in TTC after 35
Here's a little about us. DH and I have been together for 3 years and got married in October, 2011. We decided to start TTC right away because I'm 35 and we want 2 children. Cycle #1 was a "see what happens" cycle, and we got a BFN. Cycle #2, I charted to see if O occurred. It did, according to the BBT, which really made me happy, btw, since it was only my second cycle off BCP, but another BFN due to the fact that we barely even touched each other most of the month because we were both sick, sick, sick. Stupid sinuses! So here we are, on Cycle #3, day 5. I'm still temping because I want to make sure I'm ovulating on a regular basis. Temps have been crazy because of illness, but I expect them to regulate soon. I'm on a stronger antibiotic now and am actually starting to feel better.
So this cycle... watch out!
As I said before, I'm 35 (in November) so that's a concern, as you all know. I'm also overweight, so we are working on that. We've set a goal to run a 5k in the spring, so we have several months to work up to that. We are also eating better and will be starting back with our regular dog walks as soon as we are both feeling better.
Some days are better than others. Some days, I'm feeling pretty good about TTC and telling myself that it takes healthy couples up to a year to make it happen. Other days, the slightest change in temperature or something else that feels a little "off" will send me into a spiral of worry and fear. I go online and read about all the people who are having trouble and it really scares me. We don't really have the money for treatments and they are not covered under either of our insurance policies. I know I'm jumping the gun worrying about that now, but it's just something that happens inside my head. I know you know what I mean. So yeah, I'm just trying not to think about it too much. Being on here will certainly help with that, right? lol.

Thanks, ladies! I know in my head that I shouldn't worry yet. But my heart wants this so badly and I know how many things can go wrong. So every once in awhile, I start to become terrified!
Charting has been fun, though. Am I the only bizarre one who looks forward to seeing what my temp is each morning?
