in TTC after 35
Hello Ladies! 

I am not not new to The Bump, but have been away several years. I was in June 2011 group and then TTCAL. My first pregnancy in 2011 ended 11/3/11. My second pregnancy resulted in my sweet boy C. He is now 4y 4m old and we are starting to TTC again. I'm 36, I'll be 37 in June. This is my 4th cycle ttc after stopping bcp's. I am currently in my 2ww and thinking everything under the sun is a symptom. I am going to start temping this next cycle and never have before. I have been using FF to track everything else. I look forward to supporting this group however I can!

    Welcome! I was in March 2011 with my DD. Good luck in TTC. I'm also 36 and TTC #2. I got a bfp in December with our loss. We were trying 6 months by then. Hoping to get back on the TTC train this month. I'm not tracking as it drives me crazy.

    @vlagrl29 I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope your ttc is short lived & you get a bfp soon! I've never tracked before but I feel like I will get obsessive about it, so I don't know how long I will.

    Welcome! I am also 36 & ttc #2. We've been trying for about a 1 1/2 years now and have had 2 losses during that time. FX that you won't need to track for too long! I go back & forth with the whole tracking thing since I get absolutely nutty with it. I do try to at least do the opk to make sure that our timing is more or less ok.

    Some people love tracking because it helps them know what's going on with their body. I tried it and didn't like it. I'm just trusting my body at this point and if you think about it if you have sex 3 times a week there should be living sperm in there all the time assuming they live up to 5 days.

    @amu1234 I'm sorry for your losses! I am going to try opk as well next cycle and see how it goes. If I get too nutty I'll have to stop! lol 

    FX we can pitch the opk's soon!

    @katekate628 welcome!! I think we have all gone through the symptom craziness. . I'm in TWW now and trying hard not to read something in everything lol! ! This is my 2nd month charting and must say it makes me feel a bit better. . As if I now have some kind of control *eye roll for myself *  anyway FX that your stay here is short and sweet.  :-)

    @DeeVeeZee thanks for the welcome! That little bit of "control" from charting may help me focus less on SS maybe? I'm just concerned the past 3 months I didn't O so that's why I'm going to try opks and temping!! FX for all of us!!

    It may make you feel better. I used opks for 3 months and charted 1. It showed I ovulated. Now I don't do any of it. I can just tell by CM what's going on. I don't check it internally though. Just what comes out.

    @katekate628 exactly - for me charting means that I have something to look at and compare - plus I have real porridge brain a lot of the time so I forget things - this way I can double check myself :-)
