Over 30 & still trying for baby #1

[flou]

Congratulations Mrs Duck and I hope both you and Ruby are well.

Mrsduck hope you, Ruby, and DH are doing well!!

Itsawonder sounds like a lovely shower! Your little one is so close to making an appearance

I'm JUST starting to get very close to a positive opk so either today day 24 or day 25 for tomorrow...exhausting cycle way too long. Spoke with a nurse ( my doc of course is on vacation) who looked at my blood test and said levels are low but that is because I hadn't ovulated yet when I took the test. Doesn't look like clomid did anything so higher dose next round. I left a message for a specialist to make an appointment so at least that can be there just in case.

 

[ItsAWonder]

Buttrfly - sorry the Clomid didn't work this cycle but I hope the dosage is corrected for next month (if no BFP this month). Fingers crossed you and DH catch the egg!!

 

[ItsAWonder]

Buttrfly - any luck with your OPK?

 

[Buttrflyl553]

Ugh still not positive but creeping up to one.. Below is this mornings. I ran out if wondfos because of all the testing! Have 2 more frer opks so if doesn't become positive by tomorrow morning I need to buy more :/
On a good note made a consult for fertility doc on may 23!
Thanks for asking

 

[ItsAWonder]

Looks really close.... I hope you get a positive by tomorrow.

Can't wait to hear how things go on the 23rd! Hope you get your answers and placed on the right path. Of course, as always, I hope you get a BFP before then

 

[flou]

Buttrfly sorry the clomid doesn't seem to be working as you would have hoped but it does look like its nearly a positive so go get that egg! I hope you get that bfp. And if not good luck with the FS!

 

[Buttrflyl553]

Flou where are you in your cycle.. Did you O last week from what I remember?

 

[flou]

I'm in the tww now, about 4/5 dpo. So about 10 days until AF or bfp. Which will also coincide with my u/s scan. They haven't said it needs to be done at a particular part of my cycle so I am hoping if AF has started they can still see anything that they might possibly see.

 

[Buttrflyl553]

Eeeeek ladies do you feel this is positive? Trying to figure out if the test line has a tiny bit more to go ( I'm over analyzing) . Have to figure out whether I should buy OPKs while out or call it a day ( that was my last!). Last nights was much lighter so I didn't expect this.
Thanks in advance!

Good luck flou! As always thanks for the support itsawonder. Hope you are feeling well.

 

[ItsAWonder]

Flou - good luck!!!

Buttrfly - looks like a positive to me.

 

[CallMeAL1982]

Leslie, doesn't look quite there... I'd either just BD daily/EOD until temps rise or buy more opks.

 

[Buttrflyl553]

Thanks ladies...annoying thing is that it's lighter around 5pm. That is what happened last night too and then bam this morning. Not sure what it all means.
Callmeal I don't temp. How are you doing?

 

[CallMeAL1982]

It's possible you had a really short surge; more likely that your FMU was just really concentrated.

I've been pretty crappy, had a 119 day cycle, took provera, had 21 day cycle in femara, now on day 20 of my second femara cycle with no o in sight. Feel really hopeless, been really depressed, would have been due next Saturday, right before Mother's Day.

 

[Buttrflyl553]

I hardly drank anything during the day and held my pee so not sure. I don't know how to judge these anymore because they are so all over the place. Guess if it is light again tomorrow morning I will count today as positive. Any suggestions for OPKs ? Want to stop being so frustrated over it.

So very sorry about your confusing cycles it really isn't fair. I hope you get back on track soon.

 

[Buttrflyl553]

Oh and also sorry about your due date. Mother's Day us hard enough in general. My anniversary of mc is around Mother's Day also.

 

[flou]

callmeal. Sorry you are going through a tough time. Anniversaries are always difficult. Thinking of you.

Sorry buttrfly I've never used opks so can't help you there. Have you thought about trying temping?

 

[Buttrflyl553]

Flou can't temp because I get up so many times during the night. I have thought of getting digital OPKs but they are so expensive. If I didn't have such crazy cycles I wouldn't bother with these things. If I have the specialist appt I am gonna talk to them about it because I know a friend who goes to them and they recommended she not do OPKs because they aren't always accurate, especially for her.

Definitely positive today!! Seems like morning is best and afternoon doesn't work well with my body. I had a 16 day LP last time but it's possible I was off with the exact date of positive maybe. 14 days would out me at a 41 day cycle :/

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and is doing well!

 

[MrsDuck]

Callmeal and buttrfly I'm so sorry about your edd anniversary, those dates are so tough

Buttrfly sorry the clomid didn't do anything this cycle but I'm hoping you catch the eggy anyway that opk looks positive to me, maybe bd tonight and in 2 days again just o cover your bases

Flou I can't wait for you to test

Afm ruby arrived without warning, I went to bed and was then woken at 12.30am with griping pains and I had loose poo, 15 mins later it happened again and then again 6 minutes later, then the contractions continued to be 6 mins apart so we called the hospital who said to go in to get checked over, by the time we got there which his about 10 mins later I was taken straight to delivery and ruby arrived at 7.49am

I'm on the ipad at the moment, I'll post a pic of her later from the PC

 

[ItsAWonder]

Callme - sorry you are going through a tough time. Hope you find some solace.

Buttrfly - yeah positive!! Fingers crossed you caught that egg!

Mrs. Duck - what a great labor story; thank you for sharing. So happy for you and your family and hope you are feeling well.
