Age: (eek) 39 (fa real-- sounds like a fake age like 29 
) My husband is 41. Old!
TTC #2 My LO is 2 and 3 months
Trying for about a year, but stepped up our game in the last couple of months. I'm not sure what next steps will be if it doesn't happen without intervention...

We are getting back into the NTNP mode this month/next month!!
My facts:
Age: 34 in January
I have one LO, he's almost 14 months old
We are just starting!
When we were TTC #1 it took us about 8 months! I'd be OK with that this time around, but would like to get pregnant in 2014.

@mrsjyw: ha, abstinence - that's basically been our birth control since I got AF back 4 months ago.

@LindsayInNY: I had my 1st about three weeks before I turned 34 and will be having my second at 35. Don't be sad!

@LindsayInNY: I started trying at 31 and got preggo at 32! You will get there!!

@littlek: That makes me feel a little better I've been on such a "woe is me" pity train lately about so much. I see everyone TTC for #2 and I just want #1! And then yesterday, my new coworker hinted that she might be TTC and that got me mad and jealous and everything... =/

@Lindsayinny I'm in the same boat as you
Age: 30
TTC #1 since July 2012
We've been with an RE since October and have completed testing etc. We are prepping for our first IUI in January or February. Also starting to research adoption which we intend to move to at the 2 year mark if we don't pursue IVF.

No kids yet.
NTNP since August. Was going to start TTC in February, but was accepted into 3 (!) leadership programs this spring and will wait until they're finished in May.

Age: 32 turning 33 in Feb ( I will say I love my 30's so far )
TTC #1 after a mc in Sept
Always planned on having my first before 32, lol, oh plans. It is encouraging to see other mama's who had #1 in their 30's!

@littlek: No, I know, but sometimes it feels "old." I think it's just because I "expected" to be pregnant by now and I'm not. If anything, it's just changed our approach for LO #2. I originally was fine with spacing out by 4-5 years. I know LO#2 could take one try or just as long but I don't know if I want to gamble with that. So I think we'll likely wait a year past #1 before trying for #2. DH is older too and doesn't want to be 40 and just having a kid, which I get.

@LindsayInNY: We originally were going to do back to back, but after I had B at 34 weeks, my doctor suggested I wait till B was 18 months before trying, so my body could heal. So, here we are...

@LindsayInNY: ((HUGS))
30 is not old at all, but I get what you are saying. We had "planned" (ha!) to have our kids when I was 30, 32, and maybe 34. I really wanted to be done by 35. DD wasn't born until I was almost 32, so we are a bit off. But, in DC (and I imagine you'll get the same in NY), I felt SO young to be a FTM. At my MW practice they always commented on how young I was... We had also planned to have our kids 2 years apart, but that plan got moved up abit due to age and fertility factors - now I'll take #2 whenever she/he decides to come (which will hopefully be sooner than later).

NOT TRYING. Yet. Maybe I'll see you in a year or so. (well, hopefully all of you will no longer be on this thread if you're currently TTC, NTNP!)
But, for some encouragement to those who are waiting and frustrated, even though I never anticipated being an "older" mom (people, I'm from the South, and I'm an ancient mom at 31 here 
), I actually love, love, love that I'm older and think I am a better mom than I would have been in my younger years (not true for everyone). I'm sure it doesn't make waiting for your baby easier, but, but I think there are some great perks to becoming a mom in your 30s. And for what it's worth, we ended up with #1 & #2 when we got pregnant.

In Feb I will be TTC with No. 2 and in May I'll be 30.

@cmbknyc: "Oh plans" - right?! What's that saying - man plans, God laughs? SO TRUE! I just keep telling myself that 1. maybe it's a good way to curb mine and DH's type A-ness and 2. there must be some reason that now isn't the right time, whether I know why or not.

DS is almost 21 months old. We are NTNP, pretty much have been since DS was born. We had to do IUI so I really wasn't worried about getting pregnant too soon. But I miraculously had a period in November so who knows what could happen in the near future! It would be awesome to not have to go back to the RE.
