October Testers - Over 35

[Milty]

I'm 38 now.

Last month was'nt complete but I have the previous two months but I don't know how to make them show.

 

[dachsundmom]

What meds did you take?

 

[Milty]

Claritin for my allergies and Nyquil. At first I thought it was the kind that makes your EWCM better but it wasn't.

 

[Indigo77]

My cycles were crazy regular like yours until last year.
It actually made me panic and finally agree to try for #1.
I was 38.5 years old when things started changing.
Not only that, but I always had a 7 day menses, and within a few cycles,
it settled into a 5 day menses and has been so for almost a year now.

Yep...any antihistamine could dry you out.

 

[Milty]

Yep...any antihistamine could dry you out.

but that is when I had more ewcm

do you think I really O'd? I'm not so sure. I have never not O'd except after having my son but I've also never not felt it.

Indigo I'm sure my age has a lot to do with this.

 

[Milty]

last night I panicked and thought oh my gosh I've completely run out of time

 

[Milty]

Yep...any antihistamine could dry you out.

Ok I'm slow. I just figured out what you meant I think.

You think I did O on the 14th but had no EWCM because of meds earlier and my temp should show that in a few days and move my O forward?

Honestly, I am not sure...I think we need to see a few more temps.

 

[Indigo77]

Why is there an open circle for CD13?

Why do you doubt you Oed on CD12? Because of your CM?

Did you say that OPKs don't work for you?

 

[Milty]

The time I tempt was later than usual making it an open circle.

Well CD 12 is just too early and I didn't feel anything. My temps seem to be low as well.

OPKs don't generally work for me because the will be positive for several days.

Hello Ladies, I'm 43 and MC on the 18th-19th of September. My DF is a truck driver and was home right around my ovulation time after the MC. Not planned or preventing pregnancy. Now I'm about 3 - 4 dpo. I will be testing around the 16th...if I can wait. Praying for a BFP and sticky baby dust to all of us.

 

[SuperAwesome]

Claritin for my allergies and Nyquil. At first I thought it was the kind that makes your EWCM better but it wasn't.

Hmm, does anyone know if Claritin has a negative effect on CM? I always stop taking it during my TWW because it's on the we-dunno-what-effect-it-has-in-the-first-trimester list, but what about the rest of the time?

Also, good luck Milty!

My doc says during AF only bc it can dry you out.

 

[Milty]

It was the childerns kind but I usually try not to take it but I was really sick this time and had too.

 

[dachsundmom]

Milty, take what's best for you...

 

[hugs3409]

will antibiotics dry you out too?? I was taking aleve sinus and then antibiotics for sinus infection around O time, maybe that is why I didn't have much CM. hmmm
