in TTC after 35
Thank Goodness for it being the busiest time of year so maybe I won't focus entirely on it. Anyone else in the 2ww right now?

I just entered the 2ww yesterday too. We have just started...this is our 2nd month trying (just married Oct. 16--I'm 38, so no time to wait).
Here's wishing you lots of baby dust and BFP's for all! Keep me posted.
Welcome to the board!
We have almost the same anniversary. DH and I got married last year on Oct 17.
GL to you!! Lots of baby dust back at you!!
Very Cool! One of my dear friends got married last year on Oct. 17th too. It's a great time of year for a wedding!
I actually have a ob appointment tomorrow. I am an over analyzer, but I only have 1 ovary (other had to be removed about 14 years ago) and at my age, I don't feel like I can afford to take chances. I had some strange crampling prior AF and weird spotting for 5 days after AF came. I never have cramps and I'm never early (which I was) and the spotting afterwards concerned me. Going to ask them to check my hormone levels to see that all are OK and check to make sure I don't have cysts or anything like that. I had my +OPK a little late this month too.
UGGGH for being a control freak! LOL

Lurker coming out to finally join you ladies because I'm feeling increasingly lonely in this journey...
I got 7DPO B/W done yesterday, and plan to get CD3 B/W done. I am a little nervous about getting the results. I was secretly hoping that if I merely started on the testing path then I would surprisingly get a BFP.
But, can it be that I already feel some PMS symptoms?!
Hoping some others have happy endings to this wait!

Dx: DOR and MFI
DH: low count + very low motility; hormones all normal; Sperm DNA Frag. test = poor to fair; male karyotyping normal
Me: FSH 13.4 + AMH 0.26 + hypothyroidism; Scratch the hypothyrodism (?); Blood clotting and immune panel all negative; endometrial biopsy normal

