30-Somethings TTC#1

[SquirrelGirl]

I didn't feel quite right not saying hi to everyone individually!

hi ladies well congratulaions this thread seems to be very bfp high, please can i join but i have been trying for 4 years but am 32 so half fit in, just taken my first soy try but day seven an feel really ill not sure if its soy or not.

Hiya imogen. I only had little headaches each day I took soy. No other side effects. But everyone is different. What do you mean by Day 7? You should only be taking it for 5 days (exactly like Clomid). Usually CD3-7, but others do 2-6, or 4-8 or 5-9.... There's a good soy thread around here somewhere... If you'd like, let me know and I can get you the URL to it.

Hi everyone just joined today. Came off pill last week so am waiting for a full cycle before trying properly - not that we can't practice in the meantime I'm 34 and TTC No. 1 so not a spring chicken exactly but mum had me when she was 40 so lets hope it runs in family!!
One thing I can't get is all the abbreviations on this site - v confusing for a newbie!!

Welcome and Good Luck Conina! Yep, lots of abbreviations, but feel free to ask for any help and check out the link Waiting provided. You'll catch on faster than you'd think possible!

Hey Ladies

Can I join you please? Am a newbie to B&B and very pleased to be part of such a supportive, friendly group of ladies. I am 31, been ttc since October. I have been reading the thread - lots of BFPs! Hopefully its a lucky thread and will bring us our BFP soon!

xx

Very happy to have you join us! BnB is really great. I had tried another site and it was just a group of people putting down the newbies who had questions. I hated it! I have never once seen anything like that on BnB. It's soooo reassuring to have this place to come and discuss things we'd never imagine saying out loud!!

Hello girls can I join please? I'm not officially ttc #1 but it has been a long, long time since I got preggo last time (15 years!) so in a way I'm new to all of this (I feel preg with my DS at 17)
I'm now 31 and been ttc since May with my DF who is 28.

I'm currently 7dpo and due af on the 4th August, but I'm hoping it doesn't show!

Anyway.... Hope you'll have me

Definitely, Gemie! Please join us! I'll put your date down on the front page. If anyone else wants a date on the first post, let me know. But no pressure. I myself have decided it just makes me crazy and want to test early! If anything, I think we need to be helping each other test LATER!

Hi all, can I join you? I'm 31 and DH is 37... we've been together for 10 years wacko: ) and married for 5 - we just started TTC this week after I came off the pill around a fortnight ago... Therefore I have no idea where I am in my cycle really... so just as much as possible in the hope... I'm also keeping notes on cm, etc and doing an OPK every other day to try and suss out where I am... so that if I'm not lucky enough to get a very quick BFP , I'll have a better idea where I am next cycle... Well, that's if AF arrives and my body gets back to normal - I've read so many stories on here about it taking ages, it's a bit worrying!!!!
So glad I just found this thread - I started a similar thread on WTT myself - the OAP club and I've not found anywhere else to 'hang out' since so I keep ending up back there... so lovely to meet you girls... And it seems a very lucky thread so fingers crossed for us all... Babydust to everyone...

Try not to worry, Caroline! It may take a couple cycles for your body to go back to normal after the BCP, but I'm sure it will happen for you! This is an extremely lucky thread, so I'm quite certain we'll all be moving on before you know it!!

Hope I got everyone! If I missed anyone, I'm sorry!!

Here's the link to the Soy Thread:

https://www.babyandbump.com/ttc-buddies/179679-any-soy-ladies-out-there.html

Please do NOT take soy, or any supplement for that matter, without doing your own research! What may work miracles for one may not work for you!

 

[imogenwanted]

Hi squirrel girl,i did take it from 1-5 as my cycle has gone fron 31.35.45.19.19 so not sure if it will work as cycle seems to be really short.

 

[SquirrelGirl]

oh, ok! You just worried me there for a second that maybe you'd taken it for 7 days! Check out that thread, and ladies who have taken soy longer than I have should be able to help with any questions about side effects or anything else!

Parkgirl - congrats!!!! I think this one will stick!!! I'm doing ok. I'm not really ttc at the moment. I don't see a point until after my appt this week.

Waiting - my cycles suck and hopefully I'll get some answers at my appt this week. I'm a little bit tired of working so hard at this so I'm ok with not ttc at the moment. I hope this is your month. How far and often do you run? I was getting paranoid about running there for a bit thinking maybe it was affecting my ttc but clearly I have bigger problems than that! I run close to 5 miles a few times a week.

