Hula I've got everything crossed for you! All sounding very positive! Now get the action in :) We're in a similar position as I'm also very blessed to already have a little one (I have a DS who is 2 and a half) - and desperate for a sibling for her. And considered 'older' (much older than you at nearly 43!)..! So never give up!
Wow Sunny you are well on the way - will you find out if a girl or boy? Good you are having the extra scans and support. I saw my doc and she was sooo unsupportive and unhelpful I couldn't believe it, had never heard of NK cells and thought I was talking crazy and when I showed her my prescription for all the stuff I am meant to be taking now pregnant she was all shocked and acted like I had been to see some crazy doctor! Was so annoyed (Dr S office hadn't sent them anything to explain what was going on or my treatment so she was a bit in the dark and if she'd never heard of it all I guess she would be wary of all these drugs while pregnant)... but it just annoyed me as the NHS refused my referral to st mary's after 3 MCs because of my age. And are now criticising the treatment I have found and paid for myself and the only thing that is giving me faith that it might actually work this time.
Seeking - I don't know what to say about when to start taking preds, have never done the temp thing, I'm lucky as kind of know (think I know) when I ovulate as get a crazy crampy pain at the same time roughly every month. I started relying on that more than OPKs recently.
In fact, the 2 times I got pregnant using OPKs it took a few months. We didn't really dtd lots until I had weed on a stick and got the go ahead! And it always took a few months for me to get PG. Then I got even more obsessed in my 'getting pregnant' research and kept reading about how long the sperm can survive and how they can happily just hang out waiting for the egg so became obsessed with having a load in there ready for when I ovulated (this is probably so obvious to everyone else but to me it was a revelation!). And in all the months where we just dtd every other day from the day after my period ended, way before apparent ovulation I got pregnant so much more quickly (pretty much every time - at 42 as well). So am just putting it out there - get the action in for a good few days before that egg pops out if you can and then from then onwards too of course. I think we wasted about a year waiting to dtd on when the opk said to do so. It did work that way too but took longer... Maybe my other half has sperm that just like to chill out in the cervix for ages, everyone is different, but on the off chance anyone is just waiting on OPKs and then going mad DTD, get some extra action in beforehand it might help loads!
Sorry if I am stating the obvious - I think I am going a bit crazy, don't know if I am coming or going, preds and pregnancy are a bit of a crazy mix. Am at 5 weeks and 2 days today, very early days I know and pretty scared but trying to be positive.
Off to bed soon but probably won't get to sleep til at least 1 or 2 (preds!)!
Anyway sorry to have gone off on one - wrote so much! Just letting it all out - it's therapeutic! I don't know you all as well as new to all this so sorry to just come out with a load of rambling you probably are all thinking 'who is this mad person in our thread'?!
Hope everyone is ok, I will go now ! xx
