Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

Angel!

Yay for checking in! Happy to hear your pregnancy is still going strong! YAY!
I'm sorry to hear of your marital issues, but I'm glad your DH is getting the help he needs.

I'm starting my FET on Monday!! YAY!

to you!

Yeah!! So excited for you Ali! I can't wait! What's next for you? When do the do the actual transfer?

Thanks BabyWhisperer!!!

I'm really not sure how the actual FET goes. I have my baseline on Monday, and I start estrogen priming (vivelle patches) and acupuncture as well as some supplements to make my uterus nice and inviting. Then we do the transfer. I would think it will be in about 3 weeks If you think about it, a normal ovulation happens around day 14, then a day 5 embryo should be put back on 5dpo, so that would be around day cd 19-21.

So I'm thinking May 17-22? Somewhere in there! Then since I'm already 5dpo I only have to wait 5-7 days to POAS !!! I am hoping to get the good news before the big Memorial Day party I'm going to on the Sunday. Oh and Vladimir is hoping to be here at the end of May so maybe I'll invite him and he can meet some of my friends!

BW.. when is your next appt? How are you feeling?

That's a lot to look fwd to!!! End of May beginning of Summer and the beginning of your bfp!

My next appt is May 8 to hear heartbeat. If all goes well I move on to an ob.
I'm feeling fine, just some fatigue, stuffy nose, swollen tender and veiny boobs and now my hair is falling out more than the normal shedding. It has me concerned. Some say you can lose more in the first trimester then you barely lose any until after you give birth. Some say its a vitamin and mineral deficiency or thyroid. I'm going to request a vitamin and thyroid panel. I just don't know if I should wait until the next appt or go this week.

I'm taking it easy today since we walked around Central Park yesterday for over 2 hrs and I was very tired afterwards.

How are you? Migraines? And I'm starting to get nervous. Where is Coy????

 

[alicatt]

I had an allergy attack last night, and still
have a headache I need to get out and run some errands..

I think the hair loss is normal, I have had it repeatedly after each cycle. I'm not sure what we can do to keep it? I'd go in for the bloodwork this week so you'll have the results when you go in for your appt! Plus I'm sick if the hair loss! I would like to know how to stop it as well!!

May 17-22 is just around the corner. Baby dust!!!

I posted this morning but I'm still new so I probably screwd up somewhere. I'll repost now.

Good Morning Ladies! Today I am 10 dpo CD25. My bbt took a severe dip on CD21 (possible implantation dip). That kept me hopeful that this could be "the month"! My only really symptoms have been cramps and frequent urination. However, I have slightly sore bb's today. Today is my poas day and...I got a very faint second line at 1am and a lighter one just now (super diluted urine). Both were frer. I am really excited, but I still think it's early (3w3d) I'm going to make a Ob appt this week to confirm. Keep ya posted!

When you are making a post, scroll down below the box where you can type, and there is a section called Additional Options. Click on the Manage Attachments, and then use the new window that pops up to find the image on your computer. Then scroll all the way to the right to click 'Upload Photo'
Then you can close out of that window. It should sow under the 'Manage Attachments' that there is now a file attached. When you post it will be attached to your post.

Can't wait to see it!

Alicatt-I am having a difficult time finding additional options. I think it's because I using an iPhone. I have a laptop and an IPad, but they are only for work with crazy firewalls and limited accessibility to websites. I will find a way to get to you ladies . I just poas and the positive line is still so faint, is that normal?

Baby dust!

I've loaded a picture using my iPhone before, but I think you have to make sure you are using the full site version.

Oh well, if you can't post, we'll just imagine!! I just hope that the line gets darker for you!!!

In 8 hours my period will be officially late. I am taking a test in the morning. I think i am pregnant but since ive never been pregnant ill be shocked to see a positive test. I will update tomorrow. My plan is if im still getting negatives and my period doesnt show up tomorrow im gonna call the fertility clinic and request a blood test to confirm or deny

JandK.. sounds like a great plan! What kind of tests are you using? Some are meant to be used earlier than others. Some won't detect HCG until it hits at least 50 miu in urine, which can take up to 7-10 days past implantation. If you can, go buy some First Response Early Result or Clear Blue Easy early tests.

I have my fingers and toes crossed for you

 

[alicatt]

AFM.. I'm getting ready for my FET! I have my appt tomorrow at 11:30. I contacted my acupuncturist and am hoping to line up some sessions. I also went to my local vitamin shop and picked up some peppermint and lavender essential oils, some raspberry leaf tea, and more royal jelly. So I'm all set to start and give my uterus every chance to be perfect!!

I have clear blue easy tests. I used cheaper ones fri and sat. Went and bought clear blue easy sat night. I have been using several different supplements. It has helped regulate me.

Sounds good! Just make sure they are the ones that say you can test early. If they don't say that then you need to wait until you are late to test.

JandK-Fx'd for you!!!

 

[Slamdunc]

Alicatt- Thank you for the pic uploading instruction. I fthink i finally figured it out and I hope the upload attaches okay. I took this photo at 90 seconds into testing. I plan to test again tomorrow morning with a frer and fmu, in hopes that the line darkens. Btw, I tested roughly 3x today and they all are extremely faint pink lines similar to this one, but I think they are considered bfn Can you see the line?
Thank you again. You're the BEST

BABY DUST!!!!!!

 

[Matin]

oooh, I do see that 2nd line Slamdunc!! Congrats! *stickydust*

JandK Everything crossed over here, hoping yours will be BFP too!

 

[AngelSerenity]

Everything crossed for you JandK and Slamdunc!

Slamdunc, I see the lines, are you now going to get a HCG level done?

Ali... I'm getting excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The time has flown in really. How long are you to take the raspberry leaf for? I'm curious as it's a tea that is a total no no when you are pregnant as it can trigger uterine cramps, especially bad in the early days and heightens MC risks.


Hi Chantal, BW, Coy, Phil and everybody else

 

[JandK]

I got a faint positive. I called Karen in to verify and she saw it too. Calling the fertility clinic as soon as they open. Im still in shock. Never been pregnant. BFP!!!!!

 

[AngelSerenity]

Whoopie JandK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
