I keep waiting for someone else to post first ha ha ha... but I guess Ill do it

Rita from Santa Cruz CA

TTC #2 for a year and a half, 1 CP and 2 MC's.... AND a BFP yesterday at 10 DPO! I posted in the TWW thread but I know not everyone will look there... so OMG yay! But also super nervous because of my last three losses.

This last cycle I quit coffee for the entire cycle, added Maca to my diet, drank pomegranate juice and fertility tea, took COQ10 supplements, and of course the daily prenatal.

Im 11 DPO, I will have Betas done on MWF next week to see if my levels are rising appropriately. I have an ultrasound scheduled for April 7 when I should be 7W3D. Thats the part that has me nervous since it was at the ultrasounds the last 2 times that we realized we realized the baby wasn't developing properly so Im dying to see a strong heartbeat this time.

Feeling hopeful! If I make it through the weekend I can rule out a CP. Then its just tracking my HCG until the ultrasound. I may go a little crazy during that wait. Its seriously a month away, ugggggggghhhhhh.

Weekend plans include swimming lessons for DD and ordering take out for dinner ha ha. I cooked last weekend so I'm taking this weekend off

@rspalding001 - I pretty much take every weekend off re: cooking. lol We're terrible with eating out a lot on the weekends...lunch, dinner, you name it.

Jenn from PA

TTC#1 on and off since 9/2014

I'm taking prenatals, monitoring CM.

Possibly 1 DPO.

This is the most hopeful I've been in a while because it's the most we've been BDing and also H is initiating and taking charge of it, rather than it all falling on me. I have my first RE appointment on Wednesday so I'm hopeful for that as well.

Tomorrow H and I are taking his mom shopping. I do enjoy hanging out with her but it gets very tiring because she has to look at everything in the store it seems. Other plans include some spring cleaning I think...mainly cleaning the carpets now that the puppy is house-trained.

1. thistle8677 in Oregon

2. TTC #5 (#1 for fiancé) since 8/2014 (recurrent loss)

3. Prenatals, Vit. D, omega-3's, CoQ10, calcium/magnesium/zinc, opk's, preseed, Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet (it's been almost 4 weeks now), lots of stretching and some yoga poses, Epsom salt baths, castor oil packs up to ovulation for myself and fiancé.

4. Cd 6. Last cycle was only 25 days, so I have no idea when I'll O. Gonna start opk's on Sunday.

5. It will be interesting to see how this month goes. I don't expect to magically conceive, I guess now that we're going on 13mo since the last time I conceived I'm feeling like until I get to a dr to get my hormones in check, I'm kind of out of the game. Currently I do not have the insurance I need to see the naturopath or RE, so we are talking about eloping in the next few weeks, if only just to have our marriage documented with the state, and then keep it to ourselves until we have our actual wedding. I don't know. I have mixed feelings about that. Part of me secretly hopes I get pg without any need for having to force nuptials at such a stressful time. We've really been through it lately with my man's health.

QOTW: No real plans for this weekend, I need new makeup so maybe a mall trip with one of my childhood besties that happened to move out here a little after I did

I could use some girl time.

Looking forward to beta updates!

Jen from Oregon

TTC#1 since November 2015

prenatals, BD every other day from CD 8-18

I'm on CD 14

We are in the thick of buying and selling a house and I have been sick for the last two days. I'm not really hopeful about this cycle due to stress levels and my not sleeping well the last two nights. Plus I'm to the point where I'm sure something is wrong with one of us. My SO was supposed to have a SA done last week, but with all the house stuff that has been delayed.

This is my weekend on at work, but I'm debating calling in. So I will either be working all weekend or sleeping. Ha.

****** ticker warning ***********

I was in the TWW last week, and got a BFP! So I'm hopeful that @rspalding001 and I are both going to have little ones come November. I had a miscarriage between my girls, so I'm now just trying to calmly(!!) wait until ultrasound time to see how things are going in there.

I wasn't sure about posting on here after only being here 3 months, but some other ladies convinced me I should share. Thank you guys so much for being here and supportive over the last couple of months! Hopefully there will be lots more movement over to the pregnant > 35 board!

rspalding001 · March 2016

Congrats @MollySm ! Im so excited for you. And I think we literately have almost the exact same EDD

fingers crossed for us both!

thistle8677 · March 2016

Last time I checked in, I was still benched and waiting for 2nd normal AF before I could get back in TTC game. AF arrived couple days ago, so now WTO. Hearing the BFP successes keeps me positive
