in TTC after 35
Well, I've taken some small steps to get back "in the game" while I wait for my husband to decide he's ready to TTC again. I've asked him that we start again with my next cycle, so in about another 4 weeks as I'm close to my ovulation date for this cycle right now. I've started to eat healthy in order to lose weight that I've put on over these last 10 months where we haven't been TTC. I ordered a workout video to start at home. And I finally got the labs done that my OB GYN ordered in January. I also started taking my prenatal vitamin again and am taking OPK tests. My next step is to start temping again starting at the beginning of my next cycle. I feel like I want to prepare my body as best I can so that when my husband finally wants to TTC, I'll be in the best position possible. It's scary to me because I'm just afraid to continue to be disappointed, but it also feels good to do something and take some control back. I never thought this journey would be so hard.

It sounds like you have a really good game plan. You are definitely taking charge of your fertility. I hope all your prep pays off when you do start trying.
Good luck next month.
