TTC 35+ Thread 4 Cougar and Silver Fox Club

[Sleeeeeepy]

Yes it's Thread FOUR! Baby dust all round!

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!

What I thought was the start of AF has now stopped. Sorry if TMI but it was brown and more like a light flow on one pad but none after that. Somewhere between 6 and 9dpo if in fact I did ovulate, looked more like period but could it be implantation? Still a bit crampy so will see what the morning brings

@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.
I think I’m in shock...

Oh what lovely news 😁 and what a day to find out!!

@lucieloos

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?

I did it privately in January and it was crazy high (like 92. Something suggesting I have pcos but I don't) so who knows

@mouldygrapes Congratulations!!! What a fantastic day to find out!xx

AF now here with a vengeance, oh well!

Congratulations @mouldygrapes! Fantastic news x

@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 )

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 fab news, congratulations!!

@mouldygrapes congratulations 🥳

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

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

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

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

Welcome @Onehotmess I don't think you're crazy at all, I'm also 38 and TTC #3, I hope you get your BFP really soon

@Maddie020 No it shouldn't make any difference, otherwise no one in the Midlands (where I am) would have kids 😂

Excellent! How old are your 2 @Sleeeeeepy ?

@Onehotmess I have boys 2 and almost 4 so life isn't very relaxing! How old is your eldest?

My son is 9, daughter 6. They are both very independent so it’s going to be a shock to the system! 🤣

@Onehotmess I'm sure they will love having a little one in the family though. My eldest likes to point at my tummy and ask if there is a baby in there. Spoiler alert - it's just cake 😬

Haha true 🤪 @Sleeeeeepy @claireb707

Congratulations @mouldygrapes! Brilliant news 😊

DD said she wanted a little sister, I said put it on your Christmas list 😬 need that positive test 🤣🤣👍🏻 Tested yesterday 5/6 days before AF 🙈 shockingly negative.
