Over 40 ttc - Autumn baby dust for me!

[Orchid222]

Here's our new thread, let's hope it's a lucky one!

Rose, how are you doing? Is everything ok?

Ok things are happening now...waiting for my meds, starting the protocol on Monday and freaking out! I just can't believe it had to come to that 😢
Critter- any tips/ warnings you have please share!

Chat and taxgirl, thanks, hopefully I have just missed the surge and ov is happening as we have been dtd eod thankfully. Ava stats are all looking good and suggest ov today, although temp not gone up yet. Will see what tomorrow brings. I have a slow rise anyway so may take a few days. It's just unusual for me not to get a +opk or peak so I'm hoping overies haven't quit and left the building.

Oh orchid how exciting and scary! Please keep us updated on details! I really hope this works for you

Cleo it's so scary! By the time I finished reading what meds to take when my poor head was spinning! 🙄

I hope it works too! Trying to stay positive

@Cleozeta we are working on the eod principle too.. not due to ov till after the weekend but the ovaries are really twingey and achey now

Thanks for asking @Taxgirl1
Nothing to report here, just ticking off the days until I can find out more. Struggling a bit with constant nausea, (it’s not bad, but always there), but otherwise all is okay. x

So sorry for the TMI but I got up this morning and I just knew my period had started. You know the feeling. Anyway, went to bathroom and there was a huge amount of EWCM, loads of it! What does this even mean? I messaged my doc yesterday and he said not to worry about the BFN that it was much too early to tell.

Presh I was going to say the same thing to you that it was way too early just forgot. Sit back, relax and wait. I think at the very earliest you should be testing tomorrow which I think would put you at 12dpiui if I remember your iui date correctly though personally I'd wait 2 weeks until Sat if AF doesn't arrive.

@Orchid222 Good luck! Let us know How you get on I’m starting December or January depending on what Clinic says next Wednesday 😬

@Rose68 that's exactly how I felt wks 6-12. I know all pregnancies are different etc etc. I have everything crossed that baby is growing and that you get good news.

@Presh12345 it's hopeful that af didn't arrive. Fingers crossed for you.

Good luck @Orchid222 ! Presh, fingers crossed Af doesn't arrive!
Here unfortunately Af did arrive late yesterday... I knew it would as my temperatures crashed but It was 2 days late so I was secretly hoping for a miracle... and now feel a bit gutted... oh well, onward and upwards!

Presh - that’s promising. With my pregnancies I’ve had loads of CM. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Cleo - thank you again for your words of wisdom. I’m so relieved to hear you had the same (horrid) symptoms and that your cycles have gone back to regular. Today I’m feeling a lot more like my usual self, just suddenly not feeling hot anymore. Praying the oestrogen is kicking back in 🙏

Orchid and Reality - loads of luck with the treatment. I’ll be praying for you too.

Ameliel - so sorry af arrived:(

Hi all, been away without internet for a few days and so much has happened on the thread - i cant keep up with everyone but just wanted to say good luck to all those waiting to test, for scans, and about to start treatments!

Thanks ladies for your good luck wishes- I'll need all the luck I can get! I'm slightly terrified but also relieved that I'm finally progressing and maybe there's a light at the end if the tunnel.
Mimosa- glad to hear you're feeling better!

Mimosa - what cd are you now? Maybe you are about to ovulate!

Sorry about af @Ameliel
Good luck everyone xx

New here. Mind if I join you lovely ladies please?! Gave birth to my 1st just before I turned 34. The second took 5 years and many IVF cycles to achieve, due to both male and female fertility issues. I got Depo injection in November last year and no period since. But a few weeks ago I had twinging on my ovaries then a week ago I had period cramping... but no period followed. Same thing happened a few days later. I convinced myself I was pregnant as I had the same cramping early on with both my pregnancies, but yesterday a test gave me a BFN. But that started the fantasy of me wanting to be pregnant, especially because everyone says when you forget about it you will conceive, and you hear so many stories of that being the case. I'd love to just forget about it and if it happens then great and if not I should be grateful for the two children that I have. I realise some of you my be wanting to conceive your first and I hope I don't offend by wanting a third.
Breastfeeding went pear shaped with both my children and I really felt like I missed out on that bonding of motherhood that I'd really love to experience, and I can't help but want it.

Another morning, another test, another BFN. No AF (could be progesterone tablets), still feeling shite, still feeling tired, still nauseous.

Welcome @Shellster52, I'm trying for number 6 and have experienced no judgement at all... you are in the right place.. x @Presh12345 what day are you ?

@chatbash I had iui on Saturday 3rd. Do we count the day of IUI? If so 13dpiui. If not then 12dpiui. I Feel awful. I Feel like bursting into tears all the time. I am absolutely exhausted. I'm totally overwhelmed with work as well. I just want to sleep.

Presh do you know what day you actually ovulated? How long is your cycle naturally... would AF normally have arrived by now? Was IUI to overcome a specific medical that is hindering you conceiving?

Thank you Chat Wow, number 6! I would think having 5 babies previously would be an advantage to trying to conceive again. Are you trying naturally?

@shell no specific medical condition just age factor. I know I had trigger on Thursday 1st November 9.30pm with our Saturday 3rd 10.30am. He did a quick scan before on the Saturday and I hadn't ovulated but was very close. I just feel horrendous at the moment.

Oh and AF was due last Tuesday but due to progesterone gel and tablets twice a day, I think that's what is delaying it.
