TTC #1 and over 30

[luna_19]

well let's hope you get lucky this month and don't have to do anything else

I'm sorry about your hubby's grandma

 

[bakingbabe]

Thanks, Luna. It's been a tough tough week in our house/family. Trying to figure out how to even try when we are still grieving and dealing with this blocked tube issue. Honestly, bd'ing has been the last thing on my mind this past week.

 

[Newbie32]

Im so sorry to hear that Baking xxx I hope you can manage to have a shot and work out what the best course of treatment will be for you to get that BFP.

Luna i hope you caught the egg this time hun x

Good luck testing Gypsy!

Hi to everyone else, I've caught up and now forgotten most of what i read....

AFM...i think i mentioned the witch caught me over the weekend. I actually had a very feint + test on an IC on Saturday before she arrived,so Im assuming that was a chemical. Its given me a little hope at least that maybe sperm can meet the egg...time will tell.

 

[luna_19]

newbie but yes that is good news! I think that's why I keep wanting to test early, just to see if it's even possible (so far no, no it isn't)

 

[Newbie32]

Thanks Luna, I think af was two days late....grrrr...ah well, maybe next time x

Baking I'm so sorry to hear about your DH's grandma. I hope she left some magic for you guys. I believe.
If you ever have any questions about clomid I would be happy to help. I just got a pic of a from a girl I know that's been trying for 2.5 years, she had a blocked right tube, they took the clomid route and this was their 4th month. Although a little scary, you know what your options are and what you can do now to make it happen.

Newbie That is actually a great sign! Here's to hoping this will be the month. They say you are more fertile after a bfp.

Luna GL on your progestrone check! I always looked forward to those.

Hi and welcome team S! The red mucus can be from ovulating and high progestrone. I'm probably not much help, but this is a great place for support!

Gypsy GL on Friday!

Hope everyone is doing well. We are packing up for our move next weekend, house is finally finished!

Baking- Im sure DH grandma will help you get this little miracle baby! Im positive my dad was watching over me and helped it happen for us! hugs hun that you get everything figured out

Good luck luna, TeamS and gypsy!!! FX!

Newbie- So sorry about your CP. I had this as well but it also gave us hope that it CAN and WILL happen! hugs hun.

I didn't test today. I chickened out and decided to wait because I am afraid of seeing another bfn. I have convinced myself this is just a long cycle. I am afraid to get my hopes up.

 

[Newbie32]

Thanks girls

Fx for you gypsy x

 

[bubbles82]

Gypsy - hope its not another long cycle for you, I know how frustrating they can be.

Newbie - sorry to hear about the CP, but glad you can see the positive side, at least the swimmers are catching the egg. Hope it's a sticky one for you next time, I hear it increases your chances after a CP for next time, hope that's true!

Baking - sorry about DH's grandma, grandmas are precious, I'm sure she's watching out for you guys now and will send some extra special babydust your way.

Hope everyone else is ok xx

 

[Newbie32]

Thanks bubbles, I really hope so!

How's things with you?

 

[bubbles82]

Nothing to report really, still waiting nervously for my scan on Monday, I'm CD35 with no sign of O so another long one by the looks of it!

 

[Newbie32]

Gosh bubbles it must be so frustrating for you, I really feel for you and gypsy having these long confusing cycles! Good luck with the scan on Monday, I hope it brings you some answers

 

[luna_19]

gypsy

good luck with your scan bubbles

7 dpo and really liking my chart this month, my temp has never been this high so early

 

[Newbie32]

Looking great Luna!!!! Fx!!!

 

[bubbles82]

Chart looks fab Luna, fingers crossed it's a good sign!

 

[Veganlily]

Good luck ladies! Not trying does not seem to be working for us any better than aggressive trying. Feeling a bit lost-not hopeless but not sure about what to do next...Luna I hope that this is it for you-this thread needs a bfp!

Lily -

Luna - your chart looks triphasic!!

AFM, got my blood test results this week over the phone and the Dr said all hormone levels look fine and that Im ovulating - however I asked him to send me a printout of the actual numbers and they don't look good It said my post-O progesterone was 13 nmol/L (these are UK numbers, different units to what is used in the US), and that "ovulation occurred but poor follicular development with luteal insufficiency in this cycle may have occurred". I'm quite annoyed because I think he should've told me this since it was clearly printed on the test results - if I hadn't insisted on seeing the actual numbers I would not have known!!

Also my CD3 test showed my estradiol was really high (not good because that means it's artificially making my FSH look low, or that I might have problems with ovulation etc). Again, why didn't the dr mention my high estradiol?! I'm not really sure what to do now

 

[luna_19]

goldfish. Are you seeing a specialist or just a regular doctor? I'm pretty sure regular doctors don't know a whole lot about interpreting results.

Lily how are you? Where are you in your cycle?

Yes I have a triphasic chart but I had a bfn this morning at 9 dpo, I know it's early but it's been 3 days of higher temps so you would think it would have shown something by now. Not to mention that there is absolutely nothing different this month and I don't have increased cm which I have come to the conclusion is a pretty universal sign.

At least at this rate I should be able to get the rest of my blood done before leaving for vacation next Monday.

 

[Goldfish]

Luna - it was a regular dr. I still can't believe he just said "you're ovulating" without telling me the negative details of what was on the printout that he would've been reading!! I'm actually seeing my laparoscopy surgeon in Dec (long-standing follow-up appt for my endometriosis), but he tends to be very dismissive of my concerns and is really cocky. I think if he still has that attitude next time I see him then I might see what I can do about getting referred to someone else...I just want to see someone who takes me seriously and will help me get pregnant!

9dpo might still be a bit early despite your temps going up - wait another 3-4 days and good luck!!
