Pregnancy chances ....

[Metropuddle]

Hello. I'm new here. I could do with some thoughts. I'm a divorced mum to two (8&6), been in a new relationship and things going good (he has no children). We weren't trying and weren't being careful either. I'm no spring chicken anymore, but this cycle we have had a lot of intimate time from cd11 to cd 16 (cd17 today). I think I'm 2dpo today.
It's waaaay to soon to start testing but id love to hear stories or advice. Any older mums in the same boat before ?
Thanks for reading X

I'm 34, have a 7 and 9 year old. DTD 1 and 3 days after my period finished and got pregnant. Currently laying in bed feeling like shyte and hoping its not twins

Oh wow! How far are you ?

[thecatsarecrazy]

How are you feeling ? Scary thought after the gap since your youngest? That's what I'm thinking of, my youngest is 6, she'd love it.... Is there twins in your family ?

I'm 38, with a 20, 18 and 11 year old and currently 14 weeks pregnant in my new wonderful marriage! I think most my friends think I'm mental! X

Ahhhh !!!! That's lovely Desmondo!

Yes the gap is going to be strange. Haven't told anyone yet I'm worried they will think we are silly doing it again. No twins but I've read that the chance increases around the age of 35. I spent all day in bed yesterday felt dreadful and couldn't keep anything down

Ah who cares what anyone says ! Life is short do what makes you happy !!! Xx
