TTC after 35

Getting closer to TTC

Some of you may remember that DH and I have been discussing TTC in light of his mother's illness.

So the official decision is:

1) Take folic acid for a couple of weeks before throwing out the contraception and then get to it.

2) Because I still haven't gotten my period back because I'm BF DD2, we're just going to let things evolve until the end of June, when I'll look to wean DD2 if still no period.

The reason for waiting is that I really don't want to wean her, so any excuse to delay, but that DH is studying until the end of June, and I think weaning the night feeds could be a bit of a two-man operation, and it would just be an extra stress on him now.

So essentially we're going to start TTC in a couple of weeks, but with no period in sight I don't have any great hopes, and it's impossible to do any kind of charting or timing sex etc. So we'll just have to wait and see.

  • Hope it's ok to respond here. I just wanted to mention that I weaned both my boys during the day and I was lucky that once all their day feelings were gone they just stopped waking at night so there were never any late night crying sessions. Food luck w
  • That is exciting to know that you have a game plan in place and some time to get things together.  Have fun in the process and maybe, you will get a BFP without even trying....  ;)

  • I understand the not weaning part. Alexis is 22 months and she was nursing lots until I had my polyps removed and due to the surgery we partially weaned. My period was back all along though just had polyps that prevented me to get pregnant.
