I've often wondered how many of us there are. </p> <p>My facts:<br /> Age: Turned 32 in September, will be 33 for birth of IVF baby if it works!<br /> No LO's have had 2 miscarriages since Jan 2013<br /> We have been actively TTC for 1 year and 4 months, since our Aug 2012 wedding. We have one embryo on ice waiting for transfer on/around 1/8/14! Seriously 2014 cannot come soon enough! It's torture! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-or-ntnp-and-in-their-30s-roll-call/page/3#post-1297641 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 11:37:16 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1297641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lunarsongbird: welcome!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-or-ntnp-and-in-their-30s-roll-call/page/3#post-1297544 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 11:17:58 +0000 bushelandapeck 1297544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-or-ntnp-and-in-their-30s-roll-call/page/3#post-1297536 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 11:14:27 +0000 lunarsongbird 1297536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure where I belong.

Hard to say how long we tried as we NTNP for a year but I wasn't ovulating or having periods so knew I couldn't get preg. When we got serious about trying I had cycle monitoring at a fertility clinic and it worked (by then I was ovulating thanks to acupuncture).<br /> TTC#2: Still no period :( So I'm back at acupuncture but honestly have less patience this time round and will be more likely to try the fertility drugs. Being in my 30s + having PCOS + wanting a large family makes me think I need to step on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-or-ntnp-and-in-their-30s-roll-call/page/2#post-1293410 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 07:39:00 +0000 MrsScottish 1293410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@however briefly: That is amazing of your sister! lots of sticky baby dust! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-or-ntnp-and-in-their-30s-roll-call/page/2#post-1293409 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 07:36:40 +0000 however briefly 1293409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Age: 32<br /> TTC for #1 for... six years? Wow, that sounds crazy. It's been off and on as I've had to battle heart problems and anemia and a cycle that left me bleeding eleven months out of the year on top of having insurance that fought me every step of the way and really crappy doctors. I got an IUD and finally felt like a normal person again. No constant bleeding, I actually had energy for once, and no more randomly passing out in public places and having to be taken to the hospital (twice!). It was amazing! And then I realized that to start TTC again, I would not only have to risk going back to that state while the doctors figured it all out (hopefully) but I would have to find a new heart medication as well since it wasn't healthy to take it while pregnant and yeah. We kinda just wrote it off and decided to start saving up for adoption instead. That's when my sister flat out told me she was going to get pregnant for me and that was that. We are 7DPO right now in our second cycle TTC through IUI and very optimistic :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-or-ntnp-and-in-their-30s-roll-call/page/2#post-1293395 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 07:08:12 +0000 looch 1293395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: you saved me from having to find that article! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-or-ntnp-and-in-their-30s-roll-call/page/2#post-1292364 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:12:02 +0000 PawPrints 1292364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me!

Maybe it will help you, too . . . and a few others on this thread:</p> <p><a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2013/07/how-long-can-you-wait-to-have-a-baby/309374/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2013/07/how-long-can-you-wait-to-have-a-baby/309374/</a></p> <p>I hate that women are bombarded with *doomsday* type messages about their fertility from, well, basically puberty on!

I'm hoping for a Christmas BFP! If not, it seems like I should pick up the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor. </p> <p>Its not that I feel like I'm old (at least not every day). I just don't like waiting to receive what I want when I feel like I'm trying so hard. I'd feel this same frustration if I was 24 and on the seventh cycle of TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-or-ntnp-and-in-their-30s-roll-call/page/2#post-1292204 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 16:55:34 +0000 hellobeeboston 1292204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: happy birthday one day early! </p>
