So this is my second cycle trying, I had a MMC in feb I fell pregnant straight away with that one but wasn’t meant to be! I’m convinced it was divine intervention as the baby would have been due the same week my youngest would have started school and I think it would all have been a bit much for him! So although it was heartbreaking I’ve tried to see positives of it to be honest!
I have 2 little boys 7 & 3! So hoping to add one more then that’s it for me I’ll be done 🤣

Ah wow what ages are you DCs?

I know technically over 35 is harder but I also know lots of people who have had their first or other children over this age. My aunt for example had her 3rd at 41.

They are 21, 18, 13 and 9 so all growing up way too quickly. Yes i know many who get pregant later on but theres so much info online about old mums etc haha! Been on the pill constant for so long as well so might take me months to ovulate as i was told that even if you get positive on ovulation test it still doesnt confirm if you have🤣 so confusing!!

ah thats a good way of just waiting and knowing then i supposed. Im 38 so age isnt my good point ha. I have 4 already and never had issues in my 20’s but I know it can be harder over 35 i believe. This is my first montg tracking using ovulation tests i know i wont be that fortunate🤣

i am full of a cold though today and feeling like rubbish so bet my body is too weak to even have a successful conception. X

I actually don't test! Only the first month when I had really bad nausea for about a week before AF which I've signed realised is a standard symptom for me...so cruel haha. Since then I've just promised not to unless I miss my AF.

This will be cycle 8, TTC number 2. We were incredibly fortunate that our first was conceived on cycle 1. I've just turned 35 so I did go for some baseline blood tests and a scan just to put my mind at ease.

How about you? X

@Fairy0708 aww its horrible isnt it and then its like we are looking for signs ha! I got my peak on opk on 15th which was very high and dark. so presumed i ovulated the following day… i hope anyway! When are you going to start taking pregnancy tests? How long have you been trying? Good luck

I am! But not sure what dpo I am as I've stopped using opks. I assume around 6-8dpo.

It's just horrid isn't it 😭
