TTC after 35
Options

Checking in

Hi ladies. I took a short break from the board after having a little breakdown after my last cycle. I see a couple people have gotten their BFPs which is awesome! I'm about in the middle of my cycle, just waiting for a positive on my OPK. I'm getting the hang of when to test and actually being able to hold it for 4 hours :. I hope to have a successful cycle, but if not, I have an appt with my OB on November 14th and I assume she may choose to get a little more aggressive in TTC.

That's where I'm at. Trying to take care of myself and keep my anxiety and stress to a minimum.

Wishing success to all of us!! hugs

    I know what you are feeling, I'm about to breakdown myself at the moment. Sometimes I wish I didn't chart then maybe I wouldn't get my hopes up so much when temps look great. BFN's suck!!

    Good luck this cycle. hope you see a + opk soon!!

    Welcome back!  Sorry you are having a tough time.  It is a mental and emotional roller coaster for sure!  be kind to yourself and try to stay busy with other things.  I know it is tough!

    I am on CD1 today... cycle 7. ugh. I didn't breakdown...just numb. I go see an RE next week to get a plan and get more aggressive.  I never in a million years thought I would have to do that.
