Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

Yeah Ali!!!! It's really happening, so excited for you. Relax and try and just go with the flow. If you meditate do, if not get that relaxing music on to calm your excitement and distract yourself (is that possible lol, I cant stop thinking about you so goodness knows how you must feel!) xoxoxo

I'm just back from hospital where they took blood tests for starting my investigations. I got more sense out of the nurse, no surprise there! The blood tests will only take a week to come back and the swabs which i got done on Wednesday could be up to a few weeks. 6 months? Where the hell did 6 months come from!!!!

Anyway that's a little more positive and means I can ask my GP next week if anything showed up. The tests they are running are the basic coagulation screening and thrombophilia screening but at least it's a start...

Have a good weekend all xo
 
Ali!! Yippee!!!:happydance::hugs::thumbup::dust::yipee::headspin::wohoo::loopy:\\:D/

Great timing Ali! The TWW will be LOOOOONNNNG! I have my FX'd for you!!! Sending you :dust: and prayers...

Much love!!
 
Just had a positive OPK.. so the trigger is working!
If the predictions are correct, I should be ovulating very early Saturday morning.
I hope everything works out correctly!
Thanks everyone for the well wishes! :hugs:

Hey Ali,

I had my positive OPK this morning, so we can be TWW buddies :)

It sounds like everything is lining up for your first IUI. Thank you for sharing with us!

Hello ladies, thought I would say hi this morning, still down, STILL BLEEDING?????????? this makes 8 days of this crap, what the hell is going on? originally today was the day I was due for AF, but got it the 1st, for some crazy reason, if this is what this is. Ali I am soooo happy for you, like the girls said just relax and enjoy what the outcome is going to be all sounds very very positive.


Grey eyes thanks for saying I am a strong ladie, but right now honey I dont feel so strong, this bleeding is just not stopping. I am trying to satay positive that everything is going to be ok, but it is soooo hard each time you go to the rest room and see it is still there grrrrr.

Hi jess, sounds to me you are doing well too. happy for you all really I am, I am just waiting for my turn, this is just crazy whats going on with me in all the years I have had my cycles since I was 12 this has never happened, I quess that is why I am soooo worried, Its just not normal.


Hugs HUGS and :dust::dust::dust: to you all,Thanks for all your encouraging words and support it means alot :hugs: FRIENDS

Tia...it looks like we are both waiting for our turn. I STILL have not done an OPK this month. I am not really concerned with it for this month now. BUT, just in case it is like it was last month, I will be doing a little :sex:'ing this weekend! Lol! (the sex icon seems almost vulgar to me! lol!)

I got a secnd interview next Tuesday for a job I REALLY want. So if I don't get PG this month, I am ok with it. I still think it would look crazy for me to start a job and take maternity leave shortly after starting. :wacko:

Are you actually bleeding, or is it the brown stuff that happens before/after? My SIL had 3 months of what she thought was her cycle before she realized she was PG. So I don't always count it out. Her only symptom was extreme fatigue.

Sending you prayers!! ...and lots of :dust: :winkwink:

I'm sorry Tia...just keep hoping and having faith that it will happen. How long have you been trying? How old are you?
I'm 40 and have been trying since February. (But I have actually been off birth control since June of last year.)

I don't know a lot of the medical information associated with infertility or why it takes us so long to conceive. But I do know that I will keep trying until it happens. Stay strong sweetie! We can be strong together! :hugs: or we can come on this thread and cry together...either way, me and the rest of the women on this thread are here for you...:hugs: :hugs:

Thanks Jess,:hugs::cry: I have been trying to concieve now for 14 months, had my tubak reversal in april of last year, and I will be 41 on june 27th, I have been doing alot of crying that is for sure. It has really been extreamly hard for me. and getting harder with each passing month. HUGS HUGS FRIENDS
 
Tia,

Just wanted to say we are all here for you! Sound like you are just having a wacky month. Hopefully next month everything will be back to normal for you!

