TTC after 35
Wait for it....wait for it...
I am currently on CD 12. Going by my last few cycles, my husband and I are trying to guesstimate when I'm going to ovulate, and thus try to time our BD'ing so it is "just right".
It's funny, I know how silly this would sound to any normal chick...but to those of us trying to make a baby it makes absolute sense. EWCM, LH, FSH, O'ing, DH, BFN, HSG, SA and so many more...not to mention of course the ever-illicit BFP ...all terms that I am sure most of us are intimately familiar with. Yet I have found that throughout this process of trying, then trying to find out why it's not working then trying again I don't have any friends who can relate to what I've been going through. Most of my friends already have children, and those who don't are single and more interested in hot guys and cocktails than babies. So the "I get it" factor is just not there...sigh.
I guess I just wanted to throw in my two cents and put it out there that I think each one of us is experiencing the same frustration, anticipation, excitement and disappointment. But I'm really grateful that we have the forum to express ourselves (somewhat anonymously) and create systems of support. Here's to a wonderful month full of positive energy, positive holidays and positive pregnancy tests.

Welcome and good luck to you.
I know exactly how you are feeling...I told my sister (who is 30) to go get her eggs frozen tonight because I never want her to go through what I am right now...I think she thought I was nuts.
You may already know this, but check out fertilityfriend.com...it is a great place to keep track of your cycles, and your temps if you choose, to help you guess when you may O.
This is a really nice post.
Welcome to a great board. Hope your stay here is short!
