hello everyone, i am 32 and have 2 boys. My oldest is 11 and my youngest is 5. We plan to start TTC again in May. I live in the states and in the middle of no where. we have 6 years between the boys and it has been awesome. I have been able to spend a lot of one of one time with them. My hubby is a Roadway inspector and i am a stay at home mom who loves to coupon shop. It seems as tho all of my friends have finished having kids so i am one of the oldest still having kids. Kinda funny if you ask me.

*peeks in*

I turned 30 a couple of weeks ago and ever since I seem to have become broody. Eek! My mum was 30 when she had me, so I always expected I'd be the same...

OH is 31 and says he's not ready yet...

My 20s were great, I went to uni (spent a year of that abroad), went travelling for a year, got established at work and am 1 month in to a 2 year transfer to Sydney, Australia.

When I really sit down and think about having kids, like the fact that they are FOREVER, it gets a bit scary. The "romantic" side of having a family with OH makes it seem better though and whilst I agree with others on here that 30 isn't yet old, it scares me to think it could be a real mission trying to conceive. Once I get an idea in my head I tend to dive in head first, so whilst I'm keen to get to the NTNP stage soon-ish I want to keep relaxed about it all even though I have a nagging dread that TTC will take ages for me. Staying relaxed and just going with the flow is not natural to the control freak in me!

Hi ladies! DH and I are both 36, and we're TTC#1 after 2 mcs in the last year. We've been married 11 years, and we didn't set out to wait this long, it just took us this long to feel ready. I've had tons of fear over my age (especially now after the second mc), but I keep reminding myself of something I realized some time ago:

I'd rather be an older mom than a reluctant mom. Better to wait until you're ready than to have them before you're ready.

So here we are! And like others have said, I'm happy to see the rest of you here, standing up for all us 30somethings!

I'm 33 hoping for #1 before 35!

I turned 31 last month having been told by my gp that i was getting old when i went down to discuss mine and my OH thoughts about getting pregnant add a month and a half of serious stressing that it might be impossible. My OH is 26 (27 next week) and i put off having kids until i met mr right, we are currently NTNP. but this month has found me symptom spotting i have been pregnant before but no kids so heres hoping for people getting pregnant when they'd like to be pregnant and lots of happy healthy bumps

Hi Ladies
I've just found this thread and would love to join in! OH and I are going to start TTC from June this year!!! All a bit scary and exciting! Have spent all those years trying to make sure I don't get pregnant and now am about to do precisely the opposite!!!
I'm 34, and like many, would love to have started a family earlier, but never met Mr Right. So it's great to talk to other 30 somethings.
Out of interest and curiosity (having read Toni Weschler's Taking Charge of Your Fertility)started charting a couple of months ago as wanted to understand the whole business of when I ovulate etc so as not to waste too much time. Discovered I have a short luteal phase, which was a bit of a shocker, but glad I know now, as i can try and do something about it rather than waste months of wondering why it's not happening for us.
Good luck to all you ladies out there!!

BTW, how do i find out what all the acronyms mean? I know AF means a period, but what do the letters stand for?

We conceived Abigail the 1st month of trying, after I had emo-rage when I got to 29years+3months and realised I would never have children in my 20's. I was 38 weeks pg with Abigail when I turned 30!!!

We are WTT for #2 in August.

I have always considered late 20's/ early 30's to be the ideal time to have my family. My mum had us from age 28-34. However OH comes from a family where they all have their kids in their late teens, so MIL thought we waited ages. OH is younger than me, but was considered old having his first at 28.
