Hey all! Although ttc over 35 has stress on its own, i think for us without a child it can be extremely overwhelming at times. Lets all support eachother!

Spoiler Info! Please see below for information on how to spoiler a post or attachment (this is to make sure that those who wish to read, can, and those who wish to avoid any possibly upsetting PG news can avoid). Thank you Pebbs, for this!

There are two ways to spoiler text.
The first is to use the spoiler tool from the toolbar (click on images to make them bigger):
Click image for larger version Name: Spoiler icon.jpg Views: 2 Size: 16.9 KB ID: 617899
All you do is highlight the text and click on that button. You may need to click on "Go advanced" to be able to see the toolbar.

The second is to simply write the following before and after your text:
[*spoiler] YOUR TEXT HERE [*/spoiler]
But! You have to remove the asterisks.

To spoiler an image
There are two things you can do:
First, use an image hosting site, like Flickr or Photobucket, and put the link in spoilers as if it were text.

If you are using BnB's attach function (the little paperclip), it's a teensy bit more complicated, but still easy (recent discovery! ).
Step 1. Attach the image with the paperclip, then click "Preview post."
Step 2. Mouse over the image, and you should see a number. Here's me mousing over the image I attached above:
Click image for larger version Name: Spoiler2.jpg Views: 2 Size: 18.5 KB ID: 617901
It's hard to see the number in that little box that pops up, but if you squint you'll see that it says "617899" on the last line. That's the number for your particular attachment.
Step 3: Write your code. So, combine all this. Substitute your number in the following line of text:
[*spoiler][*attach]617899[*/attach][*/spoiler]
Again, remove the asterisks.

Hope this thread sticks! I'm 38 (soon to be 39) and ttc #1. I started last summer after coming off birth control which I had been on since age 21. Since then I've had one miscarriage and one chemical pregnancy. My obgyn thinks I'll be fine but I panic every month!
More importantly I notice that your picture is of a long-haired dachshund! I have 2 short haired - Maxxi and Niko (hence my screen name). If I could figure out how to make them my screen picture I would. Maxxi will be 13 in the fall and Niko just turned 15. They're doing really well for their ages. I'm obsessed with the breed!!

Hey Max! I too have suffered two losses and every month that goes by is like a stab in the heart when AF arrives... Im sure this thread will stick as unfortunetely there are quite a few of us in the same boat...
The photo is of my lovely dog Popi, who actually is of unknown breed!!! I rescued her off the street when she was 1 month old. 2 years later and everyone who see her guesses what breed are in her!! Its really funny actually!!!!

Hiya Girls!

Hope you dont mind me sticking my nose in !!

Just wanted to say....i'd have LOVED this section of the forum when i was TTC !!!

I'm 37....we were TTC for our 1st for exactly a year.....got our BFP boxing day and are now in third trimester section !

Just wanted to say....good luck to you all......

Congratulations

Congratz hun!
Just got our first sucess story girls! Lets keep strong and hopefully soon it will be our turn!

Count me in. I'm 35 TTC. My DH is 46...I have a daughter already through adoption, but this will be our first pregnancy. (if it ever happens) We've been really trying since January.. ugh. It is like a stab in the heart every month when AF comes a calling. It's hard being older, I never thought it would take this long!

Hello!

I'm 36 and TCC, had 2 losses already this year and just about ready to start trying again! keeping my fingers crossed for 3rd time lucky Lets hope we all move on to the first trimester forum very soon xx

How funny! She's got a doxi face. She how crazy I get over the breed? AF came for me today and even though I had no reason to think otherwise it's still upsetting. I drove myself crazy every month symptom spotting and testing early and am not planning on doing that anymore. No point. I'm glad the thread will stick!
