TTC #1 at 35+

Hey

TMI alert guys.

Just been to the loo before leaving for work and as i wiped there was a few tiny streaks of blood and a very very very tiny clot. Now I have been having my AF since the age of 10 (an early starter, i know lol) but i have never ever had spotting/blood mid-cycle. Its been 3 days since last BD with OH so can't think that it's due to that.

I'm on CD20 today, not too sure on ovulation as i managed to miss some temping days (dumb i know).

Any ideas? I've been quite "wet" too - again sorry for TMI.

 

[Leilani]

Oh Tracey, I don't know! I guess it could be an implantation bleed - though I hate it when I read people suggesting it, as I think it's clutching at straws, but in your case, it really could be, especially as you don't realyy know when you OV'd! FX

As for your bloods, I got my CD3 results with the CD21 one a few days after CD21, though that was via my GP, I assumed she was just waiting for both, so can't really help you on that one either!!

As for me, it's only CD10, but I got a peak on my CBFM this morning.so the days of BDing here we come - pun intended!

Sounds like you might be ovulating! or implantation how long are your periods normally? also have you been stressed this month? was it just blood or ewcm with streaks of blood?

CD1 was 27th Feb and period was 3 days long (normally 3-4 days). I've not been any different this month in terms of stress. I have decided though that I am not going to read anything into it and just wait to see what happens.

FX'd and PMA rules!

 

[Leilani]

I'm a bit concerned that OVing early isn't a good sign, but I can't find much info about length of folicular phase. Do any of you ladies know anything abot follicular phase length?

I'll be making a fertility specialist appointment on Monday, think I'll try and make it for what potentially will be CD2 or 3 next cycle, so if they want to do more bloods I won't have to wait forever for them to do them. I spoke to my GP and she said the hospital wouldn't make an appointment for me until we've been trying 12 months, and even then it might be 2 more months down the track (making it Oct), whereas for about $200 we can go see the specialist any time. The system here is a bit silly, because of my age, not fantastic hormone results (though I've not been given specific details) and DH's poor SA result we are eligible for funded treatment, but because we haven't been trying for a year yet, we're not eligible for a referral appointment. So for the sake of $200 and saving 4-6 months of potentially futile trying, we're going to go for it. My GP spoke to the Consultant in charge of the fertility clinic, and he's expecting my call, so hopefully he can see us as quick as I'd like.

Anyway, yay for a weekend of BDing, got to cover all bases!

Lisa - have you been doing any sympotm spotting?

Tracey - I guess it could be an ovulation bleed - I've read about those too, but don't personally know about such things!

Hi

Do you know when you normally ovulate? I had a load of EWCM with blood streaks in it the month I got my and I'd never experienced it before. I hope you BD'd to make sure you were covered incase you were ovulating later.

PMA all the way.

[Beanhopes]

Ella- how was your scan?

I need some hope and PMA as I've started slight spotting and have very dull cramps which is so worrying. I'll be 9wks on Sunday and when I think I have another 31wks to go it doesn't seem so long but I'm so scared that I won't make it especially with this pesky fibroid.

We told our parents this weekend with it being Mothers Day and everyone is so excited. I'm so glad we told them as no matter what happens we'll need their love and support.

PMA and to all of you.

Hi All

Sam . I'm sure its nothing to worry about. Have you checked with GP/midwife to put your mind at rest?

Leilani - I'm not really sure about follicular length but i do know that it is the part of the cycle that can vary most.

Lisa - does your book mention anything about it? Maybe you can answer leilani's question?

Got my CD21 blood taken today. Still no CD3 results. I've made an appointment with my GP for next week (on the advice on the practice nurse today) to go over my results and the nurse was going to see about getting the CD3 results chased up. FX'D

Hi girls just checking in af due on tues did a hpt it's negative! Arrggghh no surprise really I'll check my book and get back to you x

 

[Lisa1]

Nope ovulating early is fine I later is a problem xx

 

[Leilani]

That's good to hear - cheers, and what about waiting til AF was late to test!!!??

 

[EllaMom2B]

Oh Lisa, I'm sorry! But don't lose your patented PMA!

Sam, try not to worry. Believe me, I know how hard this is! But a bit of spotting is usually normal: especially after seeing and hearing the heartbeat, things look good! If you that could be the culprit, or even the scan itself, if it was vaginal. There's so much more blood going down there these days... and cramps are normal, too. I has really sharp
pains around 9 weeks and was told it was round-ligament pain. Everything's going to be fine!

Sorry always to just pop in of late. Work has been crazy, and I've taken on some extra freelance assignments as well for the $$$ (tax season in the US). All this when I'm down-to-the-bone exhausted! So. Tired.

The scan was fine -- great, actually! I didn't realize the nuchal scan doesn't tell you anything in and of itself; rather, it's part of a sequential screening that includes bloodwork at 12 and 16 weeks. So no results until then. Still, OH got his first look, and that was amazing. Easily the happiest day of my entire life was seeing him be so happy. We were both married before and live in the house he shared with his ex. So sometimes it feels like there's not a lot new or original for us... nothing's for the first time. But this was completely new. And completely ours. I'm ecstatic.

This is coming due for all of you beautiful, wonderful, kind and generous girls. It will be all the sweeter for the wait, I promise.

A thousand hugs and tonnes of to all.

Try not to worry Sam. I know that's easier said than done, but just think about those stories you hear of people who don't know they're pregnant for months because they still had periods or even those who have periods the whole way through and don't know they're pregnant until they go into labour and then out pops a baby!

Hello girls Do you mind if I join?

I am 35, DH is 36, TTC #1 for 12months now. I don't have very much PMA at the moment. Feel like giving up at times, esp when people around me are getting pregnant

How is everyone doing?
