Anyone TTC #1 and 30 or older?

[ireadyermind]

Thanks, Xokittycatxo! Temp dropped pretty steeply today so I'm not feeling too optimistic, unfortunately. It's still not below cover, so I'm still in as long as AF doesn't show in two days!

Thanks Kitty!!

Hopefully it's a temporary drop ireadyermind!

My temp shot up today, but still a bfn, and my temp doesn't always drop before AF (sometimes it doesn't drop until the day after AF shows) so I'm still in limbo.

If it makes you feel any better, I do the same thing with giving DH updates He gets a bit confused as well

[KatO79]

Thanks guys

Umm I was so surprised and excited that I forgot to ask her She said it looked really good though so assuming it was a good number They'll be sending me some papers and what day I need to come in for my 8 week scan - if everything looks good at the scan, they discharge me and I go over to my GP. My arrogant GP that I can't stand Oh well, hopefully I won't need him much before we move in mid-April where we'll automatically get another GP.

13dpo. Cramping and spotting. AF will be here by tonight or tomorrow I'm sure. :/
At least my LP is now ~13 days and not 9-10.

I'm so excited for you Kat!!!

Sorry AF is coming Angel but great news on your LP being extended. FXed your BFP is soon on it's way, preferably next cycle

Thanks cutestuff Here's hoping it really is my super sticky BFP! I don't think I'll fully relax (or close to it) until I've hit the 12 week mark. Although I think I'll be more relaxed after my 8 week scan in about 4 weeks, providing everything looks good.

So I'm officially contraception free. My IUD is officially out. Not bad at all actually. My doctor asked me to use protection until I get my first cycle. I'm starting my prenatals today (thank goodness they have omega in them) and he's going to check my thyroid as well. He asked me to stay away frm high mercury fish, lunch meat, raw meat, and unpasteurized cheese and milk.


He is not putting me on iron until they do blood work and told me I don't need the extra calcium/magnesium vitamin either.

FXed you get regular cycles very quickly Sounds about right with those recommendation, that's pretty much what I've been doing since I started TTCing (although meat is no problem for me since I've been a pescetarian since 2012).

I'm assuming your prenatals have Folic Acid in them? Very important since it prevents neural defects.

Thanks.
They actually have folate.. I have MTHFR so I cant do folic acid.

Kat I was the same. Those first 4 weeks are the worst. I personally experienced some spotting so to see the baby with good blood flow and a flickering heart was amazing. You can't hear the heart beat till 12 weeks but I will say it is so cool. The anxiety will stay but will change as you progress. Feel free to ask questions if you have them.

Kat - OMG! I was sooooo happy to read about your BFP Huge congrats!!! How are you feeling? How did you tell DH and how did he react?
