Hi there. I’ve been ttc for six months. I fell pregnant last month but this ended in a chemical pregnancy. I’m 37 so very panicked about my age. I’m convinced this happened because of poor egg quality. I also have an under active thyroid which has only been diagnosed and treated in the last three months. Any words of advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you xxxSmile

Welcome @jaxs23. We sound close in age, I turned 34 in March. Sorry to hear about your CP. I keep hearing about SMEP, I wanna try it but we don't have sex that often, I'm not sure we'd manage it lol! Perhaps when my rubbish period shows up tomorrow I'll show hubby what SMEP is and wage a bet that we can't stick to it lol! I do think that's probably what's keeping us from being successful. We do do it at the right times but we're not consistent with it.

Joining the lucky thread if that's ok. Just turned 34, TTC #1, cycle 6. Had a chemical pregnancy in April and it is making me want a little one even more.
CD 11, should be ovulating soon. Following the SMEP.
Congrats to all the BFPs. Love success stories.

Hi all, thought I'd hop on as seems like a thread for me! 34 ttc first child. 8 months of trying and no joy as yet. Af due on Sunday and took an early test 12dpo and got bfn, still holding out hope for Af not to come as been having lots of cramps and pressure and also some unusual brown cm when I wipe as of yesterday so hoping/praying it's implantation! Keep you all posted.

Hello! I’m new here. I’m 29 and I turn 30 in a couple months. My DH and I have been TTC for a year with no luck. 3/4 of that year was spent with him working offshore but he now is home for good. I have no bio children and no known fertility issues. It gets frustrating when I feel like I’m doing everything as far as opks to make sure we have sex before during and after ovulation. I got a strong positive ovulation test on May 8th so according to my app today is 6dpo. I’m really praying and hoping this is our month

Still have a chance! I am CD21 and finally ovulating!! 🤣 It's my second day in a row though of LH peak, did you ever experienced that ladies?? First time I have a 2 days peak, this cycle is driving me bananas!

Fingers crossed I get the good energy and luck coming from here 🤞🏻

@MrsTtobe I have seen a few posts on them being inaccurate. Very annoying! Thank you. 🤞🏼 for you!

OP posts:
MrsTtobe · 10/05/2020 10:04

@babyG123 I don't think they are accurate as mine just kept saying 1-2 weeks but when I went for my 8 week scan everything was fine and baby measuring 8 weeks but test stayed at 1-2 up until 5/6 weeks. I stopped testing then so not sure after that but don't worry. X

@MrsTtobe I have no idea how it would work but sorry for your loss.

I'm actually a bit confused as I ovulated 16 days ago and it says 1-2 weeks. I know it's not exactly accurate and hoping it's more towards the 2 weeks. I'll have to do another next week 🤞🏼

@babyG123 Could be a Christmas or new year baby then if it comes a week or so early. How exciting for you. Im currently on CD 33 if I count my CD 1 from my first day of miscarriage. I've got sore boobs and other mild symptoms of either pregnancy or AF on the way. Im thinking it's too soon to be pregnant though with it only being 4 weeks after my miscarriage? Ive had no bleeding or spotting between miscarriage and now.

Well I did a clear blue digital just now and it was 1-2 weeks which is 3-4 week so I think the nhs website does count

Nicola1201 · 10/05/2020 05:29

@BabyG123 congrats!! i am similar due date...i think! NHS calc says 16 Jan, but have GP appointment tomorrow. I had tested early and was concerned but ydayi got my clear Preg on Digital, so feel bit calmer. But still know its so early days so trying to not get too excited yet.

BabyG123 · 09/05/2020 22:53

@MrsTtobe thank you. Well with the due date calculator on the nhs site it said January 14th as I have long cycles. But I called to have a booking in appointment and said said 5th January as cycle length doesn't matter it is just the first day of your last period.

MrsTtobe · 09/05/2020 22:36

Yayy! Congrats @babyG123 so many babies on here when will your due date be? 🥰

lilypad88 · 09/05/2020 20:14

@sausageface yes! Go on girl 💪🏻 healthy body, healthy mind! And that will defo help with fertility :)

yea, I know what you mean, I'm following so many baby stuff on instagram (I know I shouldn't... 🙈), this is how ready I am!

sausageface · 09/05/2020 17:17

Thanks @lilypad88. Picked myself back up again, just needed a good cry. I'm back signed up with my old slimming club in-fact so really trying to throw myself into that. Will try and get back to my 10,000 steps a day too. This has fallen off the radar since I've been furloughed so it gives me an aim at least I suppose! I'm just so ready for it now though you know? That's what's so hard x
