TTC after 35

I feel like a teenager.

I have to try and sneak out to buy a stupid hpt.
Kids are off from school and my husband works till 8. I don't want to tell him to pick one up because he has anxiety issues and I don't want to give him undue stress. If I tell him I'm late and it turns out I'm not pregnant it will not be good for him. So I have to try and figure out a way to get out and pick up a test.
I doubt it will be positive as they never are but alas I am past when I usually get my period so I must suck it up and test.
I wish I was a POAS addict and just had a stash on hand.
Maybe I will just wait till next week when the kids are back in school. That would eliminate my stress.
Ugh. Why is this such an issue for me!!!!!

Sorry rant over.

  • The only time I leave after he gets home is to go to the gym with his mom. Her back is out this week so I've been working out at home.
    I guess I could just go by myself, there is a dollar tree next door. But it's in the negative degrees here at night lately so going to the gym will be torture. But I guess I will have to do that.
    I hate this. I don't wNt to get my hopes up thinking I will get a positive. And going through all this to just get a negative is going to hurt.
    Ttc sucks.

  • Yes, that does suck!!  Do you think you can hold off until the weekend?  You are CD 25 now right?  How long was you long one in November again?  

    @flyliceandcoffee  I was just about to put an APB out for you to see how you are doing. Check in on the TWW thread so as we not hijack @hooligans4 thread.

  • @flyliceandcoffee‌ is more than welcome to hijack my thread but I want her to start a happy news new one!!!!!

    @sonpetitlapin‌ I am cd25. Novembers crazy one was 36 days.
    Yeah I could definitely wait till the weekend. I do my grocery shopping then so it would be easier.
    Thanks for talking me through this. I swear I'm a scatterbrain when I'm late!!!!

  • Yeah, being late is crazy. I am normally 30-31 days and I was 34 days (I think) this past cycle.  Nothing like your November, but one day late and it is 100 times worse than the TWW.  Even though I don't temp. my mind start going nuts...maybe I O'd later and I can turn a stick pink yet.  Oh it is maddening. HUGS

    Have you thought about possibly temping again to get baseline to see what your body is doing?

  • @sonpetitlapin‌ I havnt temped in years. It tends to make me nuts. My husband has issues with ED so knowing that I O'd and didn't have sex is not good for me. So now I just try and have sex during the week after my period. That's when I always O'd when I did O.
    My cycles were crazy after I had my son 10 years ago and my doctor said I had PCOS. But when my cycles regulated I confirmed ovulation so after a while I stopped temping.
    At this point MH and I are just in the "if it happens it happens" frame of mind.
    But I REALLY want it to happen.

  • I'm going to get a test today but I don't think I will need it.
    As I was checking my CM it was a little pink tinged (but still thick and creamy) so I think AF is on her way.
    I will test in the morning if I don't start bleeding by then. That will be CD 27, so I no doubting whatever the test says.

    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).

  • Well it's a BFN!!!!
    I ordered opk's yesterday so I can try and figure out these long cycles. This is now the second one in 4 months.
    I have my annual checkup in May so I guess I will ask for testing to see what the heck is going on.
    Thanks for all the support and well wishes. I wish I had a different outcome :(

  • I'm so sorry.
    Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

    Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

    UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....
