Hey everyone moving over from the ttc sept 2024 thread. Very light start to period today. Expect to start tomorrow with negative pregancy tests. Thought id dip my toes in and start a wee thread.

Little bit about me. Im 35 years (soon to be 36 in oct...a birthday bfp would be lovely) been ttc since jan this year. This will now be cycle 10 for me. I have a 8 year old daughter with my ex and had to have ivf/icsi to have her due to his low sperm count. My new partner and i have been together now 2 and a half year and would love to extend our family.

So far i have had day 21 bloods which confirmed that i am ovulating and waiting to hear back regarding his SA results.

Please feel welcome in joining this thread and sending postive pregnancy vibes to all 😍

Hello All,

34 years old and we have a 3 year old. Had a late miscarriage last month at 19 weeks which broke us. We tried for 18 months before falling pregnant, so feeling very worried about how long it might be before falling pregnant again this time.

i hope everyone gets their positives this month ❤️ xx

Hello, I hope you don't mind me joining. I shall be starting my journey of ttc in October. I'm 36, 2 weeks away from 37 and have an 8 year old. Difficult first pregnancy and premature birth, has taken this long to feel ready to try again. Very nervous that I may be too old but we shall see. Good luck to everyone on their journeys and sending lots of positive baby dust your way.

Hi 👋 can I join?

I’m 38 and ttc my 2nd, 11th cycle and starting to think it’s too late. My 1st is now 8, and from my previous marriage (hence the age gap). I’m struggling to confirm if I’m actually ovulating at the moment (I’m not quite getting dark enough lines on ovulation tests) but am having Hertility tests which I hope will shed some light and my DP is having an online sperm test this month.

@Nicola1988 Fingers crossed for a birthday BFP for you!

My circumstances are not that dissimilar to yours, can u ask how you arranged the day 21 ovulation test? Was this nhs or private? I’m having blood tests done via the online Hertility, but they have said to take the blood on CD3, so I am not sure how much reassurance that this will give me about ovulation.

@Row23 and @ThatSnugSwan sorry to hear about your losses, baby dust to you both.

@Row23 I understand the nerves of a miscarry again Im feeling the same, lets hope we both get our wishes for October 😊

Hi 👋
I’m early 30’s with a toddler. Had a miscarriage earlier this year and we are planning on starting our TTC #2 journey in October. I’ve been on contraception since the miscarriage but am just coming off it, so expecting a period in the next week or so. Then it’ll be October before we can really try.
We conceived first go both times previously, but I know quite a few people who have had secondary infertility so I think I’m going into it expecting it to take a little while. Plus a little nervous of miscarrying again.
But we can hope! 🤞

Nice to see this thread Ive been counting the days for October to come. Im a mom of an 8 year old and 5 year old and in August I had a miscarriage, it broke my heart. I was advised by my GP to wait for one period and try to conceive so if my calculations are right Im due my period next week then we can start trying again around ovulation week. Im 34 next week
