[ANYA]

Hi all, I just started back on BNB after a break so I though I'd reintroduce myself. I'm almost 31 and DH is almot 38 we've been TTC for 10months with no luck.

Nice to meet all you ladies.

Hello ladies!

I'm 30, DP is 28 and we live together for 2 years and 2 months now.
We are TTC#1, for our 1st.
Looking forward to this, even tho I always thought I was not the mother type...

A bit scared about the whole thing, but excited too.

Hi All - I'm new here and TTC baby #3. Never had a problem before and conceived boy (6) and girl (4) first month of trying. Also conceived again when daughter was 4 months (Feb 05), but sadly lost the pregnancy at 6 weeks - that baby was the result of a one off, very rushed and stressful 'quickie' between nappy changes and bottle washing!! I'm 35 now, and husband 53, so very nervous that after 5 months of serious trying, we are suddenly unable to conceive together. Could be we were just lucky last time around, and that what we are experiencing is within normal limits, but I am puzzled by the sudden difficulty. We're both still healthy, and reasonably relaxed -if not a bit more weather worn than we once were!!!

I am already tired of OPK monitoring, failed HPTs and frantic attempts each month - does the lying still for 30 mins with legs aloft after umpteen "bumpy cuddles" push anyone else to the limit?

Anyone else like us, and they get there in the end?

Feel like giving up at the mo, afterall we do have two other kids to enjoy - andat the moment they've got a grumpy stressed out Mum

Love and good luck to you all xxx0.

Good luck to you all!!! Lots of

Hi, I am in the 30's club too as my husband is 39 and I am 30. I have two kids from a previous marriage, he doesn't have any, so I guess we could call this TTC #1. We had a miscarriage in July/August, so we are ready to try again! Next week I can check for a !!!

Can I join? I won't be thirty til May, but OH is 35, and I don't really feel like I'm in my twenties anymore....

We're TTC our first child, came off the pill at the end of September and obviously hoping for a Christmas BFP. I can test on the 16th, but will obviously be peeing on anything that remotely resembles a stick for days beforehand.

Welcome!! Thanks for the laugh today! I can just picture you, picking up a pencil or wooden spoon & peeing on it

It's not safe for me to walk across a cricket pitch anymore - those wickets are mighty tempting....

ooh.. I only just discovered this thread.. I'm 35, turning 36 on NYE my other half is a cute litte 32 year old. I am terrified that I may not be able to get pregnant as I'm forever being told that I need to "make plans", "get cracking" etc etc... I have been off the pill for 2 years but we were actively avoiding pregnancy. Now that I've been TTC for 4 months I'm getting a bit worried in case my luck at avoiding pregnancy wasn't "luck" after all!

Anyway, glad to find this thread!!

 

[ellie]

glad to find this too - i am 36 oh 37, starting ttc a year ago but m/c'd and only now plucking up the courage to ttc again (in jan/feb) - i too panic and worry and have had to stop reading all the books etc due to getting obsessed about being over 35 and ttc for #1 !!! (i also started obsessively searching for 'older mum' celebrities and anyone who had babies older and were ok.... sad huh!)

 

[Loo]

Ha ha!!

I've done the same re celebs!! I am forever checking out how old they are on wikipedia!!

Welcome to you all.
