TTC in 30s

@ToeBeans24 sorry to hear you had a chemical, it’s good that you’re feeling in a better headspace though. Hopefully you get your sticky BFP soon.

I had a BFP last month (1st month ttc) and was elated. Only to suffer a chemical at 4w6d. It’s been very difficult. But I’m in a better headspace than I was last week and excited and hopeful to try again this cycle.

currently only CD7 though so a while to go!

This exactly how I feel! I'm going on month 11 of trying so I've not been dry for the entire time but the TWW every month I don't over exercise, i don't eat any foods that can be bad for pregnancy and I obviously dont drink, so for nearly 50% of the last year I've felt like my body isn't my own and so far it's been for nothing. Currently 2dpo so the 2 week helplessness has begun!

I just got my peak today… hopefully ovulating tomorrow

Hi I’m 32 and I’m Tcc1

came off the pill and am having really really light periods with spotting a few days before.

last month in January my LH was only high for a matter of 3 or so hours - I only got one positive ovulation test

this month i had 24 hours with one large spike before my peak and subsequent drop.

im hoping that’s a sign my cycle is starting to return to normal!

baby dust to you all ladies!

I’m 32, 33 in a few weeks.

TTC #1 - DH has a son to a previous relationship.
Had 1 BFP which unfortunately ended in a miscarriage on Christmas Day. Currently 8DPO in first cycle since mc.

So much illness going around atm isn’t there. I hope I’m at the end of it now and better for next cycle.
I’ve been taking pregnacare for the last month or so and have just started taking COQ10. I’ve got a Wild Nutrition fertility support and omega3 arriving tomorrow. I think I should take magnesium too - I’ve got a spray, I wonder if that’s the same thing?
I always want to try meditation but I’m the same as you, I get distracted and end up giving up and scrolling on my phone. Just being thrown endless fertility ads on instagram gaaaah. maybe I’ll try this evening…

Hey everyone - joining here as I’m 33 (34 next month) and about to head into cycle 2 TTC #1. I’m currently 10dpo, waiting for AF to arrive, due on Weds. I’ve taken a million tests this month, all early detection and all very negative. Work has been the most stressful it’s ever been, I’ve had tonsillitis and now a cold b2b, so trying to get healthy ahead of next cycle. Ordered lots of supplements and doing Pilates to try to relax. It’s a lonely slog isn’t it, all of my friends are pregnant or have kids already… really hoping it happens for us soon 🤞🏼 what’s everyone doing to maximize their chances? Do you drink alcohol or has everyone given up? Xxx

@Mummysparrow thank you, I was 10 weeks but had stopped growing at 8 weeks.
Its difficult isn’t it when you get it in your head that it will happen at a certain point & then it doesn’t.

I’m the most impatient person ever, and similarly I feel I need to manage my stress around TTC better! I want to step away from OPK testing & worrying but easier said than done!

Hi @Mummysparrow im testing twice a day using easy at home. I had been testing first thing in the morning, as I’ve since read you’re not meant to do! And then in the evening. Hoping I have ovulated & just missed it but who knows.

Fingers crossed this cycle is the one for you. Before my MC I had only been off the pill for about 3 months & only had 1 period in that time and didn’t do any tracking. I wish it felt as simple this time around!

Hi everyone, hope you don’t mind me joining!
I’m 32 and TTC my first. I had a MMC in November, and had 1 period since then. I’m tracking ovulation but doesn’t seem to be peaking.
Trying to DTD every 2 to 3 days regardless, but the not knowing what is happening to my body is driving me a bit mad!

@Mummysparrow I'm in a similar boat - light bleeding - but I know I'm coming on my period so stopped testing. Quite intense cramp for 2 days. I read online that spotting before period can be a sign of low progestorone (which I have all the other symptoms/causes for as well..) - might be worth keeping an eye on that.

@EllieFxOx welcome! I'm mid 30s, TTC for first time, just finished another failed cycle (7). The TWW bends space time, I know the dragging feeling..! No solutions here but keeping v v busy at work helps a little bit. I also know the lonely feeling, which is why I loiter on here 🤪 you're not alone x Good luck x

Hi! I'm 32 and this is our first time trying to conceive. On my first cycle day 17, just entered into the two week wait. Not wanting to share too much with family and friends and it just feels a very lonley time. How do you pass the time before finding out!? Not expecting it to happen straight away but there's always hope

Good for you! 🥂 I've heard some people have a bleed when AF is due that stops and they're pregnant, I'd prob do a cheap test if I were you just to see, then again I do too many 🙈

@Mummysparrow I'm 8dpo and stupidly tested this evening 🤪 and it's the purest negative possible! The sensitive easy@home test as well. Really feel like breaking my dry spell and having a stiff drink....!? But feel bad? It's like your body is owned before you're even pregnant. Keep trying to make all these good choices but then get brutal AF every month. Feeling v hopeless about it all.
