TTC after 35

Hello! Finally an intro

Hello ladies-
Been lurking for a while and I really like the vibe and support on this board. I hope you'll accept me in this group :)
I am turning 35 in a few days and DH is a few years younger. Trying for #1 for both- we've tried about 4 months with decent timing spaced over the last year (we travel a lot and so did what we could but are more serious about it now).
I charted one cycle but it made me pretty crazy so I think I'll leave that aside for a few months and maybe just temp to confirm O after that. I do Use OPKs.
Otherwise I have used accupuncture over the last year and it has really helped me sort out My cycle.
Anyway, wishing all the best to you ladies and nice to meet you!

Re: Hello! Finally an intro

  • Welcome! I travel a lot for work too and was wondering how I'm going to manage that once things pick up again in September. 

    Which OPKs do you use and how do you find them?

  • I use the wondfos and confirm with a digital. What do you do? I am pretty good with isolating O because I get pain too. Temping is not good for my particular brain...but maybe I'll give it another try in the fall if necessary.
    Ugh we can commiserate on traveling and TTC. It's such a pain! Even next week I'm leaving CD7-12. Shohld be fine as I tend to O a bit on the late side but still!! You never know and it makes me anxious. Hate missing more cycles because of travel...sigh....

    I just started Wondfos, but temping (triangulated with a dash of stabbing pain!) gives me an idea ex-post, so to speak.

    Yes, traveling and TTC should be interesting... Someone needs to invent thermal, TSA-approved cups for sperm-to-go! :p
