TTC after 35

intro - loss and DS mentioned

Hello all. I'm 34 and will be 35 (and AMA - ugh) very soon. If I got a BFP tomorrow (not happening, thanks AF), I'd be AMA before the 1st trimester was even over. Can I hang out here???

DS #1 is 11 months old and was a BFP just 3 weeks after a loss. I used FF, CM, temp charting, etc to catch the egg. DH has been chomping at the bit for baby #2, pretty much since the OB gave me the 6-week-check after DS#1. I've been a little more hesitant to start TTC. (DH isn't the one getting up at night to BF!!!) I said we could start trying at the 1 year mark. That is approaching fast! I am ready now, minus a reservation about my work demands. However, those aren't changing and I don't want to let my career dictate how many kids we have. We want 2 or 3. After losing our first one, we don't want to put things off too long.

So, I guess we've "officially" been TTC for 2 cycles now, then AF came 2 days ago. Blah. FF says my fertile days are early next week, but AF has been a little wack-a-doo while nursing. By wack-a-doo, I mean a 25-26 day cycle until we started TTC. Then, for fun, she decided to switch things up to a 29-31 day cycle. Thanks.

Re: intro - loss and DS mentioned

  • Hi and welcome!  Sorry to be oblivious but what is AMA?
    Wow, just 3 weeks after a loss that sounds amazing and super quick!  My cycles are different every month, it mostly depends on the stress/travel etc in the follicular phase.  i just had a 24 day cycle but usually it's around 28-36. ha!  i use BBT and OPK.  and just started feeling my cervix.
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April

    AMA means Advanced Maternal Age

    It is a lovely, big, giant flag that gets put on your OB chart when you hit the magical age of 35. At least I'll be old enough to run for President though, right?

    Yeah, the OB was even shocked at the BFP 3 weeks after a loss. She had me come in to confirm the loss (nothing big enough to see on ultrasound). Then she had me come back a few weeks later to make sure it wasn't twins causing high HCG levels. It wasn't.

  • Welcome to you.

    I have to be honest that you are making me a little anxious with the AMA talk. Let's just pretend that we are 29. ;-)
