in TTC after 35
Hi everybody! I turn 38 next week and DH is 36. We were married in January and this is a second marriage for both of us. DH has a DD who is a couple months away from turning 4. I've really enjoyed being her stepmom so I'm excited to add to our family. I recently went off BCP and started charting so we are officially TTC. I'm both excited and nervous because I never envisioned that I'd be trying for #1 at age 38, but we'll see what happens.

 TTC since August 2011, Me = 40, DH = 38
Unexplained IF. Tried Clomid for 3 cycles. All BFNs. BFP 1/6/13. Chemical pregnancy.

Moving on to IVF#1. ER 11/26/13, 16 eggs retreived, 12 mature and all fertilized. 2 blasts transferred on 12/1. All other embies arrested so nothing left to freeze. Beta 12/10 = BFN. IVF #2 March 2014. BFP!!! TEAM BLUE!!!

    GL.  Just to let you know although you are "older" that does not necessarly mean you will have difficulty TTC.  I was 37.5 when we TTC #1 and got pg within 3 mos of trying, so it does happen.  Hopefully you will get a BFP very soon.  I'm sure you will like this board.  The ladies are very supportive and knowledgeable!  Once again GL!
