TTC after 35

Hi! New to this Board.

Hello! I have been hanging out on ttgp for the past few months, mainly lurking, but also trying to contribute as I am able. I am always mobile (my H and I live so far out in the sticks, internet service is not even an option), so I don't have a cool siggy or the other bells and whistles.

I am 36, my DH is 32, and neither of us has children. We just got married a little over a month ago, but are currently in our 3rd cycle trying to conceive. We (mostly I) have an incredible hound dog, who has been with me for eight years now! He is my baby-- the most spoiled bluetick ever to be! We also have an 18 yr old deaf kitty, five chickens, and a rooster! We both are introverted and love the outdoors, but that is where our commonalities end! I'm a painter and H (is currently employed) but looking for a career change.

ETA: I'm probably being long-winded, but the Bump mobile has been acting nuts lately. The rest of my post:

I have no idea if we have any fertility issues, and I'm not trying to borrow trouble, but there is always that fear! We're hoping to be fortunate enough to conceive without interventions (currently tracking CM, BBT, using FF) but only time will tell!

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all over here-- what is up with all the ridiculous women's health terms the medical community has-- AMA, senile gravida, elderly prima gravida?!?! Ugh!

  • Thanks ladies!
  • Welcome!
    me:41   dh:43 
    Off Mirena Nov 2013, On Nuvaring end of Jan, Back off Sept 2014.  Never ending cycle starting end of Sept... 
    11/14 Provera failed... cycle continues 
    12/14 High FSH (57 "midcycle")  OBGYN had no clue... about anything 
    01/15 More lab results coming back from RE. U/S showed small (1")cyst on left ovary, thin lining, and couldn't locate right ovary so  possibly straight to DE and IVF 

    Occassionally mess with the chart below to see "what if" and learn (not to make it pretty but because FF stays drunk with me).

  • Welcome - I'm also new to the board this week as well.
  • Hi!! Welcome to the board. Glad to have you but hope your stay is short :)

     

    I sometimes wish I lived out in the sticks but then you say things like no internet service and it scares me away lol

    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site. 



  • Welcome!  This is a great group of ladies and I hope yo are only here very short time!

  • Welcome and good luck.  I politely requested my doctor not use the term elderly prime in my chart.  Since she was an over 35 mom, she agreed.  I think she used AMA, but for some reason, that one doesn't bother me as much as elderly.  :)  I hope your stay here is short!

  • Welcome.
    Best wishes with ttc. If you have no luck in 6 months then you can see your dr if you want to know if anything is amiss.
    I love that you live in the sticks and have animals. I would love a small farm. But alas I live in the berbs.

  • Welcome I hope your stay here is short and sweet.  I grew up in the middle of the sticks, as in on top of a mountain in WV.  I live a little closer to town now so I have internet now, so I sympathize with ya there.  
  • Welcome! I'm always on mobile, too...mostly bc I bump during my commute and at home DH hogs the computer playing sim city, ha!
    Good luck with the baby making :)
    36, DH 31 TTC #1 since we got married, July 2014. http://FertilityFriend.com/home/522fa4/
  • Welcome!!
    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! 
  • Welcome!  We live out in the sticks too and can only get internet through the mobile phone.  I bump on breaks and when things are slow at work.  :)
