TTC after 35

introducing myself

Hi guys! I'm new here - just starting to go down this road, and thought I would say hi.  I'm 36 and my FH is 37. We are getting married in June but are just starting to try to conceive now. I figured I will need some serious support throughout this process, so thanks for letting me participate.

    All welcome

  • Thanks guys! Sorry for belated reply. The site didn't publish my post right away, so I had clicked off the site thinking it was a fail. Imagine my surprise when I logged in today to see so many friendly hellos!

    The wedding planning is going pretty well. I definitely don't regret the long engagement, as it gave me plenty of time to plan the wedding, otherwise I can see how wedding planning could get ridiculously stressful. It's going to be at a hotel on the balcony overlooking the ocean in Northern Cali. Kind of my dream venue - I still can't believe I actually get to get married there!

    Thanks for all your encouragement. I am actively TTC starting this month but am being realistic that my chances are not super high right now. Complicating matters for me is that I am currently living apart from my FH (I am in a one-year position in a different city, due to move back in July after the wedding). We see each other a few times a month but obviously that is a big card stacked against the process for now. I'm also a type I diabetic on an insulin pump (well controlled, thankfully), so some health issues to deal with too. 

    Thanks again for your support, and I very much appreciate being able to post on this forum!