Welcome JoAnna, KZ2010 and mtlaurel.
Here's hoping that we all get BFP's. What a wonderful Christmas present that would be.
TTC #1 since 4/10, Dx: MFI IVF planned for April/May
It sure is great to have a group of ladies going through the same things...I definitely don't feel so on my own in this game of TTC.
I had a good visit to the OB yesterday--they did the internal ultrasound and said that there are no cysts or fibroids, my ovary (the only one I have) has eggs in it and they are confident that my hormone levels are good, as my periods are regular.
Although he did have to make me a little crazy by pointing "something" out on the ultrasound and say "well...that could be the beginnings of a little baby". I was like geez...I'm already thinking about this all the time anyway and now you say that. HAHAH Trying not to have any expectations as I was only 3 dpo. Guess I'll have my answers soon enough. AF is due Dec 23rd-ish. It's going to be a loooong week.
Hope you ladies are doing OK. Best wishes to all!
How are things with you Aurora? Hope you are OK and hanging in there!
Things are ok. Thanks for asking. I'm completely swamped this time of year, as I'm sure most people are, so I have been able to not completely obsess about this 2ww, but I am anxious. AF is not scheduled to arrive until the 27, but I am debating about testing on the 24th just to get it out of the way. That would put me at 11dpo, so I know I SHOULD wait, but not sure I'll be able to. I also really really really don't want to have to go to my first RE appt at the end of January so I have this cycle and next to see a BFP or I'm on my way there. Ugh.
Glad that you are doing OK. I wish I was busier this time of year (I am a manager at a beach resort), but this is our slow time, so it gives me puhhhlenty of time to obsess. lol
Maybe hang on to test on the 25th. That would give you the extra day and would be an extra special Christmas morning surprise! I don't know if I will test or just wait. AF is scheduled for the 23rd and we will be travelling from FL to IL for holidays with family. Plus...last night I start having cramps and have had them off and on all day today. So I think AF will be showing her ugly face early. Good grief...I haven't had cramps since I was in college and now I am 38 and a newlywed and I start having cramps like I did as a teen. My friends say that it is my husbands fault...we waited to sleep together till we were married and there has been A LOT of BD'ing since the wedding! HAHAH My pals say my uterus isn't used to getting poked around practically every day. LOL
If, by some miracle, AF doesn't show up, I will test on the 25th which will be about 12-13 dpo (I o'd late this month).
Do you have children already? or are you TTC your first? Saying lots of prayers. Keep me posted!
yeah, you are right. a bfn on christmas day would make for a dreary holiday, so here's hoping for a Christmas eve bfp!
ahhh a 16 year old....my DH has a 14 year old son. he's a great kid, but we are smack in the middle of the raging testosterone, so we never know which kid we're gonna get....the sweet one, or the one that pushes every button we have! LOL he knows we want to have a baby, and of course, he is totally grossed out by it, but he is wonderful with little kids, so i know he'll be a great big brother some day.
I don't think you ate crazy at all (obviously). you have found a wonderful man and you want to have a child together. you are still young enough to have a baby, so let the others say you are crazy. you are the only person who knows what is right for you!
i hope you have had a greeat weekend. here's to getting through the next week!
Yea, we definitely have Jeckyll and Hyde on our hands with her. But, she's a good kid, so it definitely could be worse. Thankfully, she is not grossed out by us wanting to have a baby and has been very supportive every month when I get the bfn;s.
Oh, I don't care that they think I'm crazy. I know what's right for us and it is having a baby. Now if God, mother nature, my body or whatever needs to would just agree and bless us with one all would be complete.
Hope you had a good weekend. How are the temps on the beach?
Had a good weekend. Lot's of running around and shopping and present wrapping. Some good QT with my DH. Looking forward to only working a couple of days this week and then hitting the road to IL to be with my family for the holiday. Trying to stay sane..I keep going back and forth, yesterday my thought was... I think I'm pregnant. TOday, not so much. Only a few more days and I will know. I'm proud that I have held out and not tested---generally not my M.O. I am not that patient.
THis morning it was 37 when I left the house, but it is supposed to be 59 today. YAY. We have had some way low temps lately. Quite a few days of low temps in the 20's. It happens some years, but usually not until January or February. YUCK. I hate cold weather...that is why I live in FL! LOL
How was your weekend?
Oh yikes. That is cold for Florida. I know the year we went to Disney World in early December it had fallen to 40's at night which everyone was flipping out about. But since we're from Michigan it was still kind of warm to us. Although while we were there it went back up to the 70's during the day and 50's at night.
Good luck on the drive up to IL. Hopefully all the nasty weather is done and won't impede your drive.
My weekend was good. Went to OH for Christmas with the in-laws. Always an interesting time. Fun, but interesting.
I'm impressed that you're able to wait on the testing. I'm having a hard time waiting until Thursday even though I know that it's really too early to test right now as I'm only 7dpo. Thursday may even be too early, but I'm probably going to have to test anyway and see. lol
Hey girl! I hope you are hanging in there this afternoon. It is sooo stinkin hard! I'm holding off...I don't think I can stand to see a big - staring back at me, so I'll just wait. Especially since I have been having cramps today. Very frustrating. My temp this morning was the highest it has been, but then the cramps come. I don't know what to think anymore. I know that I feel like I'm going to start, but praying that isn't the case.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hoping to see a BFP post from you soon!!
Lots of luck!
Hey. Not doing too well right now. I didn't test this morning, but now I'm having the same spotting I usually get a few days before AF shows up so I'm pretty sure it's not happening for me AGAIN this month. I'm just feeling really frustrated that it's taking so long and that my RE appt isn't until the end of January. I want that appt NOW so that if there's something wrong then we can, hopefully, fix it. Although, since insurance won't cover any fertility treatments I really would like to have it happen naturally so that we don't have to worry about that cost. But, we've put some FSA money aside for it, but it's hard to know how much to put aside.
Sorry, just feeling not so good today and feel like I'm getting to be a burden on everyone around me because I'm always so down every month when it doesn't happen. I really don't know how women do this for years. They definitely have my utmost respect for holding it together through all this.
How are you doing? Still cramping?
*apologizing in advance for no capitals and bad punctuation...we are driving and i'm on my phone.
i am sooo sorry you are have a bad day. i do know how you are feeling. i am praying that its just random spotting and not AF. i just said a quick prayer for you. i am with you...i dont know how ladies go through this for years. it is the worst feeling when you realize AF is starting. i know your family doesnt think you are a burden, but it sure is hard for anyone to understand how hard TTC i am just so glad that your hubby and daughter are so supportive.
i am doing ok. medium cramping off and on all day and night yesterday. when my hubby came to bed, i cried and said i felt like AF was starting. nothing yet. not much cramping today so far. my temps have consistantly gotten higher each day, so i just dont know what to think.
i know its stupid, but i am just afraid to take a test...i just cant take seeing the negative. so far i havent had any spotting, just the cramps. i just dont know how to distinguish between pms and pg symptoms. i'm just going to ride it out and wait until i'm a few days late to test. not unisual for my AF to be a few days late.
keep me posted. you always have all of us to vent to....we will always support you!
