TTC after 35

Intro (children mentioned)

Hello Ladies!  I was here a couple of years ago and then DH decided we were done trying.  However, now he's onboard again - YAY!

I am 38 (39 in July) and DH is 40.  We have three children ages 16, 13 and 9 - I'm crazy for wanting another right??  I work in Human Resources (questions about FMLA, discrimination, insurance, etc. welcome!) and DH works with developmentally disabled adults.  We don't have any pets, which is good because the kids would expect me to do all the work.  I love to sew, knit and crochet but don't have the time - ugh.

I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and wish you all luck on this journey!

  • @vlagrl29 @LivingTheDream DH & i have discussed him getting snipped once we have one or two... part of me thinks it may not be necessary since we have to work so hard to get pregnant, the other part of me knows once i feel like i'm done i'll suddenly become the most fertile woman on the planet . that's just how my luck goes  :D

    ::Stuck in a box::

    Isn't that the truth! If I have #3 it will be another c/s and I'm getting my tubes tied. You never know. A girlfriend of mine is about to have her third c/s, and is also making her husband get a vasectomy. She is not messing around.
          
  • call me cray but I'd think of a vbac with #2 - but at this point I'd be lucky to get pregnant so I'd be totally down for a c section again.  I would not get tubes tied even if I had a section.  DH needs to take one for the team.
