TTC 35+ Thread 2 Cougar And Silver Fox Club

[Loladoodle]

New thread for you ladies. Let’s bring on the Bfps!!

@ChicaXS it's completely understandable why you are feeling like this.wish I had the answers 😔. Googling does more harm than good sometimes. Have a nice glass of wine🍷and try to relax a bit.

I am also 37 and pretty sure there are loads of women our age having babies. I know it may be hard to cope seeing others with their new born or toddlers ( bare in mind we don't know the struggles they may have had conceiving) Lots of people would say you are still at a great age to have a baby. I believe so too. I don't know much about pcos so can't really comment on the effects on pregnancy or ovulation. Sending you lots of hugs 🤗

It's always better to have a rant/vent than to keep it bottled up. It will happen for you. 🤞🏾🤞🏾 🙏🏽😊

@chicaxs
Great thanks so much

That's mine

Didnt check again that day it was high didnt realise to do it xx

@ChicaXS sorry you’re having a bad time. I think it’s natural to feel a bit bad when things aren’t happening the way you want. I’m 38 and i def don’t think it’s too old to conceive or have a baby so don’t give up hope. Stress will affect everything so I agree. Pour a glass of wine and put it out your mind for a couple of days. Have a nice date night with the oh and relax as best you can. 🤞 things happen for you soon

@ChicaXS try not to stress. We had ivf for both of ours but had a lot of my eggs taken at 37 ish and they will still mainly good and in general even though it might take longer you should still have a pretty good chance of conceiving. I have the same worry just turning 41 and now the odds are definitely stacked against me but I want a third so much I don't know what's the best thing to do in the limited time that we have. I don't want to have any regrets further down the line.

Hi @Chlo2701 and @M4v3r1ck.

I’m feeling good, had a nice weekend. How are you both? I’m on CD20 and possibly 12DPO.

I’ve definitely been a little wetter but I also no that can be result of coming off the pill. I do feel that my areolas seem slightly larger... could be my imagination...

Got DH on nipple watch! He’s delighted!

Sorry to hear you’re having a crap weekend @ChicaXS. Like @LT103, I’m 38 and hoping we all have plenty of baby making ahead of us. :)

Try to find something nice to distract yourself with. Hope you feel better soon

Hey @ChicaXS sorry to hear you're having a bad time- hopefully get a good night kip,tomorrow is a new day...never know whats round the corner. I dont know much about PCOS,must be really hard and add to the stress and worry.
I'm another 37yo - have done that same googling believe me! sounds like we are all in good company...and dont blame yourself for not trying earlier, still time for good things to happen! dont be hard on yourself.x

I'm in the same boat but older. I'm 41 in a couple of weeks but really want baby 3 and I know that probably sounds crazy as I know how blessed I am to have 2 already especially with the struggles we went through with many ivf rounds to get them but I can't help but feel there's still one missing. Part of me thinks we should dive back into another few rounds of ivf but we really can't afford it not even on a credit card so the other part of me thinks we should just try naturally as apart from crappy sperm which now seems to have improved a lot we never identified any other problem but I really don't want to be another year down the line and it hasn't worked naturally and then the chances of success with ivf are also very small. I just don't know what to do for the best.

@lucieloos @LT103 @happyhappy37 @leftitlate37 @FridaKFangirl thank you ladies so much. I needed to hear the reassurance- just feeling extremely insecure. I am trying to de-stress but it’s literally the only thing I think about- it’s totally consumed me. I think once I hope to start ivf I’ll be in control a bit more but right now I feel life is in slow motion.

I am relaxing with a funny Eddie Murphy movie - tomorrow is another day and hope and prays it will be better than the weekend x

@ChicaXS are you going ahead with ivf? Is it because of pcos?

Hey ladies! How does the weekend go so fast?!

@ChicaXS sorry you're having a rough time! 😘Google is definitely the worst! But I wonder if that's due to a lot of older opinions on fertility and pregnancy influencing that, whereas now we're seeing more modern articles taking into account advances in medicine/science and our better lifestyles etc, vs "back in the day"! 🤔

@Matilda19 love the Moroccan theme! 😍 How's the new puppy settling in?!?!

@Chlo2701 @FridaKfangirl my cycle triplets! 😃 This is my first post-ovulation/pre-expected-AF following coil removal, so I'm overthinking everything! I've got the odd weird/stab feeling (not quite cramps), feeling a bit wetter, and boobs are tender! Sorry TMI to everyone else! 🙈

@M4v3r1ck.. my boobs haven’t been tender but they’ve been way more sensitive to touch... if you know what I mean...

Aw @ChicaXS 😔 I had a totally down day yesterday. It's all consuming, I know. I'm 39 and see lots of my school friends on FB having babies, and others who are older. As hard as it is to see, it gives me hope. Try not to be too hard on yourself. We've got this! 💓

Girls, I bought a mooncup! Going to try it next FW to keep the sperms in! Apparently you put it in afterwards and can leave it for up to 12 hours.

I bought it for this specific reason, and didn't think I'd use it for periods. But I tried it for size 🙈 and it's actually very comfortable; can't even feel it!

I'm definitely feeling wet at the moment, to the extent I had to do a double take in case I'd wet myself somehow 😂😂.

Not felt sick today which is a bonus but not had much appetite

I'm 41 in 3 weeks and really wishing I'd got rid of ex and met partner a lot earlier 😩 we've been together almost 5 years but only decided to start trying last year

@claireb707 ahhh sounds like we both have a very similar birthday and both about to turn 41. Let's hope we have lots of luck!

I think I'm out, temps have dropped for 3rd day in a row 😢😢😢
Damn stupid body, cycle 11 it is then

@claireb707 aww sorry your not feeling great try stay positive until af arrives you got chance x

@FridaKFangirl that's a good sign about the wetness & nipples🤞🏻
@M4v3r1ck that's good signs for you aswel!!
Im feeling abit deflated, long story, but found out last night my child's dad is having another baby & this woman is 6 months pregnant already! He's only just had one with another woman a month ago!
He's repulsive & treats women like sex objects, can't even look after the 3 kids he's got already! He doesn't deserve children, he's a vile human being. Narcissistic psychopath! Best thing I ever done was pluck up the courage to leave him 10 years ago!
Just feels so unfair that I'm here in a loving relationship & can't get pregnant & he's spreading his seed everywhere getting women up the duff!!!🤦‍♀️xx

Morning guys. I can't believe it, I got a BFP this morning. Tested on my due date last week and nothing, am now CD 31 and still no sign of period so tested this morning and it's positive. Obviously very early days so trying not to get too excited!

I also feel very guilty as went to sit in a friends garden this weekend and had way too much to drink as I was totally convinced it hadn't happened this month.

@Chlo2701 aw i feel for you..
My ex now has 6 kids 2 to me 1 to a random he knew short period. 2 to an ex before me and then another 1 he hid from me when had access to kids.
My son came hone said played with baby his daddy my daddy! Was awful.. Worked out the lass had same name as me very weird..
He was a compulsive liar stole lost ny house made us homeless little one was 4 months old at the time..
He now has 6 kids sees none of them and continues to get people pregnant.
And like you im with my fiance love him dearly and were sitting waiting

Fingers crossed for baby dust xxx
