Need a buddy - 37 & TTC #1

[Lynny77]

Hi Michelle! Welcome I know what you mean about feeling a bit behind sometimes. Though I still feel like I'm 22 And now that I'm ready it's frustrating that it hasn't happened yet. We are into cycle 6 now. Trying to stay positive!

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. I am 38 (as of November) and ttc #1. We started trying this month and AF is expected tomorrow. Although we just started this process I've wanted to be a mom for as long as I can remember. It took me a long time to find someone and settle down. Its been difficult to watch everyone I know get pregnant and now it seems that the people I babysat are becoming parents. So I really feel for everyone who is in this ttc boat with me.

Hi ladies, just checking in. ERosePW, sorry to hear about your mc, you have a wonderful attitude, lots of baby dust your way! I just started OPKs this cycle, time to get serious! On CD 10 I got a dark line and noticed some CM going on, sooooooo we'll see what happens this month.

Baby dust to all!

Maybaby. Good luck

AF came early this month, nothing like an unwelcome visitor showing up early! How's everyone else doing?

cd5 here, af arrived on time but was still unwelcome! can't wait for O to get here and start obsessing over 'is it PMS or BFP' symptoms again!

PS - Hopeful, love your meme!

You're right behind me, I'm on cd7. Finally got AF after my CP in Dec. So I was able to start my Clomid again this month. Like you, I am dying for O to just get here! I think the first two weeks is just as bad as the TWW! LOL

hahaha I agree!! I'm counting last month as our first 'real' cycle b/c I was paying closer attention to everything around and after O. So this is the first month I'm paying attn beforehand! I'm going to drive myself bonkers! it doesn't help that work is slow so I'm on this site every half hour.
FX for you!

Hi ladies!

I'm on 8dpo so I'm fully in the- is it pms or something else bit. Though this is my 6th cycle and every cycle so far I've had symptoms which I thought for sure were pregnancy only to get af. And it's not like you can just not think about it. It's all I think about

TWW - so fun! HA!

FX'ed for you!!

Hi everyone! I'm 37 and also ttc #1. It's really frustrating. Just started my Af, this cycle will be cycle 19. What's everyone doing to maximize their chances? I'll be starting the cbe fertility monitor and temping this month. Also started taking maca this cycle.
I already take a prenatal, vit d, coq10, and use softcups and preseed, although I've only started all this stuff a couple of cycles ago.

Good luck!!!

Hi ladies!

Nothing new to report here! Lots of cramps but they seemed to have dissipated today (day dpo10/11) lots of cm as well and sore bb's but that's very consistent with pre menstrual. The only thing I did this month different was have a green smoothie every day the week I O'd- but that was only because I was off so had the time and energy for it. Really don't feel pregnant this month so don't have any hopes.

Snortybea- good luck this month! Fingers crossed!

Hi ladies. Unfortunately I got Prego last month after 14 cycles and lost the baby at 8 weeks. Just have a little light bleeding left. It's so hard to be starting over again

Do you know what the next steps will be? Will you keep trying IUIs?

Lamago, I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs Hun. I know that feeling after trying so long, and then starting the whole process all over again. I got prego after 13 months, and lost that one, although it was much earlier than yours. I'm now just finishing my 15th month with a bfn and AF today. I have a thread in the Loss forums since many of us wanted to start TTC immediately after, if you'd like to join us, although I stay in the other forums more often to stay positive and keep going. But it sometimes helps me to have that one to go to also.

Hello everyone! I am new to this site. I am 37 & have 2 teenagers. TTC #3. My fiance has no kids & wants to be a daddy so here I am. We have been trying for 5 months with no luck. Expecting the Clearblue Fertility Monitor to come in the mail today. Just wanted to say hi.

 

[bsnurse]

Good morning ladies! I am new to the site. I am 37 and ttc#1...we have been trying since last June. I thought I knew my cycle pretty well and then I was 3 days late this month which probably means I ovulated later than normal. Very frustrating. We are scheduled to go see a fertility doctor in a couple of weeks. Just wanted to say Hi and talk with others who can relate.

 

[Lynny77]

I'm so sorry lamago. I lost at 9 weeks a while back and it sucks. Hugs to you.

Welcome to the new ladies!

 

[lamago]

thanks erose. Ill look for you in the loss tread.

@fezzle i'm not sure yet. I just called today to go to infertility specialist again. The first time i had to wait two months for an appoinmtne to I think it likely be that way again since i'm bassically starting over just older and sadder
