TTC after 35

Really into it now....

Ok Ladies, I just wanted to share this! Firstly, thank you all so much for your posts and words of inspiration and knowledge! I am learning SO MUCH from being a part of this board!

So I am in the 2WW from my last ovulation cycle. The good news is, I REALLY feel like I'm on the right track now, thanks to your info. I got my BBT thermometer about a month ago, and I have faithful with it. I got my Wondfo Combo pack from amazon.com. Well, doing those tests and taking my BBT daily and charting using my FF mobile app, I got my first confirmed ovulation!

Even if I get a BFN - which will still be disappointing as heck - I feel better knowing I'm totally on the right track now. My only question now, is when should I try to see a RE? We've been officially TTC since 06/12. However, he worked overseas the majority of the year, so we only had 3 cycles last year and 3 so far this year (he's home permanently now, so we're good each month).

I had 4 children before (from age 23 until my last at 30), basically no problems at all...getting older is a trip, isn't it? lol

Re: Really into it now....

  • Generally to see an RE its 6 months of actively trying, so I don't know how you should gauge your time! That is hard!

    but good for you for getting all ready and into TTC!! have fun with it too!

  • That is really tough to know. They say 6 months for 35-40, and 3 months for over 40, so I think you can do whatever you're comfortable with.

    Have you done your preliminary blood work, HSG, etc? I was able to do that with my OB, so you might want

  • I agree with the other ladies.  I like the suggestion of talking to your OB first and seeing, if you can start there and get a referral from them.  Then, before you start any tests with your OB, call the RE office to ask about the tests and w

  • If this 2WW, really being positive here, ends in a BFN, then I will definitely schedule an appt with my OB to go to the next steps. I've had an HSG, but no bloodwork as of yet.
