I got my day 21 labs back yesterday. I definately did ovulate! Yay! I will test next week. I hope this is our month. I really don't want to have do the clomid again.

Had my first OB appt yesterday, and the dr heard the heartbeat!!! I think I did, but not sure. Can't wait until next month, so hopefully DH and I can hear it. Hope everyone's doing well. It's so quiet in here!

Vi~I just LOVE the ppl that have all the knowledge and opinions in the world and decide you need to hear it, whether or not you want to.(sarcasm). You have the right, positive attitude and as long as you and your family are happy, that's all that matters. My ex sil kind of did that to me the other day, and I was upset for a bit. She was telling me how many m/c she had (3) and how I should wait to tell everyone til after 16 weeks, etc... I believe the more prayers, positive influence, and support, the better:) You hang in there and don't let her get you down. Do you think there's a little jealousy?

Congrats to the new BFP's! That's so exciting!!! I'm almost 23 weeks, one more week to viability, and I'm very excited about that due to the risk of placental abruption. (That I'm told to not worry about, easier said than done...) I'll be 39 in a month, and I'm going to enjoy my last year of 30's lol. My friend is being such a downer during all of this. Telling me that we're just starting when we should be finishing. Says WHO? I'm glad that we started at this point in our lives. We are stable, and we are done with partying lol. We both have careers, and we enjoy being at home and love spending time with our son. Life, as I know it now, is perfect :0) And I can't wait to hold this baby in my arms in January :0)

Mangomomma - congratulations! and best wishes for a happy, healthy 9 months. Best of luck to all ttc. I've changed my profile to ttc. Have met with fertility doctor, and am waiting for results of blood hormone tests before deciding about how to proceed with ivf. Feeling excited and positive.

Hello everyone! I have started Clomid today. We have been unsuccessful for over the past two years on our own. I am little afraid of medications though. Our first child was conceived naturally almost three years ago. Good luck to everyone and hope to hear many success stories!

Hello ladies. Got my BFP last Friday and I'm over the moon!! I want to tell everyone, but dh is holding back until AF does not show for sure. She's due Wed. Then we'll tell his parents, this is his first, and he is their 'baby'. Of course my parents are out of town, but still going to call them. It's the 4th for me. Two older kiddos know, but waiting on the 11 year old : ) Glad I can at least spill the beans to someone! Have a great day everyone.

I will be 37 in November just had a baby boy in June after a tubal reversal in May 2010. Just got my first period after baby exactly one year after my LMP! Hoping to get pregnant again very soon! My baby was breastfed exclusively for the first 11 weeks and just started supplementing with formula when I went back to work 2.5 weeks ago.

Hi, just thought I would pop in and introduce myself. I just turned 38 yesterday and I am 6 weeks pregnant. - AMA. I could have popped in earlier but I was waiting till my birthday to come to terms with it. Hahaha. I hope all is well with all of you. It is nice to be around 'older' mommies or those trying in this stage of life. I don't like how any of that sounds. I have to make fun a little. I wouldn't feel so old if they didn't label me that way! I have 5 boys ages 12,11,9,7,& 5 and have lost 4 others. 1 at 11 weeks and 3 in the last 2 1/2 years in my 16th week. Praying things turn out different this time.

Good luck to those of you ttc, I really hope this is your month!

vi-chick (Yellow) - 152 days ago.
anso, thank-you so much for your reassurance! I've decided that I'm not going to let it worry me. I won't spend the rest of my pg worrying. I'm going to enjoy every minute of it, it's my last pg! And I'm thinking pink this time around!!! I only ever thought of my son as a boy, and I was right with him. This time, I just feel that Peanut is a girl. I'll be shocked if we have another boy, but will be tickled pink either way. I would love for my son to have a brother, and I would love for my husband to have a little princess :0) (and me too!)

Yay! TIming wourked out in my favor this time. Had my dr apt today and he sent of the prescription for Clomid and told me to start it TONIGHT! Fingers, toes and everything else crossed that it helps. Good luck and babydust to all of you ladies. Hang in there, we will all get there! I am sure of it!

Hi ladies...good to see those familiar faces in here still...just popping in. Had my first follow up appt. post-op after my loss last month, and it appears that I'm 'good to go' for trying again. Full post is on my blog, but TLDR: I think we start trying in November. Maybe. :)

Hi ladies, I haven't posted here in a while but for those who remember me I thought I'd give a quick update. I had my bloodwork results & went over them w/ my fertility dr on Monday. If I'm not pregnant this cycle I move on to injectables next, along w/ Ovidrel and possibly an IUI. I'm hoping and praying that I don't need all that. I am currently in my 2ww :)

mangomomma - 153 days ago.
Congrats henrysmaman!! I'm 40, three children 17, 15, 10, and had one mc two years ago. Dh and I are ttc. It's nice to have ppl close to my age. Now if I could just get a bfp, I'd be happy:)

Hi, I just wanted to stop by to say hi. I'm 39 and have a 3-year old son. I'm now 5 weeks pregnant with number 2. I've had 3 miscarriages - 2 just last winter. I'm really nervous but hoping for the best. Looking forward to chatting with you!

mangomomma - 153 days ago.
Congrats mzkae! I've got a dr appt on Friday and I am going to ask him about clomid. Been ttc for over a year now.

mzkae - 153 days ago.
AF finally came 3 days after I finished the Provera. I have never been so excited to see her. Last time was in June. Hopefully the dr will prescibe clomid at my visit tomorrow. I am ready to get this show on the road!

Hi There - sorry to bud in! Papp-a is not a reliable maker for intra-uterine growth restriction (or for anything else, by itself) . That is why they use it in combination with other makers (triple or quad test). Some studies reported it was associated with a risk but many others were not able to reach the same conclusion. (I have a PhD in molecular biology and have recently investigated reviewed the litterature on that topic). Don't worry too much. And basides, the only thing they can do if additional monitoring and they already plan on doing that for you (yeah: you'l get to see your littl eone oftne!). Wishing you a healthy pregnancy...

Hi all, just an update on us. We got the results on our screening. Great news!! Baby is just fine, no real risks there. Was told that we are showing a lesser risk than normal for my age. So I guess that answers your question, sher! Bad news. I have low PAPP-A, which could cause problems with the placenta and has a 10% chance of low uterine growth, spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery and stillbirth after 24 weeks. I am now considered high risk, and will be monitored more closely with u/s at 28, 32 & 36 weeks, followed by a repeat c-section at 39 weeks as long as we make it that far! There is a 90% chance that nothing will go wrong and we will deliver a perfectly healthy baby, at 39 weeks. So I'm praying for that result. We are on team yellow, so won't know the sex till baby is born. Apparently this condition is common, and I'm being told to not worry. Easier said than done! Anyone have any experience with low PAPP-A?

I started Provera Thursday night. I am feeling a bit sluggish, some light cramping and bloating. I hope it does the trick. I go back to the dr in 2 weeks. We are going to talk about Clomid then. I hope we go ahead with it. I am past ready!

SHER25: I just had my NT scan on Monday and the blood work. I am 41 years old, so by age alone my risk is around 1 in 70 i think. My NT measurement was 1.1mm which is excellent, and the blood work came back with a negative and a 1 in 2670 chance of Downs! My doctor said I had the same risk as a 15 year old. lol. I thought for sure the blood work would be positive, but if you don't have the marker in your blood that they are looking for, then your odds will be great. Let me know how you make out.
