38 and TTC first baby, anyone else?

[Tui]

Hi hattie, I'm in the middle of those tests right now. Most back and all normal so far. Just waiting on karyotyping.

And yes cd1 is first day of full flow. Don't worry about it being light or short, as long as its regular it is fine my doc says.

 

[Left wonderin]

Yes lightness doesn't matter once there is 3 days of flow so I was told by my doc but then read 2 day so who knows . No testing here just yet ... My LO is only 6 months and only trying 2 cycles now , if no success in 6-8 months may think of it . But for me its all down to age I'd guess lol... I was blessed to get pg twice in 8 months at 40 .

Hattie, I would count as day 1 of AF too, even if very light.. I would also wonder why it's so light.. since one of my best friends had her period while she was pregnant, it took almost 3 months before she noticed she was actually pregnant.
Other than that, yep the fertility tests, must be a little weird to have them around.. but better soon than later for sure.. I'm supposed to call the doctor this cycle, but I decided to give it a last try. I'll call in October.
I hope you're right,and that this will be a lucky thread !

Mmm im wondering if ill have my egg reserve checked ?

hey girls. just as we have so many new people on this thread heres a quick update of where I'm at.
Turning 39 in two months. Been trying 11cycles now.
The papers for the fertitly clinic are on the table. (Weird I feel like I am cheating on a test if I fill them out) Anyone else out there feel like this?
Had inital blood test and hubby had his checks - all good. I now have to all the tests again as they want them on day 3 of my cycle. So waitin until I can do that.

Question my period is really light and last only a couple of days. I do get a little show a few days before that though. Do I start counting my cycle from the day it is a proper flow?

This is me! That's why I stopped filling out the fertility specialist paperwork and thought we'd wait the full year before going that route - definitely felt like we were cheating or something, esp since all tests have come back 'fair' or better! Only 8 cycles down, turning 39 in Dec.

and I asked that specific question of my OBGYN re: flow vs spotting - any flow, light or heavy, before noon is cd1 (she said 'technically before noon'), so if you start at night, then the next day is cd1.

Good luck to you, Hattie!

Hi ladies!

It's been a while since I have checked in and there is a lot going on around here! It's nice to see all the chatter and updates. It seems like there is a lot of positive energy in here right now, which is awesome.

It looks like everyone is still chugging away on the TTC train.

Hi no news here , AF still hasn't arrived !!! I'd be thrilled if it wasn't for the a t I've done 4 pg tests throughout my cycle all stark stark white !!!!!!!! Thinking I may not have ovulated this cycle so who knows when she is likley to show up !!

So anyone close to testing ??? I need some poas entertainment

 

[Tui]

3dpo here so it will be a few days till I can poas. Waiting patiently, not.

 

[Left wonderin]

Tui when do you start testing ? I try hold off but always fail miserably ! Well AF arrived bang on time 28 day cycle so my irregular temp taking must have trowm FF off onto a new cycle for me must order some more Opk

 

[lola33]

same here 3dpo... have to wait.. patiently..

 

[Wish2BMom]

oh no - I'm so sorry left!

can't wait for the poas results from you girls! I try really hard not to be an addict - I stick with the expensive ones and definitely wait until I'm late. Which barely ever happens, which is why I don't bother! I would just drive myself mental and like I need more of that!

Hi everyone! Sorry it has been so long. Moving to London has been so crazy. We have been dealing with a washing machine flood and bad landlords for the last three weeks. But happily it's over now.

No exciting news. We BDd on days 8,10,11,12,13,14 ... but then hubby got sick and stopped (but we were exhausted anyway...). I have no idea which day DPO i am in because I am not temping or doing sticks and I don't know when/if I ovulated. I have a feeling it was on the 14 though. So that would mean I am on 9DPO. I am having some blood. I was out and suddenly felt very weak and needed to come back home and rest. I kind of feel like before my period. But it's too early (only 23CD). Even though my period has been inconstant these past two cycles.

Of course I am hoping this is implantation bleeding, even though it kind of feels like my period. I will keep you ladies posted.

Keeping fingers crossed for everyone else too. Tui Lola. everyone who is in TWW.

Hi ladies, WOW this group has really exploded over the past few weeks. So many new ladies!! I too am loving this positive vibe here!! Always picks me up when I pop on here. I'm just eagerly awaiting our first baby of this group!! I'm sure there will be a group of BFP before long!
A few bits of news here -
TTC - no sign of AF as yet. I was expecting her yesterday or today some time so tested this evening and still BFN - which I'm fine with as we aren't officially TTCing at the mo. More just NTNP till after the move.
Yes the move - looks like we are about to complete the sale of our house. So looks like we will move in with In laws for a few weeks.(that would make for interesting TTCing!! HAHA) Really hoping to move into our new house before the start of November. (as DD's 2nd birthday is Nov 11th!)
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Will probably start 8dpo, lol. I have no patience.

 

[Stenokat]

arrived for me, but it was the strangest period I've ever had. Day one was heavier than normal, as I usually only spot the first day. Day two was like a horror film. Now I'm at day three and just spotting. I've always had periods that are around six days. Also, I always cramp bad during AF, and this time I've had zero cramping. Oh, the joys of being female.

 

[gonimi]

Keeping fingers crossed Tui...

I am also keeping them crossed for me even though I am not very hopeful for some reason. I have had a tiny little bit of blood for the past four days. I have been expecting it would develop into a full blown early AF but it hasn't yet. Sore boobs and back pain, but kind of feels like early period. Today I was expecting to see flow, but instead got brown spots and now nothing. It's hard not to home it's IB but somehow I think it won't be (or maybe I don't want to get too disappointed). I will not test though.

 

[lola33]

hi girls ! Sorry AF got some of you...
Tui I guess it's time to test very soon ! I'm waiting one more week... I have absolutely NO symptoms..
Glad to see some of you are back !!

 

[Left wonderin]

Well I had a very weird AF one day full flow then brown string !!! Bought cq 10 I'm gonna take it between AF and OV hoping it improves egg quality

 

[Tui]

7dpo today. I'll be testing from tomorrow but I'm not going to get stressed out about it. I'm in a happy place this month.

Left, stenokat, sorry you are having funny cycles. You too gonimi. Think you should all test just to rule it out

Sorry you are having accommodation troubles too gonimi. Landlords can be a nightmare. How long are you staying?

Good luck lola. Anyone else near to testing?
