swayers over 35 buddy group

[KraizyDaizy]

KraizyDaizy - If you don't mind, could you please explain why you are taking Clomid? Is it because your cycles weren't regular?

I do not mind at all and would love to hear feedback on me using it. My LH is in the 8 and below range and I am having breakthrough spotting during my cycles. My cycles vary from very short to very long and my OB said I am not Oing, so hence the Clomid. One of my recent LP was just 8 days, so I am hoping the Clomid will help with this? Is that a good reason? I also have a small fibroid that might be causing some of the anemia.

Hi everyone,
Good to see some action on the swayers over 35 board!
I think I am cd 7 and I hope to o on Valentines Day but it looks more like it is going to be sooner.
For some reason I o on ced 12 or 14 or sometime in between. I wish it was more obvious and I could just relax and dtd with no question.

Good question for kd...does clomid help uterine lining?
I used it in the past bc I did not ovulate.
I have read a lot about accupuncture and I would like to try it but I have not had a lot of time lately.
Also, it is a lot of money and I do not have a lot of coverage for naturopathic medicine.
It might be something for those of us over 35 to try!!!

ilundgirl, 3 months is not bad...and really it might have been part of the process of trying again,...no regrets!
iilundgirl and my girl, I had a 26 day cycle and I ovulated on cd 12...same thing!
Were you like that before? Or, was it bc of vitex?

kd...what are you doing on the computer...lol!

HOPE!!! how are you?
What are you eating? Are you doing a diet? How are the kids???

GL everyone!

I am not sure of that. I think it thins and that is why you cannot use it for very long. Was going to use baby aspirin but never got it, and that is supposed to make the lining fluffy or something like that better to implant in?

kd...what are you doing on the computer...lol!

I am obsessed I guess LOL! I am trying to get the kids to bed, but had to check on last time LOL!!

Lemon - I'm on D6, and also expected to O around the 12th. Yay, we are on similar cycles! My cycle used to be 27 days when I had DS1 (I was 34). Around 36, they started getting shorter to 24-25 days and stayed shorter after DS2. I never took vitex.

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?

Yeah not sure why skip the 4th day i suspect it is because it will be 4 days after a pos O test you dont need to anymore,and the next one is just in case?
Im on Cd 7 and my last day of clomid so i think we will be trying this weekend or sooner,im going to throw in 2x a day though after a posO test this time though after realizing i have a hostile enviroment
And thanxs Aurora me tooxxxx

Hi Lemon! Clomid doesn't help your lining actually it can hurt your lining by making it too thin. Which is why you can pnly be on it time limited.
I am doing well. Yes I am doing the LE diet very strict 1200 calories a day. I truly believe it is the most important part of the sway! Hope your doing well. Whats happening with you.

HopeandDreamG - I'm not doing the diet. My ph is 4.0-4.5 naturally. I actually never did the diet because I eat more girl naturally so I did a very half-ass sway. Honestly, my gut feeling is that it's pretty much a 50/50 shot each time and after testing my husbands sperm which was off the chart (over 9ph) I think if we conceive it will more likely be a 3rd boy unless he was willing to do the diet, which he isn't. So, I very loosely swayed for 3 months - timing O+12, rephresh, crystal light, skipping breakfast, etc. Then I decided at 40 yrs old, that I don't have the luxury of time to spend precious months swaying for a girl, so after 3 months I stopped swaying completely - because that 3rd month I had a chemical pregnancy. At this point, I'm just trying to get pregnant, and so I'm taking a prenatal vitamin to help have a healthy pregnancy that sticks

Just my 2 cents you can take it or leave it. The diet is not only about PH. Ph may or may not even sway- It's about making your body think that times are tough and that the maternal condition is poor. It gives your body a chance to conceive a girl bc they require less calories from conception to birth and throughout adulthood. DH's diet is not important the way DW's is. It is possible the reason you are not getting preggo is the 0+ timing. For us, "mature mommas" the egg is most likely dead by 0+. Your better off dtd before and during O and doing the diet. The recent research shows more girls born from DTD on O day! Again just my 2 cents, and there are some great threads on here all about the maternal condition and timing (including why not to do 0+ over 35). These are the sway factors that are actually backed by research!

Good luck whatever you decide!!

Well its CD15, this am another +digital and internet OPK, my CB monitor says PEAK and my temp dropped to 97.73, so I guess I am Oing today maybe. I felt right ovary pains last night though, so maybe that is a good sign. We are DTD full speed now LOL!!!!

Oh sis40, are you late or early testing? It is always so nerve racking trying to see a line or a hint of one.
