30+ & TTC Baby #1

[Jenniferlynn11]

Hey everyone, new here from Flo and I have been feeling very discouraged feeling significantly older than everyone else TTC for the first time. I don't have many friends to talk to as they already have two or three children each. I've been with my husband for over a decade and only recently this past summer he's ready to (finally) try, although I've wanted to for years.
This has brought about many fears which are probably irrational but I'm having trouble maintaining sanity alone.
Hoping to find a group of women for some supoort on this crazy journey.

Baby dust to all ✨

Welcome to the crazy ttc club. It's a roller coaster of emotions that really does test your sanity and patience. I hope your ride is alot easier than mine has been.
I'm 36 and definitely relate to finding it difficult to find friends who are on a similar path. I am literally the only one out of .. well everyone I know really that dosent have kids ( not from lack of trying on our part)
These forums have been a life saver for me and provided me with the support and advice that ive needed

Same situation here. 35 and TTC since August after being with DH for almost a decade.

We think we had a CP first month which seems to have messed up my normally super regular cycle (no testing as we thought of it as a 'trial' month 🤦‍♀️but had a late pink clotty but light period followed by a no ovulation short cycle which had a really heavy period) which I have found rather emotionally difficult.

I had the same CP symptoms this month (I wasn't convinced I ovulated so didn't test either 🤦‍♀️) so am off to see a gynaecologist to double check everything is ok. The GP was super reassuring it was all normal and nothing to worry about but I have PMI so it'll be good to get my money's worth! 😂

Wishing you all baby dust.
