Hello Ladies 
Thought I would come in here as feel I need to be with some ladies who are in the same boat as me - ie more mature mommies-to-be
I turned 37 last month and my age is really playing on my mind now. I wish I could get this "if you're over 35 you've had it" mentality out of my head
Anyway, here is my story:
I was with my ex for 15 years and married for nearly 5 years (met at 17, married at 27). We never tried for a family due mainly to financial issues. We split up just as I turned 32 after a couple of years of things slowly going wrong.
I then met my current OH in January 2008 (I was 33) and we have now been together 3 1/2 years and I have never been so happy as since I have been with him. He is fabulous. He was married for 10 years previously and also has no children (his ex decided she didn't want them).
We had pretty much been NTNP since about early 2009 as had the view that if I got pregnant we'd be fine with it. We then started actively TTC early 2010. In January 2011 we visited docs as nothing had happened and I had a blood test to check for ovulation and my thyroid function, which came back normal. I also started acupuncture as had heard good things about it.
We finally ended up with our
on 21st February this year 
So conceived naturally the month we started tests at the docs 
We were so pleased but right from the start I was extremely cautious and nervous. But we got to 12 week dating scan with no sign of any problems. Only my gut instinct that something wasn't right 
I was so, so nervous going into the scan and unfortunately my fears were confirmed - scan showed 
had stopped developing around 6 weeks and my body had not miscarried 
I had medical management for mc on 27th April this year
So we are now back on the TTC bandwagon and I am terrified that it could take a year to happen again I have had two AFs since mc and we tried for the first time last month but no luck My cycles appear to be long so far after the mc (first one 38 days, 2nd one 35 and this one seems to be heading for a long one too). Long cycles are not unusual for me though, they have been this long before. I do think my body has settled down ok in the main (I got peak on my fertility monitor last month and think I did ov). But I am so desperate to be pregnant again and we just so want to be parents x
