Hey thanks girls, nice to hear from you all.. I will check out those other ones too... another question, once I have my BT done tomorrow morning, how soon will I hear from FA about the outcome?

not my first but I was 36 when got pregnant now... took alittle while longer - although we had a break of like 3-4 months.

Good luck - and don';t forget to have fun

Yes me! I'm 36 and TTC for # 1.
Been off bcp since Jan, but then I've been away from home with work for the last six, only now are DH and I getting a chance to spend any time together.

I'm hoping we get lucky this month, otherwise I'll be giving birth at 37!

Really this is our 1st month, I've been off bcp since Jan but I've been away with work since April only home on the weekends.
I've started temping this month, more so I have some idea of what my cycle is doing.
I did go from a regular 28 day cycle to a now regular 35 day cycle after thinking I might be preggers in May.
I saw my GP this week (had a sinus infection to clear up) and he said to give it a good 12 months of TTC and then come back to him, so if I'm not preggers by Jan 2010 I'll see him then.
My cycle is regular and AF is good, apart from being overweight I'm otherwise in good health so really there's no medical reason why we can't concieve.

My Dr did say it takes longer at 36 than at 26 to conceive. I found I did get a little obcessed esp when my cycle changed, and after spending a fortune on negative HPTs decided that it needed to stop.

Its not too late, my SIL is a mid wife and she's had lots of women between 35-40 having their first.

34 is a great time to be TTC

I didn't want kids in my 20s either, I didn't meet DH until I was 27 so was never going to be a young mum.

Welcome Happygal ! I'm 40 in Dec & TTC #1. DH is 35 & has no children either. The ladies on here are soooo helpful - they either know the answer or know where to google it ! Hope your stay here is a short one.

Best baby dust wishes

Hi Happygal,

Nope, I'm not on Clomid!
Seems like everyone on here just about is so I feel a bit left out

I had just turned 37 when I fell pregnant with my first, and we got lucky on our first month of trying. My midwife told me I am far from being the exception these days and that many of her first time mums are in their mid to late 30's. Also several first time mums in our antenatal group were 30-somethings as well.

I did chart for the couple of months before we tried so that we could focus on our fertile time but also because I was convinced it would take a while and wanted to build up a picture of what was happening for the doctor just in case. As it happened the charting helped us get our timing just right.

Good luck with your ttc journey
