TTC 1st child 35+ (Please spoiler any PG news/announcements).

[missyt]

Tigerlily, I feel the same as HA about the tests. For me, even if I dreaded the result, I had a peace of mind that we would have an answer and we could begin to fix it. Like HA said, its bloowork, ultrasounds and HSG. I didn't have a problem with the HSG either though some women found it painful. It was just a little uncomfortable but bearable for me. I think I worked my elf up for it to be worse than it was. For us, our results came back normal so we are diagnosed as unexplained. DH's numbers are a little low but not enough to classify us as male factor. I would go ahead with the testing. It isn't bad at all and hopefully you will get some peace of mind too. Most of us have gone through it so you have support here.

 

[Macwooly]

Tigerlily good luck with the tests

I am so cross with myself as I didn't get all the tests available back in 2009 when TTC and I'm not sure if the GP will make us wait the obligatory 6 months before starting the testing again. I might phone tomorrow to make an appointment as see if they will start early especially as we know DH's SA was less than desirable in 2009

Missyt - I think Pugs are just tiny packages of personality and attitude And my dogs & cats see the vet more often than I see my GP. One of them has some real issues with her joints and arthritis and she's not yet 4 years old and it breaks my heart But they are the best and know how to stop my tears with a tongue in my ear or nose or a toy shoved into my face

Never- I'm so sorry about your pelvic infection! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

OMM- sending big hugs your way! You are in my thoughts!

Futuremommie- I am so sorry about the bfn. Sending hugs and prayers your way! Enjoy San Fran. Happy Auntie's advice about the garden sound lovely.

MJ- Sending lot's of hugs your way! You are in my thoughts!!

HappyAuntie- You always know just what to say to make us all feel better! When you start your treatment...wishing you the best follies!!! Husbands! I know exactly what you are talking about. My dh can be really insensitive sometimes. For example, We were going out with another couple and I did my make-up, hair was in rollers, cute outfit...we go outside to wait for them and he starts examining my hair....he says...are those gray hairs I see?! He was laughing, he thought it was soooo funny... I was really hurt. He is losing his hair at a very rapid pace and I didn't bring that up!

Missy- I know how hard it is to buy baby items for others, when all we want is to be able to buy it for our own baby's that we want so much! I'm glad that your Mom was with you!

Lava- So glad to hear that your numbers are just going up & up! I'm so excited for you!

Butterfly- Sending you lot's of positive thoughts for your ov.

Twinkle- what you said about men asking an adult before they speak- was so funny! And the compliment from another man...that's always nice! Your new name should be Twinkle aka 'Foxy Lady'.

Dwrgi- Woo Hoo....so excited for you to start IVF.

Macwooly- So Sorry af showed! Hoping you get your bfp, in your new cycle!

Skye- Your back! Yay!! How was your holiday???

Ginger- Sending you lot's of love and
hugs!!!!

MommysAngel-

afm..I think I ov'd on CD17...dh and I dtd...every other day before that and then on that day. I used the preseed and the softcup and left it in all night. So will see. I refuse to symptom spot b/c I will drive myself crazy. Just trying to go with the flow and see what happens and if I get af..then I will just keep trying. We are planning to try ourselves for the summer and will seek treatment options at the end of August.

Hello & Welcome!!!! Tigerlily, Purplelou, Rayndvs!

Wishing you all a fantastic weekend!!!!

Love& Hugs to you all. and of course

 

[HappyAuntie]

AFM today I got a positive on the cheapie OPKs so that has cheered me up a bit and made me hope that I actually might ovulate! Only reason to think I might not is my age really. So will be having a bit more for the next 2 days to try and catch that bean.

:wave: to everyone else, will be back at home and catching up properly on Tuesday I think (unless anyone thinks I should keep BDing for longer?!?

Woohoo!! FYI, my RE told me that if I'm getting positive OPKs and my cycles are pretty regular, then I am ovulating... so I wouldn't worry about a follie not popping this month, given that you've got the positive OPK. Go for it!! And as for BD, I don't think you need to continue past Tuesday. Again, my RE's instructions (before we switched to IUI) was to BD on the day of the positive OPK, skip the next day, and BD again on the third day. (The skip day gives the spermies time to recharge - if you BD every day it can decrease the count.) Also, be sure your BF is clearing out the pipes (so to speak!) 3-5 days before you start BDing - that will help with the quality of his sperm by getting rid of the ones that have been hanging around too long.

