I used OPK to determine the right day of the month for conception and we dtd both the night it was positive and the following night.

@so sorry babydusted. I turn 42 this month and I'm worried my chances are over too. I have never had a problem conceiving when my chart is perfectly by the book and this time it didn't happen. Now since I got AF my temp has been above the coverline for nearly 11 days, had 3 lower dips, so I finally changed thermometers, hoping that would fix it and now my temp is a bit lower, so still hoping......I find it really discouraging to be older and ttc.

Thanks Misty and indigo...I can't help feeling that I'm racing the clock--but with the medications I'm on, I'm very disappointed that I might miss my window for pregnancy. I'm really glad to find women my age who are going through this--even my regular doc keeps asking me if I'm 'really sure' I want to go through this at my age. Hmmph! Just because my friends and family don't want this commitment, doesn't make me crazy for wanting to. :)

Indiocream - This is number 7 for me!! We are very close in numbers and age!

Hi I'm 42 and I'm pregnant with number 8! Any who just had to reach out to my age group.. These youngster are unbelievable on this site...

MistyVT - 15 days ago.
I am 43 and 17 weeks pregnant tomorrow!!! Just to inspire some of you Mom's who are currently racing against your time clock!! The pressure is likely more stressful than the age factor itself!

Hi ladies......happy 2012! Not sure I have been on the AAP forum since the new year. =) I would be soooooooo incredibly happy to join you all soon....I just got an appt confirmation phone call from my docs office for my annual visit (I had completely forgotten about it).....i haven't had a visit from AF since September 2011!!! It would be such a nice surprise to be told we are expecting baby #3!!!! Congrats to all the recent BFP's and lots of sticky baby dust to all those TTC.....my appt is Friday afternoon....wierd but I am actually excited to go get a pap smear. LOL My prayers are going up and my fingers are crossed for all of us hoping for that BFP!!! =)

Hi , just got AF, but I am excited about trying next month.. I feel like time is running out for me !

babydusted - 21 days ago.
Argh, argh and double ARRRGhhhh! I wasn't feelign too well and it was almost time for us to start trying for this month, so I went to the dr. for a checkup. I am STILL spilling white blood cells in my urine, so it's probable the kidney infection (or something else) is wrong. Back on two weeks of a new antibiotic, and getting my liver screened....sigh. Means no trying for me for sure until at least the end of February. I'm really starting to wonder if the baby I lost in August is our last shot for having a little one. I just turned 42, and I can't seem to stay healthy long enough for us to try again. :( Very disappointing....

@frizzy I guess AF arrived tonight so it wasn't just my cold room and erratic sleep. Seems really light so far and no cramping yet. I am so discouraged, wonder if I will ever see a BFP again? I know I o'd, I know I bd'd on the right day, I know my luteal phase was long enough, my temps were triphasic which happenns to me when pregnant. So what could have gone wrong? I'm guessing it's the end of my fertility??

@weber - i guess, just wait & take it easy. normally yes, dip temp --> af. but we never know until af shows up. I had exp >10 days late, hpt all negative but with all d preg signs, AF came 11 days late, 1 st time ever in my life. i blamed it on stress. good luck & warm wishes.

weber3 - 24 days ago.
@fizzy My temp dipped this morning back to my coverline, that always means AF is here but AF hasn't showed, this time I wonder because I temped after having only about 3 hours of very unrestful tossing and turning kind of sleep in a cold room. So I took another test, still BFN and my cycle is NEVER overdue nor is my luteal phase this long without being pregnant. I know I am clinging to an invisible hope but still no AF so I am hoping......

fizzy85 - 25 days ago.
@weber - high temp is a good sign, hang on there

weber3 - 26 days ago.
CD 27/28 took a test today and BFN, still hoping though because my temps are still high and triphasic, didn't mean to test so early, got my days mixed up

Good to hear from you babydusted. FX and lots of baby dust being sent your way!!!!

babydusted - 27 days ago.
Greetings to all my 'old' friends (ha ha!)...Hubby and I are just about ready to start our ttc again journey after losing our angel last August. @ Jaguar--there's never a guarantee that you will hit your target date. Maybe talk with him about why he feels you need to wait (recognizing it may take you YEARS to conceive) and see if you might start a little earlier (February is just around the corner)... Worst case, I suggest just jumping him when you 'feel inclined'. He surely won't complain and you may have a happy accidental outcome. :)

@weber - u could try occupy ur mind with something else. i did it unwillingly actually because a mere mention of baby, kids, children or words with related meanings would ignite argument with my dh, blessing in disguise, lol!

weber3 - 29 days ago.
@ fizzy how did you do it? If I could turn my brain off to not think about pregnancy right now I would. Would make these 2 weeks go by so much faster. The time goes so slow in the 2WW and the first trimester, even slower

fizzy85 - 29 days ago.
gosh, @weber, i'm very excited. want to see ur bfp soon. i dunno if it helps but last time i trick my brain by not thinking abt it, i guess it helps my body with the implantation. i only tested end of week 5, very fat fat fat bfp, love tht moment so much! very best wishes for you too @agummybear

@weber I am 7dpo too!

weber3 - 30 days ago.
@fizzy hoping soon!! In just a few short hours will be 7dpo, getting excited.....

fizzy85 - 31 days ago.
@weber-yeah. i always believe in doing all possible means to increase our chance of healthy n successful preg. last time, i didnt take pre-natals, just acid folic. so next time i want to take d pre-natals...all d best to us, i can see healthy babies at end..

weber3 - 31 days ago.
@fizzy Definitely take his advice, we have enough problems to make some more!

fizzy85 - 32 days ago.
i remember reading (from a very famous gynae who specialise in recurring m/c) abt lacking of some vits - magnesium, selenium & co-enzym Q10 can cause m/c. i guess we better take the prenatals then..

fizzy85 - 32 days ago.
a friend took prenatals, preg vits which worked well with her three pregnancies (3 healthy babies). not i dont think it's wasting @weber, we need all the nutrients. i took conception vits. the only issue with me is tht, whenever i take supplement, i would get dark circles under my eyes, indicating my liver is overworking to process the vits. i guess fresh food is a much better option. but i would take the prenatals whenever i miss the 5 portion of fruit n vege things. another thing is, last time we only bd twice, none during the 2ww, and i would do the same this time, not sure if my dh would be okay with tht..well, i'll pretend that i am busy..lol!
