30 + and TTC Your 1st Child

View Full Post

Hi girls!
I've been on this site for a few months now and decided I needed to make friends! I got married about 9 months ago and will be 30 this year. We will be ttc our first child this coming Fall (if it won't take us by surprise and I conceive earlier), and heard that it can take up to one year for a healthy couple... My mom keeps saying that it is late for the first baby but the rest of the world says it's about the right time (age 30).
Any suggestions, advice, and just discussion with you girls who conceived at age 30+ or is ttc at this age right now will be appreciated! :)

P.S. When we got married last April, we were planning on trying to get me prego in the end of last year. I was so excited. Then, when the time came to start trying, my husband thought it would be better to wait till we move (we are planning on moving to another state next year to get a house and start the family). I agreed because we'd be settled and all, but at the same time having a baby is something that shouldn't be postponed when I am already turning 30 this year. Like my mom said, everything can wait BUT having kids. There will always be some obstacles, small and big, or excuses to wait, but we, women, simply can't wait. We can't stop our biological clocks! lol So, I really want to start trying now, but at the same time I want to wait till we move to a better climate and place. What would you do? Wait another year or not?

I'm single, and 36! Even though I don't get to BD, it sure is an exciting process...wondering, testing, testing, and more testing! Lol I'm a POAS addict. :)

hi, I am 36 and my DH is 45. We live in Tampa Bay, Florida and we just started TTC our 1st this month. I hope it doesn't take 1 yr!!! DH has a 22 year old daughter and this will be my 1st child. I have been exercising, eating right, taking Omega 3, just bought a digital basal thermometer too to temp each month. we also use Pre-seed because it is a fertility friendly lube. My AF is due by Monday the 25th and I think it will come. I don't expect this too happen so soon, but would be great!!

I hope you all get that BFP soon!!

Thanks! Baby dust to all of you as well!

I keep track of my cycles, and it's crazy how the next cycle date depends on ovulation (early/late). Twice I thought that I might got pregnant, but my AF was late because ovulation was late (17-19 CD). Now, since my ovulation is late most of the time, I don't freak out anymore lol.

Hope you all are being patient with ttc! ;)
My DH and I will start ttc in about 2 months. Will see how long it will take to get prego. I hope not long! I wanna have a baby before I turn 31! ha

Hi all, I turn 30 this month (April 2013). Hubby and I have been trying since OCT 2011. I have very irregular periods though :( but otherwise I'm health with no medical reason for us not conceiving yet. I'm hoping it will happen for us this cycle or next ... which would mean a JAN or FEB baby! hope it happens for us all :)

@zia2mama, it should happen soon! Have you been to your doctor and all? It's crazy how long it might take sometimes, I am scared it will take us longer than I think it will. You are so patient and I'm sure it's harder to conceive with irregular periods?

@emeraldrainbow sorry for only getting back to you now ... was my 30th on Friday, so was away for the weekend! so far not much is happening...good news is I definitely ovulated this month and had some hectic EWCM --- temps are nice and high....so hoping they stay that way. only 8DPO at the moment. feeling a little strange...but not sure if i'm imagining these symptoms. lower back ache, lower belly protruding (I'm definitely bloated!), been feeling "funny in the tummy"...hope i'm not wishing symptoms. Broke down and did a cheapie HPT yesterday (7DPO) and it was a BFN ... but i knew it would be cos it's WAY too early!! haha have to laugh at myself....promised I won't do another one till 15DPO! any luck with you this month? hope you get it on your first go! holding toes and thumbs for you!!!
