As the title suggests ... Looking for some inspirational and uplifting stories about mums in their 30's managing to get preggers rather soon after deciding to ttc Smile

KateWright699 it's such a lot of pressure isn't it? Try not to pile an extra load on yourself to boot!

DC1 took six months, but DC2 we weren't even trying (DC1 was only 9 months!) and I didn't even realise I was pregnant until 6/7 weeks. He was clearly keen to join our family!

Katewright699 · 16/10/2014 20:07

Yeah it is trousers... I don't even know why I'm putting so much pressure on myself tbh... I made the mistake of googling ttc in your 30's and all that pops up is that basically your fertility falls off a cliff at 35 !!!

I was 37 and drunk and wasn't even trying. Not sure if that is going to make you feel better or not but I know a fair few women that got pregnant quickly in old 'fertile' age

Citybaby · 16/10/2014 20:15

Fell pregnant after 4 months off the mini pill at 32 with DD1, fell pregnant with DD2 2 months after having DD1 at 33 (remember you are extra fertile after having a baby a glass of wine may have made me forget this Blush. My sister has just had DS1 at 34 after 5 months or trying. Looking at my friends it seems people are more fertile in their 30's.

Katewright699 · 16/10/2014 20:20

That sounds good to me camping I'll take old fertile age any day of the week Smile all of your lovely encouraging stories have made me feel so much better and slightly less alone.. Even though everyone in the playground keeps telling me ' I must be bloody mad to want another one ' well I suppose I must be stark raving bonkers because yes, I DO want another one !

Had a huge row with DH, made up Wink
Pregnant Blush

DC2 - decided to TCC and DTD once - pregnant
DC3- thought a 3rd child would be a great idea DTD once - pregnant.
If contraception didn't exist I would have 27 DC and 56 DGC

RabbitSaysWoof · 16/10/2014 20:24

First cycle at 31 fell for dc1 Smile

Katewright699 · 16/10/2014 20:24
