Re-intro

in TTC after 35

Pretty sure I posted here when I started this journey, but thought I would say hello again (now that I am officially 35 :) ).

Still holding out hope this month (trying since December), but had a cp 3 months ago and it seems that my cycles are not as regular as they were before hand, so not really sure when I'm "late" now.  So far, its ~14 dpo and all bfn tests.

I overheard a conversation at work yesterday that made me smile.  Two men I work with were discussing TTC and charting, OPK, etc etc.  Was just nice to hear since DH hasn't really taken an interest in the specifics.

Hope everyone is having a good week!  Hope to be more active here!

Edited:  Also wondered when/if we should consider visiting an RE?  It seems that we did get pregnant in the past, so wasn't sure if the 6 month rule over 35 counted?

    Welcome back!

     Yes, I think for women over 35, they recommend seeing a doctor if you haven't conceived after 3-6 months.  Not necessarily an RE though, you can probably start with your OBGYN and get a referral to an RE if they feel it's necessary.

    Cool that you heard men discussing this topic.  That certainly does seem to be rare!

    Hi Dear :) I am new to this board.. TTC for 2 years. We didnt see an RE until immediately after our wedding in Jan 2012. Some RE's have a criteria that they like you to meet - so they may waver from this: They say to see an RE if you are 35 and have been TTC for 6 months. If you are 40 or over, then see an RE right away. Again, these are not hard and fast rules.

    Thanks all.

     I think if this cycle isn't successful, I will start to chart.  I have my yearly ob/gyn appointment in October, so maybe I'll wait until then to talk about any testing or further steps.

    I was just coming to re-intro myself.  I haven't been on The Bump much in the past month or more. 

    I think it would be a good idea to start charting, to get a better idea of your charts.  I also highly recommend using opks.  I fought it for a long time, but finally broke down last cycle and started using them.  They do wonders for being able to get a true handle on your o date.

    Welcome and best wishes to you.
