in TTC after 35
Just turned 38, and now my partner and I will be jumping aboard the TTC wagon for the first time as of next week. Yikes! Very excited but also scared a bit out of my wits.
I was pregnant once in my late 20's - I was a surrogate for friends who couldn't carry their own. Everything went fine, and it was an amazing experience getting to be part of that. So, I know what pregnancy is like, just haven't been a parent myself yet 
So, hi to all and thanks for having an awesome forum for folks to turn to
