:::waves::: Hi, ladies! I'm new here! :)

lgsdesignerlgsdesigner member
in TTC after 35

Hi ladies!

I am new here, and wanted to introduce myself. I turn 35 in 3 weeks, so I felt this board was the best choice for me…very happy to be here! : )

I got engaged in April, am getting married Sept 6th, and we are going to begin the TTC journey the week of the wedding.

However—I AM charting already to see where my cycle is, and am very familiar with the basal thermometer, OPK’s and other forms of baby-making awesome.

 

A little bit about my background: I have two young children from a previous marriage. A 2.5 yr old daughter, and a 6 yr old son. Both conceived from charting. : )

We are going to have one more child together (my fiancé’ has no children of his own) and then we are done!

My fiancé’ and I are both weight lifters, and it was a pain in the butt fitting in my wedding dress with a back of muscle and glutes of steel, but I managed. ;)

I am very artistic and creative, and actually own my own design firm that does web design/graphic design/social media work.

 

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Also-- since my siggy won’t show up for some odd reason, here are some photos.

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)

    Welcome to the board! I'm sure you'll love it here! 

    And I hear ya, Sister, on trying to fit into a dress with a lovely V shaped back! They don't make dresses for muscular ladies. 

    Your kids are adorable and so are you and your fiancé!

    Welcome! Congrats in finding mr right!
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!
