TTC after 35

My hands are shaking. I think I'm KU.

My temp went up a tiny bit yesterday and a tiny bit today. I thought, "What the hell" and tested. I got a line. Darker than I ever got for my CP (and I took like 5 or 6 of them every 1-2 days after the first faint line).

I'm terrified it's going to be another CP, though. Should I get a beta today and see what it is and if it's low again (my first last time was like 13 or something) assume it's not going to last.

Or should I wait until Monday and see if I get a darker line over the weekend?

Re: My hands are shaking. I think I&#039;m KU.

  • I am cautiously excited for you!   I would say get thee to a doctor as soon as possible -- esp since if I remember correctly, you thought that early intervention might have helped prevent your cp (weren't you trying to get some prescription from the pharmacy and insurance wouldn't cover it and you were running around? -- maybe I am remembering wrong, though).  Regardless, wishing you really, really good luck!

  • Oh my goodness! I agree with Owl go to your dr and start progesterone suppositories as soon as possible since you suspect that would have made a difference last time. Hopefully you will have no issues getting that rx filled. Wish you were nearby I'd let you borrow some while you get it all sorted out.

    small hopeful and cautious squee of excitement for you!!!

  • I'm on the phone (on hold) with my RE's office right now. I'm hoping she can get me in to do the beta and get a prescription for the progesterone supps. I have a couple left, but not a lot...

  • Oh my goodness!  I'm crossing my fingers for you!  If it were me, I would wait until 14dpo for a beta, just because at 10dpo it will still be low, so not sure you can determine if it will be a chemical or not based on the number.  I just know that seeing a low number (even though it is probably on target for 10dpo) will cause me to worry.  Just my 2 cents.  I hope this is it for you!

  • I like to think I can play it cool, but who am I kidding? The RE's RN was still on the phone so I'm waiting for her to call me back. In the meantime, however, I have injected a progesterone supp, gotten dressed, and am now ready to zip off to the RE's office at a moment's notice.

    Seriously, I'm cool as a cucumber. NOT!

  • OMG! OMG! OMG!  So freaking excited for you.  I've been chart stalking you and was hoping that this was your month.  Keep us posted on the beta.
    Me 39 & suspected PCOS, DH 42. Went off BCP when we got married in 11/11, seriously TTC since 3/12.  Six cycles of clomid = BFNs.  Suspected endometriosis & HSG showed both tubes blocked.  Sept 2013 IVF 5D transfer of two perfect embryos = BFN.  Started acupuncture and taking time off to drop some pounds & get healthier before FET in April 2014.
  • Yay! I hope this is it for you! Good luck :)

    ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

    DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN  DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!

    Omg! I would get the progesterone stat just to be on the cautious side and wait for the beta, it will probably be low just based on your dpo and might cause you more stress than it's worth, though I know the waiting part is tough.

  • Just wanted to add that the avg beta at 10dpo is 15, so if you do decide to get a beta today, try not to freak out or stress if its low (unless you had an early implanter); it's the doubling and increasing that counts.  FX for you!

    You have to get out more, if you're dreaming of me! LOL

    Thanks, Ladies! I'll know the results of the beta by 3:15 this afternoon at the latest. So FX. I won't be really happy/breathing easy until I get a fantastic double, since my last time I was the slowest/worst doubler without going backwards. My first beta last time was a 13, so I'm hoping I'm higher than that this time just based on the HPT this morning.

    Of course, the RN asked me if the line showed up right away and I had to whine, "I don't know-- I had no real hopes for the test, so I hopped into the shower instead of watching it develop!"  Of all the times not to watch it obsessively...

IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great :)  EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!
