TTC 35+ Thread 4 Cougar and Silver Fox Club

Just a question ladies... we went to have Indian tonight and since coming back, my stomach is burning, I bet it's that hot curry ... would it impact implantation if I have conceived? I am on 8 dpiui

Wow @mouldygrapes what lovely news and perfect day to get that line 🥰

Hi all, sorry if I’m jumping on your thread 😬 I’m 38 TTC #3 after 6 year gap. Crazy?! Probably! We only DTD once and I think on actual o day so not liking my chances but will see how it goes. I had awful indigestion 2/3& 4 dpo which I know is too early for symptoms but the only time I’ve had it before is when pregnant. 7 dpo now (all rough estimates!) when does everyone test?! Go to all and congrats for the BFPS X

So I got to Thursday and realised it was CD13 and not only had we not DTD but I hadn’t done any OPKs either! It’s been a hectic week. DH too tired on Thursday which was a bit frustrating but DTD last night... CD14 so maybe within the right timeframe? 🤷‍♀️ those saying they are frustrated with their OH I hear you! Those with sub-optimal results that’s so tough but don’t give up hope. It’s amazing what they can do via IVF and even with low sperm count, at the end of the day, it only takes one! So many highs and lows with this whole TTC thing.

Awesome news @mouldygrapes so pleased for you. Understand there will be some nervousness too. x

@mouldygrapes congratulations 🥳

@mouldygrapes fab news, congratulations!!

Thank you all! Still not sunk in, I keep looking at the test.

@Sleeeeeepy ah, sorry about AF. Hope the next cycle evens out a bit

@CC81 no I don’t mind at all. I’m 37 in November and had my coil out in May.
Hopefully a sticky bean, it’s so early that I can’t help be a bit anxious

@mouldygrapes - Lovely news, hurrah! So pleased for you. xxx

How long have you been trying? Do you mind me asking your age? (Just interested/nosy )

Congratulations @mouldygrapes! Fantastic news x

[quote mouldygrapes]@Sleeeeeepy I’m no expert but sounds like it could be implantation bleeding 🤞🏼

So here is the FRER I’ve been saving to do today especially as it was meant to be our wedding day.

We should find out on 22 Sep whether or not our clinic thinks we should try IVF.

@selina37 - Think we're in a similar place, as I'm nearly 39 and my recent ultrasound scan revealed that my egg supply is probably low (only 5 antral follicles detected - supported by elevated FSH). Not a surprise, but discouraging.

But I do apparently ovulate monthly, so I have similar chances to everyone else, for natural conception. It's just that I wouldn't necessarily make a good IVF candidate (as it requires a good egg supply).

Those with weird periods - I had a month earlier this year where my cycle was DEFINITELY influenced by stress. It changed all my timings and massively confused me. That's the problem with the TTC process - it's a bloody vicious circle!

@CurlyNo2 I'm sick of hearing my husband saying he's got supersperm 🙄 I've not even had a period yet since implant removal yet he thinks he's amazing. He seems to think it'll be a wham bam thank you mam and it's starting to get on my nerves seeing as I've had nothing but pain and bloating for the last 3 weeks x

I was 36-37 but the chances of getting pregnant at 41 with ivf are quite a bit higher than getting pregnant naturally even with no issues so you have every chance. Have you had your amh tested?

Does anybody else feel really frustrated with their partner over the whole TTC.

It feels as though we are totally out of sync. He is raring to go on my non fertile days but not interested on my fertile days. To be fair, he doesn't know when they are and I don't tell him as I don't want to put pressure on him but I get so frustrated.

He hasn't a clue how the female body works and that their is only a very short window of opportunity. We were very lucky conceiving our son so I think he thinks its 'wham bam thank you mam' and you're pregnant!

Sorry, I'm just so deflated. I know I am ovulating as I have the tell tale signs i get (significant one being pain ovary pain) but he is too tired. Another cycle missed as we last DTD on Tues so there is no chance.

Sorry, I just needed to moan

Sorry to hear about the results @claireb707 we have dealt with poor sperm too. We did ivf with icsi though and we now have 2 lovely children so it can happen even though I know it's not the path you probably want to take. We got into the mindset that once a baby was here it wouldn't matter at all how they got here and it really didn't 💛

The doctor I spoke to 2 weeks ago said that as soon as she gets the results of his bloods early - mid next week she will check everything then send off the referral to the sub fertility clinic. After that I'm.not sure what happens and no idea what the wait is either.
