Hi everyone!
I'm excited to finally be TTC'ing at the ripe old age of 35/36 (I'm the older one). H and I just got married on the 14th, and we're not waiting! We really want to have children and we're ready for them now. This is the first marriage for both of us, and we don't have any other children, though we are aunt and uncle to many kids and love them all.
My mom had a really hard time having children, and I'm worried I'll take after her. She had my brother at 32 and me at 37, with a late m/c in between. There were other early m/c's, but honestly I haven't asked for that history. Hopefully I'll take after my dad's side of the family, which is large and rife with twins.
We're only two cycles in at this point, and this is the first serious go at it. Last month I assumed I would O around CD14 and we planned around that, but nothing happened. I just started using OPK's this month. With a 27-day cycle, the kit told me to test at CD11, but I gave it a shot a day early and got my positive on CD10. The next day was negative. So we gave it a try on CD9 and CD10, when I had the EWCM, so maybe something will happen. H works 24s and won't be home until well past the O, so we can't go again for good measure this time.
I'm planning to buy a thermometer and chart BBT next month, but who knows... maybe I'll get lucky.
Re: Hello! (an Intro)
Temping and cm are really important, not everyone woman has a 28 day cycle and stress/sickness etc can delay O so if you keep a close eye on cm you will start to know your patterns and once you see the rise in temp you know you have O'd but once y

Welcome!
Is it weird and strange that I'm jealous of your EWCM? Gross? TMI? Maybe that's the wine talking...
I hope your stay is short. I have just started temping again this month as well.
