Introduction TTC at 38

HappililiHappilili member
in TTC after 35
Hello everyone,
Finally introducing myself after a little over 1 month of lurking. :-) I am 38 and my husband is 46. Neither of us have children and we have never tried to have children before we were married. We are newlyweds and have been slowly working our way to A+ TTC status like so many of you are. I have been using the Ovia app for 3 months and earlier this month added checking my BBT and using an OPK. Haven't worked my way to checking CM so that's my next step I guess. Anyway just wanted to say hi and I am so excited to join you!

    Welcome @Happilili!  Be sure to track your "trying" as you've been doing.  Because of your age, you should be able to get a referral to see an RE after 6 months of trying.  Not trying to scare you, but let you know that an RE has a lot more options to provide to you to help you conceive!!  Wishing you luck!  I'm also 38 and TTC#1!!

    Welcome!
     
    Me- 39 (turning 40 in April), TTC for the first time ever (since Jan 2015), low ovarian reserve
    Married 3/14/14 to my wonderful wife, but her sperm count is rather low
    TTC with frozen donor sperm and science

    7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
    2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
    Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
    Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!  
    fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP! 
    Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)

    Thanks guys! And yes, @Piperella, I had the scary "you know you are getting up there" talk with my Gynecologist last summer when I was engaged. If nothing happens in a few more months we will definitely be looking into getting some help. Thanks for the advice about seeing an RE! All the best to everyone!
