43 and TTC, positive stories please 🙏🏼

Hey everyone. I’d love to hear from anyone around my age (43.5yrs old) TTC. My AMH is 0.252ng/ml or 1.8pmol/l (depending on what country you are in). I’d really love to hear from anyone who’s conceived naturally at 43/44. Did you know your AMH? My AMH shows very low reserves but I had my first baby at 41 and my ...

3DPO

I am driving myself insane, I am really struggling to just not think about it all the time. I know I can’t test but I’m trying to decide how soon I can and I know I’m being fully ridiculous. Anyone else the same 🙈 I’m a serial tester too and I know I shouldn’t be!

Finding it difficult to conceive

I’m finding it hard to conceive second time. My first born was in September 2021. We’ve been trying since January this year. I’ve got the ovulation kits and we are having sex mainly during the fertile period. Feeling a bit disheartened though my husband feels we haven’t been trying for long.

Just wondering how long people waited before speaking to a GP on their TTC journey? My partner and I have been trying for over 1.5 years.

Crazy

Is anyone else as crazy as me to have another baby once my second turns 1. For some backstory I have a 21 month old and an almost 6 month old. Both boys hubby and I really want a girl. And my current mentality is to just get it done now instead of waiting 2-5 years and starting all over with the sleepless nights etc...
