How old are you and how long of you been TTC?

*punkinpie* · June 2009

The other part of my debbiedowner day is that I feel like I'm too old to start my family. I am 31. We've been TTC for 3 years now and have had 1 m/c and 1 ectopic.

How about you?

futureevans · June 2009

I am 31 and we just started trying!

candlcrazee · June 2009

LOL I feel too that I am tooo old. I will be 31 in Oct, and we have been ttc since november 08, we got PG right away, but lost her @ 22 weeks, due to what the drs call a FREAK of nature. We are going to try again, as soon as AF comes and goes(hopefully quick)

Sue&Pasquale · June 2009

you are not old! Woman have babies in their 40s now. I just look at the stars today, they all seem to be older then I feel better. I think well Julia roberts was in her 40s. I am ok.

I am 34. I started TTC when I was 32.

Mia07 · June 2009

25- Been trying for about 4 mo after losing Sophia... took us 6 months to get pg with her.... so I guess that's 10 months of trying combined

JenyM · June 2009

30, TTC- 1 year off bcp ( started "trying" after first m/c), 2 m/cs

traceandrob · June 2009

Im 26, DH 32. We've been ttc since December, BFP in March and now on cycle 2 ttc after m/c. Best of luck to all!

amberdaz · June 2009

30 yo

TTC Sept 08 - 2nd cycle TTCAL

SweetieD21 · June 2009

I'm 27. We weren't really trying when we got our first bfp. We've only been really trying for 4 months. And right now we're avoiding until August...because we're going on vacation in July and don't want to be due in the winter.

myafoo · June 2009

You girls are NOT old.

I am 35 and we've been trying for a total of one year and have had 2 losses. Certainly makes me wish we didn't choose to wait, that's for sure.

lelia · June 2009

I?m almost 31 and we have been TTC for almost two years now.

krate24 · June 2009

I'm 27. Started not preventing last July and got pg right away. Unfortunately she was stillborn at 27 weeks due to a septum in my ute that caused all sorts of issues. Just had my surgery a couple of weeks ago and am waiting four more weeks to check and make sure that everything healed all nicely. Pending that, I can try again around September. So, however many months that is.

Jacquiemark · June 2009

I'm 31, started TTC end of January 2009, started TTCAL April 2009.

lovesinthehouse · June 2009

I definitely do not believe you are old.

I'm approaching 26 and have been TTC since I was 24. 12 cycles TTC total. 3 pre-m/c, 9 post-m/c.

jen-dale · June 2009

I will be 33 next month. DH and I started trying in June 2008.

mlmtgg · June 2009

this will make you feel better: I'm 35, and have been ttc since 1/2008. 2 m/c. ugh.

talk about depressing.

Nancy6306 · June 2009

DH and I are both 37 and will be 38 this fall. I have a 7 year old daughter from my first marriage and a 2 year old with DH. Miscarriage #1 (15 weeks) happened on 5/08, that pregnancy came as a surprise. We started trying in August of 08 for our last pregnancy. After six months of TRYING we decided to let nature take it's course. We got our BFP on 5/1 and that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage last week (11 weeks).?

Although I do agree that many women are putting off having children and waiting until their late 30's and 40's, I personally would not recommend it. If you are in a stable, loving, relationship...as well as financially stable, you are better off having your children sooner than later. I just happened to marry the wrong guy the first time around and stuck it out for ten depressing years. DD#1 was born the last year he and I were together. Had I made a better choice earlier on, I believe I would have been done having kids by now and my youngest would probably be in preschool or kindergarten by now.?

cindybaf · June 2009

You are not too old!!! I'm also 31, I've been with DH 10 years, married for 3, he's 28. It's been two years from our e/p, when I lost my left tube. We're just now starting to ttc again.

BigSar1 · June 2009

I am 29, I stoped taking BCP in December of '08 got pg in March '09. We are going to start trying again in a few weeks.

