I was 37 when I tried to conceive the first time. I had just about convinced myself it would take years... and even asked my DH if he wanted to consider IVF if we weren't successful or just be childless (and travel the world).

So it was a surprise to me to fall pregnant within 1-3 months of TTC. I guess I didn't put any pressure on myself, and we weren't going at it like rabbits. In fact, when I got the BFP, hubby said "when" did that happen??

What was more surprising is that the ultrasounds picked up a big cyst on my ovary which was cut off when my baby was born. Apparantly that rendered one of my ovaries a dud at the time. It was all fixed up once it was cut off.

Then about 8 months after #1 was born... we talked about having a second child. Again, I thought it was just a fluke the first time, so I expected a much longer TTC. But noooo.... within 1-2 months of 'trying' (sex about twice a month!)... then I was pregnant again... at 39yo!!

People say that I must be fertile... but in honesty - I've had sex for 22 years - and sometimes it's been unprotected over those silly years - and I've never been pregnant.

Good luck AnnaBelle.... hope you get a BFP soon.
