Hi all, I'm new here, we were just married on Oct 15 2011, and want to start a family right away. We are 36 & 37 y/o.
I've been on BC for many years and only went off it a couple months ago, so we are hoping that doesn't interfere with our getting preggers.
Might sound strange but I was actually dissapointed when I got my period this week, and we have only been TTC for about 2 weeks (when we were full aware I was not even ovulating when we began TTC)
Anyway just wanted to stop in to say hi, and join the TTC after 35 group!

We share the same anniversary, except we were married in 2010. :-)
Best wishes on TTC. Keith and I aren't even technically trying yet, but I still get that little twinge of "aw, man, that sucks" when AF arrives each month. I think it's natural, once you're in the "baby" frame of mind.
Missing our little turkey.
