I'm new here!
Hi,
Forgive me but i'm new to this site - i've been lurking for awhile as it seems the best site i've seen!
I thought i'd introduce myself. I'm 37, have been married for 8 years and TTC baby no.1. I came off the pill in January 2009 and we really properly started trying in February this year.
I'm obsessed. I eat anything that is recommended, follow my cycle like clockwork (although haven't gone down the route of checking my ovulation regularly (i really should), and i've been having acupuncture and reflexology for the past 3 cycles just to regulate myself.
OH says that 'if it's meant to be it'll happen' but i can't help thinking that time has passed us by (OH is 44).
Trying to pluck up the courage for a 'i think it's time to get the men counted' talk with OH but i'm actually convinced it's all my fault and the fact i've been on the pill for about 15 years!
My cycle seems to have settled into a nice 27 days the last 2 times so that might be sorted.
We even went to Paris last month as apparently 'everyone gets pregnant in Paris'. No pressure then!
Only 2 of my best friends know that we're TTC.
It's soooo frustrating though. I just want to be a mummy!
So sorry for the rant!!

Welcome to BE. Everyone on here is great and a rant always helps so rant away. Hopefully you won't be in ttc for too long sounds like your doing everything you can. I'm lucky enough to have a son and we are ttc #2. I totally obsessed about falling pregnant with ds and we stopped trying 2 months before our wedding and that's when I fell preg so we are trying to take a relaxed approach this time (yeah right, ive got 11 days till testing and I'm already pulling my hair out)

I had my bloods done one of the first months we tried as i thought i had PCOS but doc said i had quite low progesterone so it's likely i don't ovulate very regularly. Eek!
So i tried using Persona but I got fed up with getting up early and half the time i forgot. Have seriously been considering CBFM though, maybe this might be a better option - does it actually detect whether you're OVing or does it take a random guess? I think Persona is a random guess based on a few cycles
Oh btw - I'm on day 23 today and due AF on Sunday (really hope that witch stays away!!)
Been eating brazil nuts and drinking pink grapefruit juice this week but i have a sneaking suspicion that AF will still make an appearance at the end of the week
I look forward to all your news and BFP's very soon!
Like everyone says we are a friendly bunch here. There is always someone can answer a question or just listen when you are having one of those days xx
I am 35 so know about the time pressure, we are very lucky though and have a beautiful son who is 1 and my world we have just started ttc no 2, I do have PCOS so on 2nd month.
Hope you get your bfp soon hon xx
I am 28 and TTC for baby no 1....OH is 32.....on month 2.
