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

Yep 38 first attempt.
I have also conceived 5 other times all within 6 months max and all above the age of 36... Only 2 kids mind, but that's another tale

stargirl1701 · 16/10/2014 22:15

DD1 - 1st cycle at 34
DD2 - 1st cycle at 36

Dc1 took 12 months of ttc at 32 but Dc2 at 34, took one accidental moment of passion! Grin

Ds conceived first go at age 36.

Dd conceived at age 40 (almost 41 really), but had a mc a couple of months before.

I'm not the one to ask about constant shagging, as I just worked it all out and did the deed and was successful, amazingly Grin

BikeRunSki · 17/10/2014 14:28

We just shagged pretty much every night for a month. My cycle has never been that regular. We had the odd night off. Did the job though.

prestolondon · 17/10/2014 14:35

This thread provides such hope, congrats to everyone. I have just turned 38 last week and I am on my 3rd cycle, have CB monitor and will need to start it properly when I get my AF.

I must join a bus here.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 17/10/2014 14:43

Um after taking 10 cycles at 28
Knocked up by accident at 30
One cycle at 34 (miscarriage)
Pregnant next cycle after that
One cycle at 40 (damn you, spur of the minute mid life crises)
Obviously we were doing something wrong at 28 (much less healthy lifestyle).

Katewright699 · 17/10/2014 14:44

Lol .. I so wish I had the energy for that bikerunski but sadly both me and dh are lightweights in that dept after 11 years of marriage Grin... This thread definelatly gives me hopepresto... Let's hope we're posting our bfp's here soon !! Xx

Personally I think egg whitey mucous is the key. Sorry if TMI.

Katewright699 · 17/10/2014 14:51

Yeaaahhhh sadly that has been somewhat lacking this month unfortunately .. Used to get loads of it when I was on the pill... Sod's law strikes again !!

I got pregnant in one go at 33 and twice again at 35.

There's no guarantees for anyone, though.

vdbfamily · 17/10/2014 14:55

I got married aged 33 (was a virgin) and returned from honeymoon pregnant. Had 3 kids between age of 34 and 38 (plus 2 miscarriages at 12 weeks) so was almost continually pregnant for those 4 years!!!

MelonOfTroy · 17/10/2014 14:56

Yes, aged 34 got a bfp in first month of trying (sadly ended in a mmc), left it a month then conceived again in first month of trying and all turned out well.

Good luck!

Katewright699 · 17/10/2014 14:58

I fell pregnant with my first without trying at 33.

However I'm now 38 and I have been trying for #2 for nearly 2 years so it's been very interesting to read stories of ladies on this thread in their late thirties/early forties conceiving easily especially as my doctor has said they won't run anymore tests because it's my age.

Anotheronesoon · 17/10/2014 19:47

33 got pregnant second month of trying with ds1, ds2 came along 18 months later - first try at concieving- only took the once ( I was 34 at conception)! I had told dh that it would take a while to catch- he was a bit taken aback and felt a bit cheated out of months of fun trying!

IShallCallYouSquishy · 17/10/2014 19:49

Fell pregnant with DS without even trying age 30 Smile

TheDogsMissingBollock · 17/10/2014 19:55

At 30 took 4 mths, at 34 took 3 mths. Wdnt ideally have waited further after m/c at 29. Didnt want to lengthen the odds.

Womble1975 · 17/10/2014 20:59

DC1 2nd cycle age 36
Currently 6 weeks pregnant with DC2 again 2nd cycle aged 39

HaroldLloyd · 17/10/2014 21:01

a cheery article for you

No issues here at 35 and 37.

DizzyNorthernBird · 18/10/2014 13:04

Hi this is my first ever post!

I turn 35 next week and am planning ttc for my first before the end of the year. Naturally I had concerns due to my age so this thread has been massively reassuring, as has your link haroldlloyd :). Feeling much more positive now so thanks everyone!

Katewright699 · 18/10/2014 14:28

Hi dizzy Smile I'm feeling much better about it all since reading all the lovely success stories :) and like you hoping I will have a nice BFP to share before the end of the year... Keep us posted !!!
