Over 30s chat

[Mummysparrow]

I am cd1 on my 5th cycle of trying since my TFMR in May and this is new territory for me. I conceived my daughter at the age of 30 on the 2nd cycle and conceived my little boy in Feb this year on the 3rd cycle. Unfortunately he had T16 which was fatal. Most babies with T16 miscarry in first trimester but my little boy held on for me to see him on a scan. Unfortunately he was not doing well and i would have ended up miscarrying eventually as the condition is not compatible with life.
So here I am TTC again at the age of 35. Cycles are finally back to normal but I just don't seem to be getting pregnant as easily as before. My boys due date is tomorrow and I really hoped to be pregnant again by now.
Anyway enough with my rambling. Who else is over 30 and TTC?

Congratulations @NamechangeTTC I would say wait a week or so for 2 to 3 weeks. I always think these digitals are random as you are more likely 3 to 4 weeks pregnant going by LMP 🤣 but they don't t go by that

I should be 4+ 1 on LMP

No, @Mummysparrow, no timeline. I do have the bereavement midwives coming today and again for my 8 week bloods appointment next week, so I'll ask them again. I have a list of about 40 questions to go through today. We want to try again, but I don't feel right doing it without the green light from the bloods.

Congrats @NamechangeTTC It doesn't get much clearer than that! Crossing my fingers for you.

@NamechangeTTC Congrats! At least you’ve that confirmation now! Really pleased for you 🥰

Sending so much love @KittyFantastica

How is everyone?
Cd11 here and I had some EWCM yesterday so I think I should get my LH peak tomorrow 🤞 a few days earlier then last month so cycle is definitely getting back to normal finally 6 months after loss

Hi hope you don't mind if I join! 31 in January and ttc #2 this will be cycle 12 currently waiting on aunt flo to show! Took me 14 cycles with my first so expecting it to be longer this time round!

Hello, we decided to get away last minute and have booked a holiday in France. I'm not tracking, but I've noticed a tiny bit of EWCM today. I'm only CD9, but cycles have been odd all year due to the multiple miscarriages, so I could ovulate any time. I'll do an OPK each day until we go just in case I do ovulate early and, if I don't see anything happening, I'll just go on holiday and we'll enjoy ourselves blind to it.

I don't think I've updated since I wrote this! I'm now nearly 5 weeks pregnant!🙂

Hey everyone, thought I’d join in here as TTC no2. I’m so sorry to hear of the losses some of you have experienced.

It’s just our second month of properly trying, our daughter is 6.5 months old but I’m going to 37 next year so we want to crack on. My partners also decided he may want a third so we really do want to get going 😂

I’ve been using OPKs as my cycles been a bit all over the place since having my daughter. However, my last two cycles were the same length so I hope I’m settling down now, just wanted to try OPKs to make sure I was ovulating. I’d come off the pill before conceiving our daughter, had one weird post pill cycle then fell pregnant on the second normal cycle so hoping for a quick one again but who knows.

I’m CD12 and got my LH peak today, we had sex yesterday but my partner seems to be coming down with a bad cold so hoping we can sneak another one in tomorrow at the right time! We skipped trying last month as we were both full of the cold so hope it doesn’t scupper this month too.

Hi Ladies. Unfortunately it is looking like I may have secondary infertility as it looks like I have a c section niche with a pocket of blood with it. Also a potential adhesion. I have been referred to Gynaecology but it is likely to be a 4 month wait to see gynae and then would need a specialist scan and a potential surgery. I am so upset. Considering I have been pregnant since having a c section I can only assume the last pregnancy has made things worse. It doesn't mean I cant conceive but can make things hard and it comes with a risk of miscarriage and/or uterine rupture. Absolutely devastated. I only went to have a scan due to spotting for a few days after period. I wasn't expecting this tbh
