TTC for (viable) #1 at 36....buddies needed...

[anorak]

Hey guys. Feeling a little blue today. Coming up to the ovulation part (fertility starts tomorrow). This will be by 2nd cycle after coming off Cerazette after my miscarriage in Feb.

I want a baby more than anything. Why I didn't feel this way in my 20's I will never know. My OH is 38 and has a teenage daughter, and I just want that feeling of having my own child. The sickness, the swelling, the bump and my already large boobs for a small person getting bigger!


My Mum had me when she was 38 so she still says I am young! I look young and lead a fairly healthy lifestyle. I walk everywhere and am starting to get back into my running. Had to give up Roller Derby as I feel trying for a baby and skating is not a good combo!

I dunno, just feeling a little down as the last time I was pregnant I had just come off cerazette and was PG in that cycle. It ended in a MC and I was so upset I went back on Cerazette.

Are there any other ladies in this situation that share this? I am thinking of starting a blog about it all!

Hi Anorak! I'll be your buddy!

I'm 9 dpo right now in a hopeless cycle, but otherwise you and I have a few things in common. I'm also 36 and ttc #1. My OH is 43 and has three teenage/adult children from a previous relationship.

We've been ttc for 13 months now (I'm too depressed at present to share the details of the journey so far) but I'd love more company on this often painful journey. xx

I'm 37 and DH is 45, we've been married for 16 years and have been TTC #1 since May. This week coming up will be try #6. Our first PG ended in the seventh week with a MC. I too am getting very frustrated and blue. I couldn't have given less thought to kids in my 20s or earlier 30s, then BAM! It hit me. I was super excited when we got PG so easily the first time and assumed this time would be the same. What the heck???

Hi ladies! I'd love a buddy! I am 36 (and a half) and SO is 42 quickly going on 43. We've been TTC #1 for about 16 months. It has been a challenge because we live in different cities and can meet only on weekends (although we drive on over during suspected O when we can). SO's SA came back not so good so we are trying natural ways to improve this. It also seems my ovulation is iffy. Our fertility specialist wanted to go for IUI or IVF (after seeing SA results) but we don't have insurance coverage and we are not ready (emotionally and financially) to go that route just yet. I've been struggling with lots of negative thoughts and would love having buddies to check in with. Going in, I knew it may be hard but not like this. I wasn't expecting so much of the emotional up and down (mostly down these days).