DWRGI - The failed attempt was tough but I was sorta prepared. I actually felt all my symptoms fade Sat and I tested Mon. My IVF journey was a rollercoaster of good and bad news. My AMH is 1.2 on my first ultrasound I had 5 antral follicles. My doc was surprised to see that many. We started on FSH 200 / Menopur 75 once a day. The FSH increased a little at the end. On my first ultrasound after stims I had 2 follies on the right (perfect size 10's) 1 on the left (a bit smaller 8). We almost cancelled but we checked my estrogen level and it was awesome. So we went for it. The right side grew to perfect size quickly and the left stopped growing. When I went in for retrieval I had only the two follies. However we got 4 eggs!! 1 actually matured in the dish lol. 3 fertilized and made it to day 5. 1 great, 1 good, 1 poor embies. I then went on progesterone IM and suppositories. But still it didn't work. According to my test numbers it looked like one tried but...

I'm not a candidate for IVF due to such poor response but my doc is confident that now that I have had the right hormones jump started it is only a matter of time. So on to IUI!! I feel like I'm going backwards. lol Most start with IUI. As for the vitamins. DHEA at 75 has been found to preserve and sometimes increase egg quality and quantity. CO-Q 10 at 200 is also being looked at for women with low ovarian reserve. You can find lots of info on it online and ask your doc. Most are suggesting it. However they also say you should start it 3 mon in advance. But remember you are being stimulated so don't worry about not doing vit.

Good luck in Aug. It is harder to go through than I thought but I wouldn't take it back for nothing. Me and my hubby are way closer now.

Welcome, Rayndvs! I'm glad you found us. And thank you for your service to our country. Whereabouts in OK are you? My sister lives in Norman (though she's actually here visiting me right now!). I have never been so hot as I've been in Norman - I swear, the state of Oklahoma must be a mile from the sun!

Your IVF experience must have been so frustrating and disappointing. At least with moving "backwards" to IUI, you know the procedure will be a WHOLE lot easier this time around! So when do you start? I'm on follistim + IUI, too, as are a few others. I start stimming (for my 3rd IUI) on Tuesday. (And for my fellow whatevs, I am definitely falling off the wagon already! )

 

[purplelou]

As far as I'm concerned those two pugs are my children, even if other people think thats silly.

absolutely NOT silly!! mine are my babies too - we do spoil them but they repay us with loves and snuggles all the time xx

 

[Dwrgi]

Oh my...If I ever get knocked up...my Lola had better not start peeing inside...or, she'll be shipped of to my MIL's...JK...

I have a friend who swears that her dog knew she was pregnant before she did...Her dog started getting crazy protective of her, even barking and carrying on if the hubby got too close...something she NEVER did before...The dog sort of got in 'guard mode'...wouldn't leave her side, followed her around everywhere...and when she'd go to the bathroom without the dog and close the door, the dog would panic and bark incessantly until she came out of the bathroom...

My huskeys follow me everywhere. They howl if I shut the bathroom door against them, and sit watching me have a shower. They also like licking the water off but that is quite revolting. Gwydion, the boy, even started pawing at my OH when OH lay on the bed next to me, where Gwyd normally sits. OH dutifully moved, until I realised we had to show Gwydion that OH was alpha and not him! He was not happy (OH or Gwyds!!!).

But, they are my babies, and complete surrogates cos they get all my love and attention and have filled such a huge gap in my life....

I guess we can all identify with that one!

Hope you've all had a good weekend; I haven't had a chance to catch up as I've been marking all day and can delightfully announce that I only have 20 left-wehey!!!!!! I am zonked, I have to say.... but will catch up properly tomorrow.

Have a good week, all my love,
A

[Dwrgi]

Hello lovely ladies, I hope you're all having a good weekend.

Thank you again for the warm welcome.

This weekend marked our first six months of TTC #1. If I'm honest though, the journey started 16 months ago. My husband suffers with delayed ejaculation. When we were doing our utmost NOT to fall pregnant, this was quite useful, but last year when we knew we'd want to start a family after the wedding we seeked medical advice. After a year of GP and hospital appointments we were told surgery would resolve the issue, only for the surgeon to tell us on the day of the surgery that no, it was not a surgical issue

We're back to square one, but the Drs now think it's psychological, but yet again we're on waiting lists and me and my eggs are not getting any younger. It's also making the TTC rather complicated. Whoever said to 'relax and go with the flow' needs a slap in the face with a wet kipper!

