I'm 31 and my mom still tells me I'm too young!

Several reasons why I waited.
First of all I just didn´t feel ready to be a mom,
second was my carreer, I´m only just getting secure in my position these days,
and third was my fiancee´s studies. He finished last spring, and finally has a steady job these days.

So, now things are stable (mostly), we feel we´re finally ready to bring a little individual into this world

We have been married for 5, but together for 10 years! My DH is also a bit younger, I am 33, and he is 30. So that was part of the reason - he just wasn't ready. I have been ready for awhile, but have been enjoying have a life together going traveling, and fixing up our house. But now- we are both ready, and thought it would have happened fast - and a year later we are still waiting. Moving on to assisted conception next month when I get AF (hopefully I will not get AF). Wishing everyone luck!

Good morning, ladies! Happy Monday. Hope this week goes by quickly.

My husband (30) and I (32) just got married a year and a half ago and we just started living together about six months ago. We wanted to be married and be together just the two of us a little while before starting to try and we wanted to travel. We did start playing it less safe a little while ago, but with no luck. So, we started trying trying in December.

I don't feel like we are starting too late. I feel like I am just now ready to start a family and feel like this is the perfect timing for us. Fingers crossed our bodies feel the same way. I am in the same boat that most of my friends are also just starting their families and a few of my friends the same age aren't married yet but have all intentions of having a family one day. None of us feel too old or feel pressure yet. So, I guess it just depends on where you live and your social circle, but Nicki, I definitely do not think you are too old! And, my mom had my younger siblings when she was 38 and 39 - both surprises.

Happy BD'ing this month! Enjoy!

p.s. I know I've already said it, but I am very happy to have this group. I don't mean to, but I talk about the baby thing too much with my husband. He wants us not to get too stressed about it and enjoy our last months without a baby and I definitely agree, but still can't help talking about it. So, I think this will be a great outlet for me and I am looking forward to having TTC buddies and friends!

Hi ladies!

I'm 34, OH is 42 and we've been TTC for 4 months now. Came off BCP in Dec. Have been mostly using a calendar app to predict O and BDing every other day within my predicted fertile period. AF is due in 2 days according to my calendar but I didn't use OPKs to know when exactly I ovulated. I plan to test on Wed AM before I fly out to visit my best friend for 4 days. FXed!

Great thread! Thanks for starting it Smimms!!

Baby dust and best of luck to everyone here!

im 39 and still single .kept thinking id find someone.. finally realized it was do it alone or not at all.. so.. here i am. going for cd 3 us today before starting injections againe

Lol Well then lets agree with what your mom said lol

Crap crap crap. 2.3cm cyst on one side and a small one on the other. So no stims for me. I am going to Philly at the end of may so I'd have to miss 2 cycles which I don't want to do. New plan, us Monday to see if I'm growing a follicle despite the cysts then do an unmedicated cycle. If that doesn't work I'd have to skip a cycle anyway for ivf so... Now if I don't grow a follicle... And I have to skip this cycle entirely.. I'm pondering skipping the trip home. Tickets were pretty cheap and al though I know my parents would be sad, I think id just stress the whole time about how I should be cycling etc. I'm 39, I don't have time to step back and just take months off.

Hi Ladies, what a nice thread. I am 32 and DH is 40. We have been TTC for 7 months. Unfortunately, I suffered an early MC in January and it's been an emotional rollercoaster ever since. Praying this will be our cycle. Best of luck to all and sending

I'm sure your parents will understand! I bet they want a grandkid too Sorry to hear about the cyst - FX that the follicle will grow! And good luck with it all!
