Does anyone have a nice story about getting upduffed rather quickly in their 30's to cheer me up 😄

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

Non hormone coil out at 37, upduffed before having a period. No contraception in between though avoided fertile periods in cycle but first time of 'trying', pregnant at 39.

All this after a miscarriage at 16 weeks.

First time of trying at 35

Had my first at 30 , got BFP ON 1st cycle , got my BFP a couple weeks ago TTC no.2 and got BFP on 2nd cycle (I'm nearly 33) I Know that I'm pretty lucky but it can be straight forward . Good luck!

Yes it totally can happen super fast - for dc1, me aged 38, happened first month ttc! And we didn't have a clue about optimal dates etc. I had expected it to take months and had bought all kinds of (never read) books I planned to read about fertility!

It took a whole 8 weeks to conceive our ds at age 37 :)

I am 35. Stopped takng pill at Christmas and then my mum died. Time wasn't right so decided to use condoms for a while until I was feeling better.

We were not very good with them- couldn't be bothered with them really and didn't like them. Very hit and miss. DTD 3 or 4 times a week but still had some of a 12 box left in May!

Decided to start TTC in May (don't know what we thought we would do differently mind) and discovered I was 8 weeks pregnant!

Am now 29 weeks Grin

33 and got upduffed while on the pill. No, I don't really know how either.

professornangnang · 20/10/2014 07:15

It took us 2 weeks of trying before I got pregnant and that was at the age of 32.

ImBrian · 20/10/2014 07:16

3 times! First one accidentally at 31, 2nd and 3rd time straight away at 34 (miscarried the first time). I used ovulation sticks to pinpoint the best time and it worked.

professornangnang · 20/10/2014 07:19

IMO don't worry about eating or drinking different things, chinese medicine or any of that silliness. Just have sex loads.

Yep. Came off pill mid-2008, when I was 33 and a half, and was preggers after 6 months. Somehow convinced myself we'd have trouble conceiving number 2, but fell pregnant as soon as my periods returned, despite breastfeeding. Was nearly 34 the first time and nearly 36 the second. Am constantly grateful that we never went through the TTC agony, nor any miscarriages or other horrible things that some poor parents go through.

Had DC1 in late 30s and DC2 in early 40s so entirely possible. Just takes lots of pleasurable work trying WinkGrin!

Yes - got pregnant first time at 35 then at 37 - both times on first try (almost a bit too quickly - I was expecting it to take ages). I think it probably helped that I can feel when I am ovulating - usually a complete pain (literally), but quite useful on these occasions.
