I Knew Nothing!

in TTC after 35

Hi, I've been researching and reading many message boards about ttc, especially after 35 and finally decided to join one! I'm 38 and have remarried last September. DH and I have been wanting a child for some time and started "trying" when we married. I had one son in 91' and a mc in 2007 which they had to remove one of my Fallopian tubes. So here I am. I just started reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility and realized "I Knew Nothing!!!!!!!!!" I just started charting my cm but have to wait until my next cycle to start taking temp. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :-)

    Welcome and good luck! 

    My suggestion is to go to a Reproductive Endocrinologist after 6 months of TTC.  Hopefully you won't make it to 6 months but just in case.  I also suggest asking a lot of questions here and reading a lot of posts.  The more educated you are the better off you'll be.  I'm very involved in decisions regarding my treatment and love the fact that I feel like I have something to add.  My RE also seems to appreciate that I have knowledge to back it up.  I've learned so much from the ladies here and on TTTC.

     


    After more than 2 years of fertility treatments, FET did the trick!
    IVF March 2012 - BFP! - Severe OHSS = 8 days in the hospital in kidney failure
    No heartbeat at 10w6d
    FET August 27,2012 = BFP!
    It's a boy!

    Thank you! I hope and pray my journey is short and successful! I never realized how much about conceiving that I had absolutely no clue about!
