TTC 30+ July 30-Aug 5

[leviandgarettsmom]

This group is designed for those of us over 30 yrs of age. We have a different TTC journey than our younger counterparts & many of us encounter challenges along the way to our coveted BFP. *We invite all to join us as we offer advice, support & encouragement to each other thru these challenges, as well as celebrating those joyful BFPs.


While this thread is not necessarily labeled as a "struggling TTC" thread, we do ask that if you choose to join us that you remain mindful of the challenges that many of our members are experiencing when posting about BFPs. We are excited to celebrate everyone's BFP, though it can often be a sensitive issue for those for whom it has not been so easy.

I'll try to update your status daily, but let me know if I missed you! If I don't hear from you for a few weeks I'll take you off the list. Just post with an update to be re-added.

Question of the week:What Olympic activity are you most interested in watching?

Anyone can answer the question! And if you have suggestions for the QOTW send me a PM.

In RED, tell me:
Your handle (and your name and/or age if you'd like)
Where you are in your cycle or if you're waiting for AF to return
Whether you are actively TTC or waiting right now.
**I will look for a change in your status in red throughout the week.**

CD3 today. You can move me to Waiting to O - Yay! We are now officially ttc'ing. At least I am pretty sure I can convince DH that this is the month.

[leviandgarettsmom]

Morning mamas! Please check to make sure I have everyone in the right spot. We spent the wkend with friends & took the kids to Holiday World, but I tried to stay on top of everyone's changes. I'm struggling with a QOTW...any suggestions?!?

FX & to those testing this week!!!

AFM: CD 11 & curious to see if I will get positive OPKs today like I did last cycle. I usually get them on CD 14 & just for that day. But last cycle I had positives on CD 11 & 12.

[CJsNatureMomma]

TWW for me! I O'd yesterday!

[mvp529]

Hi ladies, decided to get back in the game. My m/c was so early, my body just resumed its normal cycle really quick. Looks like I O'ed last Friday-14 days after my m/c bleeding. I would like to go ahead and be moved to 2WW. Emotionally, I am doing well and feel good about TTC again. Amazingly, we ended up DTD on the day of O-even though I really had no idea when O would happen. So this 2WW is going to be a nail-biter!!!

[carriek38]

Can you move me back to TTC? I'm officially waiting for AF, which should be here Thurs or Friday, then I'll start IUI cycle #4. Please, please, please keep your fingers crossed for me this cycle...I hate going through this crap; the meds make me feel horrible & just want to be done having the nurses poking & prodding me multiple days every month!

I can really say I haven't emotionally been too bad when I get a bfn or even w/ the mc...but our new DCP, who we've only been bringing DD to for a month, confirmed today that she's pg & due 3/5/13. I'm not jealous, per se, just kind of down that I'm not pg yet. And don't get me wrong, I know this is only cycle #4 & that's not much at all. I know there are lots of you who have been trying for significantly longer, so this isn't a "boo hoo for me" kind of thing. It's just that the fertility treatments aren't easy on me, the appointments, working, & taking care of DD gets pretty intense, people are intrusive & feel like they have a right to know about how my reproductive cycles are going (when that's something I normally keep really private), DD's been especially difficult the last week or so, & I have PMS, so I'm just a little oversensitive. Blah.

Anyway, taking Friday off work so DP & I can get ready for a garage sale this weekend. We desperately need to declutter & I wouldn't mind a little extra money!

[Maddalena]

Went to Obgyn. Got put on metforman! Can't wait to try that.

[tedcgh]

I don't know where I am. I thought AF should have came this weekend. No signs of her yet. All the tests are BFNs too. So I don't know if I didn't ovulate even though everything pointed in that direction. If I caught an eggie later than I thought was possible??? Or my body just up to its old antics. I guess DH will be a happy guy because we will just continue to DTD like crazy and hope for the best!

Good! DP said she felt tons better after going on the Metformin! & it definitely helped control her PCOS.

Yay! Fingers crossed for you mama! I think its ok to feel a little bit boo hoo woe as me starting your 4th cycle especially after a m/c. Not to mention theres a financial burden to ttc that many couples dont have to deal with. So feel free to wallow a bit lol!

Im glad you pushed until you got answers you liked. Sounds like a better solution than what that other guy wanted you on!

My husband would be quite agreeable to that solution.
