Hi everyone.
Can I join the party (or at least book a spot to attend hopefully not too far into the future)?
I'm 40. Was shocked silly in early March to see that line turn pink after our first 'calculated' attempt ~Valentine's Day. We weren't ignorant (or arrogant) enough to think it'd be that easy for we know a lot can go wrong, esp in the early days. Miscarried Easter weekend (at 9+1) and though very sad we are not devastated.
Of course, we find ourselves asking many questions starting with 'why' and 'what if' but we are also heartened to know that conceiving is possible for us. We may be joining many others on the long and winding road to parenthood. Then again, we may produce a sticky bean next month.
Without an ovulation kit, I can't say for sure but I if I had to guess, I'd say ovulation is just around the corner. That is, if the signs can indeed return back to normal so soon. My abdomen region is still sore so I can't imagine having sex just yet...think we'll give it a month, to let the hcg levels get down to 'not pregnant' and just let things recalibrate.
All to say: I'll be following you along and hope to have good news to share myself soon!
Congrats to all you 'older first timers'. What an adventure this is, eh?!
