I am now 37 and have one beautiful 10yrs old boy, my partner has 2 boys 9 & 13yrs.

I bought the Hertility kit online, not yet opened it… I was going to give this cycle my last attempt before investigating 🙃

We got pregnant a year ago but due to personal circumstances we both decided to not go ahead, this I carry so much guilt over 🪃

Now we are both ready and settled in our careers and home but now it has taken nearly 6/7cycles.

today I got my 1st + ovulation test, so beginning our January TWW.

what is everyone else’s story 🌟

Im in the same boat. I’m 39 and trying to conceive after a termination 18 months ago.

Carrying a lot of feelings about it but working through them now we’re actively ttc.

Just remaining hopeful - tried for a couple of months but I think my Flo app has been giving me incorrect dates so this month I’m testing religiously as soon as my AF is over 🤞

Fingers crossed for us all ✨🫶🏼
are you periods regular? I use the Flo app too and use the ovulation strips to add onto the app to keep track x

@AegeanPebble

Happy birthday for Tuesday! 😊🎈

Same, I still carry the guilt and feel sometimes that, that may have been my final chance, with being 38 this year.

But I am staying hopeful 🫶🏼

How many DPO are you now x

I am also trying a year after a termination. Still not in terms with what I did but we are ready now. I am 39 on Tuesday. Have tried for 2 cycles.
