Tips on TTC

I have an 18 month old via a c section and only started trying this month. I'm in my mid-30s. When trying for the first, we fell pregnant without really trying but I don't know why this time around I feel like I'm going to struggle to conceive. Does anyone have any tips or things that have helped them?

Following cos I have the exact same feeling! My son is 2.5 and I’m starting to try this month. Today is the 5th day of my period!

@Shru good luck on your journey! I did try this month and my periods are due in 2 weeks so will see but wanting to prepare better for June !!!

Good luck! I am 35 and I have been trying for 9 months, this will be the 10th currently 8dpo and just took a negative pregnancy test. I’ve been doing EVERYTHING from vit d, Chinese medicine, tracking bbt, taking other supplements. Tubal patency ultra sounds to check everything and flush tubes. So far no luck. Maybe best advice is do nothing? Cos I’m doing everything. Fell so easily and quickly with my son.

I didn’t mean that to come off negative either sorry! Maybe just try and have fun and leave the stress at the door. Which I haven’t been able to do! X good luck

@nicole I understand. I'm ttc also, 1st is 2.5 years old through c section too. I had a chemical back in November and had to wait 2 months and now back to trying and every test I've taken is negative 😣

I’m hoping this cycle is your one too @Lauren!!! My first is almost 2 and also had a c section. Everything is just negative too :(

It took a while for us to fall pregnant with our first, it was all I ever thought about and the one month I was distracted because we were getting a puppy, it happened. We're only on month two at the moment but I'm hoping because I'm busy with work and our 2.5 year old, that will help with the distraction

Thank you all! I think you're right, perhaps not to overthink and just let it happen. I worry that as I am getting older, it will be more difficult to conceive.

Honestly don’t over think! Knowing your cycle and ovulation def helps but yeah keep busy like Kirsty said: the mental stress and overthinking is so not worth it. But ladies, I just got my faint positive yesterday! 🤞❤️ it is healthy and strong Wishing you all the best too!

@nicole Ahh, congratulations, I really hope it all goes well for you 🥰 I'm currently 5dpo and impatiently waiting to test!! X

I'm hoping I got lucky, I'm currently 9dpo and nipples are sensitive. This happened with my first

@nicole congrats hoping for a healthy pregmancy!

@Lauren I have my fingers crossed for you. When do you plan to take a test?

So I got impatient and tested at 8DPO. I've got a very faint line but still it's early days so will wait another few days to retest!!

I tested yesterday with an target brand of first response test that was blue dye and I I think I had a vvfl then I did this morning with an easy at home and it looks like nothing 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think im out
