Fourth Anniversary 100 Love Its 100 Comments Name Dropper
edited October 2013 in Getting Pregnant
Hey everyone, I am new to this side of the boards. My fiance and I are getting married March 1, 2014 and will be TTC at that point. We are waiting for the wedding day so that I can still fit in my dress. I currently have one daughter from my previous marriage who is 9 years old. So yes, my kids are going to be 10 years apart! I can't wait to read about everyone else's experiences and get advice about TTC. Happy Friday!

ETA: I forgot to list some of the issues I've been having and why I am concerned. First, I was 22 when I got pregnant with my daughter, and it wasn't easy for me then. I didn't have to seek medical help yet, but it was almost to that point. I've never been a "regular" person. I've been on birth control for the better part of 10 years since I had my daughter. I tried the IUD for a year and hated it. Well, this past December I had a myoectomy to remove two softball sized fibroids from my uterus. So now I have scarring on my uterus that will likely make conceiving more difficult. That, plus I'm 32 and it's always more difficult to conceive the older you get. So... hopefully all my prayers will be answered in March and I get pregnant quickly!

  • Welcome! I hope all goes well when you do start TTC and the scarring doesn't impact your ability.

    I don't think it's a very big deal your children will be that far apart in age. I'm 14 and 16 years older than my younger brothers and 18 years older than my little sister (half-siblings technically from my parents remarrying). That's just how it goes with remarriage!

    Ditto that your kids being 10 years apart is no big deal; I'm 10 years younger than my half sister and we are very close. I also don't think I'd consider 32 "old" lol. Good luck with everything!

  • I definitely don't think I am, nor do I feel, old... I just know that the female body isn't like the male's body and can get pregnant forever. And since I had such trouble when I was 22, I figure since I'm 10 years older now, it's certainly not going to be EASIER lol.

    Thanks for the warm welcome!

    It's actually going very smoothly. I am just trying to enjoy it and soak it all in. I've been through a lot so I know how precious these wonderful days are. God has truly been so good to me and sent me a precious man who puts up with me, lol. But there's only a few minor things left to take care of! I am simply looking forward to experiencing it all!

    I am going with a gray colored (I think David's bridal calls it Mercury) and coral. March weather here can go either Spring or Winter... so hopefully it'll be SPRING, lol.