So, along with husband seeking medical help, I have to face-up to the fact that I need too, as well. Any advice as to what I should expect would be greatly appreciated. I know tests are never pleasant, but I'm so scared about results. Results always lead to decisions and that's when you need courage.

Also, has anyone tried acupuncture? I went for a massage yesterday for stress relief.. only to end-up with a male masseuse! So much for de-stressing, I spent the whole time mentally praying that my towel wouldn't move!!

Take care everyone and to all!

C xx

Hi Tiger! Hope you're having a good weekend. I'm sorry to hear that they cancelled your husband's surgery on the morning itself. What a nightmare...

I don't know what I can say to you re. tests. Suppose the first thing is to make sure that you are ovulating, and when you ovulate. If the problem is to do with ejaculation, I wonder if IUI might help you.... I'm sorry, I really know nothing about this. They would put you on meds (I had to inject myself-seriously no big deal) and then scan you to check how your follicles are responding. Once they believe the follicles are the right size, you'll have a trigger shot to cause ovulation and then, wham bam, you will be inseminated with hubby's swimmers. Fingers crossed. Girls on here say it's no more uncomfortable than a smear test.

Have you had a lap and dye, to check that all tubes are clear, etc.?

But, I did want to say that I have acupuncture and find it really helps me relax. My first therapist interfered with my cycle and reduced my period from 3 days to 1, and now I have somebody else who is getting me back to normal! She is trying to encourage blood into my uterus. More than anything else, I find it really calming and, as I'm a secondary school teacher, I get very stressed so this is exactly what I need. I'd give it a go. Try and find one that specialises in fertility acupucnture-I think the Zita West website has links to recommended/affiliated therapists.

Anyway, good luck to you and I hope you get your very very soon!

to you!

Thanks HA, that has set my mind at ease Will head home on Tuesday then. Am certain BF has cleared out the pipes beforehand, in fact I had to tell him to keep his hands off the pipes for a couple of days before I turned up lol

thanks again!

All these furbaby stories are cracking me up. MA, how is Pee Diddy doing lately? Every time I go to the bathroom, one of my cats, Lucy, rushes to go with me. When I try to close the door, she sprints over & sneaks her way in. I don't know how many times, especially in the middle of the night when I'm practically sleep walking to the bathroom, that I've almost taken her poor kitty head off. I've been making so many more trips at night lately and she jumps off the bed, nearly cuts me off ... I am scared that I'm going to trip over her one of these days. Fortunately, she and Sasha are remembering their litter box manners!

My cat does the same...and right after I get off the toilet, he hops on and waits for me to flush....and he sits there watching the water flush down....then he takes a drink... Oh, but he is such a lover we changed his name from Zoe George (we mistakenly thought he was a girl) to Don Juan- Casanova - Fabio-George.....aka Fabio...

 

[missyt]

Macooley and purplelou, I'm so glad you know how I feel about my puggies. I love them to peices and I tell them all the time! One has allergies so I give him shots regulary. He is such a trooper. The other has a swallowing fetish (LOL). No matter now much I monitor him, he has swallowed things he shouldn't have about 3 times in his 4 years. One resulted in serious surgery but they both have pet insurance. When I first purchased the insurance for them, I felt so much better! Now I know that it will never be an issue of money to give them the best care they need. Its so worth the $70/month.

Luvvie, most importantly, have fun with the dtding! I'm praying for you this month. I think a lot of us are in the same boat for the summer. I'm glad that many of us have decided to ENJOY the summer and try to chill out and have some fun. That was the last thing my mom said to me when they left this moring, she said to enjoy my summer.

AFM, I have some good news about DH's ex moving situation. They are not moving to our town now. They are supposedly closing on a house but its far enough away from us for us to feel comfortable about it. I'm not sure if I mentioned stepson's lyme disease situation. If I get too much into it, it'll be a super long post. Its just another example of why I don't understand why certain people get to be mothers and wonderful ladies like us don't. DH's ex is convinced the whole family has lyme disease and seeks off the wall treaments for herself and her two kids (one is with DH). She has had stepson on antibiotics for 16 months and he is 11. I don't understand why she doesn't think this is harmful to him and also to her 6 yr old. She takes them to doctors that tell her what she wants to hear. Stepson (SS) came over with pills this weekend and he said he never even had to see the doctor to get them. His mom brought them home for him. I googled them and they are to fight sexually transmitted diseases (???). He has been complaining of stomach issues so I googled the side effects. Sure enough, that was a side effect. I told him he didn't have to take them this weekend if it hurts his stomach. I just don't understand. Last summer he was on antibiotics that made him sensitive to the sun and he got a really bad burn. This is what makes me so frustrated about being a stepmom. I can only do so much and I have little say. I'm so afraid that she is going to ruin his health permanantly.

