TTC after 35

another newbie

OK...so I've been stalking the boards for a little bit and figured I should introduce myself. Just got married in September...my DH & I are both 38 and TTC #1 for both of us.  I know this is gonna be a long road but just reading some of the success stories on here have given me hope.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I have a CBEFM and use OPK's...I think I am now addicted to POAS :)

Re: another newbie

  • Hi welcome and congrats on your wedding...Good luck on this journey
  • I'm new as well--introduced myself over on the TTTC board. I too am your age and started out with a CBEFM. My advice is to keep an eye on your O day--if it's fairly early in your cycle, like before day 10 (or earlier), get yourself to an RE. As my RE said, it could be "noise," but it could also be a sign of decreased ovarian reserve. This is what happened to me, and I don't see the early O symptom come up very often in these boards so I thought I'd mention it. Hopefully you're totally fine and you'll be PG in no time!

  • Welcome.  I have been using the CBEFM for about 6 months now.  Our timing has been off about 1/2 the time due to travel but I really like it.  My temps are all over the place so I find charting to be annoying (at least at this point)  I am also seeing a RE and they are moving right along.  I am the one dreagging my feet b/c I am still a little hesitant about medical intervention.  GL!
  • Good luck to you! There are plenty of women who got pregnant within 6 months on these boards. I hope your journey is short!

    Good luck to you and your DH!

    Good luck to you. 

  • Welcome!  I too am addicted to all of those "toys".    :)

  • Hi and welcome! I've been charting since January, started OPKs in February and just started the CBEFM this cycle. I think the monitor is the most helpful. I think my temps go up gradually after O and I might not have as short an LP as I thought. We will see next cycle. For now I ditched the OPKs and am just using the monitor. The only drawback is I have long cycles and I have to use about 20 sticks each cycle. Hopefully you'll get your BFP soon! GL!
    Me: 44 DH: 42. DS born healthy at 40 weeks 8/24/09. TTC since then with no luck or ART. Surprise BFP 8/6/14... MMC @ 8 weeks 4 days... Miss you everyday sweet baby angel.
  • Thanks for all the well wishes!!  Good luck to all for holiday BFP's!!
