35 and ttc....

View Full Post

Anyone around my age and having a hard time ttc? My youngest is 3.5, and I'm kicking myself for waiting. I always thought I'd start trying at 34 and have my last by 35. And I really want a last one.

Anywho, 34 came and went. This is the 9th serious ttc cycle. I will start in about 3 days and it's not looking good for a bfp.

I have been tracking with opks over a year. I never get a super dark peak but I get one that's close to the control line and feel o cramps the very next day.

I have a dr appt jan 30. I really don't think everything is still properly working. I feel like my window has shut and I'm really struggling. Everyone around me is getting pregnant at 30 and 31, and expressing how glad they are they didn't put it off.

I have already been blessed with 3 so I don't feel I have the right to be sad. But I want one more baby and it hurts.

I can't have clomid because all tests show that I am ovulating normally now (I wasn't ovulating when TTC my first) but I don't seem to be getting pregnant, the next step would be IVF but I simply can't afford it. Just got to keep hoping x

There are many women who ovulate and still take clomid. Sometimes it makes ovulation stronger and progesterone higher for people. There are Dr.'s out there that will prescribe clomid even when a woman ovulates. It also helps in the fact that sometimes you ovulate more eggs giving sperm more targets. I would just look into my options. There is also IUI which is much cheaper than IVF.

I got my bfp recently (3/16/20) at age 37 after many MCs, disappointments and being diagnosed with "unexplained infertility". We had been trying since june 2014 after I got my IUD removed. I'm currently 9 wks today and going to my 1st prenatal check tomorrow.

Good luck and sending lots of baby dust.

I turned 36 last month. I have two boys (almost 3 and almost 5). Trying since last February. I started taking conception supplements and the first cycle , the second cycle and into my second bottle . I am 4 weeks 4 days according to my lmp. Don’t give up and defiantly get checked out.

Hi, i had my twins after ttc for 3 years at 37. Twins are now 3 and we have been ttc for 2 years, im. 40. There's no age limit until menopause hits, that's what my hubby says.
I have a elder daughter from a other marriage, whrn i was 27.
Definitely see a Dr who may do tests and put you on clomid.
Good luck.
