Me and my husband have been trying for a
month to get pregnant. In the next few
days I will found out if we have been
successful or not. I hope I am because we
did the "baby making procedure" 12 times
to have the best chance of getting
pregnant. I found it hard work!!!!
Fingers crossed.
Also I am nearly 30 and wondering, what
bearing this could have on my fertility?

Hi Chick1978!....... Posted: 04-15-07 13:34pm
DH and I are on our 2nd month of ttc. I've
been reading alot of info and I decided to
go alot more....um.. technical lol.
I am charting so that I can see a definate
change in temperature before and after
ovulation. In the first month I was also
able to see that my luteal phase was too
short for implantation to even occur.
Personally, I found it really helpful to
chart my temps.
I was on birth control pills for about 10
years. I was off of them for 2 years at
one point though. So I never really knew
what it was like to ovulate on my own or
have anything other than a
chemically-induced AF. So this has been
really interesting for me so far. I also
used O.P.Ks so I knew when I was about to
.O
All the info I have read kept mentioning
that most healthy couples can take up to a
year, on average, to conceive. To me, that
is too general.
In a book I just bought it was more
age-specific. For my age-28 and dh-32 it
said 5-6 month on average.(if everthing is
timed right etc...)
The one piece of info that never changed
was--- Even under perfect "conditions",
.A.K.A
.Lots-of-.B.Ding-couldn't-possibly-have-mi
ssed-that-eggie (lol), there is only a 25%
chance of conceiving each
cycle.
I'm not sure if any of that helped you
,but at the very least it makes those of
us that are close to 30 aware of the fact
that it just might take *alittle* more
effort now, compared to when we were 20.
Good luck!!

Well, I hope this is your month! I think
that age plays a part. But a small one.
30 is young. I think it is 35 when they
shorten the time to 6 mo instead of a
year. But I could be wrong. I for one am
20. I have been on bc for 6 years and
recently went off (2ish mo ago) I am still
trying to regulate my periods and do not
believe I have ovulated yet. (I am
currently bleeding for the 5th time
) So 20 doesn't always mean alot!
I hope you will stick around and keep us
posted!
Niki- how are you feeling?

I am also nearly 30 and have been in the
mindset that I will never get the chance
to be a mommy, but I have to snap out of
it and realize that it just isn't my time
yet. I did a lot to my body when I was
younger **ohh those college days** and I
wonder all the time if what I did had an
effect on my fertility. DH and I have
been trying for about 6 months but I have
been told by my ob/gyn that we need to
take a break and use condoms so that my
pap can get back to normal. After that
it's game on!!

Star,
I just read your post here and I must tell
you that you cannot blame your past. This
is coming from someone who did everything
right, in order to be a healthy mommy some
day and have a healthy baby, so we can be
a happy familly.
Well, the reality is something completly
different and that did not quite happen.
after each of my m/c's, I wrecked my brain
to figure out what I did wrong. I have
been taking pre natal vitamins for two
years, and stopped drinking that
occasional glass of wine even. So, please
do not blame yourself. I know people who
still live a fast and furious lifestyle,
yet keep having babies. I guess there is
a reason why we are all going through
this. Don't give up girl, like someone
else said just take this time to do all
the things to get yourself even more
prepared to have a healthy pregnancy
sooner than later.

It is the day that I should be on my
period.....
I have had a tiny spotting, very tiny, and
I think that I mayhave my period after
all.
I'm just thinking of all the hardwork that
I will have to do again, if I am not
pregnant!

Keep the faith chick... They say not to
count spotting as your full on period.
You are supposed to wait until you have
normal flow.
If it is af then you can chalk this month
to a good try and you will be that much
more educated and closer to when you do
actually conceive.
Dont give up hope!!!

Yes, I will definitely keep trying.

always a winner!

I would give it a day or two, and if your
spotting doesn't increase to full
bleeding, take a test. I want to say that
mg had some spotting and got a positive.
