TTC after 35

Yet another intro

Hi, my name is liliewest and I'm a lurk-a-holic (no offense to any twelve-step groups intended). I've been lurking around the bump since I was pregnant with DS#1 off and on, including TTC after 35 last summer when I was TTC DS#2. I decided that it is high time to come out of my lurking closet.

I just turned 37 last week, DH is 50, and as you can see from my ticker (if I actually did it right) I have 2 little boys. E is 2.5y, born at 33.0 weeks and L is 7 mo, born at 34.0 weeks. I also had a missed miscarriage at 10.0 weeks in between them. DH and I have gone back and forth on whether we wanted to try for #3 given my inability to bake my babies full term (full work-up has been negative) and our ages. We finally decided to at least try. I am still weaning DS#2 (actually weaning my breast pump, since he lost interest in bf when I went back to work). Since my cycles are still crazy long, I suspect that I am not ovulating yet. I plan on temping this cycle  while I finish weaning as a start.

I hope there is room for me here. My lurking experience is that the ladies on this board are extremely supportive and positive and I hope that I can offer my support and share some of my experiences with all of you.

  • Welcome. Glad your joining us.

    The weaning your breast pump comment cracked me up. I'm sure it will get over it, but even if doesn't there's an excellent chance it will be back in action.

    Welcome. Glad your joining us.

    Thanks for the welcome! Seriously, my pump and I have a love/hate relationship.
