Intro!

in TTC after 35

Hi everyone,

My DH and I are now beginning our 4th cycle TTC ? I?ve been lurking for a while but held off posting until now, as I wasn?t sure how my path would unfold.   I?m 36 (37 in July)? we?ve been together for 10 years and married for almost 2.  So I wanted to say HI! and introduce myself!

It?s funny  - up until recently we actually have not been in a rush to begin TTC.  We are going on vacation to China in May and had originally planned to begin TTC once we got back.  However, in late 2011 I began to do research and only then began to internalize how hard it would be to get pregnant.  It?s pretty amazing how much you learn how NOT to get pregnant, and not really so much time about how HARD it is to GET pregnant when you?re ready! So panic attacks ensued and we decided to start in January ? we decided that if we were lucky enough to get a BFP, we would happily cancel the China trip.  And here we are?.Needless to say, we?re off to China! 

This board and all of you have been so helpful.  I have been following and rooting for so many of you -  Lamamama, Mrs. McIrish, MelleTX and many others - and I just love the support you all share, whether comfort or advice.    

As for my journey - we started with the CBEFM only on our first cycle, and based on everyone?s advice we have been temping/charting starting on my 2ndcycle, which has been really helpful.   My cycles, so far, have been predictable and on the shorter side, which has been a blessing in managing the waiting game.  I have my annual with my gyn in about a week so I?m going to see what she says ? I?m sure not much but do hope to walk out with a RE referral.

Anyway ? just wanted to say hi!
