[quote=Anonymous]I didn't have time to read all 10 pages, but I was in your shoes too OP. I felt a bit of dread as my 35th birthday approached and I wasn't pregnant yet. 
I had gone off the birth control pill around 33 but didn't realize that it had messed up my natural cycles and that it would take a while to recover from prolonged use. I had no periods for 6 months, followed by super-irregular cycles for another 6 months. Got the full fertility workup which found nothing wrong with either of us. Found myself pregnant soon after (still age 34) but miscarried. I rememberr feeling worried right around my 35th birthday, because we keep hearing that 35 is the start of the decline in fertility. But it isn't a steep cliff, it's a gentle decline, though obviously there are lots of factors in each female body that can change things.

In my case, having the miscarriage miraculously reset my cycles, and I conceived easily the month after turning 35 and again at age 38 (seemingly without trying the second time). Good luck![/quote]
