Hi. my name is Angie, I have a ten year old daughter from a previous relationship. I raised her entirely alone until i met my partner Mike 18 months ago.
We have both decided we want a family together so i came off the pill (cerrazette) 5 weeks ago but as yet havnt even been visited by AF so obviously my cycle is still not back to normal. we have been TTC from the day i stopped taking BC and am getting a bit frustrated as its hard to know if we are trying at the right times as no period yet.
Am hoping either A) AF arrives soon or B) i fall pregnant before i get one. Have done lots of tests and all negative so far so watch this space. Look forward to getting to know you all and GOOD LUCK!!

Hi Everyone,

I'm 32, just recently married and now ttc. My DH is 30, and thought that maybe we'd wait a little before ttc, but now that we're married he's all for it.

I just came off BC pills (Allesse) and haven't had a full cycle yet, so don't even know if I'll be able to get pg this month or not, but here's to trying, right?

Hi All,

I am Maz, and am 36. Me and DH have been TTC #2 for 15 months now.
We already have a DS who is 17 (yes, that's years, not months!!!!)

We are currently undergoing tests with consultant gynaecologist.

Hope we are all well, and get a real soon xxx

Welcome all you new BnBers! Sarahncliff: Just thought I'd post a special message for you because I recently lost faith that I'll ever get P (still TTC#1 right now... been TTC since January 2008 ). I posted this thread: I need hope! Please reply if you TTCd more than 6 months then got a BFP! and received some wonderful replies from other BnBers that gave me hope that I will get a one day. Have a look and hopefully it will lift your spirits like it did mine.

Hello again ladies,

I've been away for my friends wedding. Seemed to be alot of other 30+ at the do who have just had a little one or are expecting. So was trying not to get too broody... had lots of questions about when we are going to try! Not realising that the trying has begun. AF appeared 10 days late in July, first time it has been so late in a couple of years! typical. Have normally had 28-30 day cycle, based on that should be o/v this weekend. but now with last cycle being so late,it's hard to try and calculate. don't really want to get into spending on o/v tests, especially as its early days. Any other views on the ov tests?

Hi there ladies,
I've been snooping around this site now for a couple of days. You seem a really friendly lot so I thought I'd lurk no longer and introduce myself. I'm 38 and my DH is 37 and we've been ttc for 7 months. I'm trying not to get obsessed with it, in fact I've looked at what some of you do each month (CM, BBT, charts etc.) I do none of that and I feel a bit ashamed with myself, no wonder it's taken me so long - perhaps denial isn't the answer after all! In fact I've never even had the pain of a 2WW, my cycle goes from 28 - 45 days so I never really know when to start waiting!!!! Anyway, I've bitten the bullet and just ordered myself a CBFM which should arrive soon. I don't really want to live my life around the highs and peaks (but I bet I will) but just want to find out if I'm actually ovulating or not before I start bothering the Doctor!

I don't want to waffle on too much but it's really comforting to see so many older ladies on this forum, I though maybe I'd left it too late. Once piece of encouraging news that I can give you is that two of my friends both gave birth to beautiful baby boys last year and they were both 42 when they conceived (it took one 6 months, the other 6 years (but that's another story!)).

Anyway, hello again and I look forward to joining in a few discussions.

Hello Everyone

I'm 31 and have been married for nearly 5 years to DH who's 34. We've been ttc for about 14 months although pretty casually at first and for the past 6 months more seriously when no BFP came our way! I had a real thing about sharing with my friends and family that we're ttc as had a weird idea that talking about it would be bad luck - maybe I was wrong and not talking about it is the problem. Anyway, I expect DH is sick with my obessing and getting upset when AF turns up - bless him. It's great that there's somewhere i can come where there's other people who understand!

xxxxxxxxxx
