I am trying to get pregnant at 42 and I have questions

Hi there... this is the start of my baby making process.  I had surgery to open my tubes and stared on Clomid and my doctor says all systems are go!  Do I stop drinking coffee and wine right away? how many attempts does it take?? What should I be doing and not doing??????????  any help will be appreciated.  And some happy new from others would be more than welcome.

No need to get snippy. Your original post seemed to be addressed to everyone here, and I took offense because there is really only ONE poster who is pretty much negative all the time. Everyone else here is usually very positive and supportive, which is why I like all of these women so much!

I'm so glad you found the site encouraging, Natalie.  Focusing on it makes you feel all enthused and hopeful.

O, yes, 2 cycles will go very quickly, in the meantime enjoy your TTC break.

It isn't a rare thing for women to make babies in their 40s.  I don't know where that thinking came from???

Thanks for your note......

Just so you note:  I can read for myself thank you.  It's not necessary for you to point out the support I see it for myself and God bless the women for their support and encouragement, it makes a strong difference.  If I didn't acknowlege the positive support I apologize.  It doesn 't mean I did not recognize it nor did it mean it wasn't greatly appreciated.... and I can see the negative tones as well for myselfl...thanks anyway.

Just so you note...there was really only ONE post that was gloom and doom. Almost everyone on this forum is very supportive.

Salenea- I checked out the site you recommended and I really loved it. There were a lot of links to other helpful sites. I appreciate your positive thoughts and great attitude. I'll keep you posted when I get my bfp. I have to wait 2 cycles before we can ttc but hopefully the time will go quickly.
Thanks again
