Hello- I am new to this message board, and have been reading letters from other women on this website that are experiencing similar problems...I am 26 and my husband is 29..we have been sexually active for 9 of the 10 years we have been together and during that time we have only been on the b/c pill twice (one year each time). The rest of the time we have been using the "pull out" method and up until this past year, we haven't really been worried if we conceived or not. We agreed if it pregnancy happened, we would be happy, and if it didn't, we weren't going to be worried. After my annual this year in March, we officially decided to "try". Although, I feel as if we might qualify for fertility testing with my gyno since we have basically been "trying" for years...I am getting very concerned, considering I am not getting any younger and feel like time is running out for my husband and I to become "young" parents like we have agreed upon early on in our relationship. Any feedback or similar situations you may have had, would be sincerely appreciated...

Connie- Thank you for all of the website attachments, I can't wait to check them out! I guess I am just becoming impatient after 5 months of ttc, and no luck.lol I also read an article that said after 26, you fertility chances start to decrease so that freaked me out a little! Good luck with your ttc, keep me posted on how things are going!

Thanks! Bridgette
