Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[Grey Eyes]

Babydust- please use a frer (if you can get one) with strong fmu either tomorrow am or hold it for 4 hours and afternoon. Then post a pic!!!! Yay!!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Ladies!!! how are ya'll?? good here- I built a ladder today and am working on school now......

 

[babydust2me]

I don't have any frers left. I will get some tests tomorrow. I have been reading up on Clomid cycles and a lot of people say that they ovulated much later than usual and didn't get a positive until CD 33-36. It also messes with your temps so you can't necessarily trust your chart. All I know is I have had a lot of creamy cm for the last week, heart palpitations, and some insomnia. All of which are very unusual for me pre-AF. I have none of my usual AF symptoms at all. And then the bfp from the other day...Sure it could be a chemical/early mis. I'm not ready to think along those lines though. Anyone have similar symptoms after taking Clomid?

Go get some FRER's then I only did one cycle of clomid, I hated it for the mood swings and for the crappy lining it gave me. I don't recall much else about that cycle other than the intense ovulation pains, and the cyst it left behind! The FRER will pick up very low levels of hCG, as low at 15miu. Let us know how it goes!

I had no symptoms with clomid think everyone reacts differently to it I conceived on 1st round of 50mg that was with my 1st pregnancy 12 years ago.

 

[Grey Eyes]

Hi! re: clomid....it was years ago but I do remember having a long cycle after just before bfp, not sure why?!! Hang in there!

 

[babydust2me]

came last night. It's fine. Going to do another round this month and then if it doesn't happen, I might just get off this rollercoaster. Thanks for the support guys!

Sorry BabyDust, I think you should go see your Dr. A delay in getting your period, and not being pregnant could have meant you had a chemical or possibly a cyst. I would find out if either of those things happened. Unfortunately clomid is known to cause cysts, and if that is happening, you should try a different medication. Femara is very similar to clomid but doesn't cause cysts. I would ask if you could try that instead.

had my cd 4 bloods done today back 24th for cd 18 bloods

YAY! I hope that everything turns out to be fine! Maybe you just need to kick start your cycles with clomid or maybe try femara (I hear it is much safer, lower risk of multiples, no side effects, no thin lining and no cysts)! Only problem is that not all Dr's use it because it is not officially considered a fertility medication. When will you get the results?

 

[alicatt]

Sams.. how are things going? Made any plans to get back on the wagon? You can do it

BabyWhisperer.. let us know how the NT scan and the blood work goes! I'm curious to know how long it takes to get the results! When do you have those tests again? I think it is this week!

Angel.. how are you doing? Baby getting strong? How is your bump looking now? Have you told your work you are pregnant?

Grey Eyes.. how are things at home? By my calculations you should be gearing up for "O" soon! Hope you and your DH and kiddies are all doing well!

Chantal.. how do you feel? Getting excited for your US tomorrow? Can't wait to see your US, and see your little

AFM.. had a rough weekend, felt pretty miserable most of it. Spent yesterday in bed just lounging and napping, it was nice. I keep wishing my MS would go away, but at the same time, having these symptoms reminds me that I'm pregnant. So it is a double edged sword. I panic when it goes away, but hate it when it is here My US is on Wednesday, my FS asked me to bring a thumb drive (usb drive), and they'll download the pictures of my US to it so I can take them home! How cool is that? Now if I can only manage to get through the next 48 hours...

Good morning ladies!

So sorry Babydust I agree with Ali, your doctor should run some tests. That is good that you are doing another round. Best of luck

Hi Ali. Yes I know what you mean. I have had ALL day sickness for the past 3 days and although I feel I am happy the symptoms are a good sign that things are progressing. Will find out tomorrow on the u/s. You are lucky they download pics for you. The place I go they gave me a fuzzy pic the first time and then no pics after that even though I asked. So I will be lucky if I get one!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Aw, Ali and Chantal with the MS... and Babywhisperer too!! Huge to you all, it goes away after a few weeks and you get super energy!

Chantal- fx'd for a fabulous mind-relieving scan tomorrow, I can't wait to see pics!!!

Ali- hey yours also coming up!!! Yay! I am loving this thread!

Babywhisperer- where are you? Hope you are getting SOME rest during this stage, I know it can be so exhausting

Angel- sending energies your way!


Sams....Sams, Sams, Sams Where are you? K, questions! Are you deciding wether to try IVF again? Are you going to test NK cells? Are you staying tough and breaking heads at work? lol....you are one strong lady, you'll see it through!

AFM- ice cream is meal-replacement at my house Seriously It seems to be anyways, it has been HOT here. Dh and I got up in our attic/crawl space yesterday...eeeee super HOT and itchy with insulation and I am guessing spiders and stuff ?? I got to use dh's power tools to build a big heavy wooden ladder/stair set for our attic. I didn't even measure anything and it fits perfect I still "got it" lol Oh, and when I went to get some tools I reached down and grabbed (LITERALLY) a bees nest! I felt it all papery and crunchy in my hand and wasps started buzzing everywhere! I jumped a mile high and ran like crazy Dh saved me tho, he went and knocked out the nest

 

[never_give_up]

Bravo on building a ladder Grey Eyes! Your dh is lucky to have you! You are lucky to have him too saving you from the bees! Yikes!

Called the doc to ask for another round or clomid. Just to give a little history, my perinatal specialist prescribed my 1 st round of clomid but then said that I had to go back to my original practice for any further rounds. So, the nurse called and said that they called in the Clomid and some refills BUT then she added "but you are not going to need the refills". She sounded so absolutely certain but I'm sure she was just trying to make me feel good. I'm feeling fine. Just planned my anniversary get away (without kids) which is less than three weeks away! It is great to have something to look forward to and that I won't be sick and can have drinky poo's by the pool

Just left my NT scan. They said everything looks good. Should get bloods back by Fri or Monday latest. Baby was moving around like crazy, kicking and moving its arms. It was awesome!!!

Chantal you are tomorrow and Ali is Wed right?? I will post a scan when I get off the train.

How's everyone else?

 

[Babywhisperer]

So sorry the nasty witch got you. I agree with Ali, I'd be proactive and try to find out as much as you can. Any tweak in protocol from what they learn could be just what you need to get your bfp.
