Update

Well I thought I would let you ladies know that I got a positive HPT (faint line again).    Today is CD28 and AF is due tomorrow.   I am praying this one sticks.  

I'm over 40, my fsh was 11.8 after clomid challenge test about 6 months ago, who knows what it is now.   I am hoping this is a good egg and not a dud.  

I am guarded with the feelings at this point.   I mean what's the chance of having 4 dud pregnancies in a row?  I'm suppose to get a 50% chance right to keep if it's a 50% chance to miscarry.  

Is this what happens when you're over 40?   Chemical pregnancy after chemical pregnancy???    

I haven't told DH and I will probably wait a few weeks to mention anything, like after I've seen the HB!  

I haven't called my doctor either (for the blood test).  I mean what's the point of being told my HCG is 6 and 12 like last time? Besides I feel like such an idiot calling and saying I'm pregnant, just to have it fizzle out on me.  


Well wish me luck!

Congratulations!  I know all about the guarded feelings.  I am now 5w2d and am worried sick about losing this one, too.  Just relax and know that it's all in God's hands (I think I need to follow my own advice...lol!).  Good luck with everything.  Getting your beta levels check could be reassuring.  I can't stand the unknown.

I'm am so happy for you.  40 is still very young in life but as we know, not in fertility life so I'm especially happy to see this working out for you.  I don't know how you can keep it from DH tho.  But I'm a open book, I can't keep my own secrets to save my life.  Best of luck to you.  Please keep us posted.

Hi...I'm not sure if you will be reading this today.   The only reason I'm not telling DH is because this is my fourth pregnancy is 6 months.   He took it really hard when I miscarried the first time, the second time we got excited again, but then lost it right away.   The third time I told him,  I didn't get the reaction I was looking for, then like a jacka**, I had to tell him that I lost it.  So I'm guarding this one right now.   No sense in sharing anything with him, if he can't give me the support I need.    To be honest he said something very ignorant and hurtful to me with the third loss.   I'm just trying to protect myself. too.

Yvette, My heart goes out to you.  I cannot even image how difficult this has been for you.  I'm glad you aren't giving up.  

I'm so glad that I found this message board.  My DH tries to be supportive but it just wears him down if I focus on TTC too much.  This has become my release.    

Hang in there.  I'll be looking forward to your updates.
