I feel like I don't totally belong anywhere...

Tisharp

I'm now officially over 35 and my husband and I are basically not not trying.  Meaning, we're not using any BC.  I charted for 6 months of last year, but it made me crazy, so I stopped.  Now I just keep track of my periods and I do also keep track of sexytime.  But, when I was temping and all of that, I just made myself crazy with it.  It was consuming me, so I had to stop.

But now, since we haven't been trying FOREVER like some, and I haven't had to go through fertility treatments (yet) and all of that, I feel like I don't really belong anywhere on TB.  But I'd love to find a board with women who are just starting TTC and are basically at the same place as me.  But that doesn't seem to exist. 

I've posted a bit here and there on TTC after 35, but I feel like my "problems" are so miniscule compared to some there, that it almost seems like I'm being flippant about it when I post.  I'm not, but that's how I feel.  Like, I don't have real "problems" yet, so it seems like a slap in the face to some who do.  And, so I rarely post.

Have you tried the Babies on the Brain board?

I had never heard of that board... and the link doesn't seem to work?

It's on the left below Attachment Parenting

Thank you!  I swear I looked over there and didn't see it.  I guess I don't know my alphabet today!  lol

You can also try the TTGP (trying to get pregnant) board. Not everyone on there is actually trying right now.

Hi there,

Just wanted to say hello. My screen name is my maiden name but I'm a Payne too Anywho, someone already suggested the TTGP board which I'd say is a good start. I've been in bump limbo myself too....my husband and I "technically" have only been TTC since this month but we've not been preventing for over three years and I have extensive endocrine issues so I know I'm a trouble case...but I am only facing my first round of meds and possible IUI so I dont really belong either   Oh well, most people on the boards are polite if you're posting in the wrong place and they'll let you know.

 

Good luck!!

I feel like I am in a similar situation to you. I tried the babies on the brain board and did not love it. I hate the idea of charting it seems confusing at stressful, I am 31 and we have decided to start trying this month, but we have been not not trying for a year and a half. Just wanted to know ur not the only one feeling out of place
