Though the journey can be hard for a woman of any age, TTC in your 30s has its own challenges. Keep your chins up, stay positive, and take heart that our chances of conceiving each cycle are only very slightly lower than that of a 29 year old. 
I went to my surgical obgyn who removed my ovary and asked if I should talk any precautions, be worried, etc and his answer was a firm no. He was very assuring about women in their 30s being more than able to conceive, and even myself with one ovary. His only advice was to "get busy" and come back in a year if not successful naturally. 
I'm in my 24th cycle dAy not sure which day I ovulated(have t tried the tests yet) but DH and I spaced out our trying throughout my "fertile window". According to Ovia I'm 5 days away from testing. 
. AF due on 9/4.
Oooo, good tip, mangoberry! I think I will have to do that for my next cycle. In just 6 months I've already spent close to $200!
Hi everyone,
I'm 34 and my DH is 30. I also lost one ovary years ago due to an ovarian cyst. (Hormones normal, don't have PCOS though-go figure) First month officially trying-and I've definitely felt nervous waiting so long to start a family but I don't regret having only married and settled down 11 months ago.
I've started using the app Ovia and it's a Godsend. Now for the tech talk:
Its good to know that you shouldn't face any problems in your journey! Best of luck to you 
Thanks ladies for the warm welcome and I would a test buddy!!
Ovia told me a few days ago my CF was a good indication I conceived so of course I've been checking it constantly and almost had a nervous breakdown at work yesterday when I wiped and saw pink! I logged it and put a tampon in overnight so I could further examine it ( don't you just love how we all become clinical technicians when TTC lol??) and this morning it was brown/pink super light with mostly CF. So fingers crossed its IB and I didn't just scrape something with all my CF checking lol or even worse it's a super early AF.
I'm thinking if AF doesn't come on 9/4 as projected, I'll wait until the following Sat to test. (If I can stand it!!)
Trying to stay positive and looking at it as a process that will take some time. How long do you ladies usually wait to test? I'm trying very hard to keep my emotions in check, unnecessary BFN I'm trying to avoid.
It's also extremely therapeutic sharing my experiences with all of you-please know I understand completely the anxiety ridden, emotional roller coaster you all are going through! Stay positive!
I am so hyper aware of everything right now though I am only 9 DPO. I am not very hopeful this cycle though, my temps are low, hanging out very close to the coverline. They jumped up yesterday but I am not getting too hopeful b/c I am traveling. Weirdest thing this cycle is how swollen and pressurized my pelvis feels- low abdomen swelling that feels fairly sensitive to the touch and I also have bloating in all the usual places.

#1 will take
