Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

Hmm...reason I thought implantation is because it's not supposed to show until about your AF time or a few days before- you mentioned it was early which is why I thought possibly implantation Is it bright red or darker? (sorry if tmi).

I am feeling good today, can't wait to test but don't know if my dinky little town sells any FRER's...I have some cheapi internet strips, but not sure the miU on them.

Let me know how things progress!

Marathongirl-

If you have had several chemicals have you talked to your doc about it? From what I've read it's implantation troubles, but there could be more to it Now I wonder how many I have had and just never knew! They are extremly common from what I've heard. All this trouble we go through to get preggo makes a woman wonder how the human species has survived!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Does anyone know what our daytime average temp should be? Mine is usually 98.2-4 or so but today it is elevated to 99.5 --I feel fine, don't feel feverish or anything

Yes I have talked with my doctor about it and the truth is i don't agree with his attitude. First of all he tells me I am older so my eggs aren't good,then he tells me I am trying too hard sorry that isn't even part of my vocabulary? One day after one of my chemicals( they were all confirmed with blood tests) hebsaid that maybe I should take a break and concentrate on something else. Lol whatever is what I said. Then he had the nerve to ask me why I really felt the need to have another child. Can you imagine. I know I am ranting now but....

On a positive note, I stopped by a TCM doctor today because I have done acupuncture in the past and was interested in herbs. I told her that I have had 3 chemical pregnancies and a mc at 12 weeks in the last 9 months. She right away said that just by looking at my lips that I have a cold uterus and that's why the beans don't stick. All of my heat is in my head and that's why I always feel like I have a dry mouth as well. Also I am always cold and she said that is a deficiency in the kidneys and all of these things can be fixed with herbs. So that gives mr hope for the next cycle

Well, back down to normal now...flash fever I am micro-analyzing myslef too much

I am beat tired today, Ladies, but just wanted to say that when the bean sticks it'll be the right baby for you. Hard to wait for it to happen though. I was so disappointed when AF came last cycle. Keep your chin up! There's a baby waiting to love you!
Also, regarding temping... I know that ambient temperature can effect results too! I disregarded a temp the other day, because when I woke up all my covers were off and I was freezing and my BBT reflected it by being way down. I wear the same jammies to bed every night and try to keep everything as much the same as possible. We are mostly looking for trends, right? the next day my temp was up high again same as before. there can be so many reasons for a change in result. If you are sick it can change- all sorts of reasons.
Sometimes it doesn't seem fair that men get millions of chances to conceive and we only get about 12 per year.

Grey eyes- I am so into the alternative stuff and I know it really works. Thanks for sharing your stories about it as well and one day I will share mine when I have my beautiful baby in my arms. Thanks for being so supportive it helps so much.
She said I have a cold uterus and that I need to warm it before a baby will be able to grow in there. I find it quite fascinating how everything is so connected. Please keep me posted I guess you will test in less than a week!!!

 

[marathongirl]

Philomena- thanks so much. I know it will happen for all of us when the time is right. Of course we always think the time is right and sometimes there is a higher power working and deciding. I am so glad day 1 is over and now I can look ahead. I still have my Fx'd for you!

Tell me again what TCM stands for? I hope your appointment can give you some really drect answers and great info!!

Temps this morning were a steady 98.2 .... wondering how soon I can use my frer.......my AF would typically show up by 8th or 9th....

 

[marathongirl]

Grey eyes- TCM stands for Traditional Chinese Medecine. I have done some research on the meridians and the herbs that they use for treatment. As far as your temps go they look good and steady. Mine are never that steady even when I had my BFP.
I would test when you feel like you know. I think we all "know" if we could be preggo. I would say you could for sure 10 dpo. I usually try to wait until 12dpo or so?? What do you think? Are you feeling anything?
I also meant to ask you if your cycle is the same since your mc? Mine definitely is starting to get more normal but this last cycle only a lp of 11 days which is shorter than normal. I'm happy there was no spotting before my cycle started. Last cycle I had spotting before and after af???

Grey eyes-when you say things seem easier after mc what do you mean? Were you trying long before you had your last BFP? I know I have a lot of questions,sorry. We do seem quite similar. I also usually have a 28 day cycle but this last one was only 26. I know I need to work on the relaxing bit. I usually find it pretty easy after o knowing that I have done what I can and it's just about waiting after that. But it seems as time creeps on and I get closer to af I feel stressed about things and start thinking what of it's not this month? I have my Fx'd for you this month. I have a good feeling about it!!

I use the first response always they seem to be about the same price. I like the pink dye and I like the 2 lines as opposed to a cross?? I don't know why? I'm glad you have a good feeling I think that is a good sign. As Philomena said, when we finally get our BFP's it will be the right baby for us. I also know that it will be so loved because we've waited for so long
