Any 28-35 year olds here TTC number 1?

[Fritty]

I know what you mean. I turn 30 in September and persumed I would of had at least one child by then if not more, but for some reason its not meant to be at the moment. After seeing alot on my friends just getting pregant I persumed it would be really easy! I am waiting until next week to see if theres any good news for me if not I will be starting my 2nd cycle of clomid. Best wishes to everyone xx

 

[Fritty]

p.s join the club MFK is it just me or is it very where you turn if either see another pregant lady or a buggy ha ha xx

Hi everyone!!

Laurie - here's the thread with all the abbreviations
https://www.babyandbump.com/forum-help-testing-area/730-babyandbump-lingo-abbreviations.html

I was completely lost til someone told me about that page - I thought "BFP" and "BFN" were some sort of technical science jargon!!

It's testing day for me - but now it's here, I almost don't want to do it. At least now I don't know one way or the other

Best of luck xxx

All my friends are having scans to see their babies and i'm going to see gyno's and fertility specialists, that just sums it all up for me on how hard this road has been, but still I will have a baby this year

I'm 31 and have been married for 10 years. Many of my friends who have been married much less time have 1-3 kids by now. We waited until last year because we were both in graduate school and now I'm scared we waited too long! TTC for 5 months so far....

Hey I am turning 30 in 4 months and we have been ttc for 5 months now... I was really not prepared for it to not happen right away and was convinced I would be having my 1st baby when I was 30 but now that nothing seems to be happening. I do wonder!! I really do hope it happens soon as feel like I am getting older and what if it is not happening cause I am older and what if it doesn't happen?

I think turning 30 is weird its making me feel strange about a lot of thing..... like all of a sudden I am grown up. Strange i have everything I want apart from a baby!

Me too! I'm 30 in May, really not looking forward to it. I remember when I was 16 I thought anyone over 23 was "old" . I don't feel 30 at all, I sometimes think I'd feel better turning 30 if I already had a child, but then it might make me feel even older! I said when I got married I wanted to get pregnant or have a baby when I'm 30. Thing is I want to plan things for my birthday but it's hard cos I think, if we go abroad, can I fly? if we stay at home, can I drink? it's very frustrating . Think I'm gonna do a spa day with the girls, then it doesnt matter about drinking. I'm certainly not organising a big night out down the town to be drinking coke!! . GL everyone x

For those that are about to turn 30, though I realize everyone is different, I would just like to offer by words of encouragement that my 30th year was one of the best years of my life and I really am enjoying being in my 30s.

That said, I was sad when AF came this last cycle and I realized I'd missed my last chance to have a baby before my 32nd birthday, which is in early November.

FX that all of us get a BFP soon!

 

[Sizzles]

Well my birthday's in July so I would be 33 by the time I became a mummy. PLEASE let me be a mummy when I am 33!!!

I am 30 but will be 31 this summer...been off the pill for 9 months but not really actively ttc until a few months ago...just had annual checkup and they said everything was fine..had extra bloodwork done at the gyno last Wednesday to check on ovulation...still waiting to hear back from them on it...driving me crazy!! I waited until I got out of graduate school and now I am wishing I wouldn't have waited so long

I feel the same way....waited until we had been married a while and I was done with grad school, now I'm scared because it's taking so long. It's frustrating to me that I feel like I did everything right....college, marriage, house, grad school....and we can't get pregnant, but 18-20 year olds get knocked up like crazy!!!!!

Fisher have you started talking to your dr about testing or anything yet? When you've been trying a year they will start infertility stuff, which is good! My dr. Started me on clomid after 9 months because I asked her, so it's worth asking about. I'm taking my second cycle starting tomorrow.

 

[fisher640]

Tracy I have an appointment in about 1.5weeks for my yearly I intend to bring it up then - I've been charting since I quit taking pills in spring 2008 (we were avoiding fertile days as birth control til last spring when we started TTC - my charts are always good so I know I'm ovulating and I know when I'm fertile - which is part of what has me worried!)

like other people said I waited til we had been married awhile and til I was nearly done with Grad school (3 semesters left now) so it was part of out plan to try on our own til I was close to being done (but I wish we had started trying a long time ago!) DH is 36.

 

[Fritty]

Hiya guys I cam share your pain. We have been married over 4 years I a m 29 and still no joy its just driving me crazy. I am on my 1st cycle of clomid will know the out come next week xx

 

[Conina]

Unfortunately I'm out - tested on Fri and BFN, then arrived on Sat Had a crappy day at work on Fri also so the weekend has been crap in general, and that was even when we were away at the spa. Really thought it was my month

 

[Fritty]

Sorry to hear that Conina. Keep your chin up xxx

How long does it usually take for an ob-gyn to get bloodwork results back to you? They did bloodwork on Feb 16 to try and pinpoint when/if I am ovulating, but I still have not heard from them...it is starting to drive me nuts but I don't know whether to call or keep waiting....

also for those who have started clomid---are you having any side effects? I think my ob-gyn may want to go that route but wondered about the side effects.

my husband thought that dtd one time, 2-3 days before O would have worked...for some reason he thinks he has super sperm, even though he's never gotten anyone pregnant. this is our second month and i'll be 30 in april. if you know you ovulate every month can your age prevent fertilization or implantation if all other factors are equal?

Yes I'm pretty sure that getting pg just gets harder as we age. I have ovulated every single month for a year, and my hubby has a really high sperm count, and we always bd at least 3 times around o, and still nothing!! I did have one chemical pregnancy in December so at least we know it's possible I guess. Why are humans most fertile at like 16!?!?
