Anyone TTC #1 and 30 or older?

[star_e]

I think your mum is absolutely right about progesterone. At least for me it makes me really down. Today I'm feeling a bit better but it seems to hit me the worst in the evening. So we shall see. Thanks for the film recommendation!

As for tempinpnin terms of acceptable ranges one day will be very early and the other days will be 1 to 1.5 hours apart. Is that okay?

I personally reckon that's okay. I had many last month that were at 7am and many others at 8:15 and it was fine. I also had one or two that were maybe 4am-ish if I happened to wake up and was concerned about not getting three hours of solid sleep afterwards. Still got my crosshairs despite all this, so it was fine!

Great. That's much more realistic for me. Cause if I wake up to temp I will likely not be able to fall back asleep. So I'd rather space them out a bit. Thanks for the info.

For some reason the last month I've been waking up everyday around 6am to go to the bathroom, so I've decided before I get out of bed to go, I'll temp. Makes it simple for me.

Jezika my heart is broken for you...read a couple of your posts about the mc!

Kat heartbeat! That must have been like music to your ears. Glad everything is going well.

Angel hi darling, hope things are well with you....

Everyone else....good luck wherever you are in your cycles this month!! Let's get some bfps!!!
Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I'm not active much in this thread anymore but you are all my original ttc buddies and I wanted to check on everyone there are just so many new posters I can't keep up lol.

Kat - you're right in all you say and I'm beginning to feel a lot more positive about things. Just hope if it happens again I can take it in my stride and handle it rationally, but I don't have much faith in myself! Btw, I love your scan pic!

Angel - booo to AF and bad cramping. That's the worst when you're trying to sleep.

Mrs. Rose - are your cycles pretty short?

Lara Baby - DH and I are similar in age to you guys and also started trying very recently. And I definitely also symptom spotted the first cycle! I quit that a bit with the second cycle, but it was hard not to become consumed by the TTC world. My suggestion is to use these boards for information and support, but try to also have plenty of other day-to-day things to do that are nothing to do with TTC. If I didn't have school, I'd probably be occupied with TTC stuff at every waking hour, which is fine, but can be very stressful when things don't go as planned. You're in the right place, though. These ladies are awesome

My cycles have varied from 25-39 days so I never know what to expect, though I feel like lately they've been longer. I'm hoping the Pregnancy Prep helps make them more consistent, and hopefully less than 30 days!

I am a horrible sleeper and very rarely get the recommended 3 solid hours of sleep or wake up at the exact same time every day. I often wake up really early and can't go back to sleep. Despite all of that, I was still able to see a very distinct temp shift so I would imagine you would too.

I also started prometrium last month, thought I didn't really notice any symptoms. I took it orally at night so maybe that helped?

Unfortunately I didn't get to hear it, only see it which was still great Hoping I get to hear it at my next scan which will probably be between weeks 11-13. Also being scanned to see the risk of e.g. Downs (plus blood test) so hoping everything still looks great by that time.

Glad to know that it does not have to be exact. That's helpful. Sorry about your lack of consistent sleep. I have a lot of trouble falling asleep. And unfortunately I have a weak stomach and I get easily sick from it and nauseous. Sometimes even when I'm overwhelmed with information overload on this or that I start to feel nauseous.

How often would AF come when it was not being induced by meds? For me it was about twice a year.

Kat sending you warm wishes for your scan. Congrats on it. Fx that everything goes well for you!

:wave: welcome angelbride!

Im just catching up, been a busy past couple days. Thought I was almost over this cold but today it feels like it's rearing up again. Plus today my car started making weird noises, dh thinks it's a bearing in the alternator. Not cool since we are a little tight on money this month. Blah. trying not to stress about it. I've got a massage tomorrow, going to do some yoga, and then my RE appointment Sunday. Hoping AF is gone by then!

I get AF every month. I took the promethium bc I have low progesterone. It was .6 with my first cp and 7.4 with my second, so now I take it 3dpo in case I get a bfp. I've only done it one cycle, this will be my second.

I had a massage last weekend, it was heavenly! I wish I could have one every week! Good luck at your appointment! I can't remember, have you and DH had any testing done thus far?

I temp whenever I get up. I stopped worrying about it being at the same time some time ago. On the weekends, the time I temp is much later and I still get crosshairs and a noticeable temp shift. So, try not to worry too much. (I just set my FF time to a standard time and fill in the temps. No open circles and no temp adjusting.)


AFM- I'm waiting to see if there's a real BFP in the cards for me or if AF is going to finally show up. Big temp dip at 14DPO, suuuuuuuuper faint line this morning at 19DPO. Might be line eye, so waiting to see if it gets any darker. If not, I guess it's back to the drawing board...and the FS. NO sign of AF yet though....

Having a frustrating day. My car is acting up and DH is working on it but something broke and now he's frustrated and I'm frustrated because he's so frustrated. What a day. And horrible timing for my car to break. We've got so much to do this weekend we didn't really have "fixing my car" in the mix. But I've managed to clean the kitchen, do laundry and clean the bathroom and bedroom. Still have a lot to do but that's something done at least.

On TTC news: AF as been really light this time around, despite the insane cramping from when it started. Ever since then it's been easy and light and I almost didn't realize I had it! Today it's so light it's almost spotting!

DBZGood luck!!! Hopefully it's your BFP!

I get one every month. I have a membership at a place called Massage Envy and so I get a 60min every month. It's amazing. This week I'm paying a little extra for a 90 minute. I do that once every few months. It's totally worth it.

We haven't had any testing done so far. None of my doctors were willing to test until we hit the 1 year mark. This will be our first visit.

That's so annoying that they wouldn't test, especially after the MCs. Hope you get some answers soon.

 

[Angel5000]

Yeah. Apparently it's not considered abnormal until you've had 3 or more MCs. :/ not cool. Hoping to get some answers tomorrow.
