Trying to conceive over 40 part 2

[October1979]

Here is a new thread for us girls

@October1979 ❤️❤️❤️

@October1979 it's definitely encouraging that you've gotten pregnant, have you asked for progesterone I can't remember? It could make the difference!

I got my phone call today and start clomid next cycle so going on a total health kick this month to try everything I can!

Hi@Marvellouslymadmum I've to phone epu on positive pregnancy test and they will see if consultant will prescribe xx

@Marvellouslymadmum It's good your getting clomid why are the prescribing it? Have always wondered if it would make a difference. Will keep everything crossed for you

@October1979 oh that's good! I'm kicking myself for not asking the dr for it but may speak to the gp and see what she says. They've prescribed it as my ov is all over the place, she said it will give me a stronger ovulation so hopefully a better chance 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Marvellouslymadmum I really hope it works. I might not be here without Clomid. My mum had it to have my sister and it kickstarted her ovulation after extremely irregular cycles. As you know, I would have been on a path for it as a next step. Fingers crossed for you. Xx

@Catconfusion thank you, I really do feel like it's my last chance of working. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

If anyone's got any tips on how I can be as healthy as possible and anything extra I can do, take to help please let me know!!

@Marvellouslymadmum I did the Mediterranean diet for a few months and I think it really helped. It's supposed to be really good for fertility. Lots of oily fish, nuts and seeds, berries. It's high protein low carb. I purchased the pcos diet plan from...

I think it was worth it. DH did it too. I have no way of proving it helped as we had fallen off the wagon a bit just before I conceived but it might have helped with egg quality. Xx

@Catconfusion I have tried looking at the Mediterranean diet but I'm a veggie so it's not quite as easy but I'm going to give it a go thank you!

@Marvellouslymadmum I think we might have had this conversation before. Could maybe swap out the protein for plant based foods like chickpeas etc. Also get omegas from flax seeds and nuts like walnuts. It's difficult changing diet with no guarantees it will work. Xx

@Marvellouslymadmum scan went fine. I convinced myself to hear the words... I'm sorry... but she said there's baby and there's the heartbeat. They put me at 11 weeks instead on 10+3 but will confirm at the dating scan in another 2 weeks. I actually cried to the sister afterwards as my emotions were bubbling under the surface all morning. Still not out of the woods yet I know, but this is the furthest I've gone bar having my daughter. Taking one week at a time still.

And breathe.

Aww @Lastyearttc that's fantastic news. It's amazing how the emotions can hit you. Your chances are excellent all will be well at the stage you're at. Roll on the dating scan. Xx

@Catconfusion yes we did, I was going to start it and had all the good intentions and made a list of what to buy in the shops then never did it 😂

@Lastyearttc amazing news! I'm so so happy for you, let's hope that's a good sign of things to come

@Marvellouslymadmum I think I did the same thing 😂. It's so hard to find the motivation sometimes. I wish you all the luck in the world. Xx

@Catconfusion it really is, thank you! I'm just paranoid that the endo is what's stopping it happening and therefore clomid won't work anyway but still worth a go!! Xx

@Marvellouslymadmum do you know how bad the endo is? Hopefully it's not affecting things. The Clomid sounds like it's definitely worth a shot. Xx

@Catconfusion no, I have no idea as she wasn't interested in doing a laparoscopy at all! All I know is I have adeno definitely and possibly endo and been ttc 3.5 years with no success 🤷🏼‍♀️ it's worth a go, I'm hoping if it doesn't work I can convince her to do a lap then try clomid again xx

@Marvellouslymadmum it's so difficult when you don't know what's going on. Hopefully the doctor has a hunch it's mild. Hoping you get good news after your Clomid cycle. Xx

@Catconfusion to be honest she just want interested and said if I've had children before it won't effect it - that was almost 16 years ago! 😂 so I know it can definitely change in that time but at least she's willing to try something, me to I thank you xx

@Lastyearttc fantastic news! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Lastyearttc that's wonderful news xx

Hi all, I hope you don’t mind but I thought I’d share my FRER test progression as I think it looks ok. I know it’s still early days but I’m allowing myself to be cautiously optimistic 😊

That looks really good!!!!

@Marvellouslymadmum oh no, definitely sounds like it will need checking out, especially if the Clomid isn’t working. Hopefully nothing to worry about. Xx

@Honey2 this made my day 🙂 such lovely progression. I really hope this is it for you. Xx
