Just a quick note to let you know you are at the perfect age! I had my daughter at 19 and it was a struggle. I had my son at 34 and I have so much more patience and maturity. Physically, I was more tired during the pregnancy, but that was it! Ttc # 3 now. Good luck to you!

Hi Ladies,
I'm 31 and ttc for 8 months now. I'm hoping this is my blessed month. I'm new to this site but learning a lot daily. Would be nice to have a buddy to chat with too.

Baby dust to you all ,

Hi, I'm another newbie

I'm 35, been married for 4 and a half years and we've been ttc since about april last year.

I was told in 2004 that children weren't possible due to chemotherapy I had for leukaemia. However, in 2007 I had the worst surprise of my life when I found out I could, I was but I had lost it all in the space of 10 seconds at the emergency department at the hospital. Awful!!

Because of that we started using protection as I couldn't bear going through something like that again so soon plus I had only been with my future husband for a year at that point. I haven't bothered taking the pill since chemo as I have taken enough pills to last me a lifetime and didn't want anything else interfering with any potential plans for the future. We stopped 'practicing' (lol) about last april/may and due to not wanting to get hopes up too much have been 'not trying, not preventing' until a couple of months ago.

So, today my period is due and no sign of it! I am usually have a 29 day cycle on the dot but over the last couple of months something strange has been happening. December I was two days early with 27 days, January I was two days late (for the first time ever! at 31 days. This month I have had so many strange symptoms that I have never had before I just feel so confident that I am pregnant it's unnerving! lol

Tested this morning, BFN :( However, I am going to test again on day 31 (when it turned up last month) and then every couple of days until I'm a week over. If I don't get a BFP by then I'm going to the doctors to demand a blood test. I never take no for an answer when it comes to doctors and hospitals.

Good luck to all you other 30 somethings and I hope we all get a BFP soon!!! :)

Hi! Glad to hear from you! I am sorry for everything you had to go through, but miracles happen and you WILL be a mom! Also, positive thoughts bring positive outcomes. Just don't give up :)
Good luck with testing!

Thought I would check in with how it's going my end.

As of today, I'm potentially 9 dates late. I say potentiall as when I was 4 days late, last thing at night I started to 'spot'. That lasted about 2 days and now nothing.

My 'normal' cycle consists of stomach cramps the day before, light bleeding then full on for 4 days then it peters out on the last day. So a 5-6 day period. This month is definately not a 'normal' period. For one thing, my cramps and other symptoms have been going on for the last 2 weeks. Now the mysterious phantom 'period' is over they are still very much here!!

Went to the doc on Friday (who was also pregnant, maybe it's a sign lol) and she said to wait another week and test again as it may be too early. At least she didn't say there was no chance of me being pregnant and to still hold out for some hope.

Typically I've been scouring the internet for women who ended up being pregnant after something like this and not finding out until they were days past their period due date. The longest I found was someone not getting a positive until they were 12 days overdue!!

It's now Sunday and I don't know if I can hold out til Friday when the doctor suggested. For one thing if I'm not I want to improve my chances this cycle but both me and DH are a bit worried that if we do BD and I am then we might make something go wrong!! We had a miscarriage about 5 years ago but we didn't even know we were pregnant, let alone that we could conceive. We've decided to test on Tuesday then Friday as a last ditch effort.

Sorry for rambling, just need to get this out of my head as it's driving me bonkers! lol.

Anyone else had this happen to them?

I am 34 years old. I found someone whom I want to share my life with and have a child with. im not married. It was something discussed for awhile. We even took a break for a bit. Now well I might be prego (2 faint positives) and I think its an ok time in my lofe and his. He is 27 years old.

@doris77, how did it go and what did the doctor say??

@curvesasb, how exciting about the man! :) I hope all goes well! So are you prego for sure?
