Hey everyone..jumping over from Sept thread! Have been a little quiet as alot going on at home and just took a step back from the forums.
I'm 38, one child, nearly 2. On 11th month of ttc our second, currently ovulating. Had a miscarriage and chemical at the beginning of the year. Under the fertility clinic with NHS now and had a HyCoSy last week x baby dust to all x

Hello 👋 I’m ttc #3, thought I was done with 2 but apparently not. had one mc last month, so this is cycle 7 for me. Currently 3dpo so will be testing 1st Oct. Although the poas urge is strong already 😂

Hi everyone, just hopping over from the September thread as I've just had some spotting and everything is pointing towards AF being here. We've been ttc #2 for over a year, with 1 chemical/miscarriage in that time. Had an appointment with the infertility clinic last month and due to get bloods taken this period, and waiting on a hycosy. I'm also 41 so time is against me. We've also tentatively decided to call time on our attempts by the end of this year if no luck. We are lucky to have a brilliant 7yo son.

Hi everyone 👋🏼joining from the September thread but af is due 30th sept, I have 2 adult children but a new partner who doesn’t have any so trying for 1 together, my age is against me being 41 but still have some hope, been trying for a year now and will be having our first fertility appointments in October, this thread keeps me sane 😊hopefully to see us all getting those bfp’s this month

Hello everyone, tentatively dropping in just to say hi. AF hasn’t started yet but tested negative two days ago and feel cramps that tell me it’s going to be coming soon. This will make cycle #4 for me, TTC my first after a loss at 12 weeks earlier in the year. This cycle is also going to be taking my into my 36 birthday (can’t believe it’s almost been a year since I started this journey!) Probably won’t be posting much as I think being online makes me get a lot more obsessed with the process - last time I took a social media detox I conceived so crossing fingers, but just wanted to wish you all good luck for this month!

Gosh just realised how that reads. My fertile time is running out, but I sincerely hope I have many more years left in me yet! Grin

Oh hello old friends. We’re working on no.2, no.1 was an accident in my late 30’s, so this trying malarkey is an unwanted new experience! We’re going to give it a really good go until Christmas, but if it’s not happened by then we’re going to enjoy the amazing little one we already have (age related, my time is running out!).

Hello 👋🏻 love the title Iris!

shall we do mini intros - it’s nice to see familiar faces (although obv hope no one is here very long!)

I’m TTC no1, just at the end of my 18th cycle TTC, have had two chemicals, and on first month of letrozole with fertility clinic. Desperate to be pregnant by Christmas 🎄

AF is due on Sunday, however my progesterone isn’t good enough this month and I had a weird evap/positive followed by negative so I’m not hopeful for this cycle

Tentatively joining following a MMC earlier this month

🙏 hormones will be back at normal levels to start TTC again in October
