[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you aren't pregnant after 6 months, go see a doctor for help/testing. I think after age 35, that's the standard. There's a lot of steps before full IVF, and doctors always want to help someone at 35 versus 40. Eat well (cut the alcohol and caffeine), exercise, all that good stuff because it'll help your mood now, and if you end up pregnant OR needing help, you will get the same advice.

Lots of people have their first after 35. It's ok, you made valid choices, the same as many other women. And the ones who had kids at 31? Those kids are just a few years younger, you can still have playdates and they'll be in the same elementary school. [/quote]

+1 to all of this. You have A LOT of options for help having a baby, if you need it, in your 30s. Even your late 30s. Try for a few more months, get the ovulation pee sticks, start REALLY tracking your cycles. And if it doesn’t happen by 6 months trying, you can start with your OBGYN and then go from there. You have more time and options than someone who’s already 40+. Good luck![/quote]
