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?

Jools I think the same way now. I honestly never knew when I got pregnant (we hadn't been trying so no prior knowledge from threads like this) just what the reality was. We told friends and family when we were about 7 weeks on. I would never do that again. Sad isn't it how your innocence and joy gets taken away.

darrell, glad to hear everything ok. i'm however feeling that this whole ttc buisines isn't going to work for me! had second folicle tracking scan today, they confirmed that i released 2 eggs, but it looks like the clomid has made the lining of my womb thin, doc said that it would make implantation very difficult!! they said i have to take 3rd month of clomid with more folicle tracking scans to see if it happens again and if it does they will have to put me on other tablets that won't thin the lining of the womb! i just don't see why they gonna put me through another month of dissapointment, why can't they just change the tablets now if it then that causing the problems? this all just seems so hopeless!!! anyway good luck to those of you that are still trying, i have my fingers crossed for all of us. x

I just did a test and it has gone to so faint I practically couldn't see it, plus I am now getting periods pains plus some more spotting
I feel resigned to my period is coming, i feel at least i know which way this is going, so am back with you all
It's funny, I am a bit gutted, but my DS pulled over his old chest of drawers yesterday, and thank goodness, he didn't get caught under them otherwise I'm sure he would have been seriously injured, but it made me realise, i need to be pleased with the things I've got

oh Darrell I really hope it is OK.

Thinking of you Darrell, and hoping it is just a dodgy test

oh Darrell I hope all is ok for you.
God the up and downs of ttc....we al go through so much.

so sorry Darrel these next few days are bound to be rough be kind to yourself big hug

Am going to buy several new shoes, some boots and shoe boots
not exactly what i wanted but it may well help
and if i look at it, am still only CD35, so if I hadn't have tested, I would think this was a long cycle

and have now tidied up all the toy boxes so am feeling virtuous

So sorry to hear this Darrell, like Jools I have my fingers crossed it's a dodgy test
You are having such a tough few days, look after yourself
Glad your DS is ok.

Hi everyone
I am back again (some may remember me) - unfortunately I had a MC at 6 wks.

Glad to hear all the BFPs that have been happening recently.
Darrell - I am keeping my fingers crossed for you

Right - well I guess I have got to wait a fair while until I get a normal AF so I think I can safely say I will be on this thread for at least another few months!!

Dharma
It's such an emotional rollercoaster
You are in my thoughts
And for everyone else's lovely messages, it is lovely to be able to share this with someone.
You just can't talk about it to many people can you

Oh dharma, so sorry to hear that, sending you positive thoughts (if that helps)

And DR, really hoping things turn out OK - emotional rollercoaster isn't the half of it!

Dharma, so sad to hear your news
Thinking of you x

So very sorry Dharma

We're dropping down the board!

Darrell how are things? Anyone got anything else to report?

Feel more normal, hormones clearing out of my system, don't feel like giving up all together like I did on Tues/Wed.
May just be more relaxed now though, no temps, and just see what happens.
How is everyone else, we need some more postive stories I think

So sorry Dharma

Darrell - glad you are feeling a bit brighter

1DPO for me now and already trying (and failing) not to obsesss symptom spot

I ovulated early this month, either Thursday or Friday I think going by the ovulation pain. Not overly hopeful.

Hi everyone, just checking in as been offline for a while at SIL's wedding in Norfolk. Firsly, Darryl I am keeping everything crossed for you that this turns out to be one of those funny little episodes you have at the beginning for no reason whatsoever.

Dharma, I'm so sorry to hear about your MC. Big virtual hugs to you. I'm on CD20 but not sure at all when I ovulated which is unhelful to say the least. I always thought I knew the signs but last month confused me totally - I thought I knew but then I was so late. DH and I had a BDing fest when I felt the time was right anyway - it's sooooo lovely. We haven't had that amount of bedroom action since our honeymoon!

Anyway time will tell but my instinct is no as I just don't feel pregnant. I bought some ov sticks at lunchtime for next time. We'll see.

Noticed we're dropping down the board! How's everyone feeling?

Hi all, in the 2WW again. Think I ovulated last Tuesday - got the ferny patterns under the microscope anyway. Since then have been obsessing over possible signs. Have had some cramping feelings, plus discharge just like the ovulation egg-white stuff. Then last two mornings very early (4ish) have felt nauseous (only up because DD crying). Have had headache today. Then I just wonder if I notice these things only because I'm looking for them IYSWIM.

Far too early to test yet, but am having to forcibly hold myself back

How's everyone else doing (been a bit quiet out there)?

Lionstar - symptom spotting is a bugger isn't it! I have come to the conclusion that a lot of my phantom symptoms are just related to the 2 week window - my sense of smell seems to get stronger in that time for instance. So wierd, I think its something to do with progesterone.

I ov'd around the same time as you I think so we will both have to resist the call of the Clearblue. I got my freebie test through the other day and have had to hide it so it doesn't keep saying "pee on me" !!

LOL, I can hear mine calling me too! I have put it downstairs in the living room behind the DVD player, about as far as I can get from my usual peeing locations Having it in the bathroom would be fatal.

Well, not a good time for me at the moment I'm afraid. My youngest cat was knocked down and killed last night, one of the neighbours came to say and as I dashed out I turned over on my ankle, I think with the adrenalin I just kept going but I have broken the outer bone in my foot so in a temporary plaster for a week until the swelling goes down then get a proper weight bearing one and hopefully get more mobile again.

I still can't believe I've lost my little Poppy, she was the sweetest best natured little cat and never went far I can't believe she was on the road. I think it must have been instant though, there wasn't a mark on her, she just looked asleep. She loved to play with her toys and would just purr and purr if you cuddled her. We took her to the vets who are arranging a private cremation so I know the ashes are just her. I will put a pic of her in my profile.

I was meant to be going to hospital for my CD21 test on Friday but no chance now as can't get there and DP is busy all day and with taking today off can't take me. So that is another month delayed on my tests.

Sorry for the me me me post I just feel wretched about Pops.

Really sorry to hear about your cat ClarePo It must have been a horrible shock I have Siamese cats and was happy with them and they are my child-substitutes . I couldn't imagine losing either of them, although lost a third to old age in November. My mums Siamese was killed on the road last year, so I have some idea of how you must feel.

At least it was instant
