[Bex4567]

Hi..im 37 and have 2 kids 17 and 13...trying for baby number 3 been activially trying for 4 months...going into month 5 now...

Does anyone worry its not going to happen or there's something wrong with u 😪.
I no people say its only been 4 months its nothing but I'm at that age now where times against me..
Just wandered if there's anyone here over 37 who took a while to get there bfp..thankyou

@Bex4567 you re not alone!
I m 38, trying to conceive baby #2
Like you I started 5 months ago...
Yeah it's stressful isn't it.

Heyyy jumping on for support! I'm
38 and have been trying since January with a mmc thrown in for good measure. We have one 3 year old already and currently trying for number 2 😊 it's an emotional rollercoaster to say the least! I'm hoping this month is the one so I can give my partner and daughter a special Christmas present 🥰 I've just started bbt and conceive vitamins so hoping they help! We're in it together ladies xx

Same boat, 2 teens and trying now for 3rd. Been a year and I've done it loosely in ovulation dates stupidly thinking it would be easy but 10 ovulation dates later and nothing. Ive been told to up the vitamins, make sure the OH has vitamins that boost sperm, do it atleast every 2 days on ovulation days and relaaax

Thankyou all for your reply. Have any of u been to the docters for tests as I've heard if your over 35 and it's been longer than 6 months u should go docters 😪..

I take vid d,vit c and folic acid but reluctant to take pregnecare or anything as apparently it messes with your cycle 😪..
It's so hard last 4 months we've done it every other day sometimes every day over fertile week and still nothing ...
I'm beginning to think something wrong with me 😪

Same boat...I'm ttc #3 and am 38. My two kids are 4 and 7. This is coming up to my 4th month of trying. I am feeling the same as you and beginning to worry. Age is really factoring in as well.
I had an ultrasound recently and seems to show things look ok.

I think the main thing which makes it hard for people ttc is that they stress too much. I was laid back ttc #1 and got pregnant within the first month. Ttc #2 I was pregnant but miscarried within 3 months of ttc. Then became pregnant again after 2 more months.
This time round I find myself worrying constantly looking at my period calendar & doing ovulation tests etc. This month I will try not to stress too much and take a more relaxed approach.

Good luck and try to relax. I read online that they suggest dtd every other day after your periods end and then every day when you ovulate for 3 days in a row. Supposedly that works for most people. Will try that this time.

@Rose38 I think you're right with the stressing! It took me 3 years to conceive my first and I did nothing but stress in my tww every month! We finally conceived when I gave up hope and bought a dog 😂 this time round we just decided to see how it goes and we fell pregnant within 3 months but unfortunately it ended in a miscarriage. Again I've stressed every month after it happened and I've not fallen pregnant again... this month we've been taking things easy and I've tried to stop obsessing over everything plus cut out alcohol and lowered caffeine. I started taking the pregnacare conceive tablets before I read they mess with your cycle 😂 so I'm just riding them out incase they help! I read that when you stress about conception your body prioritises cortisol over pregnancy hormones so it literally stops you from getting pregnant! Crazy! Xx

I'm 38 this month and currently 7 weeks pregnant. We both have known fertility issues tho so needed ivf in our case

@MoonIightDreamer Huge congratulations to you ✨ I hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy!

I'm 36 and currently 14 weeks pregnant. Had a mmc in April and fell pregnant again in September. Best of luck to you all 🤞🏻.

I've decided this month to track nothing..

I've had enough.weve done it every other day for 4 months sometimes every day and it hasn't worked..im not tracking anything this month I don't have the strength anymore

It's very stressful..im beginning to think somethings wrong with me it's horrible...people say don't stress but it is stressful when u want aomethjng so much lol ..I feel like I'm letting my partner down every month it's bfn

I'm 37 an he's 32

@Bex4567 you have 2 kids already? Is your current partner their biological father? I know it's so stressful but you can't blame yourself, it can take up to a year, 5 months is t that long in the grand scheme of things.

If you really are worried then get blood tests done on cycle day 3 and 7 days after ovulation just to check everything is ok. Get your OH booked in for analysis too just in case it's something his end. 37 isn't that old so honestly try not to panic just yet. I know it's easier said than done. I'm 41 so have way less time on my side 😣 Best of luck next cycle 🤞

I'm 41 and due to give birth in the next 3-5 weeks.
It took 6 months TTC then I miscarried, then another 6 months. We went for private fertility testing to be told there was nothing wrong and judging by our results we shouldn't have needed to be sat there. The only thing we did differently the month we conceived was being busy & not tracking etc, DP was moving in with me and getting his house ready to rent,I stayed there with no thermometer or ovulation tests and it just happened! I know it's easy to say relax when you want something so much! Everyone kept telling us to go on holiday or book a weekend away

No there not the farther of mime but he has a 9 year old so he's ok I presume...I no its just so disheartening every month...sending baby dust to you...
I'm going into month 5 now...not sure what else we can do more lol

Sending baby dust to all who are trying to cocieve and pregnant

@Bex4567 5 months isn't that long so don't stress yourself out.
Took us 17 years to get pregnant the natural way. obviously shouldn't take as long as that haha . I'm currently pregnant again via ivf.
Have you thought about having any tests? Including blood tests Just to check your definitely ovulating and basic health check ect
Also for him 9 years is a long time and things can most definitely change in that time. Speaking from experience. I'd consider a sperm mot

Thanks I've booked an app in January as that will be six months so if nothing then I will..but I'm scared of things being wrong 😪that what worry me ..congrats to u also

It's very stressful yeah 😪

.

@Stephy1024 love to hear this .. im 36 and ttc baby #2 - doesnt help i am impatient and with a new partner to my baby 1# so its his first and my 2nd!

Just wandered how everyone is getting on any more bfp I'm in month 6 now 10dpo and bfn so prob out this month too 😪

Hi all,

I’m 41, TTC #1 15dpo no AF and every test has been BFN! Don’t know what to think!

I've been testing positive for the last few days but faint lines. I had a chemical pregnancy last month so I'm cautious to feel anything just yet about these tests. I'm about 13DPO I think. We managed to dtd a fair amount this month only missing the 2nd day after ovulation.

Attached the Boots pregnancy test I did this afternoon. Easy@home lines seem quite faint still.

A lines a lines looks good to me when is af due

@Bex4567 AF due on Tue so 2 days left.
