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?

I had DS1 at 36yrs and now 9wks pregnant with #2 at 38yrs... thought it would take ages as i've had endometriosis before DS1 but here we are again.... good luck with your TTC3

Hello, can I join as well... I am 36 and just starting to look forward again and thinking about getting back on the TTC road again after unfortunately having a missed miscarriage at 12 wks recently.

Have 2 dc's already and having read the thread think this is where I need to be! Hope to get to know you all better soon.

Hello..I have just found out I am pregnant...it's for the 11th time...
before you all think I'm living with 10 children - I'm not.sadly I have had 6 mcs and an ectopic endng in ruptured tube and emergency surgery...
But I do have 3 beautiful dds and would just love to complete my family with one more child....

best of luck everyone _ I can't believe I am pregnant again after the ectopic in May but I am keeping my fingers crossed that this one will work out...

Hi all,

can I join, I am 38 and ttc dc2. Took about 2 years last time so expecting a long wait.

mayl - sorry bout your mc lets hope this thread lucky for us.

Please can I join too? I'm 35 and have been ttc #1 since January this year

Hi Jclaire,

I have been trying since May. Hope you not getting disheartened. Good luck.

where is everyone on their cycle. I am CD7 so next week is the big BD. I have brought OPK ready and we are going to London for weekend so hopefully timing will be good. Anyone testing soon? We need some good news.

Hi, anyone out there,

Am on cd 24, getting anxious now because last two cycles were only 25 days (am usually 28 days), so praying AF doesn't arrive over weekend. All please keep fingers crossed.

Mind if I join? I'm 36 (37 in Jan)Got ds age 4 yrs. Have had 2 m/c and one ectopic. First month trying again. On CD25. Feeling hopeful. Don't know why

Hello LL pleased you are ttc again

Hi Scorpio Thanks It's been a really difficult year but I feel ready to try again. I do lurk now and then, so I know Millie is doing well. How are you?

Hello, would you mind if I joined your thread? I am really in need of some friends who are TTC too. I'm 38, and TTC DC2 after having a termination at 14 weeks (please don't judge me, but the baby was Downs and had a heart defect). Despite having the termination 8 weeks ago, I've still not had AF, which makes trying to predict OV impossible, since I don't even know whether I am or not. To make matters worse, what I thought might be pregnancy symptoms turned out to be an umbilical hernia, whatever the heck that is. So now I have to have an operation, and I'm panicking as it's bound to make AF come even later. My god, maybe the termination has thrown me into early menopause. And obviously the guilt over the termination is making me convinced I deserve it. If this all sounds too depressing for your thread then by all means tell me and I'll try to find one called 38 And No Hope Left or whatever (weak attempt at humour). Otherwise, I'd love to join and hear some happy news, and hopefully offer support to those with less happy news. Thanks v much...

Ahem.............and what exactly are you doing on a ttc thread????

er... ttc

Sorry sunnydale i think she is talking to me must have just cross posted - LL is very nice and an old 'friend'

Nothing ....honest

Though im not over 35

OMG BFP this morning

Yay!! Already??

Yeah hope it's sticky. You trying again?

Congratulations - hope its sticky for you too!! DH pleased?

Yes, we are

Blimey Scorpio you will have a football team at this rate

Not good news this evening. Have had spotting. Trying to be positive but it is very hard

Congratulations ladylush! Keep your spirits up. Spotting doesn't mean anything by itself. Good luck.

How are you today, LL? Sorry to hear of spotting.

congrats ladylush

Anyone use opk? i have posted this on tons of threads but i need some reassurance. I did opk last month and got pos on CD16. This month i am CD17 and still no pos. Used same brand. Did test at weekend in morning and then we went away and couldn't test until sun night. Could i have missed surge. Would it come and go so quickly. Anyone know? please! help! xx

Feeling down still but trying to stay positive. No pain, but still orangy/brown stuff when I wipe. Sorry if tmi Worse thing is, I know there is no point going to EPU at only 4 weeks gestation cos they won't see anything. In the past my body has dealt with m/c in a very inefficient way, so I face a waiting game either way - and a lengthy wait before ttc again
