40+ ttc progesterone (one child, 3 losses)

Hi all! My husband and I have been TTC for over 3 years now. We started trying 2-3 yrs ago and got preg 3 times, but lost in first trimester each time. We took a year off and started trying again 8 months ago, but I haven't gotten preg yet. I'm 41 and, yes, I do ovulate. I have had ultrasounds to make sure everything looks good. I have a 23 yr old, so I know I can carry a baby. I'm currently taking femara and oral progesterone. Is it normal to spot or have pink to blackish discharge on progesterone? It makes it difficult for me to know when the actual start of my period is. Also, if I sleep flat on my back anytime during the week before my period, I will get backaches and spot red. Does anyone else do this? It turns black and diminishes away after I get up and move around.

    Are you being treated by an RE? At our age, it's important not to lose any time! You will want them to do a full work up to rule out any uterine defects, endo, fibroids, anything like that which could be interfering with your ability to conceive. The work up should include blood work, and an SHG at minimum. 

    Are you being monitored on the femara? They should be doing a baseline ultrasound at the beginning of your cycle and then 1 or 2 more to tell you when to have timed intercourse and make sure you are reacting appropriately to the medication. 

    Good luck! I conceived my DS naturally at 39 and I have low ovarian reserve so anything is possible! Now at 40, we're working on #2!
