Hi All

I am 41 and wanting to conceive my 2nd child (well technically 4th, but I miscarried twin boys at five months). At first I was gun-ho about NOT having anymore kids because of the thought of being "too old" But me and my husband have been actually talking about at least trying for one more. I had a visit with my doctor for my annual physical and I discussed it with him. The only thing he's concerned about is that I have a history of high blood pressure and with my age, it may not be such a good idea. Ultimately he said it's my choice but he's just wanted me to think about it. I LOVE my doctor and I know he's only looking out for my best interest. He stated he would set me up with a fetal maternal specialist who would tell me "straight up" if it's a bad idea. Has anyone else have or had any similar medical issues that would hinder you from conceiving? I'm kinda bummed.....

I have heard of people with high bp going through and having normal pregnancies. Surely you may be able to take something?

Anway, just to let you know that i got my bfp a few days ago. Have been so scared to post because of my last m/c. Lets hope its a sticky bean. xx

Mumoffive that is AWESOME!! I've been reading some of your posts since you started this thread and I was wondering about you! Congrats lady!!!!

Thanks, yeah the doc said they have several different meds I could take, but I guess the whole thing is making me nervous! I HATE taking meds, but if that's what I have to do, then bring it on! Hey, have you been taking any prenates or vitamins to get your body ready? My doc said I could take Centrum for Woman because it contains the right amount of folic acid recommended.

Again, FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED FOR YOU CHICKIE!!!

Awe, mumoffive - that's such brilliant news. Congratulations and here's to 9 healthy happy and exciting months for you. I am delighted to read your news even at this late hour!

Well, I don't have much news, CD3 and finally my FertilCM has arrived, so have taken the 1st tablet - let's hope it makes a difference, though I would have preferred to start it at the beginning of the cycle! I only get around 10-12 days before O hits so not much time for it to take effect!

YAAAAAY mumoffive! soon to be mumofsix. Fantastic news! Congrats and healthy, happy 9 months to you.

Nise: about FertilCM, sorry if it's all been explained here already.

AFM - acne spreading like wildfire, face, chest, bottom. sooooo attractive - this is very new (well haven't had spots like this for many moons) so me thinks it's all about the prog. cream. I'm off to make curried cabbage soup. DH hates it and he's away for a few days. I love it so might as well make it and be stinky too

Hey Ladies, hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend. I've been working my butt off doing split days so I've been starting at midday and ending at midnight - so I'm entering my most fertile week feeling shattered. Ah, well - I'm sure I'll summon up some energy from somewhere - needs must and all that.

So I altered my new soy taking habit and started it this cycle on CD1 - don't know if it will make any difference I'm only on CD6 see if this can get me past CD10 for O.
