Trying for first child aged 37

[worldwidetravel2017]

Anyone else in the same boat ?

I’m not but had my first at 36 with no issues (apart from emergency c section but that was not age related).
Good luck 🤞

I'm not but also had first at 36, no complications and straightforward birth. Good luck 🤞

Yes me 🙋🏻‍♀️ I was 37 in July & I realised that I actually did want to have a baby 🙈 So am on my 2nd cycle of trying now. How long have you been trying for?

Ace .
Sending all the luck

We started trying in July - i was 36.5

Aug we conceived
But had early miscarriage

Trying again from march 2024

( i have to have another colonoscopy and also get 2 months of 5mg folic acid bk in me )

Thank you
I have a bunch of health conditions
Including some liver issues.
And history of early miscarriage
But - im encouraged / ' allowed '/ advised to try

My hormone and fertility private tests in summer were gd results

Thank you

We were preg for first time when i was 36.5
But had early miscarriage

Good luck! I was Late to realise I wanted children and did not meet dh until I was 36. I was 39 before I had ds. He has kept me young and active and I would not swap later parenthood for the world. He's 22 now!

I had DC 1 at 34 and now 40 trying for DC2. I caught quick with first and all fine except emergency c section but that wasn’t age related but baby pooped inside me and heartbeat.

I'm 37 and trying for first baby. Started trying April and got pregnant in July, but sadly miscarried at 7 weeks..
Finding this TTC journey all consuming. Need to relax and stop obsessing, easier said than done though!

@worldwidetravel2017 so sorry that happened. I don't mean to sound flippant but at least you know you are fertile though. Maybe access some services that can help with what you need to be doing because of your age? I really don't know any but surely there's some advice that could help. Keeping my fingers 🤞 for you 😊

So sorry to hear of your loss - i know how hard it is

Lovely story
I only had my first date with partner when i was 35- similarly,.

Turned 36 late last yr
Early miscarriage sept
Now im 37

I have a few health conditions

Will be trying again from march

I had my first child at 37, I have pcos so was worried it would make it impossible, I conceived after 6 month of trying.

Had no issues with my pregnancy either, only problem was a failed induction which led to a c section, but otherwise both healthy. Good luck 🤞🏻 you'll be ok

Lovely story and thank you

I turn 37 next month, we are trying for our first and this month is our first cycle

Good luck and baby dust to everyone ❤️

Bon chance - good luck

Had my first at 36, second at 39. Conceiving the second happened much more quickly too.

Hi all,

Thought I’d jump on as I’m TTC for the first time at 37 as well.

most of my friends have had children of don’t want them so I don’t really have anyone to chat to about it!

I came off contraception about 8 months ago but apart from one incident in October when my period came a week late I’ve had no luck so far.
saying that we haven’t been tracking ovulation or anything, just seeing if it would happen. I am going to start tracking this month if I can!

So lovely to see lots of you in the same boat 😊

I highly recommend hertility health
4 hormone and fertility testing
Used them twice
Spring 2022
And summer 2023

Best 150 gbp spent each time

Ovulation test wise.
The cheap 3 gbp ones on Amazon do the job
Test am n pm

How's everyone getting on? I'm 37 and also trying for my first. It's been a bit of a journey so far. Started with male factor infertility at the beginning of a last year which we seem to have overcome and since July have managed to get pregnant every other month so far, 2 chemicals and one early loss at 6-7 weeks. Just started the TWW again and would love to have success this month. Glad to see others my age in the same boat...very comforting.

Hello can I join? 👋 I’m 37 and trying for our first. I have been pregnant twice before, a chemical and then MMC at 10 weeks. I’m currently CD13 month two of using the Clearblue ovulation tests and waiting for that static smiley, DTD every other day while flashing smiley. I quite liked using it last month as I felt like I gained a bit of control around it all. It also showed me I ovulate way later than I thought! I do worry about my age but trying to be optimistic! Hopefully this is a good month for us all!

Hello! Sounds like you're in a similar boat to myself. I've been assured by many that despite all the horror stories, that 37 is a good age to have a baby and not too old at all. Sorry to hear about your losses - they are really not pleasant are they?! I am just holding on to the positives that it means that pregnancy is possible and hopefully the next one will stick. I am about 2DPO at the moment... the TWW is the worst bit. Good luck with getting your static smiley and then getting busy! ;-)

Yeah Ekster this is the (kinda) fun bit when your estrogen is high and you’re hopeful for the possibility, the TWW after is always sooo long and my mood totally crashes 😂 hard to think of anything else! The static smiley took 9 days to come last month, I was just about ready to throttle that stupid flashing face 😂

That’s definitely true that it’s reassuring that pregnancy is possible. Sorry to hear about your losses too, every other month must have been so tough to go through. Let us know how you get on 🤞☺️
