TTC at 38 - first month of our TTC Journey

in TTC after 35

Hi everyone,

I am new to this site and just wanted to say hello.  My husband Brian (45 yrs old) and I (38 yrs old) have recently gotten married after 4 years and would like to try and have a baby.

In terms of our age, I realize that we are in for quite a challenge and perhaps a real emotional rollercoaster ride.  Looking forward to hearing from you and would appreciated any words of wisdom.

 Best of luck to all of you.

 Louise time

    Welcome and congratulations on your new marriage! ?My husband and I were the same ages as you and your husband when we married a year ago. Just remember, that age isn't always a factor in getting pg. ?Lots of women our age and older get pg quite easily! ?Unfortunately, I am not one of them. Best of luck in your journey.

    Hi, I am 39 right now and ttc #2. I am 18 DPO and really should test because there is a good chance I may be pg after trying for a couple of months. I have been late before so.........Anyway, I got married at 36 and ttc #1 at 37 and got pg on the first cycle that I really had good timing (Used a CBEFM). There are a lot of people on this board who have difficulties and some who have not. While age is a factor, I know many people in their late 30's who did not have any difficulties. I also have a few younger friends who have had a lot of trouble conceiving. Everybody's situation is different. Good luck!

    Welcome, Louise!

    Like you, I am a newlywed?married in June?and am 38.  MH is 37 and we are TTC our first child. It really is an emotional rollercoaster but I wish you the best and hope you will get pregnant easily.

    I'll know tomorrow if I'm pg or not, since my cyce is typically predictable at 28 days, but I don't think I am. We'll see...

    Wishing you the best!

    Welcome! I got married 2 months before turning 37 and now I am 38 and not pg yet. But that said, many women do get pg easily at our age, so we have to keep trying and hoping and have a plan in place in case it doesn?t happen soon. GL and I hope you get your BFP!
    Me: 44 DH: 42. DS born healthy at 40 weeks 8/24/09. TTC since then with no luck or ART. Surprise BFP 8/6/14... MMC @ 8 weeks 4 days... Miss you everyday sweet baby angel.
