35yrs + and trying ✨🫶🏼

[SCK2024]

I am now 37 and have one beautiful 10yrs old boy, my partner has 2 boys 9 & 13yrs.

I bought the Hertility kit online, not yet opened it… I was going to give this cycle my last attempt before investigating 🙃

We got pregnant a year ago but due to personal circumstances we both decided to not go ahead, this I carry so much guilt over 🪃

Now we are both ready and settled in our careers and home but now it has taken nearly 6/7cycles.

today I got my 1st + ovulation test, so beginning our January TWW.

what is everyone else’s story 🌟

Hello! Late to joining this thread but I’d love to read back on some positive outcomes when I get a moment !

Our story: Me and my partner are both 36 this year.
We started ttc for our first when we were 24 and when nothing was happening went through all the checks and told it was just unexplained infertility, 3-4 years later did 2 rounds of ivf that were both unsuccessful. Inbetween ivf we fell naturally pregnant but miscarried at around 6 weeks. Add another 4-5 years and we’d just given up trying along the way tbh!!

After 9 and a half years unexpectedly when we were no longer trying it happened. After our first was born we agreed to not go on BC and if it happened again that would be amazing and if not then that’s it. 16months after trying/not trying again we got pregnant with our second .. and third .. unfortunately one twin did not make it and we lost them very early on.

our second is now 6months and we’re trying for our third and final baby before we get too old (this is how we feel personally, I know people have babies older but we want to be done asap 😅).

wishing everyone good luck !!! 🤞 xx

@SCK2024 Just checked into the thread after ages and saw your news!

Congratulations! So so happy for you! 💖

Ahhhh thankyou! 🥰🥰🥰
I had an emotional wobble at the start overthink and panicking 🫠😄
Today I went into ultrasound at work and asked them to scan me so I feel reassure before going away and there I saw my little baby flickering away! ❤️🤭
How are you? Xx

Ah how lovely for you! I’m so pleased.
I’m okay, getting close to the end, about 8 weeks to go now. It’s gone so fast and been such an emotional rollercoaster 😂
