i graduate nursing school in two weeks so needless to say, ive been incredibly busy and havent been able to hang out around here. I just got off of a 19 day stretch of twelve hour shifts between work and school, it was rough by i survived and with graduation around the corner it was so worth it.
im so happy for all the BFPs ive been trying to go through and see what ive missed but its SO MUCH. with school ending baby making is going to go into full gear and im excited to be able to focus on it! i have a ob appt at the end of may.. going to probably be looking for RE referrals and go from there.
i hope to be hanging around again alot more, i hope you'll have me

Re: :( well i really miss it around here.. [& bonus poll]
TTC #1 8/2012~Chronic Pelvic Pain Condition began 10/2012~Told I was crazy by many doctors until a good specialist DXed a labral tear and bone impingement in left hip 4/2013~Surgery on left hip: 5/31/13 SUCCESS!!! Pain flares to continue indefinitely (but mostly gone).
Resumed TTC 6/2013~Chronic stomach pain and distension: 8/2013~TTA 1/2014 Until Resolved ~7/2014: Trip to the Mayo Clinic--SUCCESS!! Finally on the road to getting better.
Resumed TTC 7/2014! Third time's the charm....8/2014 Visited the RE~DX: MFI/low morph~Straight to IVF with ICSI! 9/2014~Transferred 1 perfect beautiful 6AA blast with 10 to freeze!!!~10/8/2014: BFP!!!! EDD: 6/17/15 STICK LITTLE BEAN!!! IT'S A BOY!!!!!
Looking at it, especially with what could be the issues at play here, there's no guarantee that anything would have happened any differently. We would have gotten to testing a little sooner, maybe? But there was no way to predict that. Honestly, I thought we'd be trying for #2 by now. I'm pretty sure there are people here who were here when I lurked this board (I started lurking 11/12) that got BFPs when I was first trying who will probably lap me.

DH and I have been married almost 7 years, and I wish we had started TTC sooner. It took us about a year to conceive DD, then I think we waited longer than we should have to start TFAS.
For me, there was not a significant other to TTC with (consensually, ha!) until DH. I would not really have been in financial shape to pursue egg storage or TTC via sperm donor, much less willingly pursuing single parenthood, sooner.
Do I wish circumstances would have been different? Maybe. But my eggs might have been crappy at 30, too. And how can I regret something that was never really a viable possibility 5 or 10 years ago?

Another one for the 26 y/o club!
Eta: although I'll be joining @KawaiiKitsune in October.
ETA: I didn't read the other part. I had my first 2 boys at 19 and 23. I was really young and I wish I'd waited until I matured especially with my first. Now this one it is what it is, I remarried later but I think I will be better prepared.
I'm also 26. 27 next month.
H and I have been married for one year (anniversary was Sunday
I had DD right before I turned 27. I'm happy with our timing so far. I'm not super young, but I'm not old enough to be pressured by my age either.
DH: 45

All welcome
Congrats on finishing nursing school
@RinnyBee & @PeanutRN Happy Birthday!
I'm 25 now. I have always wanted kids. I would have had them way sooner, but DH wasn't ready. Obviously I wanted both of us to be in the right place for them, so we waited. I'm glad we did.
My Ovulation Chart
It's funny though, I haven't thought as much about my age (or DH, who is 12 years older than me!) but DD's age. My bro is 11 years older than me & moved out when he was 17 so I didn't grow up w/ a sibling. I'd like DD to have someone to share her childhood with.
Congrats on finishing school, OP!
edited for format (finally figured out how to add line breaks on iPad!)
I guess I don't bother wishing or thinking what if. Yea getting pregnant in my 20s would have been theoretically ideal but my 20s were a hot mess and the guys I dated were assholes. And here I am lol. I'm just glad I'm happy because I can offer a good life to a baby now. Could never have done that before.
