swayers over 35 buddy group

[Prettyinpink]

Hello, I'm a little late to the party but found this thread when I was searching for something else. I wanted to write a little bit about being older age for a first time pregnancy in my general intro, but it seemed a little tmi. Seems fine here though lol I am 37 and working towards trying to conceive. I am getting a late start due to having a ridiculously long off and on college career in between jobs that I could barely support myself on, let alone a family. I am still putting it off a bit because I am waiting for medical benefits to kick in and a time limit on pregnancy for my short term disability policy. Oh not to mention a state exam to take which I want to do before the so called pregnancy brain I have heard of kicks in Probably won't really get started ttc until late spring early summer. This will give me time to chart my cycle well and get started swaying! I know I should and I will be grateful just to conceive, but I have always wanted a girl, plus I already have two stepsons from hubby's 1st marriage. Not to mention, I have been a nanny and always for families with only boys in my 20s and all of my pets have been male. Everyday I remind myself that any baby will be a gift, plus I can always try again . Well thank you for listening to me ramble ladies. I have enjoyed reading all of your stories.

I wrote a post and then lost it!!!
ugh

Welcome Pretty in Pink!

sweet sister...did you test today? anything???
I forget what your attempt was? Did you do mulitple attempts?

mocha...that is good that you are getting checked so you can start fresh next week!

indigo...how are you feeling? any suggestions for us swayers?

I am cd 8 and trying to decide on what attempt to make this month. Truly I am tired of trying so I hope whatever we do works!

kitten...what did you do? many attempts? on o day?
Are you anxious about the gender?
How much vitex did you take? My pills are in 80 mg form so I have to take a lot to reach 1000 mg if that is what you are doing.

Ladybug, any updates?

[Kitten]

lemon - We just went with the flow and ended up with an O-2 and about an O+8 (or thereabouts). The only thing I am anxious about is a healthy baby although I do have a feeling it will be another boy though, but I'm aok with that. Since we are probably going straight to CVS I'll find out gender around 12 weeks. I took 400mg of Vitex (1 pill) per day all cycle long since March. It gave me an O date of predictably cd13 or cd14.

Hope you get your BFP quickly prettyinpink.

Hi Kitten,
It sounds very girly to me! Why would you think it is another boy?
Did you FR at all?
I feel like I am going to o with the classic day 14..so just trying to decide, but in the end, I do want to get pregnant.
Your due date would have been mine last month if I was successful

What is CVS?

I hope the weeks go by fast for you!
Thanks for the input...if you have anything else to add just let me know!

lemon - I just feel my hb and I only make boys! I'm not sure if HB did FR - I guess it's possible but it would have been one of those "man" things! lol!!

CVS is a test where they take a tiny sample of the placenta and from there they can test for chromosomal issues and many other things as well.

4 dpo and nothing to report! I feel nothing and believe me I have been looking for something..lol

Lemon i tested today with a first response and its a BFN .booohoo and all my imaginary symptoms are gone too i really felt pregnant this time but now all gone i had the same thing 2 cycles ago and i had alot of big clotting during af so maybe just didnt implant?Anyways i have 2 days left until af but i feel like af will come now
And i did every second day starting cycle day 10 12 14 and dh released the days between for fr release and not to raise my ph.I got a +OPT ON DAYS 13 and 14 i didnt use rephresh this time and i switched from ig to the LE diet last month.
Good luck planning your sway ,try not to stress your at the fun stage,or should be fun

[lemon2012]

Kitten, good luck with the CVS!
ladybug,.....it is still early....!

Sweet sister....I wonder if I have noticed the same thing...from 8 to 9 dpo until around 11 or 12 and then back to af feelings. Maybe they are not sticking!

I am cd 9...what to do!
Did you dtd on o day? Still nothing!!!
COnsidering it is a 10% chance every month I am surprised we sway so much.....especially over 35
I guess I better get going!
Why did you start cd 10?
I may o on cd12 or 14...the vitex is screwing me up. It seems odd as I only take it during the 2 week of af to o.
Did you take it?

I think I was trying both ig diet and le...most days I am careful but I think I sneak and cheat more than I used to...and Christmas is coming!
Sorry about BFN......it should have worked! Still hoping for you!

lemon you could try what alestis did on IG and just focus on diet, and just DTD a lot, I think she beleives the body chemistry change is what really helped her get a girl.....
