36 and my last go at TTC

[moonflower5]

Hi everybody, nice to meet you. I'm in my third month TTC #3, and realized I missed what had helped me through TTC#2 four years ago - so here I am again. So glad to be here.

I'm much more nervous this time around compared to the last two, suddenly age is an issue! I've got baby fever something fierce.

Would love to buddy with anyone at CD2 or pretty much anyone, for that matter.

Me: 36
DH: 39
DS1:7
DS2:3
and one sweet angel, our first son who we lost in my second trimester

Hey hun! I am 37, going to start trying again next month as I just ovulated. I wanted to lose weight first but decided I need to start trying now. I also had a 2nd tri loss, lost my son at 24 weeks back in May 2013. I am terrified but I also know I want another baby.

I have irregular periods--but am determined to do my best to chart anyways. I don't know what CD I am on--I am going to be able to know more my next AF. DH and I talked long and hard (no pun intended, honest! ) about adding #3. We had a loss in 2013--1st trimester, and at the time we took that as a 'sign' that 2 was it. We're VERY grateful for our 2, but both DH and I feel there is someone in our family 'missing'....if that makes sense.

I wish you both nothing but the best and a healthy VERY soon!

I feel exactly the same, like something is missing.

I am CD 20. AF is due the 28th.

I am excited for us!

So happy to meet all of you and know I'm not alone. I have that "missing" feeling too and so do my boys (including hubby). Hope we can keep cheering each other on as we aim for our BFPS!

 

[Ali33]

I hope so too!

I am 37 and ttc #5. My first 4 are from my previous marriage. My DH and I swore we were done but then after getting married we decided we want to try for one together. I said I was going to be happy whether it happens or not but am now finding myself very disappointed when I get a bfn. I am on cycle 2 of actively ttc, af is due friday or sat.

 

[Ali33]

I have decided that I am not going to test or anything until AF is late. I don't want to drive myself crazy lol.. Good luck Joy! Hopefully this cycle will be your BFP!

Same here! I swore I was going to be soooo relaxed, but the BFNs so far have been awful.

Hi ladies, I'm going to be ttc #4 soon I just came off the pill last week so waiting for af to settle then will beibg trying. I just want to try and get fitter and a bit of weight off so don't mind a little wait. I have 3 boys 2 teenagers and one 2 yr old, we have decided it would be nice for youngest to have a sibling to grow up with as his big brothers are a lot older , although they are brilliant with him they have their own interests now.. So here I am again this site was so supportive last time and through a loss just before I conceived my youngest... So feeling a little apprehensive at the minute, I was really exhausted during my last birth so I'm definitely going to try and get a bit fitter this time.. Good luck to you all and can't wait to see some BFPs soon ��

I just wanted to say hi 😀 I'm 35 and have 2 girls 6 and 4. After swearing he was done my DH has undergone a massive about face and we are soon to try for #3 I'm getting mirena out on 4th Feb so concentrating on eating healthy and taking pre-natal vitamins until then. We've got an AI holiday booked at the beginning of May and had agreed we would wait until then to try....... Now we're both so excited I suspect we will start NTNP as soon as the mirena is gone.

I'm incredibly excited but very nervous too. I didn't do any sort of charting in my previous ttc attempts - Dd1 I got pregnant as soon as I came off the pill - no AF and DD2 I was still BF and got pregnant without AF returning! I'm very worried I won't be as fertile now that I've passed the big 35. Also quite a few of my friends have had miscarriages or ttc problems so I'm much more apprehensive than before.

I hope you don't mind me hanging out here for a bit- if nothing has happened by May then hopefully I will have picked up some tips on ttc

Hi Bump! Good idea with trying to get ready now. I started taking my prenatals in Sept. before getting my IUD out. I was hoping to get a bfp right away (I know wishful thinking) but we are on cycle #2 of activy ttc.

I am nervous about everything being harder now also. Dh and I have kids from previous marriages so this will be our first together. For both of us, we sneezed and a pregnancy happened, so having no luck immediately is naking me nervous. I am hoping that it is still the affects of my IUD and everything will balance out soon. Fx that your body gets back to normal quick after your mirena.

Hi
I'm 36 and TTC #3. My kids are 7 & 4 so each month that passes the age gap gets bigger than my liking

We are about to hit the 1 year mark for ttc. #1 took 8 months and #2 took almost 12 months so I'm not surprised it is taking so long but it is still really hard.

Hey hun! I would like to join you and be buddies! I am 36 and getting ready to do a FET at the end of February to TTC#3! Good luck and lots of baby dust to you! I hope you get your BFP!

My B&G twins are turning 3 in May! Fingers crossed they get to be a big brother and big sister!
