Hi everyone 🩷

I came off my contraception in April.. cycles regulated pretty quickly (26 days) periods regular also. Tried not to let TTC take over my life, but it has!! 😂 lots of googling, symptom spotting and negative tests. I started taking Pregnacare Conception Max this cycle, currently 3 days late and negative tests! Seems a lot of women experienced the same! Wish I’d never taken them now. Fingers crossed period arrives soon.

Thought I would start a thread for anyone wanting to share their journey, advice, stories or even tips…

Much Love 🧡

@carsty So sorry to hear you had a miscarriage keeping everything crossed for you xx I just think it’s strange how it’s since I’ve started the Pregnacare I’m now late this month Confused hopefully AF arrives soon I definitely think I’m out this month.

@Apricotmuffino of course hun!! I’m over 35 I’m 38, so panicking it’s not going to happen for me! I have a boy 14 and girl 8 and wanting to expand the family also. Getting those negative tests are awful try again in a few days it’s still early xx This will be my 3rd cycle of trying… xx

I am nearly 35, is it OK if I join?

First month trying and just tested at 12dpo and a big fat negative. Im kind of not surprised as I had a particularly stressful last couple of weeks but feel a bit disappointed all the same.

Is this your first op? How long have you been trying for?

I have a crazy 2 year old, and hoping to expand the family!

Hi @HollyBerry85 i'm the same age as you but been ttc a few years now. I had a misscarriage last year. Ive also been taking pregnacare but not regulalry..Sometimes my period is late and i wonder if its cause of it or is it cause now im technically over 35...my cycle is usually 26-28 days, but my last two cycles were over 30 days, which is unusual for me. I would have the odd late cycle but not in a row or so close to each other and if anything im usually a bit early than late.
