Glad you're ok, Sarah....I had a scare a year ago...it was just a cyst that went away on its own....a bit scary, though....

 

[Mellybelle]

I had a lump that turned out to be just a cyst too. The boobie Dr drained it with a syringe.

Sarah, didn't realize you were from WA, I am as well, What part if you dont mind me asking!??

Oh hi... homie lol from Vancouver, whereabouts are you?

I'm originally from Portland Oregon!! We hoping to settle in Vancouver in a few years...

Hi Sarah, I seem to notice an increase in brown freckles/moles when I am pg. Glad to hear your scare was just that, a scare and nothing else.

 

[laughingsarah]

Thanks so much everyone... (((group hug)))

I was planning to test this am... but after no sleep the night before (due to the scare) I was so tired and groggy when I woke up... and w/out even thinking peed straight into the toilet, lolol!

Have been trying to accept that all of this breast pain is likely due to just perimenopause (I guess, despite low FSH levels...?) and not pg... would be relieved, and disappointed, all at the same time. Since this week has been such an emotional rollercoaster I probably need to just take my mind off this and maybe wait a week to test again. Not feeling especially pg at the moment... just tired and exhausted.

Sarah i am so glad to hear that all is well with you, i am still praying that your BFP is on its way!!! Sending lots of prayers up that when you test you see those two beautiful lines!!

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?

Welcome, I just had Blood work, Saline ultrasound, FSh Test done and get results on the 27th. I been sick lately so my posts might be wonky. I got strep throat. Husband had to do a semen test too.

FWIW For what it's worth... when I conceived Naomi at 43 it was only after my then husband stopped wearing briefs and began wearing boxer shorts. No *really* the briefs hold "the boys" too close against the body and heat is bad for the

Sorry... maybe TMI but it worked so I just thought I'd pass that along!

It had something to do with improving either the count, or motility, of

[amommy]

Yes that is quite amazing!! I thought maybe I was one of the only one from the states, as I see a lot here from the UK and AU! This is really a wonderful website, so many caring and supportive people!

I completely agree Garnet too! Hubby wears this quasi boxer/brief from Egypt, and I just said a few weeks ago, that maybe he should consider boxers....

Rashaa I have had the odd cycle like you explained with weird spotting and cramps. I think it is just age related and you can have normal cycles for ages then a wonky one then back to normal.
