It’s time for a new thread for a lovely bunch of ladies supporting each other through our TTC efforts, possible IVF plans, possible alternative life journeys and adventures with or without babies after the age of 35. Think that about sums it up Grin

@BambiOnIce80 @79andnotout @CNizzle @VenusStarr @QuantumGirl @Carley321 @Wannabemum38 @Russkispy @Kescilly @Laney79 @Weathergirl1 @Pinkywoo @birdbybird

I’ve included everyone who has posted on the last four pages of the previous thread. Hope that’s o.k as I know some of you have graduated to another thread, but still like to check in and apologies if i’ve missed anyone.

Lots of luck to everyone at whatever stage we’re at 💕

Hi all. Can I join this thread? I’m 37 and we’ve just decided now is the time to start trying. I don’t really know what I should be doing as I haven’t engaged with it before (I’ve been putting it off for years...). Does anyone have any tips for vitamins I should be taking, anything else I should be doing? I am quite fit and healthy generally. Thanks! Smile

Swife · 17/02/2020 06:35

@Russkispy thanks for the encouragement🥰

@Gupster NP☺️. During these times positive vibes are always needed.

Gupster · 17/02/2020 18:26

Ladies need your help, is there a second line or am I wishing?

Russkispy · 18/02/2020 08:10

@Gupster I can see on FRER and IC. As HCG doubles every 48 hours, I'd test again tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Gupster · 18/02/2020 08:16

@Russkispy thanks, I can't see it on ic at all. I've ordered some clear blue non digitals to try tomorrow

PixieN · 18/02/2020 08:30

Gupster · 18/02/2020 16:39

So tested again with another brand of test and the second line is clearly visible and darker than yesterday, will test again tomorrow morning and still trying not to get excited but I definitely think it's real 😁

Hi everyone.

I would like to join this thread too. Brief facts:
Age: 36 in two months
TTC #1, six months so far
Hysteroscopy to remove fibroids- June 2019
Laparoscopic surgery to remove even more fibroids- 17 Feb 2020
Other issues: PCOS. DH still undergoing tests.

I am now in recovery and have been told I can start trying again after three months. Working to recovery and lose more weight during these 3 months..(have about 8kg to lose before I fall on normal weight). It has been very informative to follow everyone's journey on this thread and look forward to participating and I hope for my own BFP in 2020!

Swife · 19/02/2020 05:19

Welp... I'm out this month 🥺. Af just started. Good luck to the rest of you ladies 🧚🏽‍♀️.

Gupster · 19/02/2020 07:32

@Swife oh no, so sorry. Grab yourself some chocolate and wine, pick yourself up and try again, sending you love xx

Gupster · 19/02/2020 07:33

@Russkispy tested this morning and got another faint line, I'm going to wait til Saturday and hope the HCG levels have risen

Russkispy · 19/02/2020 07:59

@Gupster yes, perhaps stay away from testing now. And wait till Saturday to retest. When is AF due? Have you got a FRER for Saturday? Rooting for you here!

@Swife sorry about AF Sad

Welcome to newbies Smile

Gupster · 19/02/2020 08:05

@Russkispy AF due tomorrow. I have two clear blues for Saturday, one normal and one digital, will keep you updated

Swife · 19/02/2020 09:21

@Gupster only thing missing is the Chocolate 😂. And not to celebrate too early but🎉😁🎊🍾(I'll pop the bottle)! This is your time!!!!
@Russkispy thanks I'm a little disappointed but I think I know the issue. It may be that my CF is killing the sperm. I want to get Preseed this month to see if that helps because I noticed that I never get egg White cm😊, but we'll try again next month.

PixieN · 19/02/2020 10:26

Sorry to hear about AF @Swife Sad Tentative congratulations @Gupster 🤞🤞🤞

Welcome to the newbies and best of luck 💕

Russkispy · 19/02/2020 11:13
