Looking for a new buddy or two that are over 40....

in TTC after 35
I am looking for a couple buddies to connect with that are over 40 on this crazy, emotional, exciting journey. I am 42 and DH is 41. We started TTC#1 (and likely only) when we got married in June but did nothing but have more sex until last month when I used on OPK. This month I started temping and am using a fertility monitor. I love these boards but find that most people on here are younger and don't necessarily understand the pressures and risks of being over 40 and TTC.

    Hi! I'll be your buddy. I'm 40 and trying to conceive #2. :) there is a "fabulous 40s" check in most weeks, so that's a good place to connect too.

    Welcome and best of luck to you. I'm 41. There are more obstacles once you hit 40, as related to TTC, so I think it's helpful to have others to bond with. 
    Hope you are out of here soon
