How far along are you?

Hi there!  I've been on this forum for 5 years, but have been a way for a bit, and I see a whole lot of new members.  Fantastic and welcome!!  Thought it might be fun to get to know each other a bit, so how about introducing yourself and telling your story.  This forum is open to all women who may be pregnant, trying to get pregnant or just looking for pregnancy information.  So don't worry if your here and not currently pregnant...I'm not..ha.  I'll go first.

My name is Amanda and I started trying to get pregnant when I was 37.  I had no problem conceiving, but did have a problem carrying full term. When I was 40, my dreams came true and I got pregnant with a sticky bean that I delivered just before I turned 41.  He just turned 3 last week, and is a healthy happy normal child.  My husband and I wanted a second, but again, I conceive easily, just can't seem to carry.  So we started looking into alternative options.  I have a fair amount of information on embryo donation if anyone is interested.  We opted to let it go and my son will be an only child (at least for now), but you never know what the future holds.  

Your never too old!  I love chatting with the over 35'ers, so please, tell us about you!  If you are pregnant, would also love to know where you are at, do you know what you are having, and anything else you want to share.

Nice to meet you all!  It's great to be back on this forum.

Amanda

Hi, I'm Tanya and I live in the middle Georgia area. I just downloaded this pregnancy App. I'm 38, and have 4kids. 2boys (20&13) and 2girls (8&17). I had a tubal reversal in April 2012. My husband has no children of his own and we'd like to have at least one together. I had an ectopic in May 2012, that was caught very early and seems to be no damage to my tube. We started ttcing again in August and just got a positive pregnancy test Saturday night! I think I'll be 5wks Friday. I'm waiting for my numbers to get over 1500 to have an ultrasound to see if baby is in the uterus. We are scared and excited. Praying baby is snug where it should be!