I forget what your background is? You said you had a tubal reversal? Since then have they done a test to make sure the tubes are open? How about your hormone levels and egg reserves? I hate to say it but as soon as we get close to 40 (I'm 40 in Oct) our bodies just don't have the same ability to create healthy eggs, or maintain a pregnancy. So you may need to have a little help! If you haven't already done so, I think it would be a good idea to go and see a RE/FS and have a work up completed.

In the mean time, we are here to give you lots of hugs :hugs: and a shoulder to lean on or cry :cry: on.

Ali
 
My BF John did come with me, and he was great, it was nice to have someone to chat with while I was sitting there waiting. We actually waited around 40 mins, when they said initially only 20, but I figured why not just wait until they come get us, its better to lie there I would think.

We actually were both laughing the entire time. First off, they had to open a new tube of KY and it somehow got pressurized in there, and sprayed all over the room! That made us all laugh, even the Dr! HEHE.:haha: So that helped lighten the mood.

Then he put the speculum in, and said that my cervix looked good and within a few seconds the catheter was up where is should be and then another 2 seconds later the sperm was in and it was all done! Only took a matter of minutes for the entire procedure. Talk about wham bam thank you ma'am! :haha:

So they checked the sample and it was 25M sperm. I think that is good? He said that was good. I have no frame of reference, but it sounded good?

Then they gave me some samples of the Crinone enough for 4 days, and a coupon for $50 off. This stuff must be expensive! Hopefully it isn't too much! He wants me to take it until we get a positive/negative HPT, and then I guess I get passed off to my OBGYN and we either continue with it or not.

Coy? How long did you use your progesterone suppositories?

So right now I'm doing the happy dance :happydance::happydance:, but soon I'll be stressing about my symptoms and the 2WW! ARGH! Why does it have to take so long?

Jess - sounds like you are going to have a fun weekend :sex: Enjoy!!

:hugs: to you all, and thanks so much for the positive vibes and encouragement you have all given me!!! I can't tell you how much it means :flower::flower::kiss:

That sounds great, Ali! I think 20 million sperm is the count one shoots for (pun intended) when doing a sperm analysis. Very few of those (100's? 1000's?) usually make it past the cervix, into the uterus. So, having 25M past the cervix sounds pretty awesome!

And it's also great that John was there with you and you were both so comfortable. When I froze my eggs, my new bf came with me and he's now my DH. Either way, it's nice that he is being a good friend when you needed one.
 
Ok..I did not do my OPK this month (sisn't really feel like it), but if last month is any indication I should be ovulating tomorrow or Sunday...

So here I am today with sore BBs (more sore than they have been in months!) and EWCM!!! :happydance:

Time to :sex: ...:dance::smug:

Ali-Yay! :happydance: I ams o excited for you!! This is aweosme, couldn't ask for better odds :) 25M sounds like an awesome number and shot right on target :haha: lol! :) I took the micronized progesterone vaginal suppositories for 9.5-10 weeks. The idea is to take it until the placenta can fully take over progesterone at about 12 weeks. So I wouldn't be surprised if your doc doesn't put you on it right away! :thumbup: Btw the $50.00 off is awesome...I don't know how much you pay for the Crinone (same thing I took just a different deposit method, e.g. yours is squirt-gel while mine was hard stick method :roll:) I paid $107.00 for a 31 day supply supply. Not bad considering the alternative possibilities ...So a total of just $114.00. Also...once you get "passed off" to your OBGYN I would fairly insist upon the progesterone. From what I have read once you are taking it to stop cold turkey can cause a hormone swing which may be detrimental to successful implantation and continuance. Scary I know but better you be prepared and know where you stand with it. And just in case your corpus luteum isn't pumping out enough progesterone :shrug: better to take it :)
 
Ali- sounds like you're getting your bases covered as far as bd timing...and ewcm always feels like such an accomplishment doesn't it?! I always felt that way anyhow, like YES! FINALLY! lol...
 
Tia, Angel, Georgia, Marathongirl--hope you are all doing good and staying positive! Try not to stress out as it all happens in the best timing! :thumbup:
