April 11, 2019 at 4:28 amThank you froglet! Did the IUI two days ago. And today my temp went up a little... Trying to keep the anticipation (hope) in reality. One day at a time. God willing, we'll see.

Sending lots of good wishes

May 17, 2019 at 3:58 amAfter 4 years of trying, we got pregnant with IVF and I was 41 when I gave birth to a happy, healthy boy. I have just started using this again now as we have started trying again (he is a year old now.).

Wishing you all the best for your efforts. I had a few triphasic temp charts in the last few months of trying (having taken multivits and bit D and got my husband to improve his sperm health!) - fingers crossed this is a positive sign for you MommaIhope2B.x

May 17, 2019 at 5:28 amHi acowham, thank you for sharing! So happy for you! All the best with your journey this time. We're in the 2nd cycle of IUI. I'm taking progesterone for second part of the cycle. In the 2wk wait right now. Temps are up but I'm also medicated so hard to tell. I don't have any other symptoms of pregnancy, but staying optimistic. I wish you all the best in your ivf. We're doing that next if this doesn't work.

Sending love and prayers that we all have miracles!

Sending lots of good wishes

May 21, 2019 at 12:02 amThanks MommaIhope2B, I didn’t measure my temp when I was going through ivf as I didn’t know how to interpret it, but I’m hoping your chart is a positive sign. Thinking of you over the next few days!

May 21, 2019 at 5:43 amThank you for thinking of me, acowham! Well I took pregnancy test 3 days in a row and definitely negative. I guess I stop this progesterone. At least I may recover my personality from the hormone overload. Oh well... We'll probably move to ivf now.

The cost v. likelihood is better with a donor.

The grief comes in waves, but overtime it's less sharp and less intense.

I'm ok today though. I pretty much knew I had no pregnancy symptoms aside from high temps.

Keeping hope alive for a baby.

Sending lots of good wishes

May 21, 2019 at 12:41 pmI’m so sorry to hear that. It is a difficult road to go down and so emotional.

You are right about donor eggs. A friend of mine was given amazing chances of conceiving with a donor due to the age of the donor only being 20. She had a lovely baby boy, who is now 15mo. Not having to go through the emotional and painful process of egg retrieval must make an amazing difference too.

All the best with whatever you decide.

September 20, 2019 at 4:33 pmHi Stacy, thank you for the post! We're leaving our insurance, because the cost even with it, and the wait for a donor has been long. I'm working with a person in the US who went to Czechia for successful IVF. It's 1/10th the cost if here where I am.

Best of luck to you!! Let me know how it goes. This weekend I get ultrasound to check my uterine lining to see if I responded to the trial of estrogen.

Praying that I get the right numbers to move forward...

Lots of baby dust to you!!

Sending lots of good wishes

October 12, 2019 at 3:24 amHiya... I am 44 and my period is now 3 weeks late... i am not charting and usually have 30-32 day cycles... I am now on day 51... got 3 negative pregnancy tests but feel really strange... getting quite tired earlier in the day than usual and have had some aches along the way... not sure what to do as it could be just hormone changes as im nearly 45 but I worry a little there is something going on... last time I was pregnant I was told at the hospital as I was seeing them for unexplained infertility.... so this is the first time I have been testing for pregnancy myself... anyone experienced anything similar.... wondering whether to go see doc

October 12, 2019 at 6:12 pmHi Webb_k,

Sorry you are going through this. Yes i had similar strange body feelings but my periods were all over the place the last 4 years. I was told I hit menopause this year at 44years. With all the irregular periods I had a lot of body changes. My estrogen levels were wildly irregular, and apparently that is normal during perimenopause. But... I do think talking with a doctor is a good idea. Even if it is perimenopause it could be a lot of other things too. Not to worry. It sounds similar to the wacky reality of the forties for me.

Best of luck. I'm still trying to get pregnant despite all that!! Keeping the faith for all of us.

Sending lots of good wishes
