Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[alicatt]

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!!!!!

We need a picture!!! YAY!!!!

 

[alicatt]

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!!!!!!

I see the line!!! Hoping and praying it gets darker!

 

[alicatt]

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

Right.. it's not meant to be used during pregnancy. Just during the first 2 weeks to help make the lining strong!

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!!

Awesome!! Great news! I didn't know peppermint was good for the uterus? In that case, I should be set based on how many Mojitas I consumed this past weekend! Hah!

HEHE no peppermint was suggested by my acupuncturist to help with the migraines. Apparently putting a dab on your temples helps. I got the lavender to put on my sheets at night as a calming agent. All it did last night was make my dogs hyper! They were jumping all over me sniffing and trying to figure out what that new smell was I did have a good nights sleep Just wasn't as long as I would have liked.

FX'd that you get a good BETA!!!

 

[never_give_up]

Congrats Jandk! Looking forward to hear your beta numbers

Congrats slamdunc! Nice to meet you!

Ali your turn is coming up soon! Exciting

Babywhisperer how are you feeling? What symptoms are you having this week?

Angel wonderful to hear that all is good with your pregnancy

Coy I haven't see any posts from you. Where are you?

Sorry I have been mia. Fibromyalgia has really been unkind to me both physically and mentally. Dh thinks I am depressed from the mc but I am sure it is the fibro. The weather finally warmed up over the weekend and so we drove up to Philly and I finally saw the liberty bell tour on Saturday and walked through Longwood gardens for 4 hours on Sunday. The fresh air did me good. Unfortunately I was glutened in Chinatown. Dh's friend is chinese so he was asking to make sure there was no gluten no wheat flour. I have to be so careful when I eat out.

Sorry to hear about the fibro a d the gluten. That sucks big time. I get sick from egg and even asking them to make sure to be careful, food prepared out is not like how we do it at home. I hope you're feeling better. As far as the mc give yourself time as your hormones had the E break pulled on them. My dh would be so jealous of your tour, he's such a history buff! You had great weather for it too.

Symptoms come and go. Crampy, fatigue, hair loss, swollen tender and veiny boobs. And this weekend my brain didn't work. I left he house with the TV remote in my hand. I went back to put it away and left the door to our house wide open all day. I've been a ditz and forgetful. Oh yeah and I forgot to put the dryer on for our sheets so we had to wait until late to make our bed. Duh.

 

[JandK]

I am uploading a picture. But its super faint and you may not be able to see it. Today is cd 29 14dpo. My period was due today.

 

[never_give_up]

I have done those things too Babywhisperer. Except leaving the house with tv remote in my hand! That is too funny! When do you get your first ultrasound? Or have you posted one already and I missed it? It is raining today so yes we were lucky to have a sunny weekend.

 

[JandK]

Had the scan to see the sac on Friday and all was as it should be. I have the next scan to hear heartbeat on May 8. I'm still super nervous as its early and my symptoms come and go. Like right now I feel zero, zip, nada. It freaks me out. My acupuncturist gave me 4 more hpt's bc she knows I'm a freak and still test every few days.

That is when I go in for my first lining check.. May 8th. FX'd that we both get good news!!!

I meant to tell you that I have done crazy things like walking out of the house with the remote. I actually put the phone in the fridge once . I was looking all over the place, and couldn't find it for the life of me. Finally gave up looking and went to get a drink and there it was, sitting on the shelf getting cool

In all seriousness, I think that your body is realigning your blood supply, and increasing the blood supply to support the bean. Plus I'm sure you have a lot on your mind, between the 2, it is pretty normal to be a little scatterbrained. I think they call it pregnancy brain!
