Higher chance of chemicals over 35?

[Oasis717]

Hey Becks how are you doing? Did you get af in the end? How is ur week going? I hope ur well xx what cd are u hun?

Afm - I think I'm about 7dpo -- sorry for tmi but have loads of green tinged cm which I believe is sign of progesterone - have u ever heard that? We went up to see sil at the weekend who has a 6 week old baby so cute - he just snoozed and snuggled the whole time - you really forget how tiny they are!! Adorable

Oh yes it definitely is!! A nurse at the hospital told me that and I get it every single month for a day around 3/4 dpo I use it as an extra confirmation I've o! Its also a sign of pregnancy how exciting!!!! Xxx
AFM I'm CD 5 and AF is leaving but I did get an extra day to my lp giving 13 so I'm just so so hoping for a Xmas bfp, I should be around 10dpo on Xmas day xxxx

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 dont thats true at all. I read an article that said chemicals and mmc are more known and recognized now because we know sooner that we are pregnant because of the tests that we have now days. They are much more sensitive now than ever before and before the tests we have now we missed pregnancies/miscarriages because most of the time we didnt even know we were pregnant. I dont think its got anything to do with age at all.

Hey Becks sorry for tmi but I've had loads of that greenish stuff this month, seems to be every day! Interesting! maybe it is just my body trying really hard after the mmc. I think I'm about 9 dpo - Im not sure when u count from? I got +opk on Tuesday 26th so I work that out to be about 9dpo!? I don't know whether ur supposed to include the day of O as day 1!! Anyway did a test and was negative prob a bit too soon - with last PG I didn't get a + til 11dpo!! Will prob just get af anyway!! How r u doing? All set for weekend? We r going to do tree tonight finally!! I have my fingers & everything else xd that u get a bfp sticky bean for xmas xx

Thanks my lovely, I so excited for you, only time I had that everyday was when I was pregnant with Brooklyn!!! Ooooo, everything crossed! Hard to pin point o exactly for you as you can o anywhere from 12 to 72 hours after your pos opk! The day after you o is classed as 1dpo, 1 day post ovulation, with temping you get your o day and know exactly how many dpo you are I think you're prob less than 9dpo and def too early for a test if you are so don't loose heart! I've just tried my clearblue ovulation monitor, very easy! Low fertility but I expected that on cd6 lol I just wanted to give it a try! Xxxx

Thanks for your post I really hope that's right cause id love to have more of a chance, wishing you luck in your upcoming birth xxxxxx

Thanks for the info Becks x I thought it was the day after O u start from so prob roughly around 9dpo or so. I have to say even if I was PG I am just so disillusioned from 3 cp's and a mmc that I wouldn't even believe it was a sticky baba!! I would be happy to have a + obviously but kindof bracing myself for the worst agin iykwim - I'm sure ur the same hun after ur cp's & mcs.

That is great ur cd6 - gearing up for lots of bd!! What day do u usually O? Is it the simely face CB fertility monitor? I tries that once ages ago - v expensive xx

 

[Oasis717]

Yes that's it the fertility monitor its so dear but I'm hoping it can help those o strips are so hard to read sometimes! I've been o on CD 15 every cycle but after taking b6 it went to cd14 so still a bloody long 8days! Hate this wait lol. I know exactly what you mean getting the bfp is just the first hurdle isn't it! Fingers crossed we never have another cp!! Xx
PS we have two trees lol me and dh are worse than the kids!! Xx

 

[Sunshine14]

Ah Becks is that ur little fella Brooklyn? He is a cutie pie xx u must be very proud of him -- I bet he will luv all the excitement of xmas especially if u & dh are into it!! We have got a tree now and are going to decorate it today - we need to get a table and chairs as well for xmas day so have been scouring the internet for something cheap and half decent! I've been soo busy at work that I haven't really got in the xmas spirit yet - so need to get in the mood! Haven't done any xmas shopping as well agh!!!! Was watching the xmas music channels this morning hoping the music would make it real - maybe when the tree is up will feel better!!! Your trees are lovely btw - v christmassy xx I must get a picture up in my profile but I can never seem to get round to it! I tested this morning with fmu at what I think is about 10dpo & got bfn - it's weird cos some months (when I had the cp's) I just knew I was pg & this month apart from ever so slightly bigger, sore boobs nothing (apart from loads of green cm) so actually thinking I'm prob out this month as I don't even feel pg!! & the mild symptoms I do have are prob just pms oh well .....

So how are you doing anyway? 7 days to O now have u started the bding yet? Fingers xd this is ur month hun xx would be really fab for u to get a bfp on xmas day xx

 

[Oasis717]

Yes this is Brooklyn dh just took it I think its got to be the best one he's taken of him Thank you we think he's beautiful xxx
I'm really hoping your wrong and the symptoms just haven't kicked in yet! So so hoping and keeping everything crossed for you, you so deserve that bfpxx
I know even with the trees up I don't feel v christmassy maybe when everyone puts theirs up and there's lights etc everywhere. I would dearly dearly love a xmas bfp but I'm not too hopeful, but I guess you never know! Yes bd already lol but we always do TTC or not! a week til I O hate the wait! Xx

Thanks ladies but I'm not sure what is going on -- I did another cheapie test this morning & just about got an evap line & 2 cheapie ones now and only squinter of lines!!! Sorry for tmi but I used same wee and did a boots early response one and it came up faint positive (not massively dark but very obvious) so don't know what's going on!!!! Would be about 12dpo today but keep waiting for the cp to start .........

