fingers crossed for you DMC!!

Well, I *think* I'm 1dpo & officially in the 2ww?? Ovulation sx were different this time and I HOPE I actually did ovulate!! I know some of my new supplements can delay it (maca & vitex) but that it should be a stronger/healthier egg when I do! gonna try to hit the disco 1 more time before I'm out of what CTP says is my fertile window this month.

Really praying this is our month. DH & I had always said we would stop trying after 42, I turn 42 on May 10th. Now we don't know. It's so hard to say when enough is enough!! I do know that when we do decide, I want SOMETHING in place that says it's absolutely not going to happen. I would like that to be a vasectomy and DH says he's willing but has never followed through. As usual, that stuff will probably be up to me of course. I get a little bitter that most of the responsibility and burden falls on us but I guess that's just how it's gonna be.

Anyway, on to waiting & obsessing!!!

Cheers to all the ladies of our "vintage"!!

I'm just checking in myself. Super busy this week and, bad timing, am away from dh due to a little vacay with the kids who are out of school this week.

Hoping to test next week, 13dpo, in any case.

I'm feeling good about communication with dh and with my body. KMFX!

Good morning ladies,

I came across your group this morning... I am so glad I found you. I have been looking for a group of "older" TTCers for so long...

I am 42 (will be 43 in July)
DBF is 48
I have a beautiful son of almost 5, conceived naturally at 37 in a previous relationship.
This is our 11th cycle TTC. We already did two ICSI cycles at the end of last year, both were BFN.
My AMH has been taken three times: 1.4, 0.54 and lately 0.9 - so it's consistently low but still there.

I am on a serious concoction, which, most importantly, includes 75mg of DHEA since December, vitex, melatonin, omega 3, baby aspirin, l-arginine, inositol, b-complex, b6, folic acid, bee polllen, royal jelly...

I am currently on a natural cycle. I o'd early this cycle and AF is due on Friday. I am getting ready for our third ICSI attempt (but I am still praying that maybe, just maybe, we don't have to go through this again...).

I read through all your posts and I can feel your pain about chemicals, ectopics and M/Cs. I know that even if I get this coveted BFP that this is when the real emotional rollercoaster starts...

Hope to share my journey with you and hope to see lots of BFPs for good vibes and

Welcome Toronto!

Well, I think NOW I'm officially in the 2ww. I changed my date after some interesting sx. Coerced the DH into one last dance for the week. We were both exhausted, not really my fault..I told him I thought I ovulated late (via text) & that I'd like to hit the disco one more night, to which he was all for but he decided to have his buddy over. That's all fine & good but he didn't realize it couldn't wait really until this morning. I had resigned myself to "see what happens" with what we had already done, but we able to rev up for the team!! Tired today but worth it!! time to wait, stress and obsess
