Hi lovely. No real advice here, but I was feeling very frustrated like you. My first two pregnancy’s were unplanned and then when actively trying it took us 7 months to conceive. I had to delete all the apps and come off here for my own sanity, also came off all supplements and started exercising again to give me another focus and that month it happened!! Dont give up, it will happen! 🩷
Sorry to hear you’ve gone through that 😢 with you having children already I’m not sure you’d qualify for any help with nhs however, I’d speak to your gp. Even if they can do bloods to confirm/deny ovulation to give you an idea. Sorry I’ve not been able to give any more helpful advice x
I conceived my daughter at 37 after 2 years of trying. Gave birth at 38. I turned 40 in May and now also have a 2 week old. You’re definitely not too old! Have you spoken to your GP? Mine was really unhelpful and wouldn’t do any tests for us until after I’d turned 40 (ridiculous!) so we had private fertility testing done. May be worth looking into? However, saying that, it can take a healthy couple up to a year to conceive so, as frustrating as it is, it may just take a little longer this time. I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through and wish you and your partner lots of luck x
If you’re over 35 and you’ve been trying for 6 months without success, you should go see your GP to get some tests done. They’re very simple tests - you’ll do a couple of blood tests and your partner will do a semen analysis - and at least at the end you’ll know where you stand.
I turn 37 this month, I have had 5 children in my 20s I have been trying to conceive since Oct last year, I had a chemical in Dec and then I had a miscarriage at 8 wks in March, it's absolutely sole destroying when ur not conceiving each month and feel it's this month etc, I contacted my gp and we had scheduled this month to check my bloods through my cycle but I've actually just fell pregnant. Don't give up hope it will happen, definitely contact ur gp. Good luck
I’m 36 and ttc no3. My two are older and I’m now with an amazing partner but agree it’s not so easy now I’m older. No1 and 2 I caught the first month of trying. Currently going into month 3 now and nothing yet. I know it’ll happen and I need to stop stressing. Good luck x