KelinandKevin · June 2009

I'm 28, DH is 38. I tried for 5 years with my previous marriage and DH and I tried for about 5 months before our BFP, and have been another 5 months since our loss.

HugginAngel · June 2009

I'm 28

we officially hit one year this month. It took about 7mo to get our first and now it's like 2mo since.

dkfitz07 · June 2009

I am 23 DH is 24

Trying since Jan 2009, TTCAL since March 2009

KearnsL23 · June 2009

I am 31, DH will be 34 in 2 weeks. We got preggo on the first try and m/c 6 weeks later. We've really trying for 3 months now.

teppy2008 · June 2009

So far, I appear to be the elder stateswoman of the group. I am 38 and just started TTC 6 months ago. I wish I had started earlier, but I didn't find the right guy until I was 35 and I think having a loving relationship is the most important thing. We got pregnant on our first try, but that ended in miscarriage. You are not even remotely too old to start a family at 31. I may be pushing it. I suspect we will quit trying if we aren't successful within the next year.

knelli · June 2009

i just turned 27 last week, DH is 35. We got pg right after our wedding in October 08 and have now been trying since our loss in January.

suntoto@gmail.com · June 2009

I will be 34 in Sept. We have been trying for 1 and a half years.

scooter999 · June 2009

I am almost 29/ dh is 31. We weren't trying when we got pg before....but since the m/c we are ttc. This is the 3rd real cycle of trying (4th if you count the one right after m/c that was all messed up!)

Bethany06 · June 2009

I will be 25 in 2 weeks and we have been trying since Nov 2007

lunatwo · June 2009

I am 41 and we have been trying for 15 months now. And now thanks to this post I am fully depressed.

BabyRN2009 · June 2009

Both DH and I are 23 and we've been trying since December '08, but I've been off of the Pill since February '08. We had 1 m/c in February '09, then I was dx with PCOS this month.

ade2be · June 2009

I'm 28, but DH is 42.....so sometimes I feel like the longer this takes the more I "cheat" him out of.

We started ttc in Sept, 2008

dondraandluis · June 2009

I am 25. We have been TTC since October '08. Got BFP 1/23/09. I had a missed m/c and D&C 2/26/09. We are on our 3rd cycle TTCAL.

31 is not too old to start a family!

gypsywitch · June 2009

I am 23, DH is 25. We've been trying for a year. We've concieved and M/C'd twice in that span.

elenarf · June 2009

You are not old...My mom was 42 when she had my little brother. I thought she was crazy then but I love him so much!

I am 27 and we have been TTC since November. M/C in March at 6w6d

SJBride05 · June 2009

I'll be 30 in 2 weeks and have been trying since 7.07...so almost 2 years.

PeetiePie · June 2009

28 (for a few more weeks)

Went off bc in December 2008. This is my 2nd cycle after the m/c.

luvsbunny · June 2009

Do you all really think you are old? Seriously?

I am 33 and I think at a great age to start trying. 30-45 is the regular age for having kids nowadays.

After I tried for 1 yr with no success I confess I thought about age being an issue. I had 3 OBs and 1 RE tell me that I am a baby myself. That up to 40 yrs old they don't see a problem and 40 -45 are still within child bearing age.

You'll all have babies.

csquared425 · June 2009

I just turned 33 on Sunday. My OB said that 35 is prime baby time nowadays, so don't feel too old at 31 (and those of us older then 31 won't take offense). ;-)

We officially start to TTC next month - pretty much 1 month from today.

Good luck!

eline0325 · June 2009

I am 31, and have been TTC since I was 29. With a 4 month break inbetween.

blondie223 · June 2009

I'm 31, DH is 28 and we officially started TTC 11/07 and I got pg in 11/07, ended in m/c. Been trying again ever since, had c/p in Feb 09, so we just keep trying. I don't think 31 is too old. DH and I have been together for 8 years, married for 2 1/2, we wanted to enjoy each other first and have time to travel before bringing children into the picture.

Ssweets04 · June 2009

I'm 28 been TTC since August 2007
