TTC 35+ Thread 4 Cougar and Silver Fox Club

Thanks @Sleeeeeepy I really hope it doesn't take that long but what will be will be I guess. I completely agree that women should be fully aware of the full effects before it's prescribed

@Hocuspocusandfairies I'm glad I can be of some help, I have an incredibly supportive partner but ttc can still be a lonely process at time's!
My last pregnancy was a complete surprise and I'd never really given a thought to how difficult ttc can be until I met my partner and began our ttc journey, we've not been trying long in the whole scheme of things but I went from years of 'I'm not having another child' to completely 180 and it's literally all I want in the world now
Fingers crossed the inositol is doing its thing and it won't be too long a wait

@Semele5069 hope af stays away!!!
I had some spotting yesterday morning at 9dpo. Nothing since yet. Af not due til 4th for me but I do usually spot for a few days before it. Still trying to convince myself it’s implantation when I’m starting to get the usual cramps 🙈

Angelchops, thank you so much. I'll get some. I was turned down for clomid due to my age. I conceived with clomid with my first child I know I ovulate late in the 20s. Hopefully this will help.

Hmm, still no period this morning after a tiny bit of spotting last night but a BFN! It's due today or tomorrow but I don't feel the usual warning signs so fingers crossed it stays away and I'll test again in a couple of days is so.

That was supposed to read *was convinced I was pregnant for about 3 months running

@Sleeeeeepy nope I had no periods while on the depo which at the time I thought was amazing! I wish I'd been more informed about the horrible side affects when coming off it before I'd had it done, I felt rough for months and was convinced i was for about 3 months running.
My last one was due end of March but that's when we finally decided to ttc so didn't have it. Can I ask how long it took for your periods to come back?

@Hocuspocusandfairies myo inositol is a supplement that helps regulate ovulation and it's also supposed to boost fertility by quite abit. I read a lot of articles and research papers about it and I really didn't see any down sides to giving it a go.
I'm only a few weeks in but can already feel it having an effect, even my resting heart rate is more stable. Pics are of the one I take it's easily available on Amazon, and some info from google

Oh FFS, just went to the loo and noticed a faint bit of spotting. 9DPO here and was expecting my period this weekend-looks like its coming. Cycle 11 of TTC overall and cycle 3 since MC. Getting so sick of this. I do everything right every bloody month!

@claireb707 and @LT103 best of luck ladies. I'm going to test from 9DPO onwards I think. Obsessing over watching 9DPO BFP videos on YouTube tonight lol. I have a BBQ next Fri at 9DPO and don't wanna have any alcohol if I have the slightest inclination I might be PG x

@EJay84 I’m 9 dpo. Started spotting this morning. Was jut the once and nothing since but this usually means af will be here in a few days. Will poas tomorrow morning anyway just in case 😂

I'm 5dpo now, partner had his SA done this morning.

How's everyone doing? Anyone in 2 WW? I'm CD16, Ov CD14 and have DTD the past 7 days in a row lol. Fingers crossed we caught a wee egg x

@Highlandmama I think about that all the time. I used to buy this pregnancy tests panicking that I was pregnant. Now I buy pregnancy tests panicking I'm not pregnant.

Angelchops, I haven't heard of that. What is it and where do you get it from? I'm willing to try anything. The fertility doctor queried polycystic ovaries but never fully confirmed it. My cycles are never the same amount of days. My most regular cycles tend to be in the late 30s early 40s.

Hi @Angelchops30 I can relate! I spent most of my 20s terrified that I would get pregnant and then my early 30s terrified that I wouldn’t! Hope we won’t have to wait too long

@Hocuspocusandfairies, I've recently started taking myo inositol to try and regulate myself as I too have very irregular cycles and haven't had one since stopping the depo injection in March. I definitely feel it's doing something. We aim for every other day but sometimes more sometimes less, I don't want it to become clinical

Thank you Angelchops, we're trying do do it every other day! Because I have irregular cycles it's hard to pinpoint ovulation. It does become a chore though.

Welcome @Highlandmama
I'm also 37 ttc #2 my dd is late teens so I've spent many many years being careful in not getting pregnant now I'm very impatient for it to happen 🙈

Hoping I can join you guys? Just turned 37 and ttc no 2. 21 month old currently asleep beside me and AF just arrived! This will be 3rd month of TTC this time. It took years and a lot of heartache to conceive no. 1 but we are now ready to try again! Would love some support! Baby dust to all!

I broke this morning and took a test (earliest day I could and friend visiting for the weekend so wanted to just check before we have wine 😂) BFN. Not surprised but can’t help feeling a bit disappointed even although AF isn't due until Tuesday/Weds so not out yet

@Hocuspocusandfairies Welcome!
I'm fairly new here too although have been following a few threads. I'm 37 and ttc #2
