“Gl for ttc in october, are you doing le/got a plan from atomic? Really takes the stress out of swaying. You kind of hit the ground running instead of reading every post and getting more confused! “
Mrs Incredible
congratulations on your work out – sounds like a toughie! As regards your question on Atomic’s sway plans, I am seriously considering getting a sway plan from Atomic. My only hesitancy is Atomic herself has (words to the effect) that the girl sway is about reducing overall fertility (as that sways girls) so if you are older it may be better to just get pregnant rather than worry about the gender. The other thing for me is the amount of dairy to be consumed. I like Milk but I have ibs and follow the Low Fodmap diet. So I basically drink lactose free organic milk and no yogurt or keffir as it is hard to get lactose free yogurt unless you go vegan and frankly I don’t tolerate soy. So with all that in mind I am still mulling it over. At the moment I am just trying to keep my blood sugar down and calcium and magnesium levels up.

Yes, am following LE as much as possible and am 6 dpo at the moment. “

bunnywabbit said”Hi all, just stopping by. DH and I fit into the 35+ category. Makes me a little nervous as this is our first child we're ttc. With maternal years not on my side anymore, my concern is if it takes a long while to conceive the first (7 months so far including m/c) what if we decide to have another but 'run out of time'? I guess we'll be blessed if we have one eventually...”
Welcome bunnywabbit I totally get where you are coming from I am 37 (38 in less than 4 months) and TTC my first child. It is difficult one. I want to sway because I always imagined myself with daughters and do want a daughter more than a son. Wow, I feel guilty saying that! But at my age I do wonder should I just aim to get pregnant as soon as possible and let nature take its course. I do so want a girl but I want a healthy baby of either gender most of all.
Your post about your posts made me laugh Aiden’s Mum good luck with your sway
Aiden’s Mum said” We all fear that but we see older mums conceiving all the time.. I also worry as I am now 40 and everytime I read something about pregnancy on your 40's they make it sound like a very bad idea or that it might not even happen! The secret is stay calm and believe your body will do what it's been designed to do. Good luck"
urgh the newspapers annoy me. I know they have to keep us informed and it is true your fertility declines with age. But I hate the undercurrent in much of the stories that some how older Mum’s are selfish women who choose not to have children when they were most fertile. It is usually so much more complicated than that and it is not fair we have extra stress when as you say we need to stay calm.
