New member introduction

in TTC after 35
Hi, everyone!
DH and I have been together for 9 years and married this April. I'm 35 and he's 38. We love our two cats, but would like to have at least one child. We waited a long time to get married becuase we wanted to be settled in our careers. I'm a medical librarian, so I do a bunch of health-related research for my job. In my spare time, I read TONS. I love crafting and baking and am anxious to get back to quilting. I've made about 8 quilts so far and have plans for about 10 more.

We're just starting TTC this month. I've been really concerned about the chances of ttc #1 after 35 and am psyched this community exists. I've been on bcps for over 15 years and honestly a little worried about my cycle resetting and actually ovulating.
I can be kind of shy, but I'm looking forward to joining this community!

@vlagrl29 I didn't temp before my loss and wish I had because now, trying to start has been so overwhelming. I think I may be jumping to your side and just stop. I got pg both times not charting and temping. Unfortunately both ended in loss.
@libgirl1981 I was late to the game too ttc. I just got married this past summer. Good luck with your journey.
Intro:
I intro'd back in June when we first ttc. But here goes aga@vlahop
Me 36.5 and DH 33.
TTC since 6/16
Faint positive in August that ended in CP.
BFP#2 9/15 Ectopic loss 9/23 6 shots of methotrexate. Still waiting impatiently for AF to show up!
I am benched until 2 full cycles before we can ttc again. We might wait longer just for peace of mind. The research is all over the place about the timing after methotrexate based on different schools of thought. I feel like when my cycles are regular again we will ttc. I was always regular before the losses.
I am on the ttcal board frequently because it's more active and I take comfort in the fact that I have support from others who have had similar experiences. I've been feeling lately that I have so many odds stacked against me with my age, loss history, and some medical problems. I am hoping to not put all my focus on ttc and try to let it happen naturally without any medical intervention, but I am not opposed to that, just not financially ready for that right now.
@vlagrl29 - I'm a bit of a worrier too, so I am hoping it doesn't get too stressful to keep it up. I'm really just hoping to get a handle on my cycle - been on BCPS so long I can't remember my cycles beforehand.
