TTC after 35

Intro - TTC #1 at 38

Hey everyone! :)

I'm one of the AMA from the TTGP group that came over recently (@ahrains @aurora1973 @redbreast35 @laurad75).
DH and I have been married for almost 4 years now, and I always said I was not going to have kids - but things change  and here we are now :) We've been trying for about 4 or 5 months , so I imagine an RE appointment is on the horizon for us soon. The first few months were just casually trying, but the past 2 months have been with temping, opks and better timed BD. 

I'm a 38 year old physics teacher from Texas, and I really love working out, reading and belly dancing!

Anyways, it's great to be here and I hope I get to know all you lovely ladies :)

    Welcome to the board! I'll be 38 in a couple months and about to hit our 6-month mark of trying without success (like you, first couple months were casual, now getting more active with OPKs and timings). Bummed, but this board has been so supportive and helpful :) ... and now I want to try belly dancing, lol

    Welcome! Physics and belly dancing, that's awesome. Who says women can't do it all? :D

    I'm about to turn 38 and TTC #2.  Had #1 at 36.

    Some OPKs work better for some people than others and our bodies also seem to change over time. The CB monitor was useless for me when we were trying for #1 (now 15 months), but the wondfos worked perfectly. This time around, I can't seem to get a clear answer from the wondfos. :disappointed. :
    Sorry for going off on a tangent. 

    This board was much more active when I was first TTC and was a great place to get expert advice but also just a lighthearted break from the everyday. 

    Welcome and I hope your stay is short and sweet (although for the sake of the board, I do hope you all stick around)! 

  • Welcome! I'll be 38 this month and now officially off the bench after 7 months. BTW, that gif is hilarious!
