Intro (and LO mentioned)

in TTC after 35
Hi Everyone,  I was on the boards nearly two years ago, when I was PG with my now 20 month DS and now we are getting ready to start TTC #2. So, here's my intro!  I'm almost 38 years old and DH is 35 years old.  We are late to the baby making game because we both were in crap marriages before. We went the non-traditional route of having a kid and then getting married (1.5 years ago).  I'm also still bf'ing DS and have only had 4 periods since he was born!  But the last three were 28 days apart so I'm hoping that means I'm ovulating.  My plan:  I bought some ovulation test strips and will start using them on cycle day 10.  (I am either on cycle day 5 or 6, depending on what I count as the start of my period, since it came at night).  I'm cutting out all caffeine and alcohol, starting today, and I started prenatals on CD1.

    Hi, Carebear...welcome!
    I was also in a previous crappy marriage and so was my fiance. We are getting married on Sept 6th, and I have a 2.5 yr old DD and a 6 yr old DS. We want to make one more since he has no children of his own, and we want 3 total. 

    I wish you the best!

    Welcome! I too was in a crappy marriage - for 7 years!  Found my dreamboat at age 32 but we didn't get married until I was 35. 36 now (2 months till my September birthday) and this is the 6th month of active trying for #1.  Fx for us all that our time here is brief!  xo
    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
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!
