Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[marathongirl]

R U on cd8 or 9 now? How long are your cycles? I am trying to determine when you o...is that what you were referring when you mentioned next week? Would be awesome if you could try something new like the prgesterone this cycle and get a sticky bean! I know your bfp is just around the corner. You mentioned several chemicals, that's why I wondered if it was the prgesterone Fx'd!!

I'm cd8 today. Will start opk either cd11 or 12. I really want to wait until 12 so I don't waste too many but I I'm sure I will start cd11. I wouldn't want to miss the surge.Although my plan is for us to bd every second day starting today so I don't know how I could possibly miss it I always get a bit stressed wondering if we are going to be able to bd enough. I don't know why because we always have but you never know rightI will most likely o cd14 or 15. Not too long

This time around we dtd on the day before O and the day after...not sure if it is from one earlier in the week but likely one of the closer timings. I can't wait for you! Then that crazy tww!!

Who knowsI know my last BFP before mc we dtd for 4 days straight and the last day was the day before o. I had to go away and was leaving the day I o'd I just definitely find this time the most stressful. For sure more so than the tww

It can be really stressful because there are so many variables to deal with...namely getting dh where you want him and when!

Welcome Babymama72 I am 42 TTC # 3. This will be the first with dh. I thought at first that I would really like a girl as dh has 2 boys but it has been harder than I thought just to get a sticky bean. I also mc at 12 weeks in Nov. It is all about the timing for choosing sex. Grey eyes is right you have to stop bd'ing 3-4 days before o and hope that you have enough sperm in there to meet the eggy good luck

I am still feeling awesome Here I am on my second day of progesterone and no side effects...I am worried about no side effects but I know if I had side effects I'd be worried LOL! Crazy me! I have still been taking my bbt but wondering now if I should stop? Because I go skittles over every little fluctuation and worry about it. How are you feeling today?

I'm glad you're feeling awesome ! I wouldn't do the bbt thing any more as it will make you bonkers and it is normal for your temp to fluctuate I was still doing bbt every second day up until the mc and it didn't tell me anything my bby was still high even though the baby had died. Save yourself some grief and try to relax and be happy you are preggo

I am 42 and have been trying for 9 months with 3 chemical pregnancies and a MMC at 12 weeks. It seems we can get pregnant but it won't stick. I am taking some herbs now and also doing acupuncture.

Yes you are right! I will start either tomorrow or cd 12 I never get a pos until at least cd12 so..... It's so hard because you start thinking oh what I'd I miss it so I will probably start tomorrow have been bd'ing every second day so we will see. How are you today

I'm feeling good...no ms at all, and this progesterone doesn't seem to be giving me any side effects either I am getting tired though. I seem to be yawning all day long! Even with getting 10 ours of sleep last night. I usually only sleep 6-7 so I got lucky Tonight will be my 4th day on progesterone. It is giving me greater hope though, as I am thinking even if my levels were okay it can't hurt. And I am thinking that they must have been low.
