Trying to conceive 37

[Bex4567]

Hi

My partner are on the first month ttc.I am 4po I think and am having sort of fullness, heartburn ect cramping I no its too early for symptoms uve read but the 2ww is agony 🤦‍♀️.
How do people cope.. has anyone had symptoms early and is anyone on the 2ww currently who can support eacgother through this...
Also needing a wee alot..ill prob do a test Sunday that will be 9po but even that's too early I think .and advise and support woukd be amazing

Welcome to the ttc club! Honestly I try my best to forget about the fact I'm in the 2ww, pretend it doesn't exist! I was ttc for 2.5 years with my ex so if I'd stayed focused on it I'd have lost half of each month for a really long time! Try not to test until your period is due because honestly there's no need, it can cause upset/stress/what ifs. Testing early won't change if you're pregnant or not. Just stay active, make sure you're taking your folic acid or preconception vitamins and eat/drink healthily. Best of luck to you!x

Hello! I'm 37 and pregnant, but I really recommend heading to the conception board. There's a wonderful thread of women 35+ who are super supportive and can help you navigate the TWW 😊

I found the month I fell pregnant I had no symptoms except for a bubbly tummy - but fingers crossed for you! ❤️

Wishing you all the best @Bex4567 it really can be so hard. I’m 37 in Nov and expecting my 2nd in October. Controversially, I do recommend testing early as that is how I found out that I was failing to implant due to low progesterone after losses at 6&7 weeks. I was put on progesterone and aspirin alongside vitamin D which worked. I’d take vitamin D and Zita West supplements - DHA and COQ10 for egg quality. Good luck 🤞🏼

Thankyou all for your reply and advice...

It's so hard not to test everyday.
I feel so much pressure on me to get pregnant too..every ache ,pain I'm like am I pregnant I don't no if my minds just playing tricks on me lol..

Going in to month 3 ..I no its still earrly days but it so hard getting negatives

Hello. We started trying for my first at 38 and i took 8 months and it's so hard and such a long wait too!

At 6 months I went to the GP for tests - they can do some non invasive tests to check ovulation and scan for blockages.

Track your fertile windows - although not romantic is does help.

Lastly and who knows is this works but my partner read somewhere tomatoes increase sperm mobility!

I'm 37 and 13 weeks pregnant. Took 7 months to conceive, I know it feels like forever the wait but actually looking back now I realise it actually wasn't that long. Try to relax and just trust it'll happen in it's own time and I'm sure it will soon! x

Thankyou I hope so too..its just there's always the what if I'm too old lol...my youngest is 13 now so starting all over lol congrats on your baby news

You're not too old! My youngest is 13 too. It does feel like starting again but it's nice, it's my partner's first baby so it's all exciting again! Good luck with it all x

Thnkyou good luck to you too

So I'm still here on month 5 now infertile week 😢just feel its never going to happen

Me too @Bex4567

Keep positive, I'm on CD10 I think, due to ovulate around Saturday. 26 day cycle so will test between Christmas and NY.

It's hard cause it consumes your thoughts and the googling! OMG the googling! 🤣

How old are you? I'm 39 so getting on a bit! x

It sure does...im 37 and have 2 kids 17 and 13 and this will be my third...just worried I'm too old now 😢have u been for any tests ect that worry me to as if its been 3 months they say go to docters for tests 😢

If I catch this month then I can test 2 days before nve which would ne amazing to tell my partner then ...but not getting my hopes up lol

@Bex4567 You definitely aren't too old! I know it's disheartening but it's a totally normal time frame. Sending you lots of hugs! Have you already done all the 'optimisation' 😅 you can?

Thankyou..yep done it basicaly every other day for the last 4 months 🤦‍♀️😢which is why I'm worried why it isn't working....this month I have been more relaxed for sure but dont get my hopes up now lol I'm due new years day so be nice to get a bfp this month for the new year

@Bex4567 That sounds intense! It will happen for you. Are you both taking supplements? 🥰 X

Well im hoping so but I'm 37 so not too hopefull. I am yeah vit c,vit d ,and folic acid

@Bex4567 Could be worth adding in Ubiquinol 😊 hopefully it'll just happen anyway next month!

I got pregnant at around cycle 5-6 at 37. Don’t give up hope!

I'm hoping so ..trying not to think about it as much its hard tho lol...hopefully it does happen soon 🤞we've done it so much lol csnt see how it's not working 🤣🤣

Hi girls so I'm in cycle 6 ..just coming into the fertile week...trying not to think about it from now on and just do it as and when and try to enjoy it...
Just started taking c0q10 and my partner ad that's spoked to help with egg ,sperms etc...
