TTC 30s/40s Club

Today I am 11dpo and I have gotten my BFP!!! After two days of testing with those $ tree store tests, I decided to purchase a First response early pregnancy test and voila!....PREGNANT!!!!

 

CONGRATULATIONS on your BFP, that is wonderful.

Please be mindful of other peoples feelings,
"Voila Pregnant" after 1mth of ttc, doesn't work for everyone.( I guess its how you worded it, if only)

 

Congratulations on your BFP!

 

Fantastic News BabieGurl! Congrats on your BFP!

 

How was that offensive? I meant it in a way as it just happened...I was not raining on anyone's parade....Geez, I got a much better reception from twoweekwait.com.....

 

Babiegurl31, I am sorry. I read more into your post than I should have. Last night was emotionally hard on me, and I had no right to post my comment.

I am very sorry, please except my apology. This ttc and up and coming tests have put me in a real down attitide. Again I am very sorry.

Hi there,

I'm 36, DH is 48 and we're TTC #1. Only started this month, so I'm not holding my breath just yet!!

Congratulations babe!!

 

Hi, im new so i thought id start of by introducing myself. Im 37 and by partner is 34. We've been together for over 4 years and started ttc in june. I can very much relate to many of the postings here as i myself desperately want a baby, preferably yesterday, lol! But seriously, i too catch myself thinking less than generous thoughts when seeing other women pregant or with walking around with prams... i know its not nice but when it seems the whole world is having such an easy time with something you long for more than anything, its difficult not to a bit envious and/or jealous....

my sister in law just had her second baby in less than two years and she's only a year younger than me. it also doesnt help that upon hearing your age everyone says " oh, you better get on with it" !!!?? like i planned to be where i am right now.

needless to say, i know time is running out which i think greatly adds to the frustraration of it all. I have told my partner that if i dont get pregant before january we will go and see the doctor and start down the road of tests etc. i am not looking forward to it, which im sure many of you can well understand-making a baby shouldnt have to be some ardeous and impersonal process but as i cannot conceive of not having children its an option i am wholly embracing....

 

Hi
, I'm Emma,I'm 30 just one more month till i'm 31, my partner and I have been trying since i had my implant taken out in Feb this year, I have two children already and he has one. It would be great to hear from anybody else in the same situation as we are. xx

 

Hello there I'm very new to this (trying for a baby) but not to internet forums . Nice to see a thread for older people trying for babies. I'm 37 and am about to start trying. Came off the pill a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to do all the right things (Folic acid, eating well etc). For the last few years I have been in a difficult relationship which I finally found the courage to leave, and I have met someone new (We've been together a year but known eachother longer) and we both want to have kids so I thought I should actually start being serious about it all.

I've had several friends tell me over the last few years that I should start trying soon because of my age so I am a little scared and anxious about all the possible problems an older mum can have, but am going to take it as it comes. If it's not to be then it's not the end of the world. It's just nice to finally be in a place where having a family could be a reality and to be with someone who will be a great dad.

 

Hi all

I'm 30 and DH is 31 and we have been TTC for 4 years, we have had 4 M/C and are getting investigated at the moment, so hopefully will have some answers soon would really love to have a baby, and I have found this site so wonderful and supportive, its lovely to be able to talk to others that know what you are going through !! instead of listening to all you family and friends saying the same old thing to you!!!

"it wasn't meant to be" "your time will come" " there must have been something wrong with it" " come on hurry up and make me a grandmother"

it so wonder that im still sane!!!!

Hi I'm Lindsy and I'll be turning 30 in January I hope its ok if I join now. My DH(37) and I have a son Noah who is almost 2 1/2. Our son was a great surprise to us since we weren't TTC and now that we are TTC we haven't had any luck yet. We started TTC about 6 months ago. I can't wait to meet other women that are in my shoes. By the way I'm originally from the U.S. but I moved to Canada about 3years ago to be with my husband.

 

Yeah! More people in the 30s group!

 

Hi I'm Kate and almost 39. DH is 43.
We are ttc number 6 BUT ..... the first 2 are mine and adults, the 2nd 2 are Martins and almost adults and then we had Jacob in March, tragically Jacob was born sleeping. We have empty arms and broken hearts.

Now for the first time ever we are TRYING - I mean really trying and its such damn hard work. I feel so old. I was pregnant twice last year, we had a mmc 2 weeks before conceiving Jacob - and yet now its not happening - we have been trying since Mid April and I feel for sure I'll go mad with it all.

I am seeing the consultant next month and think she'll prescribe clomid - although I am ovulating but after cd20 it seems and my cycle is only 29-31 days - so just to add an extra problem my LP is short arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

But I have to tell myself it will happen, I cant imagine the alternative

Love Kate

Good luck Florence, I hope you get your BFP soon. I am sorry to hear about your son.

Welcome to the forum, it's a great bunch here at B&B - everyone is really friendly and fun.

 

Hi everyone

I'm Sarah (33) my husband is 36 and we've been trying to concieve for 12 months. It's only the last 4 months I've started really looking into ovulation times, LH surges etc (I rather naively thought it would happen right away!). I stumbled across this website this evening and felt a wave of relief to find its not just me that doesn't seem to fall pregnant at the drop of of hat!

I feel like I have a constant stream of unanswered questions (do others find a complete, and utter lack of interest from their GP?) My main question if anyone knows please - is it commom/normal to not ovulate every single month? Any ideas why this might happen - i seemed to have stopped ovulating for the last two months.

Thanks.
Sarah x
PS Sorry still learning all the anacronyms so not sure what they all are yet!
