TTC and 35 +, all those who are worried their ovaries are not as sprightly as before

[DarrellRivers]

After 18m persuading DH, we are finally (v gently ) TTc no 3.
As I am now 35, am convinced my fertility days are behind me.
Anyone in a similar position and needing to share support?

Thought I would ovulate today but still a high on my monitor.

Got some practice in lastnight anyway and who knows. I had more EWCM today.

Have bought vitamins, the book by Zita West about getting pregnant, have been drinking lots of water...

am really going to go for it in thennext couple of months.

Getting freaked out today - if I am not PG, I must be going down with something - last night, I had to leave my gym class (spinning) as I had no energy whatsoever and thought I was going to fall off the bike. Today at work, I've been feeling really dizzy, despite eating my sandwiches at around 11.30 and having breakfast, so had to go out and get more food

I've also been waking up with hot flushes for the past couple of nights. 7DPO and AF would be due in 4 - 6 days ...

The suspense is killing me !!!!

Well I don't think I'll need to wait until Sunday to test. I'm feeling a bit crampy so AF is clearly on its way

I didn't have high hopes anyway as 1st month of trying but crazily repsonsive sense of smell, heartburn and a succession of frankly mental dreams had made me wonder.

Hey ho.

this is why I hate this period, my PMT symptoms are very much like early pregnancy sore back dizziness nausea etc. so flipping maddening.
must set alarm for early tomorrow and go running to avoid the craziness as if

jools i know you say you are not PG but you are sounding either as if you are coming down with a cold or in fact having early symptoms, i wouldnt take a test yet as it is too early, but you never know...

With my CP last month, I had more "flutterings" down below, diarrhea and nausea for two days (7&8DPO) and one very minor instance of pink spotting on DPO8. I was a little dizzy, but not as much as this time

Who knows !! Am trying not to obsess and keep busy at work ! Am on 7DPO now I think.

Fingers crossed for everyone

Jools1, I too have been having periods of feeling faint. AF was due yesterday but I am scared to test in case it is a BFN!!
I think I will try to hold out until fri pm or sat morning...
But I, like you wasabi, am normally regular give or take 1 day, so it is rather strange.

I just can't make myself believe anything (although subconsciously I guess I am thinking I am pg) so I keep worrying every time I take a pee, in case AF has made an appearance!

Anyway, will let you know - if you don't hear anything for days, it means I am too depressed to log on!

Good luck wasabi! (and anyone else who is testing soon)

It all sounds good dharma, being late is the best symptom there is! Fingers crossed for you.

Fingers crossed for you Dharma

I'm still feeling really quite dizzy and odd. DP bought me a wine and soda in the pub on the way home from work - I just couldn't drink it and ended up with orange juice.

It is probably still all in the mind - had a lot of these symptoms at the same stage last month but I am sure my boobs are more painful this time.

Since when did time go this slowly !!

hi, hope you don't mind me joining in with the chat, i'm very new to this site! i'm 35 almost 36 now, got 2 boys of 6 and 7, been ttc for the past 3 yrs now with no luck, just had my first course of clomid last month, i got all exited when my period was 3 days late, had all symptoms that i thought were for pregnancy, but started yesturday!! it almost finished already and i still fell sick with very sore boobs going to pee constantly was really , but just got to keep tryng i guess, started taking second course of clomid again today so fingers crossed i will have some good news for my 36th bday when i'm next due, i just hope it not too late for me as my fiance would really love a child of his own, good luck to all of you in the same boat, hope it happens for you!!!

Hi All,
I like this thread as I don't feel out of place . I have been TTC for 10 cycles now...however my DH goes away for work quite a lot so for the last 6 cycles when I have been actively TTC he has been away for 4 of them - he is away at the moment (and had a postive OPK this morning...) but promises me after this trip it will quieten down...here's hoping.

Hiya summerlovin - Am on about cycle 10 too

have just got my peak on my monitor! Yay!

good luk with the Clomid Numpty

Welcome everyone
Finally fertilityfriend has put me down as ovulating D15, hurrah.
This puts me in with a chance this month hopefully
Good luck to all you people going to test soon
It all sounds promising
Here's to some more BFP to follow mummyontheruns.

good morning all

got my numbers right now first cycle back ttc
CD19 today cycle usually 30 days
unlikely to be lucky this month but hey

hi there just jumping on to say bye bye till wednesday, before i go i must tell you my funny story

i went to tesco last night and felt that familiar twinge in my side (OV Pain) so as it was 3 days early i bombed it back in my little honda, threw the shopping down and dragged DH out of the kitchen upstairs, shouting 'im ovulating hurry up' bless him he didnt have a chance!! he thought it was great (thank god) and loves this new little minx that TTC has unleased!

have great weekend everyone - the sun is shining and i have my shorts on

Ha ha summerbird - good story - good luck!

Welcome to the rest of you!

And so I finally did the test this morning - and it was a BFP!!!!

Obviously mega happy but now need to take things slowly - one day at a time!

wasabi - good luck with your testing on Sunday.

And good luck to the rest of you too!

And thanks to all of you for keeping me busy chatting over the last few months so that I didn't get too depressed!!

Will be checking up on you all from time to time!!

dharma congrats

best of luck to those testing soon lots of positive vibes

just got my freebie MN test but I feel it will be unlikely I get a BFP
it looks very fancy extra features Clearblue digital

So pleased for you Dharma

Fingers crossed my dizzy spells are meaning the same thing as yours

Oh congratulations, am going to read back and see what you did.

Have a happy and healthy pregnancy!

congrats dharma, wonderful news

Thanks v much for your congrats!

Beanieb - I really recommend acupuncture - I started it 6 weeks ago and I did it for ds1 also.

Spangles - you were wondering whether to do it (acupuncture, I mean!) and said that you would if I had some positive news this month - well there you go! It's the way forward!

Good luck all!

acupuncture is the way forwards it would seem

Is it hugely expensive? Accupuncture...

Oh Dharma thats great news, well done!

dharma - congratulations!!! good for you! best of luck for your pregnancy x
