ttc after 30's Journal (original) (raw)
Hi,
This seems to be a dead community, so I thought I might try and revive it...
Just wondering if there was anyone else similar to me:
I am 35
newly married
TTC for the first time (starting in January)
Just returned to LJ after a 16 month hiatus
Looking for friends...

for how long have you been TTC: This is our first cycle!!! We'll see how it goes!
Hello all! I've got a question about charting my date of ovulation. I've been charting for 8 mo and now TTC for 2mo. I'm using fertilityfriend.com to chart and the last couple months my ovulation date has been wacky. Last month it said I didn't ovulate though I had clear ovulation pains and a slight temp shift on the 14th day of my cycle and this month is says that I ovulated on day 16 even though I had clear and strong ovulation pains on the 14th. Since I'm TTC now it's extra important for me to get my timing right. Can a person have ovulation pains but not have a temp shift for a few days?
Here's a copy of my chart for this month so far. Any thoughts?
Also I don't know if it matters but I've been having cramping since morning but maybe I slept wrong or something...
I would like to see if this community could get going again. Looks like its been pretty inactive for quite some time. I'm Nichole and I hope this catches the eyes of some of you 30 year old LJers

for how long have you been TTC: Since August 2003 -- we had one success in Jan. 2005 but that ended 8 weeks later. Nothing since then. I think I am about ready to try medical intervention (at the very least get some tests done).
I swear that there wasn't a 30+ group the last time I looked around (back in Jan, I think)...is it new?
So, good news!!!!! I got my blood work results from today and my levels went up – significantly since Thursday. HCG is 1,700 and progesterone is 49.6, I go back for more blood work on Thursday now!!! Yay me, yay baby Weiss!!!
So after nearly two years of trying, including one year on fertility drugs, I got pregnant twice on fertility injections and miscarried both times very early. This month was the miscarriage cycle and we couldn’t start the next round of injections. I had had it and didn’t care and partied my ass off this month, stood out in the rain for the Collective Soul concert, got front row, got a pic from the guitarist, who recognized us, a water bottle from the lead singer and finally met Dean Roland who hugged me and kissed me on my cheek. Then I did everything I wasn’t supposed to do, skipped meals, didn’t get enough sleep and just lived my life this month. No fertility help whatsoever. The day my period is due, my basal temp skyrockets and I was too dazed to do anything about it, but yesterday with it going even higher, we bought a home pregnancy test and somehow, after two years of trying, we are pregnant on our own and the date of conception is the night of the Collective Soul concert. Now we have to worry about another miscarriage, but we are still in shock over this.

for how long have you been TTC: 20 months currently, but I tried off and on for 3 years with my ex-husband, and still no luck. However, I'm stubborn and refuse to give up.
