swayers over 35 buddy group

Lemon2012 -- I'm with you, no more swaying for me either....I feel like such an idiot, bec at 34 & 36 I got pregnant first month without even trying, so I guess I assumed it would happen pretty easily at 40. NOT! I'm not wasting one more month...now I just want a BFP that will stick (healthy)!

Also, have any of you ever heard about using baby aspirin to help with fertility for us older mommas? I found some threads about it on some fertility boards...and since I had a chemical pregnancy in Jan, I was thinking maybe of trying it this cycle to help with implantation?

I have seen my doctor and I have an ultrasound scheduled as I have such major o pain...maybe there are cysts interfering. Otherwise, no more swaying for me!
Just plain out see if I can!

Hope...it feels like a long time still...how are you? 19 days? what is your plan?

mocha? how are things going down the highway? NIce and mild at least! However, it feels weird not to have much snow to play with!

Hi sweet sister!
Why skip the 4th night then d t d again?
Not sure I understand.
We are trying every other day the every day close to o....I think.
I am so busy with work right now!

What day are you on?

Hi everyone,

Haven't checking in for a while. On month 21! I hear what you are saying about not swaying anymore.....sometimes you just gotta work to get pg as quickly as possible.....but I remember reading that us older moms have a higher chance of having a girl anyway, so you have that in your favor for you girl swayers! I have done the SMEP plan before, I think it is a good system. Ask me if you have any questions!

Ilindgirl, I think that sounds like a good plan...and I'd def use baby asprin, as it really does help lower ph and it dried me up! I had like barely any EWCM (and I usually make a ton of it), and I took it for a while to help with implanation. I think it's great and cheap and i'd surely use it....good way to help sway girl some too, still! I still think your age is for you, being that more older mommas get girls, it seems like!

Lemon, I definitely feel this is a girl, I have dreams all the time that the baby is a girl, but I'm not sure if it's really my intution talking or if it's just desire that's blinding me. Only time will tell!

I hope you get preggers this cycle Lemon & sweetsister!

Hi girls,

Well I have been on the LE diet for 1 week now. The food choices are really not that hard, I just hate feeling hungry all the time. I plan to be on the LE diet all of Feb. and March before my first attempt. I have 25 day cycles with O usually on day 12 so I have calculated out a first attempt for March 30/31. I am on CD 6 today.

I have started Vitex and Saw Palmetto... I really hope the Vitex doesn't lengthen my cycles! I like having 25-day cycles b/c I can get in more tries this year! I think if I don't get PG this year I may not try further. Also DH has been taking SP for a couple months now for prostate health (he is a cyclist and spends many hours each week sitting on a tiny bike seat). We have both noticed a marked decrease in his sex drive (He usually wants it all the time, lol). I hope this will sway for us, because I am not going to give him Licorice Root.

ALSO - have any of you heard of/tried COq10 for fertility/improving egg quality? I have been trolling the 'net to find natural ways to increase fertility, and this is supposed to be helpful. I am taking it, although I don't know if it sways blue. I also read doing 300 jumping jacks before O helps increase blood flow to the ovaries/uterus.

Finally - I plan on getting acupuncture starting March 1 for fertility. Anyone else try it?

My BD plan is for DH to release each day until pos. OPK, then DTD as much as possible once I get a pos. OPK. I'm hoping to catch O-1 and O day.

Lemon - how long have you been trying? GL on your ultrasound! FX that everything is A-OK :)

IlindGirl - I have heard that baby aspirin helps make the uterine lining nice and fluffy. Plus it sways girl... so I am going to use it!

Hi ladies, just trying to catch on this thread that I thought I was subscribed to but must not have been, 'cause I just stumbled across it again. I hope I can join the group or rejoin LOL! I am 37 and DH is 40. We have 4 sons.


I am not swaying very hard anymore. Its been over a 1 1/2 ttc and at this point, I am starting to feel like me and my DH are just too old and that getting pregnant is more important. If you can't get pregnant there is no chance of my pink dream. I am on Clomid this month and we are DTD straight through O. I have used SYLK the first couple times, then found out it best not to use anything on Clomid, so I have stopped that too. I just want a baby. Miss taking care of a tiny baby so badly. I hope all is well with everyone. I hope I can join the group or rejoin LOL!

Hi everyone. I've been following all of your posts. It really does stink ttc over 35! However, my last two babies were born in 09' and 10', I was 37 and 39, so not impossible ( both boys). I'll be 41 in April and dh will be 42 in September. ttc a baby girl right now. Feel pregnant in every way possible this cycle (just coming off chemical mc) but every test calls me out as crazy wrong! So upsetting. I have a couple of questions and I think you are the perfect girls to help answer them.

1. Does your dh have any trouble releasing everyday? I have 34 day cycles so releasing starting at the end of AF was very stressful in the end. I had him on LR but being 41 made FR almost impossible on it so I stopped having him take it. Also does the amount of emission ever worry you? Towards the end as I believe I O'd very late there was very little to get me pg!!

2. I could never properly ck my ph. I never had enough CM. I'm on baby aspirin and Rephresh every 3 days but that's it. Did the diet make me too dry? We had to use Sylk or dtd would have never happened.

3. How much weight loss do you think will stop ovulation? I'm 5'7" and got down to 106. I think lower may reduce my fertility especially at 40. Plus it ages you when too much weight is lost......who wants that???!!!

We're doing FR with lots of bd from about a week before I expect O right on through. Any advice is welcome and needed!!
Thanks

sis40, I am no swaying expert, but my DH does have trouble with the FR and the amount of his sample does seem to be affected. I feel my DH is under way too much stress to perform sometimes and it makes me sad for him. I think he feels less of a man when he cannot or it takes way too long to DTD.

KD, I know exactly what you are talking about. Dh actually says "this is too much pressure" which in turn raises my stress level and probably sways blue!! I know it's my fault because I'm on a mission to get pg so romance isn't even part of the equation. Ugh.....I really liked the idea of the Licorice Root but he just couldn't do both. Do I add LR back in and then do compressed FR at +opk?
