TTC after 35
Options
Hi everyone
I am a returning poster. I took a few years off TTC to be a foster parent. My DH and I decided it was time to give this another try. I have PCOS and am overweight, so I know I have a few strikes against me, but at 37 I need to do this before my ship sails. I did the RE thing back in 2007/08 and gave up becasue they would not work with me becuase of my weight. They put me on Met and said lets see what happens. Needless to say I am one of the people who gains weight on Met. Not the way they wanted me to go. Now I am at WW and losing naturally and my cycles are coming back. Not normal yet, but getting there. I am charting again to see if I am Oing. Seems like I am but my temps are always low, so it is hard to tell sometimes. TCOYF and Fertility friend never seem to agree either which doesn't help. I loved the info and people on this board, so I hope you guys can take in one more newbie. I promise I will not bore you with newbie nonsense. I know alot from my years of TTC before.

My heart is as open as the sky.
Read about it on the blog
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
