Need a buddy - 37 & TTC #1

[Fezzle]

I've seen people say that pregnancy, even a miscarriage, can help their body become more fertile somehow, so I hope that's the case for you!

 

[lamago]

I haven't really heard that before but hopefully it's true. I didn't realize you were 37 fezzle. I think the years and having no kids makes it that much harder for me.

 

[lamago]

Lyn77, do u have kids? How long have u been trying?

 

[ERosePW]

I don't have any kids either. I started trying at the age of 36, then I turned 37 last summer and now each month just really matters. I want to be a mom so badly.

 

[Lynny77]

lamago I don't have kids. I m/c a year ago and now desperately trying to get pregnant again. I'm 36 now. Just saw my doctor and should get an appointment with a gyno soon. This ttc business can be pretty hard on the heart thats for sure!

Dh and I just tried dtd and I'm so dry it was uncomfortable. This has never been a problem before. How frustrating!

lamago: sorry for your loss

It's nice to be able to come somewhere and relate with women who are going through exactly the same thing!

Early af AGAIN!! wth?? Two cycles in February = February is now my least favorite month. It prompted me to do a little research (gotta love google) and I'm wondering if my daily habit of putting about a tablespoon of cinnamon on my yogurt is doing me harm. All sources seem to say that normal amounts of cinnamon (seasoning amounts) are perfectly safe but that larger amounts can bring on af/bleeding. Soooooo, to everyone ttc: avoid large servings of cinnamon!

Wishes for a lovely day to all of you and

lamago- now I'm 38! (as of a couple weeks ago!)

Have you tried preseed or conceive plus? I've tried both, but OH finds them too slippery to get enough 'friction', even if I just use a little bit. But I haven't ever been dry; we usually just use it to get him going again manually if necessary!

Lynn, Erost
I know just how you feel especially TTC #1. I dont have any kids to help me feel better about it and i want to be a mom so bad. I have my doc's appoint on monday so hopefully everything looks good.

Fezzle, Happy Belated B-day! I'm 36 now turningg 37 in Sept. I started TTC when I was 35. =/

[lamago]

Appointment confirmed everything is out and I don't need D&C. Just waiting to get back to normal cycles. Finding it really hard not to try this time around.

I'm new to this and have to admit i'm a symptom post stalker

We have been ttc for 3 years (not actively - "if it happens it happens" ) But we have decided since my 35th Birthday to actively try

I'm currently CD21 and i think DPO5 / 6... I swear I have every symptom in the book every month only to have the wicked witch come and spoil it

This month I don't think we BD during my fertile window, I have PCOS and don't chart ...yet. But I have had the most unusual symptoms this month. I normally never get the BBS or Cramps before AF. (and that was two "symptoms" i never got in previous months of thinking i was pg.) This last week I have been overly aware of my nipples and a dull pulling ache over left pelvic area. Also (TMI) Constipation!! I most certainly never have that problem! I'm regular like clockwork in the morning without fail. I also have been feeling muscle/ joint pain and slightly nauseas when brushing teeth.

But the one thing that is giving me way more hope this month is I just feel pregnant. I don't have any other "symptoms" outside of the above but It's like my body is trying to make me believe that i am

Sorry for the rambling.. I did say I was new to this, But I guess I want to know if anyone else is experiencing the madness I am... please say someone is

Hi everyone,
I am 37 and have 4 boys, the youngest is 8 and we've decided to try for a last baby. I fell pretty quickly for the boys but now I'm older I'm sure it's a whole new ball game! I came off the mini pill in June. My periods have been light but I'm now 4dpo and ever hopeful! We bd loads during the fertile period (using FF and opk for the first time this month but not temping) I have no symptoms but I never found out I was pregnant with my boys until I was about 6 weeks gone each time.

Good luck to everyone ttc, I look forward to getting to know you.

Hi Ahnshi,

I'll be 37 in December and we've been trying for our first since our wedding in May. So far no luck (just started my period on Saturday). I'm happy to be your TTC buddy.

Good luck to us all
