Intro on this board, not new to the bump!

in TTC after 35
Hello!
I'm a new, FTM mom to a 4.5 m/o LO.  I turned 39 a week after she was born.  I'm sure I sound INSANE to some, but we are TTC again now that my doc gave us the thumbs up at my last appointment.  I've had friends who have tried for 8 years after the first to get pregnant again.  We've always wanted two, and I'm not getting any younger, so we figure we will start trying now - why not?  I never really posted much during my pregnancy b/c I was so busy, but I am really going to need some support now for several reasons - becoming a SAHM, being a FTM, TTC, being 39 y/o.  Looking forward to getting to know some of you ladies.  I love the 35+ boards here.  There is such a different energy.  And by "energy," I'm not referring to the physical stuff - my crackling knees remind me of that on a daily basis.  :)

    Welcome. I don't think you are crazy at all for trying for #2 right away. I hope you get your BFP soon( I'm one of the ones that it takes a while ;) ).
    This board really is wonderful. We support one another through anything.
    Good luck updating your ticker. If you need help doing it just enter ticker help in the search box and that should give you enough threads to help.

    Hi! I'm new both to The Bump and to this board, but I wanted to reply and tell you I don't think you're crazy either. I'm in pretty much the same boat--I'm also TTC #2, also 39, and our daughter is 6 months old. Good luck to you!

    I'm in a similar position. My LO is almost 5 months. My info is in my signature. I don't think your crazy at all. It took MH and I 3 years and 2 ivf's to have our son. I'm terrified at how long it will take this time if it will happen at all. Wishing you the best of luck!

    Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great :)  EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!

    Good luck to you, too, @Mayzie15!  I just talked to a girlfriend last night that figured she would wait to try for #2 so she could space her children 2 years apart.  9 years later she says she wishes she had tried right away.

    Welcome, @wolcottmom

    I wish you a speedy "stay" here. ;)

    I am 36 and have an 11 month old. DH and I are thinking about starting to TTC in the next six months, so I have been lurking around here.
