NEW AND IMPROVED swayers over 35 buddy group! 2016

[Girlieplease]

Can I join your merry crew? Am just turned 36, I have three beautiful babies ( g, b @ b) trying to conceive number 4. Hoping to have a girl. Had our first attempt in June, unsuccessful, af just arrived. I am gutted, all three of my babies were conceived first attempt. Trying to re group and be practical and tighten my attempt for July. This is my last baby irrespective of gender. Why am I so gutted when af arrived? I knew it would happen. Looking forward to this journey with you guy's and bring on the bfp' s! X

Just want to say hi, I'm 39 and have two gorgeous boys. Currently starting a girl sway whilst still trying to convince hubby to go for a third.. I've lost about 8lb already on the diet which I'm hoping will help. My first boy was conceived on honeymoon (gaining weight rapidly with lots of lovely food!) Glad to have found this lovely group x

Just want to say hi also. I am 41 - gosh it seems so old when I say and write it. I feel like I am still in my mid-30'ies though. LOL. Have 3 lovely boys aged 6, 8 and 9 and are trying for a forth. Did one unsuccesfull PDG-IVF-PDG-attempt in Europe at the age of 39 and then moved on to ttc natural. Had our first real sway attempt in May. Got BFP, but unfortunately this pregnancy has just ended (week 4 or 5) and I am now waiting MC-bleed.

I have decided to give it a go with TTC until I turn 43. DH is NOT AT ALL sharing my baby-fever but is on board and taking OLE (sweetheart).

I go back and forth thinking I am crazy and egoistic to want a baby at my age, but I can't help it. Swaying has become a project, an obsession. I wish I was not in such a hurry bc of my age. I have read that by the age of 40 there is 55 pct risk that a pregancy will result in miscarriage bc of bad egg and abnormalities, so although I might still be fertile it is up hill and I prepare my self mentally that I am not going be succesfull.

GL to everybody.

It is really weird when you get "a certain age" and still feel exactly the same as ever, isn't it??

It's nice at the same time though because you do realize there is so much more to life and so many new stages you get to experience.

I really enjoy being in my 40's and would NEVER go back to my 20's again no way no how!!

Hello Atomic and other mums2be

Can I ask as I haven't had access granted yet to questionnaires when is the best time to come off the mini pill ? I am still having periods so is it best to stop at the start of my next period ?

Also when dtd do you abstain before the attempt or can you still have regular intercourse in the build up to O as this may lower his count and therefore favour girls ?

Thank you

Hi mrsfourboys, I think it depends on the age of your dh, if he is over 35 abstaining is not recommended, so other option for swaying pink is frequent release! X

Yes that is what I'd do is just stop them then. I want you to TTC to catch the first egg though, so stay on it til the month you plan to TTC.

I have to review your questionnaire but very few couples over 35 do abstain.

Hi everyone. Thought I would introduce myself here since I am in the over 35 club! I am 37, have 2 beautiful girls, ages 6 and 3, and am swaying blue this time! I have been swaying for several months now but seriously attempted only one cycle. Had some trouble with EPO (I think?) messing with my cycles so I am giving that up for good. I usually have a short cycle of 23 days but at first the EPO was causing an even shorter LP. This cycle however, I never ovulated (at least never got a positive OPK) and now my period is 5 days late...and NO, not pregnant - negative pregnancy tests x 2. So???? Wondering if this is all to blame on the EPO or if this could be something else - like early menopause? This odd cycle thing is definitely new for me - you could set your clock by my cycle when I was attempting with the girls!

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes it's the EPO, defo drop that.

Are you taking anything else like RJBP or green tea??

I can all but 100% assure you that you're not in early menopause.

Hello All, wanted to introduce myself. I am a bit sad that I meet the criteria for this group, but also feel like I still might not fit in because it sounds like all the other 35+ ladies already have kids and are TTC to finish up their family. I on the other hand am 35, hubby is 38, we have been married for 9 years and zero children (by choice). We know that the time is now or never because my uterus is not getting any younger so we are finally doing this (ahhhhhhh- I am still scared overall to become parents).

We both really want a girl for our first so I am doing everything I can to try and tip the scale in that direction. After reading around the forum I have found I am doing a lot wrong that sways blue (like multivitamin prenatals) but I am working on changing things to sway girl. I have been off BC pills for 6 months and I am on metformin for PCOS, but I don't have insulin resistance as part of my PCOS. I think I might finally have my cycle somewhat regular (although on the longer side of 37-40 days).

I know the diet works best being on it for several months, but what are some short term things I can do to sway pink?
