Well it looks like I get to be an ambassador from the 35+ club! I'm 14dpo and had a faint positive yesterday, very clearly positive today. I just celebrated my 38th birthday and have been trying 5 months to TTC #1. I'm feeling cautiously optimistic, but I also know the statistics and this is SO early (I'm not even 4 weeks out from my last AF), so I'm not ready to let down my guard quite yet. But I want to say thank you all for your support. This board is full of some incredible-sounding and strong women, and I wish each and every one of you all the best on your journey!

Feeling kind of hopeful but I don't want to get my hopes up yet. We had that amazing full moon eclipse going on the night of my o. I had positive OPK from 2 different companies. AndI asked God for me to get under a certain weight as a sign that TTC is the right decision. I missed 3 wks of WW and was sure I blew all my work, but when I got on that scale I was 2 ounces below the number I had asked for. And my mom is in Italy and I'm sure praying for a granddaughter.
No symptoms yet but this would be pretty soon.
@dolphin012, all my fingers are crossed for you!
I'm 1dpo/dpiui, and feeling hopeful. Only one follicle this cycle, and sperm count was a little low at 8 million (frozen donor sperm), but it only takes one of each, right?
I was going to take the next few days off to go to a local burn (mini burning man), but decided that self care required rest, and heat and a/c, so we canceled our plans. I still have the days off work, though!
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!
fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP!
Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
A family friend also just delivered her little guy a few weeks early on Tuesday. She was single when she got pregnant (donor sperm, artificial insemination) and just had her 40th bday a few weeks ago. Those stories are always encouraging, I think, so I'm hoping her new little guy spreads some baby dust over all of us here!
