hi there, yes, she posted it on the pregnant and 35 board. Good luck in the a.m!! That would be great for you. I am on CD3 and don't ill around cd20, so a long way a way. I've gotten over my disappointment and am just going along. We'll see hwat happens this month. We;'ve decided we'll try another 6 months then will stop. I will be almost 38 and I think that'll be it for us. We will be blessed with our 3 and call it a day. Good luck in the morning...ttyl

Any news?

lovemy3, I went for the test, but I told the nurse not to bother calling me today if it is negative. She had a talk with me because she saw I was scared and sad, but she agreed to do it. I think it is best not to verbalize the "negative words" that is always such a hard phone call to get. Anyway, if she calls by 5 today, I'll let you know, but I'm not counting on it. I had a dream last night I got my period too! That is not good. Maybe my cycle will be close to yours this next month if I get Af on Fri-Sat..when I am due. I have to tell you, my girlfriend Carrie was 36 and it took her 11 months to conceive number 2. She couldn't believe it didn't happen so quickly as the first one did (which was an accident) two years before. But I didn't even know she was having a hard time conceiving, because she never let me know. I told her she should have confided in me for support you know? But I just think it is funny that know one shares that they had a hard time "unless you do first." Well, I told that story because on the 12th month, she finally got it, she started babydancing on cd 10-18 every other day, and it worked. I guess when you get a bit in to your late 30s, it does start to wane off, fertility, but there are still a lot of women it is happening for, despite the later age, it just takes time. You should totally keep trying.

Hi linds99, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers throughout today. I hope you get your BFP, that would be so great. How long have you been trying and are you using any methods etc? If you don't mind me asking your age? Don't want to be nosey and don't feel obligated. Like I said before i am 37 and ttc#4. We tried nov, dec , jan of 05, then stopped and now aug 06 and sept 06 with no luck. haven't been to the drs at all but didn't know of anything out of whack. My guess is early menopause like my mom and/or scarring as I have had 3 c-sections in the past. My oldest is 11 and youngest just turned 3. So thats my story, have a great day.

lovemy3, I am an open book, I am 29, I have officially been trying for one year (October 2) and no kids. I have PCOS, just found out after charting and nothing after 6 months of trying. Began seeing an RE in May and I have done two rounds of clomid with two inseminations (four total-since I do 2 insems consecutively each cycle) (passed the clomid challenge test this cycle I am on). Anyway, thanks so much for thinking about me. this is definitely not for the weak...but I am feeling weak today. Actually, I had a dream dictionary tell me that my dream of menstruation actually meant a release from all my worries and anxieties, a time for relaxation is near. So I hope it was right on. I'm still waiting on a call from the RE, and nothing yet, so I'm assuming at this point, another bust cycle. Figures, I never have any luck. Things never go my way, its always the hard road for me. I must have been or did something really bad in my former life to be punished like this this time around. I just wish whatever it was, someone, some God would have mercy on me!

Well, I never got a call, so I guess I know my answer. BFN. Of course. I think I am going to just die right now, I feel that awful. How do other women deal with this? For the last 12 months of negative after negative, I seriously have nothing positive to say about life and/or anything anymore. Everyone who has kids are so lucky, and everyone who conceived them with no problems are the luckiest...they don't even know!

Hi, I'm writing from MN at Grandma's house. AF snuck up on me yesterday afternoon! Oh well, and I'll be here until next Tuesday, so I won't be able to start my Clomid, so I think I'll be skipping a cycle. I asked my RE if we could do another Progesterone test to see what my levels are. I'm hoping they are high enough so I don't have to use Prometrium - yuck! I hate Prometrium with a passion!!!!!! Linds, I'm soooo sorry that you got a BFN too! I know it's hard and definitely not for the weak. At least we know we're strong! We can take it! I had 2 mature eggs this time around, and I have to skip this month, but I think it's good to take a break. I've been doing this since March (although I did have a break in June). Lovemy3, so you had c-sections with all your children?! Wow! You are definitely strong! What was the reason you ended up doing that? Well, I'm holding up okay, just gotta be patient...I'm learning this lesson very well, and have been trying to learn this lesson for quite some time! Guess we'll see what happens in November! Good luck to you both!

Hi there, Sorry about the BFN Linds99, that is too bad for sure. Try to be positive although that is very hard. I believe that it is all within Gods timing and we don't know why things are this way. It is a hard road, I hope you feel better after a nights sleep. celestia...how are oyu doing at your Grandmas...I hope you are feeling at rest about your grandpa, that is too bad your af came as well. You asked about the c-sections....I had the first because I had severe preeclampsia and an er section and the same for the second and with the third, because I had already had 2 and I got gestational diabetes. My pregnacies have been very long scary roads. half of me thinks that is why I'm not concieving this time around, maybe its for my own safety. I was told by my maternal illness/fetal medicine specialist i could have 1 more and that is definately it. So thats it for me.

Hi there all...I am new to all of this online stuff. My DH and I have been ttc for over a year now,,,had my hsg done 2 weeks ago...cervix was closed, doc opened it tubes look good, progesterone level was checked last week...results were great..16.4...I will find out on Sat if I am preg. Today I am at 12 dpo had some spotting..don't know if it implantation bleeding or af coming...ya'll pray for me...as we all do I just want to be preg. I know God has a reason for everything and I do not doubt Him but I am just ready to have a baby.

Welcome angelkitty, I hope this is your month and you are pregnant. You are right it is His timing, although it is hard to always remember that isn't it. Lets pray for good results for you,

lovemy3, sounds like a long, hard road you've been on with your pregnancies. I hope your next one will go better! Angelkitty - welcome and good luck today! I hope you get your BFP! (big fat positive)! Linds, how are you holding up? I'm sure God will give you your baby in His time. I thought for sure this was my cycle, but it's not. I hope we all get BFPs by the end of the year! Take care all - I'm still at Grandma's until Monday night. I'll talk to you all on Tuesday!

Angelkitty...how was your test today?

I had a terrible Friday and awful Saturday because AF came...of course. Sunday, I felt better and today I went in to the RE for my ultrasound and baselines. Anyway, I think I am opting to sit out this cycle, I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow and I am going to ask about getting my left tube burned or cut out or removed because I have a light hydrosalpinx (fluid) build-up and I tend to think it may be toxic to the embryo/egg/sperm. Anyway, the nurse agrees with me and thinks I should just move on to injectionables and do IVF...but i still have to get the hydrosalpinx gone, so I guess I may be having laprascopy surgery this month. I'll let you you all know tomorrow. I still feel depressed, but i am just trying to keep my head up anyway I can. This is so hard and i find myself tearing up at the drop of a coin...so I know I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown at any moment. Angelkitty, are you pregnant????
