I just have to share this with someone! I am 36, have 3 kids ages 16, 9 and 7 with a MC between first and second. All we have ever used for "protection" is fertility awareness. It has always worked for us. About 8 mo ago, I realized my cycles were a bit weird and I had NO CM. In July I started charting my temps - never had to do that before - and I used OPKs for 3 mo, confirming that I was not ovulating. We have some "male factor" issues - low libido due to age and with the two together, well, like I said, our youngest is 7 years old.
Â
This mo, my chart is WAY different. But, I did have a cold, and we did just get a new bed (a king size water bed of all things - newborns aren't supposed to sleep on them are they?) so I could explain my "beautiful" chart temps away and surely there is no way I could really be pregnant? Is there? I took a HPT on what was apparently 13 dpo - it was neg, at first, later I looked at it and could see a faint pink line. Evap line, right? Have not had the nerve to test again. Sure have not said anything to DH yet. Two days late now and my temp was over 99 this morning - should be around 97.5.
Â
We have a couple of "issues". One, I am 36 and have recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and have arthritis in my hips. Dh is in his 60's!!!!! Not looking to start over at this point. Oh, and yeah, I just lost 20 lbs - finally back to close to where I want to be - just bought 2 pairs of new jeans. Kinda freaking out here. Don't get me wrong - if there is a baby in there, it is meant to be and I WANT him or her, just very nervous.
