in TTC after 35
Hi. I'm new to TTC and thebump community. I just got married last month and my husband is 44, so we've decided to get down to business. If I could wait longer I would, because I do cherish our current lifestyle and newlywed bliss. But I know this could take years and I REALLY want to have a baby, so here I am. I've been tracking my cycle for a few years via an app and haven't been on BC. I plan to start temping and charting after my next cycle. My period is actually a little late-- I'm on day 37 and usually have 32-36 day cycles. It feels too early to take a HPT though. This all feels like TMI... but I guess we are here to share, right?

There doesn't seem to be a ton of activity in the 35+ section (apparently I missed something?), but I hope your stay here is a short one!

Welcome to the board and congrats on recent wedding!
I just have to comment: I have so many friends in their mid/late-30's (and 3 in early 40's) who have gotten pg no problem, but my 2 friends who had the most problems actually started in their late-20's and didn't get pg until mid-30's (with some help from science). Sometimes it feels like the internet does more harm than good regarding scaring women 35+ TTC.
Vent complete, feels good to get that out!~ lol
@Lu19 - I have encountered so many women who started TTC after 35...seems like there are so many these days...and none of them have had any issues other than just being scared because they were considered high risk.
Husband: 40
TTC#1 since 9/2014
