In our 30's and TTC- baby dust

[babyG123]

Anyone fancy joining this bus?

1dpo and due on 8th

@Attybae welcome, have you approached your doctor at all? I'm sure I read if it's been a year to go to seek help?

@notyetamumbuttrying fingers crossed!!! Exciting 😬

@BabyG123 thank you! Just hope it doesn't take the full year, can't take much more of this lol! How long have you been trying?

@notyetamumbuttrying super lucky on cycle 1 🤞🏼 sending baby dust your way 👶🏼

@BabyG123 thank you, you too!

Joining the lucky thread if that's ok. Just turned 34, TTC #1, cycle 6. Had a chemical pregnancy in April and it is making me want a little one even more.
CD 11, should be ovulating soon. Following the SMEP.
Congrats to all the BFPs. Love success stories.

Welcome @jaxs23. We sound close in age, I turned 34 in March. Sorry to hear about your CP. I keep hearing about SMEP, I wanna try it but we don't have sex that often, I'm not sure we'd manage it lol! Perhaps when my rubbish period shows up tomorrow I'll show hubby what SMEP is and wage a bet that we can't stick to it lol! I do think that's probably what's keeping us from being successful. We do do it at the right times but we're not consistent with it.

Hi there. I’ve been ttc for six months. I fell pregnant last month but this ended in a chemical pregnancy. I’m 37 so very panicked about my age. I’m convinced this happened because of poor egg quality. I also have an under active thyroid which has only been diagnosed and treated in the last three months. Any words of advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you xxx

@Annabel19 sorry to hear about your CP. I've heard that coq10 is a good supplement for egg quality. I'm going to order some tomorrow when AF arrives. Have a google and see what you think. My friend conceived with an under active thyroid and on thyroxine if that gives you some solace.

That’s a great tip @notyetamumbuttrying. I’ll have a look. How are you getting on? Xxx

It is a lucky thread!

@Babyboom1990 I had nausea from from 2dpo and I have it on and off still now. Mostly heart burn and tiredness. How about you? I am 6+4 by the booking in people but with my long cycles I know the scan will show not that far.

@Annabel19 no worries 😉
Not great today, can feel AF coming (due tomorrow) and I really thought we'd caught this month as we'd done it 3 days in a row at the right times and used preseed, all things we'd not done before but there really isn't an exact science to it. I'll be onto cycle 9 from tomorrow. Hoping that's our lucky one as a lot of ppl I know fell on cycle 9. Just feeling extremely disheartened by the whole ttc process now.
Are you trying for your first? We are and I'm 34, husband is 37.

@notyetamumbuttrying Yep, we’re trying for number one. I’m 37, husband 38. Fingers crossed for you xxx it’s frustrating isn’t it? At 34 you’ve got lots of time on your side xxx

@Annabel19 it is very frustrating!! I hope so, thinking of booking drs sooner than the year mark as never conceived, ever and getting worried. I'll see what cycle 9 brings and then decide. Fingers crossed for you too!!

@notyetamumbuttrying Good plan. I’ve been told to ask for day three blood tests for FSH and LH. My doctor has told me we have to try for a year before anything can be investigated. Might try another doctor. Best of luck to you, it will happen. I’m keeping fingers crossed .. I’ve seen so many women go through this and end up with a positive result xxx

Hey, it's been a while but finally got AF yesterday. 6 weeks after miscarriage, I was 11 weeks pregnant. Always shit to see AF but relieved everything seems back to normal and we can get on with ttc AGAIN.

@Annabel19 would defo try another dr as you can get going on tests after 6 months of ttc if you're over 35.
Thank you so much, I need all the encouragement I can get as really getting to me now!

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage @MrsTtobe. Great to hear you're starting back ttc. Best of luck! 🍀

Thank you @notyetamumbuttrying x

@Babyboom1990 I'm going to wait for the 12 week scan. It's a slippery slope for me. I ended up having g about 6-10 private scans with DS1 as was so worried all the time and it was just ease to go and get checked.

Need to be a bit more chilled out with this one.

No cramps but my c section scar sometimes feels like it is pulling tight. Weird I know!

@notyetamumbuttrying i just turned 34 in march as well. I did 5 cycles of DTD at the right times during ovulation and it seems to cause more stress for me. Never feel like we did enough. This is my first cycle doing SMEP and bbt. Having a schedule just makes me feel more in control of TTC and temping to reassure me that im actually ovulating.

@MrsTtobe sorry about your MC. Glad your body is back on track so you can continue your TTC journey.

@jaxs23 ooh I wonder if we share the same birthday?! I'm 19th, you? I feel exactly the same cos I know we don't do it enough. Prob 3/4 times max in fw. Have you tried ov sticks? They tell u day before you ov and then bbt tells you once you have. I wanna try SMEP but don't think my fw is long enough as I'm fertile as soon as my period finishes (24 day cycles). I'm trying agnus castus to hopefully ovulate later, it's usually cd10! I'm hopeful they work ASAP as I want a longer cycle so desperately. In my head, this is the reason for my lack of success so far. Immature egg etc.

@Babyboom1990 my friend always said... what would a scan do anytime ay? Not like you can do anything once last that point. But I was like I'd rather know!
