As the title suggests ... Looking for some inspirational and uplifting stories about mums in their 30's managing to get preggers rather soon after deciding to ttc Smile

Well it really does seem that for some fertility actually improves with age ! How encouraging is that !!

using a digital ovulation kit, I managed to get pregnant 3 times, taking a month each time, in my 30s.

flamingtoaster · 16/10/2014 20:38

At 37 was told contraception was a waste of time as I had large fibroids and that I should stop the pill. DS arrived 11 months later. DD was conceived first month of trying at 39.

I truly count my blessings - my DF lost 14 babies and now has 3 Smile
I also lost one but am very lucky to have my 3 DC.

TheGashlycrumbTinies · 16/10/2014 20:34

DD1 4 cycles at 35
DD2 first attempt at 38

I do. Too much holiday wine and lot of friskiness - aged 35.

Nyborg · 16/10/2014 20:31

I've been pregnant 3 times in my 30s and it took me no more than 4 months of TTC each time.

elQuintoConyo · 16/10/2014 20:30

I was 35 (three months shy of 36) when we decided to go for it.

Went to Cordoba (Spain), as you do. Went for a lovely dinner, curled up to watch the first episode of The Walking Dead, got totally freaked out and had to be 'comforted'...

DS is about to turn 3yo Grin

Of six women in my family/close friebds with dc/ttc, am the most fortunate by a mile and i count my blessings every day (corny but true).

Fingers crossed for you OP (but not legs, obv!) Thanks

Mumto3dc · 16/10/2014 20:29

Pg with no 4 first month of trying at 39.
I had my other 3 from 31 through to 36 and although I also had 3 miscarriages, none of my pregnancies took longer than 3 or 4 cycles.

Ilovenicesoap · 16/10/2014 20:27

First cycle at 31 fell for dc1 Smile

Ilovenicesoap · 16/10/2014 20:23

Had a huge row with DH, made up Wink
Pregnant Blush

DC2 - decided to TCC and DTD once - pregnant
DC3- thought a 3rd child would be a great idea DTD once - pregnant.
If contraception didn't exist I would have 27 DC and 56 DGC

Weeteeny · 16/10/2014 20:23

That sounds good to me camping I'll take old fertile age any day of the week Smile all of your lovely encouraging stories have made me feel so much better and slightly less alone.. Even though everyone in the playground keeps telling me ' I must be bloody mad to want another one ' well I suppose I must be stark raving bonkers because yes, I DO want another one !
