Ttc #3 over 35 - anyone else in the same boat??

Hey bonnie yep i used ff app, was nearly addicted to it aswell! Found myself testing again earlier on this afternoon and nothing but im hoping that the reason for that was the less concentrated urine later on in the day! So tomorrow i shall be testing once more hoping to see a little faint line, my goodness this is so exausting during these last few days, i try not to think about it but wey hey it pops into my head again!
Plus trying to keep my happy face when i hear about my friends pregnany news......why is it sooo many friends are announcing their fab news and im biting my fingers patiently waiting :)
How are all you other ladies getting on, what stage in this cycle are you all at ?? :)
 
I know its such a tough wait. Its hard not to feel jealous of friends getting pg and that is just natural. FF app is great! I have it too.

Good Luck!
 
hi ladies,
also been offline for couple of days but here i am again.
sorry to hear about the BFN and Yay fluffy for the fain BFP. i hope this is it for you!!!

Angela i think we are on very similar cycle today is cycle day 7 for me and i am due to O end of next week. i am using opk this month not sure when to start testing...i think i will maybe this weekend. i have so many of the test from amazon.

still getting used to the names but thanks so much for the weight watchers info. i may just do online. i checked for meetings near me and i am not sure that i will makejt due to not so convenient times. it looks like a very reasonable diet to try while ttc.

ok ladies, have a great night! i will surely check in tomorrow to see if we have more Bfp! i will say a little prayer for you!
 
i love the ff ap for iphone!
i am so excited tonight because i think i have a triphasic chart!

Hey girl, your chart looks awesome!! Fx'd for your BFP Bonnie.

Fluffy - I hope that's a BFP for you!
 
Hey ladies, just updating today, tested this morning and I can see another faint line but barely visible but still there! Not really getting my hopes up as it hasn't got any darker but I'm 11 dpo today so it may be a bit early for me yet! Still don't have any other symptoms so I'll continue to wait and test :) thanks ladies for all your support, I honestly don't know what I'd do if I didn't have all your advice.......thanks :)
 
its a chart that shows a 3rd thermal shift usually around DPO 9

these charts tend to have a higher pregnancy rate due to the increase temp because of increased progesterone

i dont think im quite there yet-need another high day

but somone noted that she thought my ov was on 14 instead of 11 and when i changed my ff mode to research it changed it to 14!

so instead of the 14 dpo i thought i was it looks like i am 11DPO

so confusing!

fx'd crossed-your bfp sounds great!
:dust:

Soooo excited for you!!!! Praying for that line to get darker! :happydance:
 
At least the line was still there fluffy...fingers crossed it gets darker for you.

Bonnie - when are you going to test?

Happy Saturday and welcome to all the new ladies.

Ali, wow #6! How awesome is that? i love big families!

Fluffy that's great news. I think that for a line to get darker you may need couple of days and not just 24 hours - it will get there! :happydance: They say that the HCG doubles every 48-72 hours (i think) so it makes sense that it will not be so much darker today. Getting 2 faint lines is a great sign and hopefully the beginning of a very strong BFP for you.

Boonie1990 - I am not too familiar with charts but i read many times about triphasic charts being a great sign. When are you going to start testing? You mentioned daily but, have you started? So exciting! I hope you get your BFP when you test.


I can't wait to O and be in my TWW. I know that the TWW is nerveracking and consumes my thoughts through the day but the possibility of the start of a pregnancy is just so exciting.
We dont necessarily have a BD schedule for next week but i will try every other day for 2 weeks. I think that should cover us...i remember reading that DTD every day may be negative due to lower sperm count. What has worked for you ladies in the past? What are your thoughts?
With my previous ones, I can't say that we really tried - we just not prevented until it happened so this is our first time paying more attention and wanting it to happen sooner rather than later. I feel that because we are actually actively trying this time and timing DTD, it should happen faster but despite my feelings, I know from reading online that's not necessarily true.
Also I will test with the OPK to see when I O exactly but I think that I do have an idea because my cycles are VERY regular and I usually get about 5 days of EWCM , What I usually do not know is if O happens in the middle or end of the EWCM days. My LP seems to be consistently 12-13 days long if I could from the last day of EWCM. The problem, last cycle, was that I had EWCM from mid cycle till AF showed so it threw me off. This was the first cycle TTC (we stopped using condoms) so I am thinking that it may have been the "stuff" coming out after DTD and not EWCM necessarily. I never paid attention in my two previous pregnancies and our normal form of birth control is condoms so i am not all that familiar with how "it" looks coming out after but i did read a bit online...i seem to get a lot of info from google. :haha:

Ok ladies, i hope my long post did not bore you.
Good luck with testing! Can't wait to read about it tomorrow.
 
Hi ladies,

Mind if I join you, even though we are trying for #4? I love this site but have struggled with finding a place to "fit in".

I'm 35 (36 in May). I have 3 children from a previous marriage (dd 16, ds 15, ds 12). My new hubby is 30 and does not have any children of his own. I had a tubal reversal done in October and we were super happy when we got a BFP in January. Unfortately it wasn't a sticky bean. :nope:

I'm currently 11dpo, and a confessed POAS addict as well! FX'd this is our month, but starting to lose a little hope. I'm so excited to see a group of ladies in the same boat as me!

welcome and thats alot of little boys!
are you hoping for some pink this time around?

Happy Saturday and welcome to all the new ladies.

i have been testing because yesterday i thought i was 13DPO....figured out last night that i probably am only 11DPO today

so i bought some rite aid brand tests today-box of 3. They were a high percentage of positive on DPO 11 so i thought what the heck. They are also blue dye and i hear a lot about pink dye being harder to read so ill try it and see. i also have a frer left so i am good until the day after af is due---really hoping she stays away this time!

this is the first time i have been so actively TTC. my first was an oops and my second happened first month off pill-i never even thought about "what to do"--we just did it-lol

going into this i did so much research. FF (fertility friend...see chart below) has so much information an has been a huge help. and of course the ladies on here are awesome!

:dust:

You are right there are very little places to fit in but I think this is a good place. I technically should not be here just yet as I am not ready to TTC, hopefully will be joining you soon though. Hope your wait here is a quick one. So sorry for your loss in January.