I really hope that's not the case! I'm still holding out hope.

 

[Nikki1979]

Congrats Sunshine. You are 12dpo so still have a lot more time to get a dark line. Fingers crossed that this is your rainbow baby.

 

[Oasis717]

Yes I think its still really early for a dark line dont panic yet! Everything crossed for you, make sure you don't leave your wee sitting about for tests I did that with Brooklyn and got a neg! It had only been on the windowsill half hour! Xx

 

[Sunshine14]

Ahh thanks ladies xx I did a fr test today and also decided to do an opk to see if that was showing anything darker & did the internet cheapie tests again - bl**dy internet cheapie tests are all showing no progression whatsoever & in fact seem to be disappearing!! Whereas the other test are all BFP & dark lines - the fr one was a very clear pink line & the opk one was as dark as the control line almost!!! The bl**dy internet tests are all duds (wtf!!) so have been winding myself up thinking it was another cp when it isn't (not yet anyway!!). Have been feeling sick today on and off (which I don't usually get) & my boobs all have big blue veins all over them so fingers xd : ) am going to take each day as it comes and just see what happens! I went to recurring mc clinic today & told her I was pg & she prescribed me baby aspirin and progesterone until 12 weeks and also said they will book me in for a 7 week scan - she was sooo lovely - really nice doctor bless her - I'm actually starting to feel a little bit hopeful with this one!! But don't want another mc boo, hoo .....

Anyway luv how far along are you now? Will u get a scan soon??? Hope everything is progressing well for u hun xx fingers xd for u sweetie xx

Becks that is soo funny about ur wee - made me laugh out loud xx I was thinking about u hun & getting ur BFP for xmas & was wondering how often u dtd before /around O? I have been PG 5 times this year & we dtd every second day from about cd 6 & it seems to really work as I have read abstaining for 2 days after sex replenishes spermies & increases the numbers - so was just wondering whether that might get u ur xmas bfp that u sooo deserve?? xx

Nikki thanks for ur kind words hun xx I need some positive thoughts at the mo! Was wondering as u post occasionally whether u wanted to join the thread? - if so we would love to have u join & welcome to the group xx if not feel free to keep posting occasionally!! : )

 

[Oasis717]

Aw I am so so pleased and ditch the ICS they are evil! I've had so many fake bfps with them they are total rubbish! Go with the proper tests and your decent lines fantastic news about the clinic, I'm so v pleased you're getting some decent support xxxxx we've tried so many diff ways TTC and bd and the only method that has ever got me pregnant in the last two years is more bd, I'm a source of amusement on my over 40 thread I've been on since 2012 as they don't know where I get my energy from but we bd 3 times a day in the run up to o and then after a pos opk 4/5 times a day! Its the only method that's worked, when I was 36 it took just one time to conceive Casey but all that's changed good job dh is only 26 and plenty of energy lol. I would so love a Xmas bfp and to join you ladies but I guess we will see xxxxxxxxxx

 

[Nikki1979]

Sunshine - I would love to join this thread. I guess I should give some background information. I am 35 and have been ttc number 2 for the past 21/22 months. I have had 2 early losses/chemical pregnancies and they both have been before I turned 35. I am getting frustrated and feeling like it will never happen for me. I have a slightly underactive thyroid and am on medication but its not stabilised yet. I had my first appointment with an RE 2 weeks ago and she ordered heaps of tests as well as a Semen Analysis for DH. DH gave his sample at the clinic on Monday.

My next appointment is on January 13th and that's when the RE will make a treatment plan for us. DH has agreed to do 3 cycles of IVF and am praying that it works for us. My DS who is 7 1/2 is really desperate for a sibling. A few months ago I heard him praying and asking god for a baby brother or sister. He said please god give me a baby brother or sister as I really really want one. He is so gentle with little babies and always plays with them. I feel so terrible for not being able to get pregnant.

Hi ladies just got back from the doctors and tbh I won't be using anything anymore, dh has been asking me for months to throw the thermometer away and the o tests, it really takes over and as my libido increases along with my cm I know when I'm coming up for o and we bd anyway. My new doctor is absolutely lovely, he basically said dh is spot on, that all this temp taking, tracking cm, charts, tests just takes over and causes stress which can interfere with fertility, he said I'm fertile because my cycles and o are regular and I got pregnant twice this year and have had live births one which was only just over a year ago, he advised getting rid of the thermometer, tests etc just like dh has said and just enjoy my husband, relax and there is still plenty of time for another baby, as I've had both sexes too that equally showed no problems, he seriously doubts if anything has changed from when I had the tests with Brooklyn as the time period is too short and I've had two pregnancies this year, he said whether they result in losses or not a pregnancy means you are fertile still, it does take a bit longer at my age but told me not to give up, relax and keep trying, I felt so relieved as I left, this whole TTC has completely taken over and I should of followed dh advice months ago! So when this cycle is over its all going in the bin!! Xxxx
