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

its quite embarrassing really !

Mumto3dc · 16/10/2014 20:29

Pg with no 4 first month of trying at 39.
I had my other 3 from 31 through to 36 and although I also had 3 miscarriages, none of my pregnancies took longer than 3 or 4 cycles.

I was 35 (three months shy of 36) when we decided to go for it.

Went to Cordoba (Spain), as you do. Went for a lovely dinner, curled up to watch the first episode of The Walking Dead, got totally freaked out and had to be 'comforted'...

DS is about to turn 3yo Grin

Of six women in my family/close friebds with dc/ttc, am the most fortunate by a mile and i count my blessings every day (corny but true).

Fingers crossed for you OP (but not legs, obv!) Thanks

I've been pregnant 3 times in my 30s and it took me no more than 4 months of TTC each time.

WeddingPlanner · 16/10/2014 20:33

I do. Too much holiday wine and lot of friskiness - aged 35.

TheGashlycrumbTinies · 16/10/2014 20:34

DD1 4 cycles at 35
DD2 first attempt at 38

Ilovenicesoap · 16/10/2014 20:34

I truly count my blessings - my DF lost 14 babies and now has 3 Smile
I also lost one but am very lucky to have my 3 DC.

flamingtoaster · 16/10/2014 20:38

At 37 was told contraception was a waste of time as I had large fibroids and that I should stop the pill. DS arrived 11 months later. DD was conceived first month of trying at 39.

RiverTam · 16/10/2014 20:39

using a digital ovulation kit, I managed to get pregnant 3 times, taking a month each time, in my 30s.

Katewright699 · 16/10/2014 20:40

Well it really does seem that for some fertility actually improves with age ! How encouraging is that !!

Yes 1st time 2months trying aged 35, 2nd time was discussing with Dh about using ovulation kits but was already pregnant without really trying aged 37

Notabar · 16/10/2014 20:44

Got pregnant at 30 no bother, and had accidental pregnancy at 37!

Hth Smile

DiscoDancer · 16/10/2014 20:50

Pregnant at 33, got my bfp in the first month of trying. I was expecting it to take longer Blush

TimeForAnotherNameChange · 16/10/2014 20:56

I got pregnant at the first time of trying with both my children, aged 30 and 32. Have a friend who tried for years and had a number of miscarriages who got pregnant after four years, and then pregnant the one and only time they dtd in the twelve months after the child was born. Also have a friend who tried for 8 years in her late twenties/early thirties and who'd basically given up, who then got pregnant. It does happen, and I truly hope it will happen for you too Flowers

Velocirapture · 16/10/2014 20:56

Pregnant in 6 weeks at 36 (Just before my 37th birthday)

Friend did it in less than a cycle at 34 and 38.

FastWindow · 16/10/2014 20:59

Yep, 36 and 39. Didnt even have a period with either of them, first one was straight off the combined pill, second straight off the non hormonal coil. Both kids AOK and healthy as horses.

MerryMarigold · 16/10/2014 21:07

At 32, got pg after 2 cycles. At 34 got pg with twins, valentine sex supposedly with no chance of getting pg as just finished period (hadn't had sex in months). That was a surprise. The pregnancy and the twins!

prettywhiteguitar · 16/10/2014 21:12

Dc3 aged 36, dp and I agreed to ttc, honestly must have conceived days later ! I am 17 weeks now :)

CPtart · 16/10/2014 21:12

Pregnant first time, one go at 32.

Katewright699 · 16/10/2014 22:05

Thankyou so much for all your great stories,and words of encouragement girls... With any luck I'll be adding my own success story soon Grin

Days. Really, it took days. On each occasion. 19,29,32,40.

MagnificentMaleficent · 16/10/2014 22:08

Have had three dc in my thirties, pregnant with each one first month of trying.

Now on the 'super coil' Grin

halfdrunkcoffee · 16/10/2014 22:10

With my second child, aged 33, I got pregnant in the first month of TTC.
DH's cousin got pregnant aged 34 very soon after starting TTC (I presume - child was born nine months after wedding and they had not been together very long before getting married).
I also knew someone who conceived very quickly aged 38ish.
