pushing it here. anyone else over 45?

[dachsundmom]

Sarah- I wish you the best of luck! This is very exciting! You must keep us posted.

 

[Angelicdragon]

Sarah you are definitely in the right place
I have seen a thread under medhelp with women your age and still having babies so it is indeed possible. You are still considered fertile until you have gone 12 months without AF.
The stories in the Bible give me hope too hence out last two sons being called Samuel (called by God) and Daniel ( we prayed for him just as in the Bible Daniel was known for his prayers).
I was saddened to read of your losses. It is indeed heartbreaking losing a child and I can't imagine the pain and grief you must have felt losing a new born babe.
Is WA as in Western Australia? I am the other side of the continent and a bit further south lol, Hobart, well just outside of Hobart and up in the mountains behind Mt Wellington. Snowing again today and I don't have a car if I get called to pick up Samuel from school.... it's in being fixed ready for our foray over on the ferry to Melbourne on Saturday til Tuesday.

Despie how are you feeling hun? You have been in my thoughts every day. Someone said you were in Northern Ireland? I have friends over there in Comber, Newtownards. Met them on a bus tour of France in 1989 and they are a delightful family. The kids have all grown up now of course but we still keep in contact

Has anyone here also tried Maca? or is it macca... it's also rumoured to be helpful for women our ages TTC.

Sarah you mentioned hot flushes. I get them but only at night and end up waking up drenched. I even got them while I was pg although not so bad. Yet my FSH has been consistently in the 5-6 range. AF is still regular and my other hormone levels tested ok too so I am not considered menopausal yet.

Must go separate these boys. my 2 yr old grandson and my DD are here for a few days and Alex and Daniel keep fighting over wanting the same toys.

 

[Macwooly]

Thank you {{Angelic}} To clarify I was fortunate to carry all but one of my pregnancies to term (including LLB Late Life Blessing now 8) I did lose a baby between 2nd and 3rd pregnancies--although I hadn't mentioned (?) APAS antiphospholipid antibodies make your blood thick and sticky, hard to implant apparently, and prone to miscarriage they say... I don't believe everything I read though and my fourth is living proof!

After a sleepless night I did test negative this am (is 8-9 dpo too soon...?) Then after reading on 2ww thread this am became curious so checked and cervix="high" (hard to reach?) and "soft" (mushy?) so not sure what's going on my appetite sure hasn't let up... (need more food smilies!!!!)

Anyway WA=Washington state in US sorry! Forget what an international set we have here God's richest blessings

 

[Macwooly]

I would say 8-9dpo is too early to trust that your BFN is a BFN Praying you get your BFP in the next few days

well done coping in the 2WW section I find more than 30 seconds in that section and I go a little

 

[dachsundmom]

I totally agree with Wooly!

[Indigo77]

I will be thinking of you tomorrow, Despie!

 

[laughingsarah]

Still eating constantly, peeing frequently, feeling warm/flushed... ETA: CM now become thick white pasty, is this AF on her way, I know it's nuts to not know at my age but geez my cycle's been so sporadic and whacky there's no rhythm or method to this madness I'm tellin you.

 

[Angelicdragon]

I'll be thinking of you Despie. I hope all goes as smooth as possible for you hun.

Sarah I can't help with your question. The only CM I could liken it to would be the thick creamy I get if I am pg and then there is lots. Hopefully being unusual it is a good sign for you. LOL about WA and WA lol.... Washington is a fair way away from WA Aus and Tasmania lol.

Hi Wooly, Indigo, dachsundmon and everyone else.
Nothing much happening here, still no change in the OPKs. Still got low temps. No idea.

HUgs and baby dust to all
Judy

 

[laughingsarah]

Thanks Angelic... as you see I ETA change in CM to just thick white pasty but not alot so who knows... I sure can't wait on AF tho since she only shows a few times/year... we never *were* close lol.

Praying for all of you...

 

[laughingsarah]

Ok... now we have a brand new mole just beneath nipple... it was def *NOT* there 24 hours ago b/c "the girls" have been so sore and I've examined them frequently during the past several days... wtheck??? Hormone-related? Totally unrelated? Has anyone heard of this in pregnancy, I swear I'm losing my mind...

 

[laughingsarah]

Update: Beneath the sudden 'mole' I discovered a painful and sizable (marble-sized) lump... another sleepless night. Not sure why I have soreness on both sides tho, needless to say this is hardly what I expected or hoped for... Am headed to doctor (and most surely on to a mammogram) this am. Along with the increased risk of infections, the immunosuppressants I've been on for the past four years predispose you to far more serious things..... So please anyone who prays, your prayers mean so much to me right now...

My name isn't really Sarah but God will know who you mean I'm not really laughing right now either... but if it turns out I'm not pg, I know God has in His infinite wisdom spared me something too great... I trust that He knows what each of us can bear, and I will keep all of you in my prayers. So please just trust that He has heard all of our prayers and is working everything together for good in all of your lives too!!

Will post when I learn results or have something further to report... meanwhile thanks to all of you for your prayers and support!

Hi all,

new to the board, and found it just by chance!! I am very happy as my sanity is waning :S.

I am 44, mom to 15 yo and 12 yo from a previous marriage. Remarried at 41, pregnancy and miscarriage at 41. We are now going through 'secondary infertility'. Having been TTC for 3 years, with no luck - and honestly I have no idea but given period history may have had other m/c's as well. Known Fibroids..just saw a repro specialist with hubby 2 weeks ago - dh is still in shock [if I can say that] at the prospect of proposed donor egges [against our religion]....

to say I am utterly frustrated is putting it mildly...my ignorance was...I have had kids before, why can't I have them now? [af is still relatively regular - until this month, when things have begun to go wonky ...spotting and show one week before af is due..stopped after a day, returned two days later doing the same thing but this time with cramps...stopped after a few hours...and then nothing...have been relatively nauseous...did a home pg test - negative....

doctor wants to begin a formal investigation with semen analysis, and the ultrasound of the tubes/uterus with saline at day 6 of cycle...ironically I don't know when my cycle is this month...and I am supposed to do blood work as well..

utterly frustrated .....has anyone else had similar issues?

 

[laughingsarah]

Update: After mammogram today, out of the woods re breast scare THANK GOD!!! Guess new little mole on breast also nothing to be concerned about.... *phew* just me being an old worry wart!

Got some cheapo tests so can begin testing again tomorrow... wore the little radiation "apron" today during the imaging just in case... it made a lovely fashion statement with beautiful "cape" style hospital gown lol...

Thanks so much for the prayers, and I hope you are all feeling encouraged... btw I have always drank raspberry leaf tea throughout conception/pregnancy/breastfeeding for all four babies, it is an excellent uterine tonic
