Hello :)

I'm 36 (37 before the year's out). Started trying for #1 in March. Got BFP in April but disappointly miscarried in May.

Had various gynae issues since then but all clear now so we're good to go again :)

Am currently waiting for aunt flo (cd30) - am sure she's on her way!

Am trying to keep positive and not feel under pressure. I do though.

Come and join me, share your story and we can support each other on our journey :)

I'm in this situation. 35 nearly 36 ttc number 1. Spent do long trying not to get pregnant due to life issues that it's ironic it seems so difficult now :) Started ttc in may and have gradually been getting more obsessive about it since.
I work in a really lovely hr team where people come and chat to me about loads of stuff. Ivf is so common, unbelievably so. I think many work colleagues are oblivious to it, or just assume women are hypochondriacs. No one seemed to pick up on it in any of the many teams I work with. I had no idea how common it was until I started working here!

Hi nancy

Sorry you got aunt flo yesterday :( I hope you have a much better month ahead.

My work is pretty flexible re appointments etc. I made the mistake of telling my colleague who I sit next to re m/c etc and now she regulary asks me how ttc is going :( the pressure! My own fault for not keeping trap shut in first place...

Hi Brummie

Sorry to hear about your 2 mc's :( that's shit.

I started off all enthusiastic and excited and was really happy to fall pg so quickly but m/c at six weeks just killed my enthusiasm altogether :( am sure you feel the same...

Hi Patience

Mine here we go:
Nancy77, 37, TTC #1, Since Sept 2013. Just had AF visiting me yesterday after first IUI session.
Planning to do another IUI or IVF, can't quite make our minds up..
Finding taking time off from work quite stressful, does anyone else feel like people at work wonder what you up to when you take a few hours off here and there? Am I just too worried about these things?

I've just had a stressful past 1 month with job/IUI/Exam for work qualification. So hopefully next month I will be more relaxed.
Have decided to go spiritual and take up some acupuncture sessions...

As Lenny (Kravitz) said, It aren't over till it's over...