Isn't it such a blessing to have such loving furbabies? My puggies follow me around everywhere too. Especially my little black one. I call him my velcro pug.

 

[lavalux]

Indigo,
Love Mr. Fabio ... he sounds like a real character!!!

Missyt,
I am so glad your DH's crazy ex isn't moving nearby. That sounded like a potentially nightmare situation!

Skye,
glad you are back safely from your trip and you enjoyed the rest of your vacation even though the trip back was tough.

Butterfly,
Hope you had a fun & productive BDing weekend. Sounds like fun. I haven't had any nookie since the night after our IUI. We actually tried last Saturday, but I started worrying we would hurt the baby, which I know is so stupid. I asked my nurse and she said it would be fine, but we could wait until after our scan this week if it would reassure us. I'm so tired and not feeling very sexy at all. I need some of Twinkle's foxy lady mojo!

Way to go, Dwrgi, on getting those papers nearly graded! I bet you will feel great when they are all finished and you can sit back and relax.

Purplelou, Never, Luvie, MA, HA, FA, Twinke, Tigerlily, Ginger, MacWooly, MJ, and all the ladies I'm too dense tonight to remember by name, lots of love! Have a good week!

 

[skye2010]

Hey Girl )

Lynn I just saw your loveley baby photos. It looks perfect )) With little arms and legs so cute )). Congratulations being discharged from EPU. What a relief

Sassy Twinkie thanx for supporting me with computers. And whistle whistle for being chatted up in Tesco's )) hahahahhahaaa.

Dwrgi Congrats for rolling the dice finally. I hope you would recieve the best possible stimms protocol. You only need 1 stubborn embie to snuggle up. will keep u in my prayers

Sorry I'm a bit late with response. Dunno if you solved the clumping blood mystery yet but that is actually your womb lining. It is a very good sign that you have it. It means your womb is shedding all the old lining and getting ready for the new one. On IVF protocol drs perform a hysterescopy before the stimms, check the lining and scrape it to prepare for the tx.


Chris Lovely photo of you and DH. You are a great gal with a great attitude. You give so much support for all of us in here. I wish you many sticky baby and hope you will have your lo in your arms one daydust

Baby4MJ I'm so sorry that you are feeling despair. Beleive me I have felt all those emotions in different stages. Please remember that despair and depression unfortunately a part of TTC when it prolongs. Don't give up cause these feelings come with a blow but they pass if you can sit it out and force yourself to move on. I hope you already started feeling a little better by the time I posted this. Have a good break hon

Ginger Hope you are having a good summer. Lurk away as u like A break is always good and energising!

Nevernever how are you? I wonder if it was the right diagnosis? Pls update when u find out xx

Missy, how's the chest injury? Ooouch my mum had that once and it hurt her a lot. I think that maternity top will bring you luck. Your husband's x sounds like a true nutcase. I think you are doing a great job at being a stepmum while dealing with a fruitcake. I now understand what you mean when you say "My hand's are tied at times" It really is difficult for you to go against the x's instructions cause she is the mum even though you know it is physically harmful for the poor boy.

Lava your mum's story is really encouraging And your numbers are wooow!!! Dunno if anyone mentioned it yet but I wonder how many heartbeats you'll be having.

FM hope you are enjoying your holidays

Ha, Good God! You've been busy lately. It's very good that you have so much going on right now. You will have a lot of distraction from worry but pls don't forget to take rests in between museum hoppings The meds and whole tx thing is exhausting. By the way when my DH annoys me with a silly comment like that I remind him his 5 month preggo belly going onto 6, C cup breasts and fast receding hair. He kind of shrivels out of the way ))) Also if you had a perfect FSH before it wouldn't dwindle to nothing in one year. Really don't worry about it.

BBive So true your neighbour's observation

MA woohooo You passed your milestone. Amelia will be plumping up from now on to be a sweet cuddly girl when she comes out. )) My doggies are still smelling each other's bums and snoring I don't think they know that I'm pregnant yet. I'm curiously waiting for a sign of recognition. I hope it wouldn't be peeing on my one and only already ruined Turkish carpet.

Butterfly good luck with bedding baby. Cover all those corners

Luvy good luck this month Hope this would be the month for you. If not does your insurance cover for tx?

