Hi all, this is my first post as I joined today!

I am 31 this August and also feeling under a lot of pressure to get pregnant. My 1st daughter is 12yrs , so now hoping for number 2. My OH wants a boy,,,,,,! I have read lots of info about TTC a boy. Not sure how possible it is with Artificial insemination?

Will keep you udated!

Guk luck to you all ladies.

Hi, I've been stalking B&B for a while now.. just had to reply this time because I'll be 34 in September as well and the pressure is on! It doesn't help that everyone around me is getting pregnant on their first and second months trying and I'm currently on my 3rd and not getting the feeling this is my month

I know I'm supposed to relax and not be so frantic about it all but I can't help it! Great to know there are others like me tho

Karine, what day in September? I'm the 11th!

Good luck to you!

Listen people, I am 38 and 1/2 trying for my first (late bloomer). I have the highest hopes. My cousin conceived last year naturally at age 42 after 11 months of trying.
It is possible!!!
I am on Day 13.
Got my first +OPK yesterday, day 12 and +OPK today, day 13.
BD day 8, 10, 11 and 12 so far. Guess the plan is to BD tonight to hopefully seal the deal.
I have taken prenatal vitamins for 10 years, I take primrose day 4 til O. Sometimes use preseed but haven't really needed it.
This is technically my first month ttc with fiance, last month he had no idea what I was trying to do!
I suggest changing passwords to positive pregnancy symbols/words, drawing pictures/paintings of the pregnancy or finding pics and putting them around you at home or work (sperm meets egg), practicing visualization of your dream every day and being grateful for what you do have right now.
Good luck to everyone!

I keep visualising a BFP, does that count?

I'm 7 dpo today (if my luteal phase is 15 or 16)
and trying to be as positive as possible...

inpghttc, I read your post about a very light AF, I once had a very early AF that was not very heavy, the research i read at the time suggested that it was the timing of AF that was more important than actual blood flow.
Ie if your AF arrives within a time frame so that the luteal phase is too short.
(Happened to me during a very stressful overseas trip).

Im not sure if it is the same with people as it is with horses and dogs lol -
but it is better to breed once while younger and then ttc when older,
than to ttc older for the first time

I dont know much about AI, my aunty had her frist baby at 47 through IVF
but it was through a donor egg, after several unsuccessful attempts with her own.
They now have a beautiful baby boy, who looks exactly like the dad!

I hope you have the beautiful baby boy you and your OH are dreaming of,
best wishes

Wow, I could have written most of these posts myself!! I will be 35 in December and just ended our 2nd cycle of ttc. And I want more than one kiddo before 40 ideally. The pressure is INTENSE!!! And I know what you all mean about it feeling like everyone else you know is getting pregnant easily. I didn't meet DH until I was 29. I wish now that we had started trying a few years ago, but there was always a good reason to wait. Now I'm just hoping and praying that we didn't wait too long and that we'll be successful soon. I keep thinking I should venture over to the ttc over 35 board, but it scares me too much

I know people get pregnant after 35 all the time, but the time pressure does seem lots different that it would have if I had started younger. Oh, well, c'est la vie, I guess. Sending lots of baby dust out to all of you!!!
