TTC #1 at 35+

[Lisa1]

Just found out another friend is having her 2nd baby in less time than I've been trying for my first. Trying to be gracious but mostly just feeling bitter.

Toni weschler taking charge of your fertility all 383 pages read in a couple of evenings I am now a fertility Doctor lol

Amazing girls a real must for ttc I have just downloaded the software to record my cycles. Only thing worrying me is my light periods which she also says could be an issue. So am going to investigate that more although not worry about it to much.

I've been sporadically concerned about my light flows, but haven't been able to find much Googled evidence that I should be concerned about - not that it stops me worrying!!

Just checked, our local library has this book, but it is on loan at the mo, and they don't keep it in stock at Borders. I might just have to fork out the $2 to reserve it at the library, just need to find my library card!

I'm guessing I'm 10DPO today - will look in my ticker in a mo. DH has had an upset stomach for the past 2 days and been off work, I've been fine - and we eat the same things - including the same main and dessert when we went out for my B'day meal on Tuesday night. I'm thinking maybe it's a bug, and my tummy is felling a bit ill this evening, so not sure if it's a bug or a baby!! I don't have any symptoms,and won't be testing before Weds, as early HPTs just aren't available widely here.

How is everyone?

Deb- you still have a shot at March BFP - Fingers crossed.

Hello

Apologies for my absense. I'm keeping a low profile as I don't want to be upsetting any of you lovely ladies by putting my size 5 feet in anywhere.

I just wanted to comment on your light flow posts to try and ease your concerns.

My cycle was between 26-28 days and I had an incredibly light flow which lasted 2 days in total. Some months I only had to use a liner as I never had enough of a flow to need anything else. I tended to only lose anything if I went to the loo. Maybe my pelvic floor muscles are extra strong and held everything in!

A friend of the family, who is a midwife said that so long as you still have a bleed once a month then everything should be fine.

Sending you all lots of , PMA and

Right on time, she got me this morning. I'm going to have an HSG done hopefully next month. If all looks good there, I suspect my doc will prescribe clomid. I wouldn't mind having twins, I just hope it won't be 8

I am new here. 39 yo and hoping I am pregnant. I am 12 dpo and got a negative this morning. If I concieve this will be my first child.

I have had symptoms since day 3: pinkish discharge when I wipe that continued on and off for 4 or 5 days. Now I have a light tan watery discharge that happens a couple of times a day and I have to wear a liner. Boobs were very sore the last 2 days but today they feel a bit more normal. Light nausea for the past 2 days. Feeling energetic and extremely tired on and off. Also I have been more interested in sex than usual.

My AF is due on Monday...this will be the longest weeknd ever!!!

Welcome Alice OMG this will be a really long weekend for you, fx it's the last month you will be waiting for your AF.

Hi Alice :wave:

Welcome, how long have you been TTC? Tell us about yourself? I'm almost at the same stage in my cycle as you, my AF is due Tuesday afternoon/night.

Luckily I have a full on weekend planned - friend staying friday, visiting another friend on Sat with her 2 week old baby, tidying our pig-sty of a house on Sat arvo, and the re-scheduled dragonboating with the kids on Sunday followed by a football match late Sunday arvo. I hope I don't feel the need to be on knicker-watch on Sunday, as port-a-loos and the stadium toilets aren't that nice!

Lisa - are you all geared up for your BDathon? DO you have anything special planned?

 

[alice2010]

Leilani & Lisa,

Thanks for the welcomes! I have been dreaming of having a baby for a few years now. I was in a 6 year relationship with a guy who kept making excuses...finally I got the guts to end it with him. I am with a new guy now and was not trying but not being too careful either....just started having all the signs...I am hoping with all my heart...

It feels good to have people in the same time clock! YAY!!

 

[Lisa1]

aww gud for you huni we are all in the same boat! you seem to have it all going on streaked cm etc fx for you xxx

Hoping it's your turn x

lol bdathon!!! OH is away on a stag do aarrggghh last month I was outta town this month it's him, but t be honest on reading the book I am more knowledgable and maybe more relaxed.

So my new ttc will go something like this= temping every morning also recording my cm which apparently is the key to all this babymaking malarcky!! which I kinda knew but didn't pay much attention to lol

Oh and relaxing loads more The temping will tell me loads of info about when I ovulate and also when I get pregnant before I miss a period

I went to the bathroom about an hour ago and discovered red and dark red blood. I am cramping very lightly. I am so scared that I may be miscarrying. It could be implantation bleeding too..this is such an emotional rollercoaster. My boobs quit hurting today. Sorry, I am just feeling so scared and sad and confused.

Hi Alice

I'm sorry that you're feeling like this. TTC is a total rollercoaster -we've all been like this.

It sounds as though AF is here rather than a MC but I do understand how you're feeling.

Take care and PMA

Hello Alice,
Welcome and sorry to hear about your bleeding.
Maybe one of the other girls could tell you what implantation bleeding was like for them. I'm no expert, but trying to stay positive for you I would think that there wouldn't be much blood if you had a miscarriage at such an early stage.
What does everyone else think?
B.

 

[lola13]

I'm no expert either, but at 12/13 dpo, I would guess it's just regular AF. I've had odd cycles with some spotting between O & AF, other times she just comes on with a vengeance right when she's expected. We've all also had symptoms that convinced us we were preggers along the way - it's normal. Sorry about the emotional rollercoaster.

 

[Lisa1]

Alice ttc is crap sometimes hun symptoms are a nightmare and can be so hard

 

[Lisa1]

hello lovely ladies hope you are all well? I was out with my gf's last noght went for an indian and drunk bucket loads of red wine lol had a good gossip and catch up my OH is away on a stag weekend in Glasgow and will be home in time for the eggy so today I had more reflexogly and went shopping as the girls are coming to mine for dinner and drinkies

I have decided to make a mental effort to enjoy myself more and relax about TTC the taking charge of your fertility book I read has really made me relax about the whole thing

I may be 36 but I don't care I can achieve a pregnancy and many girls in there 20's take over a year to get preggers. So I shake a huge vat of wine at TTC this evening and will be looking at a on the 23rd of March lol PMA BABY

Hi Lisa

Glad you are having a good weekend! I know what you mean about relaxing about the whole thing - I have tried to back off from the whole TTC thing and chill out a bit more and it's definitely helped our relationship and our sex life ... which in turn has helped me to relax ... so roll on the
