Hello TTC after 35!
I'm back on the bump after almost a year on the bench. I'm 38 with a 2 yr old dd, and had a partial molar miscarriage last April.
Just had my first RE appt yesterday, very excited about getting testing done. Very curious about the fsh or "egg reserve" bloodwork. Yikes kind of scary.
We are ttc on our own now, don't hold much stock in this month. Just started charting and using opk's.
Got the, "well you are 38... " from my RE when discussing plans. The tone was a little discouraging. We have to see what all the tests say before making any decisions.
I've been hopping around different boards mostly lurking but I hope I can make some kind of contribution to the board.

Welcome! I'm new here too and am in a somewhat similar boat. I had my most recent of two miscarriages in January and had my first RE appointment in February. I haven't done the initial egg reserve tests yet b/c I was nervous and a bit intimidated, so I let a cycle go without following up. I know it's good to have info b/c it will decide how to move forward, so I'm glad you are seeking that info. Good luck, and I hope your stay here is short!
BFP #1: 12/05/2012; EDD 08/09/2013; MC 01/2013 (missed, D&C)
BFP #2: 12/19/2013; EDD 08/25/2014; MC 01/2014 (natural)
@gabbagal it is intimidating and I'm afraid of bad news. I don't want to go through all this ttc stuff if I'm all out though. What did your RE recommend for you?
Thanks for the welcome I hope we all move on soon!

Btw, I don't know why drs say the things they do. I was pregnant at 38 (turned 39 shortly before DD was born) and the specialist who did my level 2 ultrasound told me in the same breath that she saw women my age all the time, and that it was a good thing I was doing the Maternit21 test because "it's not like you're _just_ 35. You're really old!" Huh.
