Community Posts, Tips & Support on Trying to Conceive

Hey ladies, I had my first baby this year at 37yrs old and i definitely want to have another. How old were you all when you had your first and last? I want to be done by the time I’m 40 but that’s doesn’t give me a lot of time. Is there anyone that had a baby after 40? If so how are you finding life?

Any tips or suggestions? It’s been 12 months now. Me and my partner are just 24/25. No bad habits etc, no pcos no weight related problems etc.

Mentally, I'm doing ok but I'm getting so impatient! 6 months in and I just want to get that positive and be done with it. We are only going to have two children so this one is hopefully our second and last TTC. I hate that it takes some of us so long 😭

A few times I've found viagra in my partners bag after being on a lads holiday. Once it was an empty packet. I've said something to him about it every time and it's always been " it was for my mate" and "it's just a piece of rubbish in a bag why are you kicking off". Am I being naive in believing he's not cheated?

So a few times I've found viagra in my partners bag after a lads weekend away/holiday. One time it was an empty packet. Each time I've pulled him up on it he's said "it's for my mate" "it's just a piece of rubbish in a bag". Am I being gullible in believing he's not cheated? I dont want to kick off in case it reall...

Is anyone feeling really broody and thinking of trying for baby number two? Thinking of when to try and the age gap (around two years) and how we’d manage with that. Anyone else in the same boat? What’s your thoughts? I feel like we are already in the thick of it with naps and nappies so why not continue 😅

I’m losing hope. I’m 9/10DPO and at first I thought my body feels different. I had cramps, I had constipation, I had diarrhoea, sore gums, loss of appetite. But no implantation bleeding, negative tests. I’m holding onto hope that it’s still too early. But what if it’s not. We BD all the way through our fertile windo...

How did everyone stop testing? I've had both an ectopic and a misscarriage ( both before 6 weeks ).How did everybody stop testing when their tests were indicating progression? I've been testing since 8DPO and I'm now 15DPO My mind is stopping me from being excited because I'm scared it's gonna be ripped away from ...

I’m only 7DPO 🤦🏻‍♀️ ugh! This just makes me feel like I’m automatically out. Even though I know it’s early 🤦🏻‍♀️

Really interesting to know if others thought they may of wanted more children but then had a baby and changed their mind?

Anyone else got a SUPER clingy baby/toddler 😭 I’m sure it’s to do with baby no2. But by god is it hard 😂 he doesn’t even want his dad 🙄

Just thought I'd post some positivity again! 10 weeks post PPROM we had made , have had 4 hospital admissions and now I'm up to the day unit 3 times a week for bloods , monitoring etc it's getting close but the c-section is now booked to get the twins out safely . PPROM is such a journey but the end is in sight ...

Im 6 days post Day 5 Blastocyst transfer 🤞🏽✨ Any advice welcomed x

Has anyone had their thyroid checked? What levels did you get?

We’ve been trying for our second child for a few months now with no luck. Does anyone have any tips? It was so easy to conceive with our first, but this times proving a bit trickier!

We're thinking of trying again in September since we want a 2yr age gap. Is anyone else going for the same? Sometimes I think we are crazy for wanting to dive back in so quickly 😭

I just got diagnosed with Strep b and I’m getting induced tomorrow… I’m a little worried! Anybody been through this?

Had my first baby at 29. He is a year old. If I got pregnant again would snapping back take even longer

anyone considering trying for baby number 2? We want another but not sure if we should wait or just start trying now as might be nice having a closer age gap so they can grow up together.. However I am also feeling guilty if I did! TIA xx

My little one is 14 months this month… However myself and my partner are considering trying for another! Please can I have some honest opinions on how you find it ❤️ Is it as hard as everyone says? I’d feel guilty for my little one if I did have another, does that guilt go away? Thanks ☺️
