, I don't know how anyone could say anything mean to anyone but at 35 its ludicrous, so many women are having children later and I consider 35 a spring chicken lol, wishing you lots of luck TTC xxxxxx
