TTC after 35

Introduction- Warning children and CP mentioned

Hi All,

I am a long time member of the knot/nest/bump but have been away a few years. DH and I recently decided to TTC our third child. We are both 38 and our two children are 8 and 5. I started lurking here because it has been a bit since we have TTC and I am now over 35!

Last month was our first month of not protecting, and two days after AF was due, I got a faint positive on a cheapie test. After that I could only get faint positives that grew fainter on FRER's and this morning AF arrived. So, I guess it was a CP. :( So, I am now enjoying my second champagne flute of Cupcake Prosecco (best ever!) and telling you ladies what only my husband and I know.

Glad to be among others sharing this journey and fx for you all!

  • Thanks ladies! @PoeMasque, I have not tried that. I had a bad experience with a homemade moscato once, but maybe I should give the bubbly one a shot. ;)

  • @Vastra Thank you! I'm trying not think too much about last cycle and keep positive this time around. BUT if AF decides to show I sure will take comfort in Cupcake Prosecco ;)
