NTNP 30+ - Anyone else?

[Flowerpot]

GirlBlue - yep, since coming off BCP about 1.5 yrs ago I've never had regular 28 days cycles. I'm always between 28 and 34 days.

Hi everyone! 31 here in August. I've never been regular, so I haven't used bc for a while. Haven't gotten pregnant yet. So trying for me will be seeing a fertility specialist for sure.

:wave: Hello everyone. I'm 34 and have only just started NTNP (on cycle two).

I had 3 mcs before my son was born (he's just turned one) so decided that we need to be more relaxed this time round as it all became a really stressful/emotional process last time.

I feel incredibly blessed to have one child so if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't.... well that is how I feel at the moment.

I thought I was pregnant this month and then AF appeared 3 days early so my cycle is up in the air too at the moment.

Good and bad news-my RE has diagnosed me with PCOS however my eggs are healthy and she can get me started on meds to get rid of the cysts and help me ovulate. I was so worried, but now I'm so relieved. I just needed answers and wanted to make sure I at least had eggs, ovaries, and uterus. Hopefully we r on our way!

OH and I decided a few months ago. I've had 2 periods since removal of the Mirena coil. They seem to be around 24 day cycles so far, used to be longer before. I too am worried I won't conceive having suffered severely painful periods since age 16 that have been attributed to endometriosis. Fingers crossed for us all! It's nice to hear many people saying similar things. I've finally met someone lovely who I want to have kids with, later than many people but hey, that's how life is I guess.

It's been quiet. I'm wondering how everyone is doing?

 

[joeybrooks]

Well, no AF yet but it would only be due this sat if it were to 28 days from withdrawal bleed, so we'll see.

Seen doc who was fab and so excited for me. She gave me colic acid and told me that it could be several months before period returns. She told me to relax, bd every few days and enjoy ttc.

So OH and I are now ntnp!

I'm also 33 (34 in September) and 3 weeks of the pill NTNP. I am anxious to see if I get AF next week, which would mean my cycle went back to normal right away. However, OH and I were not careful earlier this month 3 times so I guess BFP is always a possibility as well! Having no idea if/when I ovulated or when to test, I am decently stressed right now, hahaha! I would be thrilled, but we also have a fun vaca planned with my parents in early August so maybe we should have waited We shall see!! I was on the pill for 15 years so this is all new territory for me! Let's all keep each other updated!

Hey ladies! I'm 1 DPO and starting the TWW. We don't really track using CM, charting etc., but I have a rough idea when I should OV because we were using calendar method before and I monitor my libido. So since we had been vacillating btw WTT/TTC/NTNP for the first time I think we actually DTD when my libido hit peak. If it doesn't happen this month, I think we're going to put it on hold for awhile. We'll see.

Hello everyone! Im 33 and excited that this will be my first month ntnp. My db and Ihave been together for a year both desperately want children, I always thought id have 3 by now! But neither of us were ever in the right relationship/situation until we were lucky enough to find each other. We were waiting to try until we finished remodeling our home and saved what I believed to be a safe amount of money (as I make more money and own a business, and don't want to have to worry) . But after believing I was pregnant last month and getting a bfn , we realized how disappointed we were and that we are both ready for this part of our lives... I am so so excited and so happy I found this board, can't wait to get to know everyone!

 

[CeeDee]

Welcome, Kaleido! Hopefully you'll have a short journey.

 

[Heidi]

No fair, i don't fit in to either the 30+ or the young 20's thread, i'm almost 27!

 

[joeybrooks]

Kaleido, that's how I found myself here. When I wasn't pg I was disappointerld and at 30, in a brill relationship and v happy, I questioned why I wasn't FTC. Think the disappointment of bfn is an eye opener.

 

[Kaleido]

Yes joeybrooks it really was! Of coarse I knew I wanted children, but until I got that bfn I didn't realize how much I had been trying to block out and distract myself from how badley I wanted them now! And we both realized we were only waiting bc we each thought that's what the other wanted! Now we are both just walking around with smiles, we know it may not happen right away, but just knowing we are on that path is so exciting it really is a great feeling to share

Hi there Im 34 this August..and we are deciding if we will just throw in the towel and leave it in and see what happens or wait till one of the 2 are out of diapers or wait till one of the 2 are out of diapers and my oldest is moved out or what. .. we're not using protection and were not trying..so im not sure if im in the 30+ NTNP or what. Hard to decide what to do ...as I want to TTC a GIRL baby, and am afraid of TTC that it iwll be a boy. I know my cycles, so right at the peak of eggwhite cm then we will babydance, ugh, idk lol anyawys Im 34 soon. and possibly belong to this forum

 

[CeeDee]
