I've been opening the pregnant > 35 thread daily, not to read posts or anything, just to remind myself that it does happen, and not everyone > 35 is automatically barren.
:S :S :S I think hitting the year mark is taking its toll.

Some of us open daily to get news on those that we've gotten to "know" here. It's ok, there's alot of overlap and that's ok.

PAIF/SAIF welcome
I've been reading the pregnant>35 (also 1st trimester) more lately, I DO need some proof that it CAN happen. That board gives me some hope...I also like driving myself crazy with comparing their s/s to my own.

I confess - me too! You're not alone it helps me believe it can happen. I also lurk on SAIF and hope I will make it there someday

Same here...I check it daily (at least) and love to see the TTC35 graduates over there! The "new member" posts are a double edged sword though... the ones that got pg quickly and easily give me hope that I am not as old as I think I am but they also make me want to smack people. Life can be so unfair.
Me: 40 Dh: 41, TTC since August 2009, began Acupuncture and Herbs Sept 2011, began Temping and Charting Nov 2011.
Re: Confession...
Hope is a great reason to open PG >35 thread.

YES! I hope to see a lot of the new friends I am making here in TTC>35 over there.
And definitely keeping the hope alive here in TTCville. Thanks for being so supportive and understanding!
