Hello Other Mature Ladies

Hello! I'm 36, DH is 43- TTC #1 since May 2013. I find it funny that I'm in the 35+ club because I do not feel old and didn't mean to wait so long to start my family. Definitely second guessing my life decisions at this point. I started posting in TTTC board a month or so ago but have been lurking here and love the energy. I never thought I'd use an online forum for support but it has honestly been a blessing.
Up to now I've been doing acupuncture and Chinese herbs, but just picked up a Clomid Rx yesterday. After an extended vacation out of the country I am finally back to feeling positive and optimistic and am so grateful for the shift in mindset. I'm on cycle day 12 so we'll try naturally once more before trying Clomid. I love a plan! Also I very much enjoy reading others BFP stories- they def keep me going!

Best of luck to you. Who knew we would try so hard to not get pregnant to get our lives in order... And of course when we're ready, we have such a hard time?! It doesn't make any sense!!!
