Just a quick introduction - newbie alert

in TTC after 35
Hello!
Me: 35, DH 33 TTC since 11/13
First time TTC.
Was just going to "let it happen", then 3 months went by and I said, well, lets try the "scientific" way. So I've been charting since February.  Learning a lot about my body (some a little gross).  Now I know what that pain is (ovulation) ... seriously thought something was wrong with me as I've never had it before (started only 2 years ago) - weird.

My midwife said to come back after 6 months of TTC, so...crossing fingers for this month.

Good luck everyone!

And yes, I've read the guidelines :)

    Welcome! :)
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    Welcome! I was where you are about 5 years ago. My best advice is not to wait more than 1 year TTC naturally. Get yourself and DH to a good RE if you aren't successful in a year. RE's shed so much light on the process. But, I hope you have wonderful luck and don't need one!
