TTC 1st child 35+ (Please spoiler any PG news/announcements).

[doorbell]

Maddy, thats fantastic news Hope they keep growing and growing beautifully. Good luck for transfer tomorrow

Pebble, maybe the spotting means a big perfect eggie dropped hope you caught it

Afm, start my stims today, here we go again

to everyone else and for anyone that needs them.

 

[owl35]

door - for starting stims! Good luck!

maddy - good luck with the transfer! Will be thinking about you!

pbl - don't throw away cycles just because you're spotting Could be late ovulation spotting. Maybe you kicked out a gorgeous egg

afm - DH and I went to see a counselor yesterday. Turns out that my fertility clinic has counselors on staff and patients can go see them for free It was a great experience and she offered a lot of good advice. I was dreading the appointment because I'm not someone who likes to talk about her feelings. But I'm so glad we went. Will probably go back to her when it's time for FET (July or August).

Lots of love to all you lovely ladies!

Hi Ladies,

I'm new here (clearly). I never thought I would be here either. I'm 35 and was content to not have children.....until one day that changed. Everyone said that I'd all of the sudden desire having a child and I doubted them....until now. Its strange to me how much of my life I spent trying to prevent a pregnancy and now I'm learning about charting temps and such....

I've really enjoyed reading through the many many pages and reading everyone's journey and realizing I'm not alone. Sometimes it feels as if I'm living a secret life as DH and I are not "out" about trying...ie, no one knows....it just feels like it may be easier to not have it be public. We have very public jobs which has resulted in our private lives becoming very private.....

Anyway, I haven't learned how to post those fairies sprinkling what I guess is baby magic around, but please know I'm wishing for baby magic for everyone!

Afm, Day 2 of stims. I need to have a word with myself, still eating chocolate. I have to get myself on track and start eating nuts and the like I just want goodies!!!
I am increasing my protein intake (have done in all my cycles ). Lots of milk, chicken, need to start on eggs now too...

 

[Lady H]

Doorbell Almonds are really high in protein and feel a bit more like a treat if that helps?

 

[doorbell]

Thanks Lady H. I know I should be better so going to make a real effort to be good from here on in.

Owl, so glad you got a good counselor. They’re hard to find! When we first got to this city OH and I saw a counselor, mainly because I did a research project on the benefits of premarital counseling and we didn’t have time to do it. Anyway, I liked her and just recently noticed that she does infertility counseling, too. I’m considering going in for a few sessions, as the 1 year mark and a nasty pg announcement from a friend have hit me pretty hard. Blech. Anyway, hope you’re still enjoying your TTC vacay! Nice to have the summer to free your mind from all this craziness! Are you going to travel some?

Welcome, Paddle. Hope your stay here is short and sweet.

Maddy, just posted in your journal. Thinking of you lots!

Door, glad you decided on another round! Post your schedule here when you get a chance so we can all keep up? If you'd like. I know you’re in stimms right now. Grow, follies, grow!

Ness, too funny about OH. I’m sure he’ll come around in the heat of the moment.

Hope everyone else is doing well. Big hugs and dust all around!
