I'll be 40 in January...and when I was young and silly I thought by this point I would have my 3 kids and be all settled down.
DH and I have not set any sort of limits or milestones yet and are pretty much taking it one procedure at a time. He says that we can just keep going until they tell us to stop & I kinda like that thinking.

Yes, and they constantly change. In a strange way it's kind of a relief to know that our next IVF (#3 oop) will be the last. We thought IVF #2 would be, but since the dr has now given me no chance of conceiving without it, we're going to give it one final shot. It's made me slow down my rush to get pg and focus on making sure I'm in tip top health and that every last possibility has been explored before we cycle. Also, after having to take the methotrexate, I have been forced to refocus/extend my timeline (looking for a silver lining, ha).

It seems like just yesterday I started TTC DC #2 at age 36 1/2. I turned 38 in June, and now just missed the chance of giving birth until at least 39. I'm hoping 39 is the year, but I really don't want to set up a "date", know what I mean?
Re: Anyone set up milestones for themselves re TTC?
Hi, MD.
Sort of, but I have changed it..
We started TTC when I was 39, and I thought we would try for a year - that would mean December.
At the six month mark, I already knew that I wouldn't stop in December.
We'll go another year, if necessary, and then see how I feel about things.
At that point, I would suspect we'll start adoption proceedings. Or maybe just take six months away from Baby Land.
But if I/DH/we just get tired of this rollercoaster before a year is up, we will stop before that.