Purplelou, Macwooly, Indigo welcome to the thread. I hope your stay would be short and sweet

Tigerlilly, I'm sorry to hear that your mum's passed away before seeing your wedding. I'm sure she will be watching over your shoulder when you have your little baby As for acupuncture, I tried it and didn't see any effect. Medically it doesn't have any proven effects but some girls swear by it. It can be ver good to destress which is very beneficial. But it's expensive as the it adds up. So personal choice if you can afford it I'd say.

Randy it is really encouraging that you should produce 3 blasto embies with those numbers. A friend of mine recently had a BFP in her first IUI attempt with low AMH and produced 1 big juicy egg. Unfortunately miscarried later on (I'm suspecting she has autoimmune issues) but nevertheless it's encouraging to know that it takes 1 good egg and 1 good sperm to make a baby.

AFM I couldn't have that cooking class in the end cause I got too hot and bothered in the kitchen. But managed to gobble down so much food that I'm an official chubster now. I'm now running off to the scan and will update when I'm back. xxx

Hello-re Lava's numbers, that's exactly what I was thinking! Way to go Lava-fingers crossed for you!!

Lots of love to everybody!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Butterfly67]

Thanks Lava, and yes I think I would be the same if I got a BFP, a bit wary of BDing for the first while so I am sure it is normal to feel like that. And interesting what Skye and Dwrgi are saying about the numbers - ooh, that would be fun fingers crossed and double to you!

 

[skye2010]

Dwrgi funny you thought the same thing Now we have the mystery of the week hahahaha!!

Just been to the clinic. Had blood tests and a scan. The baby looks like a bubble gum (Sac etc) Very happy I'm a little more confidant with this pregnancy now. I think I might go into a lurking state as well since there is so many new ladies joining and I don't want to offend anyone. But I'll be still supporting you girls and following what's going on in here.

By the way haven't heard from Carole yet have we? Carole I am really curious to know how did the ec go? When is your transfer?

I'm wishing everyone here a huge hugg and loads of

Hi so pleased your scan went well and has made you more confident in your pregnancy

As one of the new ladies to the thread I won't be offended to see you posting about your pregnancy I find it so inspirational and it really helps my PMA to read about other ladies BFPs & pregnancies

 

[lavalux]

You girls are cracking me up with the HCG numbers. I am just hoping for a viable pregnancy ... so although multiples would be harder to swing financially and probably cause my DH to pass out, I would be thrilled with whatever we got, a singleton or twins, as long as they are healthy. I just hope that we get good news on Thursday with our scan. It will probably be too early to see a heartbeat, but I guess they will be able to tell whether multiples are in our future. I was lurking on the graduates thread and just read when Austingirl found out she was having triplets. OMG! So crazy!

I really appreciate everyone's support on here and I hope it's still okay if I stay. I am wary of getting too excited for fear that this blessing will be taken away. I am trying to keep my PMA going, girls!

Good morning ladies!!! Ugh i am so sad its monday again, i really really really dont want to have to go to work, mostly because i start at 9am and by 9:05 i am done with my work, then i have to spend the whole rest of the day making it look like i am busy, so boring!!! Summer time is our slow season as most of the college kids are out of school. Welcome to the newbies!!!! Great to see you here and yes these ladies are so wonderful. For the ladies that are pg, i know for me, i love hearing all about your pg, it gives me hope that one day it could happen for me.

I love hearing about everybody's fur babies, they are the love of our lives, and i dont think its silly, Kirby my dog is my baby, i have had him since he was 5 weeks old and weighed 3lbs, now he just turned 6 and weighs 62lbs lol. There is nothing better than the unconditional love of an animal. Kirby is fantastic too, does not bark much, loves to snuggle and play with his toys, and is very well mannered, he really is the perfect dog, i just wish he was not so afraid of thunderstorms, poor thing goes to shaking every time it even rains, as he associates the rain with thunder and lightning.

AFM, i have to tell you ladies, your going to laugh, dh and i are planning on going camping, we set the tent up that we had to see if it would work for us in the backyard, well we ended up having us a little tent fun he he he, it was just too funny, dh said watch us get pg, then we could say we conceived the baby in a tent in the backyard lol. We have figured out we need to get a bigger tent, the one we have is just too small lol.

I hope everybody has a wonderful day!! And if anybody has some heat, please send it up to Chicago, dang but its been cold, highs only in the upper 50's and 60's at this rate we will never get in our pool!!! I want summer!!!!!