Squirrel - I tried your suggestion about resetting the monitor and of course it didn't work!! It's ok though since I'm not ttc this month. This thread turned out to be completely lucky didn't it?!? I hope you don't have a repeat of that cycle either. It's such a painful thing to think you're pg and then not be. I know your time is any month now though!

Purple - hi and

Hi to all the new people!!

I think AF is on it's way, I have slight cramps today but nothing major yet but just have the feeling she will be with me soon. Oh well onto cycle 15 and more meds, monitoring and huge doctors bills. Wish it would just happen as I am getting fed up of feeling like a science experiment.


I have to keep believing that my time is just around the corner, it's the only thing that keeps me sane. Really hope that we all get our BFP very soon

 

[JJay]

Wow we've been popular! :wave: Welcome Caroline, Gemie, Nora-Jo, imogen and Conina!

Purplerain, sorry you're going through a tough time.

CaroleB, it's not over until AF shows. It's hard cycle after cycle but keep positive I'm sure we will all be part of the summer or fall BFP explosions. Let's make a pact to all get our BFPs by Christmas

Hi Maxxi, hope you're ok. FXed your appointment goes well this week.

Thanks for all the soy info Squirrel, shame I missed my slot this month. I'm trying to go on a health kick as my weight has crept up over 25BMI so I'm determined to get back to the healthy range + cutting right back on alcohol and exercising 4 times a week. I'll be boring but healthy ready for September

Just wanted to drop in and say hi to my favourite 30-something ladies!

Am so happy to see how lucky this thread has become and I hope (in fact, I KNOW) that this luck is going to spread to everyone in here very very soon!

Squirrel, you are rockin' it - I knew you were the perfect person to take over

Wishing you all the very best xxxx

 

[SquirrelGirl]

JJay, if you'd like my journal is all about trying to get in shape. We try to keep each other going and working out. A few of us have even joined Livestrong.com where you can track our food and workouts. If you're interested, pop by my journal!

Anyone is welcome! The more we help each other stay on track, the better off we'll all be!

I know how you feel. I know AF is on her way too. This month makes 1 year TTC for us. I've just done my third cycle of clomid, and we are waiting for a follow up apt for DH with a urologist Sept. 2. My Dr. won't see me again until after that. I think I am going to try soy this cycle. Has anyone on here used it? What were your experiences with it?

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

I just tried soy for the first time this cycle. So far LOOOOOVE IT. I O'd way earlier than usual (CD13). Though I did start crying when the tv wouldn't tune into the channel for my Monday night show! We have an antenna, not cable. Hubby got up on the roof and moved the antenna for me! AWWWW, how sweet! But I have no idea why I cried like that! I'm only 1 DPO! It's going to be a ROUGH couple of weeks!!

A few posts ago on this thread, I posted a link to a thread about soy. Definitely check that out.

Well AF has arrived for me today so I am now started cycle 15 of TTC but on the positive side I only have 10 or 11 days until I O and another chance of a BFP. Start taking the Femara again tomorrow for 5 days.

Docs booked for tomorrow for a scan and then will be back again on CD10 for final scan to check my follies and most probably a trigger shot. The joys of TTC, there are days when I feel like a science experiment.

Squirrel Girl sending you loads of for your TWW, they really are a form of torture. Hope that it is not too tough and you get a BFP at the end.

Aww, so sorry Carole. Good luck with the Femara and potential trigger shot.

Hi ladies. Just stopping in to see how everyone is doing and to spread some I think this Fall BFP Free-for-all is going to be a big one.

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Hiya Park! How ya doing?? Hope you're feeling well!

We just added one more to the July Stats! Congrats to HCB! EIGHT BFPs in July, it's absolutely crazy!

 

[maxxiandniko]

Hi everyone. Hope you're all having a good day. Tomorrow's my appt with the fertility specialist. I'm thinking I won't get any real answers and that'll it'll be a few months before I do but at least I'm on my way.

When do you go to your appointment this week?
My running has not been as much as I would like at the moment. I was so much fitter last year and did a half marathon, but now its 3 miles a couple of times a week.

Carole - sorry arrived but liking your pma!


Squirrell - how are you doing?

 

[Waitng4Baby#1]

Well Im out this month. AF arrived 6 days early this morning and shocked the hell out of me! I think I had a 25 day cycle or something which must be a kind of record for me.

Disappointed but we decided if this month wasnt out month we were going to go to the doctor given we're on to cycle 11 now and appointment booked for next wednesday. Hopefully will refer us to the fertility clinic which could take 6-8 weeks for an appointment. Dying to know if there is a problem with one of us but at the same time not sure if I really want to know!

Squirrell can you put me down for 3rd September please?
