in TTC after 35
Hello all! 

I am very new to all of this--just got married and TTC #1 now...but not doing much planning for the first few months, just figuring everything out.  I am trying to be good and patient but of course now have babies on the brain nonstop (a big change for someone who thought they maybe didn't want to have their own kids). 

I am 36, DH is 31.  

I am still figuring out all of the charting/temping options and lingo, not going to do anything for a few months except lots of BD.  But trying to learn as much as I can in the interim!  Right now I am, I think, in the TWW of cycle 1...of course without temping/charting I don't know exactly.  And for some reason when I travel (just got back from the honeymoon) my cycles have always gotten really long...so it was hard to predict what might be going on! We shall see...

Looking forward to getting to know some of you and to looking to y'all for guidance and support.  Best wishes to you all! 
36, DH 31 TTC #1 since we got married, July 2014. http://FertilityFriend.com/home/522fa4/

    Welcome! You're going to love it here - it's a great group of women.
    Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

    Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

    UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....

    First-- congrats on you marriage! I am getting married in only 3.5 more weeks on Sept 6th. Can't wait!

    Secondly-- welcome to the board! Everyone here is very supportive, and I am sure you will love it. 

    I agree that charting is a good plan of action. It will really help you pinpoint what your cycle is doing and when you ovulate, etc. I use Fertility Friend to chart as well as their free app.

    GL!
