In our 30's and TTC- baby dust

[babyG123]

Anyone fancy joining this bus?

1dpo and due on 8th

@Rma13 at least you know you'll ovulate after tho, so can at least have another go at ttc now. Or did you decide to wait until after op?

Joining this bus if that’s ok!

@hereforallthehelp yes please do! What's your ttc story?

@notyetamumbuttrying Thanks so much! Been TTC since May/June but didn’t track ovulation or anything so now nothing’s happened I’m on my first month of OPKs and Clearblue and had my peak and static smiley last night - just not sure how often we need to DTD now!?

@hereforallthehelp once you get your static, do it that day, the next day and day after if you can. Static is your peak and next day is usually ov. Good luck!

@notyetamumbuttrying Brilliant thankyou! DTD yesterday (static), this morning (Ov day) and will do tomorrow too! Have tested today and it’s gone right back down!

How are you getting on? X

@hereforallthehelp good stuff. I'm ok, 2dpo so not a lot to report on that front. I just generally feel a bit crappy at mo. Developed a throaty cough so that's irritating. Hopefully it'll pass by tomorrow!

@notyetamumbuttrying im definitely going to ttc this month! Im really excited about it! Fuck the op 🤣🤣🤣 welcome @hereforallthehelp fingers crossed for you

Haha good on ya! @Rma13 hope you get pregnant! X

@notyetamumbuttrying me too! Im so ready for baby number 2! My DS started school today and my heart is hurting! I hope you get pregnant soon too!! My fingers are crossed every day for you

Aww bless you @Rma13 me too! 🤞🏾🤞🏼

Hi everyone..Hope its OK to join. Best of luck to everyone ttc!

I'm 34 and my DH is 37. We are ttc #1. We have been trying since March/April. I wish I'd found these forums earlier. So much advice and support to be gained!

@xTTC2020x welcome! And yes there is plenty of support in here! Good luck on your ttc journey!

@xTTC2020x very similar to me! Also 34, Dh 37. Ttc #1 but it's been a year now! I hope it doesn't take long for you, it's very tiring and frustrating now, I just want it to happen. We've started investigations now and my first set of bloods was normal, get Dh's SA result next week!

Hi everyone - nice to know of this group :)
My husband and I are both 33. We have been TTC baby no 1 since May this year, finally. Never been on the pill. It's such a mentally excruciating journey :(

Is there anyone who's TTC#2? How long did it take first time around for you? I don't know what we are doing wrong? My periods are fairly regular. We DTD every other day in my fertile period. (I was never on the pill) it's been 4 months we have been trying, and we are both 33.

Hi @nervousnoob we are ttc #2 we tried for 5 years for our DS eventually got pregnant when i was 25. He was so worth it and is perfect imo but we would so love another! We've been trying for a year now for baby #2

Thank you @Rma13 :)

@notyetamumbuttrying I hope the investigations go well and it happens for you soon! Are the investigations taking place with your GP?

I came off the pill in Jan but we didn't start trying until March as I had started a new job and wanted to wait til I'd been there long enough to be entitled to the full mat pay... I naively thought it might happen straight away! We're approaching 6 months of trying now, I've been tracking ovulation with clearblue digital tests, and have just ordered the Easy at Home ovulation and pregnancy testing kits.

I'm wondering whether to ask the gp to check my levels to see if I coud do with taking any other vitamins. I'm currently taking Pregnacare which has folic acid and zinc. Are there any others anyone would recommend?

@xttc2020x When I was trying to conceive our ds, I found the seven seas trying to conceive vitamins really good.
I found when I actually was pregnant the pregnacare vitamins made me ill and I've spoken to a lot of other women who said the same.

Hi everyone, may I join? This looks like a nice group. DH and I are both 35 and TTC #2. DS was super easy to conceive so I niaevely thought number 2 would be the same. Came off the pill in September 2019 and didn't put in too much effort for the first few months. Fast forward to September 2020 and I am POAS twice a day, buying new vitamins every week and over analysing every potential symptom! AF starting today after another unsuccessful cycle so hoping for better luck this month!

Welcome @AprilLou I know how you feel!! This group is lovely though and has definitely kept me sane!

Thank you @Rma13 looks like we are in similar places with ttc number 2. We tried SMEP for the first time last month (tbh we weren't far off the plan when trying before anyway) so think we will give that another shot this month.

It's good to see that this thread has been revived. Good luck all!

@Rma13 great that AF finally showed.

May I please join? Im about to turn 35 and feeling a but blue. 2x MC this year. No kids. I know I can conceive but yet to get past 7/8weeks...

Also bummed out that I will be an older mum if I do conceive so I guess i'll have to amp up my diet & exercise!

Were going to start trying again in a few days.

Thanks @xTTC2020x yeah they are although my local hospital is still not doing routine appointments yet so I'll prob go private for the ultrasound scan once I get my day 3 bloods done. Will book in for those next week, obvs praying I won't have to and get a bfp instead!
I would also recommend coq10 or ubiquinol, it's meant to help egg quality. I've been taking it about 6 months now and obvs not got pregnant but it could be helping things?!
How are you getting on @Sakura54?
Sorry to hear about your MC's @GingerCalico, hopefully you'll get there soon! My friend whose 37 kept getting recurrent CP's and finally got a sticky bean 12 weeks ago so keep the faith.
