TTC after 35

Clearly I don't have much to do tonight, so a couple of Bump observations

2 things that have been nagging at me to post for some time now...

Does everyone  have the "hot topics" box at the bottom of the Board screen? Mine has had for at least 6 months "Husband weirded out by sex...", "Eating more junk?" and "hungry or stuck?"  I have never clicked on these, but I would think that there could be more hot topics that have come up over the last 6 months.

 the other thing that bugs me a little bit is those emails that I get each week about how to get pregnant. They really should take the people on the TTTC boards off of the mailing list for those...I know they can't but it's just a tad bit annoying.

 

TTC since 3/2010. Me 41, DH-49. After 3 years, 6 IUIs and several IVFs we have finally have our beautiful baby girl, born on 11/7/13.



Re: Clearly I don't have much to do tonight, so a couple of Bump observations

  • HA! I get annoyed with the pictures of real women in the hospital after they give birth. Why are they always the same women? Can't we get some new pics up in here?

    I think this means we're on this site way too much.

    But sometimes I get sucked in. I did read the dumb write up of "what to pack for the hospital." A robe? Duh.

     

    Me = 38, Husband = 31. TTC since 1/10. M/C at 8 wks 5/10. Started trying again 9/10. All tests normal: AMH/MIS, FSH, HSG, SA. Estradoil high. 6/20/11 - Clomid+Ovidrel+IUI#1=BFN. 7/17/11 - Clomid+IUI#2=BFN. 2 natural cycles = BFN. 10/6/11 - Clomid+Ovidrel+IUI#3=BFN. 10/31/11 - Clomid+Ovidrel+IUI#4 = BFN. 11/26/11 - Follistim+Ovidrel+IUI#5 = BFN. IVF#1 - Menopur+Follistim. 2 ET 5/11/12 = BFN.
  • Haaha I was just wondering about that hot topic section myself the other day!

    ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

    DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN  DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!

  • I completely agree with you!   The how-to and pregnancy tips emails are awful, and their timing seems particularly crappy.  And... if you actually click on the husband weirded out by sex post, it's from like 2007.  Confused

     

    (ok really just from April, but come on!)

     

  • I think my eyes glaze over on the Hot Topics box, and basically anything that isn't a board post. I agree on the weekly e-mails. It especially sucks when even though you don't read them, you know that you're getting repeats of messages sent out months ago. That's when you really know you've been Bumping too long.

  • What I don't understand is why they can't push different ads/promos to the TTC boards.  Un, we're not going to be setting up baby websites or doing other pregnancy-related things at the moment, thanks very much!

    This!!  Have some common sense Bump website people...ads on the TTC boards should be for OPKs, etc!
