TTC after 35

Intro and DS mentioned

Hi girls! I see that a fellow TTCALer BootsorHearts intro'd and inspired me to as well. :)  I'm 35 (will be 36 in January) and we have one son.  He was my first pregnancy and we were extremely fortunate that it happened on our first try.  He's the light of our life and we would love to have one more child and a sibling for DS.  Fastforward to August 2011 when I got a BFP after only a couple cycles of trying.  We were elated and oblivious to any potential hurt because from conception to birth of DS went without a hitch.  In September of 2011 I had a missed m/c and a D&C.  We were devistated and took some time to heal and regroup.  Then on December 23, 2011 I got my next BFP.  We were cautious but excited once again and we decided to announce to our parents and my brother on Christmas Eve because we wanted them to know regardless of what may happen so we would have their support.  Then on January 28 (just a few days after my Birthday) it was confirmed by OB that I was having another m/c; a blighted ovum.  Devistation for a second time in a row.  I asked OB when she would start to be concerned of an issue and she said if it happened a third time.  I'm really hoping that I don't ever have to get to that point.  We're currently TTCAL now and I'm hoping that if and when it happens that this is our little rainbow.  I'm not sure if I have it in me to go through testing and so forth let alone the costs financially.  I am mostly on TTCAL and I always support and lurk on PgAL.  I'm hoping I can be a part of this board as well to offer support as much as I can.  Thank you for reading my intro and hope that we can all move on to PgAL, PAIF, PgA35, BMBs, 1st Tri or whatever the case may be as soon as possible! Smile

    We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

    “So can you understand? Why I want a daughter while I’m still young? I wanna hold her hand and show her some beauty before all this damage is done. But if it’s too much to ask, it’s too much to ask … Then send me a son.” – Arcade Fire
  • Welcome, sorry for the late response, I've been having trouble posting during the day. 

    Hope your stay is short and sweet.   You'll find the ladies here are very supportive.
