Hello Ladies!!
Maybe you could add me to your role call. I am 43 (43 and 4 months!) and I too have had the Dr's tell me fat chance as my FSH is high as well. I would just like to point out that a high FSH is the bodies way of stimulating the ovaries to produce a viable egg when a lower level of FSH isn't working! In a nutshell, our bodies seem to know more than the doctors about how to compensate when our ovaries are not working quite as well as they did when we were younger. The reason that FSH testing became such a marker was for IVF. So maybe, just maybe, our bodies know what their doing more than the Dr's. I agree that as long as we are having periods, there are still eggs to be had!
I have been TTC #1 for about 4 months now and am feeling a bit depressed about the whole thing, but reading all your posts does help lift me up. Why did I wait??? I have a little saying "marry who you want, but be very careful who you have children with". Until a year ago, when I started dating my DH to be (as of Valentine's Day), I had not been with anyone who I thought would be a great father. Now.... sometimes I feel like I'm being punished for being responsible, but I must not give up hope that it will happen for us. DH to be, also has no children for much the same reason.
Anyway, I don't know if I'm in the TTW or not. Temps are being kind of strange this month. Funny enough, I think I may have ovulated on Valentines Day. Maybe God will make conception day the same day that DH to be proposed!! Wouldn't that be great!
I'm so glad all you ladies are here and I wish all of us BFP's this year!!
Wow Sherri, I'm sorry that your going thru this;(
Well, today I'm 16DPO & pretty sure it's a BFN. I took a test on Monday @ 14DPO, & haven't gone in to do b/w because we've been so busy! I might call today, cuz (bad me!) I stopped my prog. on Sun. & am using prog. cream 2x's per day JUST IN CASE........
But I've takes 2 HPT's this weekend, so I'm pretty sure I'm out. The only weird thing is, the feeling of AF coming, comes & goes, & my temps are still up. Really, I SHOULD start today, my LP is usually 16 days LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, that's me;)
Hope everyone has a great day;) Life is crazy, we don't always understand why things happen the way they do.........
Thanks so much, Alice! Your kind words do help alot! Both you and Savanha! It's sinking in a little bit now for me, like my body is mourning the loss. I think I'll be ok tomorrow. But today is pretty shot.
Thanks again! We're all gonna get thru this! Have to keep the faith! :)
Hi, Sherri - I just signed on to talk about doing my trigger injection, and saw your update. I want to thank you again for giving us all such strong encouragement, and I hope you're able to give some of that positivity and encouragement to yourself as well. And hang in there. If you're ovulating, and can get a pregnancy started, you can focus on bringing all the right factors together to keep the right egg going.
I vaguely remember having weird cramps with Prometrium, way back last IVF. I wish I had kept a journal at the time, because I can't recall precisely how it all went. In any case, I really admire that you get back up and keep going.
As for my update, I did the trigger shot at 8:30 pm, which much less panic about doing an intramuscular shot than I thought I would have. Last time I was on a much longer cycle of medications and I think it was every 2 or 3 days that I had to do an intramuscular shot, and I couldn't do it without help. This time, I realised that a lot of my anxiety was that I was afraid of doing it in the wrong place and that I'd somehow damage myself or make the injection worthless, but the nurse drew a circle on my derriere exactly where it was supposed to go. I had to take a few deep breaths to psych myself up, but I thought about the goal, and (surprisingly) it didn't even hurt. Maybe I'm too well padded back there. I hope there's at least a muscle under the padding.
I can't believe this. Suddenly I started bleeding this afternoon for about 15 minutes and having cramping. If I was pregnant for a couple of days, I guess I'm not any more. Here's what happened. Last Thursday night, I started having very severe cramps. I called on Friday and left a message for the nurse. She didn't call me back and Mon was a holiday.
So on Saturday when I had the cramps again, I decided to stop Prometrium until I could speak to the dr, because the cramps started exactly when I started the Prometrium. My doctor said yesterday that no way were the cramps related to the Prometrium and to get back on it asap. But I guess it was too late. Missed it for almost whole 3 days.
Since I've had 4 chemical pregnancies before, I can really tell when I'm pregnant and when I'm not. And I feel like I was pregnant up until lunchtime today but now I'm not any more. I can't wait to get back to the RE and figure all this out. There must be a way for me to conceive and not have it end after a few days.
I'm going to try to take my own advice and hang in there! I'm not ever giving up! I am definitely still ovulating so some day, I will have a viable pregnancy.

I just got goosebumps, because as I was posting, I updated your info and today is 7dpo. I went back to check your last post & you said that you had light bleeding/pink @6dpo. The info that I've read about implantation says it starts 7dpo, but someone posted on another thread that it starts at 6dpo. Either way, it really sounds like a good sign.
However, I wouldn't test until 12days after, unless you just need to, but that you keep in mind that it might still be too early to test.
RSSBD To You Lady!
