Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[alicatt]

Hey everyone..

So I had my 7DPO (21 day) progesterone level taken this morning, as well as a HCG. To see what was going on. Here are my results:

p4 - 31.4
HCG (beta) - 0.4

The nurse said that 31 was great, and that she is hopeful that I'll see a BFP perhaps on Saturday? Any thoughts as to why she felt that these numbers are good? I know that anything above 10-15 is considered good enough to show you ovulated, but what does it mean when its higher? Does that mean I had a good egg? Does that mean that I'm implanting and the levels are rising because of that?

My temps went up this morning, so I think that is a good sign too? Oh and the cramping is funky, my lower back hurts, I'm weepy, I started crying last night at the end of MasterChef! Seriously emotional the past few days, and the nausea continues.

Jess - how are you doing/feeling today?

Coy - are you around? Stop stressing yourself out

GNCope, Kelly, Angel, FirstTry, and everyone else.. Hello and I hope you are all doing well!

I think my is getting worse. I just want to lie down and curl into fetal position! But alas, I can't. My uncle is heading over and he needs me to take him into the next town to pick up his car, then he said something about going to the theatre toinght? Not sure what kind of theatre is in Bala, but, hey, I guess I'll find out tonight! Oh, and somewhere in there I need to get some work done!

Hey Ali, great news, I hope it keeps coming! Your tests and chart are both looking really really positive, I really hope this cycle gets you your rainbow baby . I'm really looking forward to the weekend and getting your update now xo

Ali, I know it works for some so try some ginger ale, ginger biscuits or something similar as it may help xo

I hope so too Ali, it would explain my foul emotional moods, I'm crying at everything and just feel a bit weird. I don't feel hopeful but then again I'm so tired I'm getting to the stage I don't know what to think

If AF arrives over the next week I think I really need a long holiday in the sun somewhere lol .

OMG.. you are emotional too? I have been crying on and off the past 2 days, and I have no idea why? Something touching on TV, then when I was driving home this morning thinking about the potential that I am pregnant, well that made me cry too! I'm a mess, and exhausted. Would like nothing better than to go take a nap for like 3 days!!

 

[AngelSerenity]

Thanks Jess, nearly crying at the thoughts of having to test lol - psycho woman ahoy!

How are you today Jess, did you remember to take your temp? x

 

[AngelSerenity]

Exactly how I feel Ali! It's only 20.15GMT here in the UK and I feel like going to bed NOW

It is only 3:25 in the afternoon here and I could literally pass out on the couch that is only 2 feet away!! Are these symptoms or am I just going crazy?

 

[alicatt]

I'm hoping you both have some great news after the weekend!!!

Jess.. whats up with you today? Did you remember to temp? Looks like Coy mentioned that low temps are super normal, so that is great! I'm so new at this I never know what is right, hehe.

Yep! I temped! I will start OPK tests this weekend...

Today's temp was 96.63...this weekend will be a challenge though because we are going out of town for my best friend's birthday...Leaving Friday at noon and gone until Sunday evening...I think I will be up too late to temp (well, at least on Saturday night Iwill be).

Today I have been completely bored at work. So, I am occupying my time with Words With Friends...such an addictive app!! Does anyone else play?

Tiredness and feeling crappy are the most common early symptoms I think Ali so fingers crossed . Nausea is a great symptom, I have such a good feeling for you, I'll ask my angels tonight xo

Sounds like a busy weekend! It is difficult to remember, that is for sure. My family will be here starting tomorrow, so I'll be in the same boat.

I do play some apps on my iPhone, but not that one although I do have it on my phone. I was addicted to Zynga's Texas Hold'em but I have managed to break the habit by being here at the cottage. I've been too busy!

HAHA! I am sure I will get back to playing poker again when I return to FL, but my internet isn't strong enough for me to play here, well and I'm more interested in doing other things. Has anyone actually played angry birds? I have never played and do not understand it at all.

 

[alin3boys]

yes love angry birds as well as does my 4 yr old
