I have been ttc for about 3 years now, with no luck no at all. I am now 30 and worried it won’t happen at all. Any tips on things you’ve taken to help get you pregnant?

Guys I'm 30 with a 13 months old. My baby is kind of easy going and now I think I might be ready for another one. The reason I don't want a large gap is because I want more babies and I feel I'm running out of time. I could wait if I was younger. What is the best age gap and how is it like getting pregnant in your late 30s and early 40s?

?

Hey girlies! I have an 8-month-old and I’ve started thinking about when to have another baby lol. I don’t want the age gap to be too big, but I also don’t want to be pregnant while my baby still needs me 24/7, if that makes sense.

To be fair, she’s a really good baby — she sleeps well and is generally quite easygoing.

Any advice on how long you waited between babies, or how long you think is ideal? 💕

Any tips or tricks for TTC

TTC after D&C

Hello ladies, I just got the news we lost our baby at our 10 weeks scan (they aren’t sure when we lost them) unless it happens naturally i will need to take the tablets or D&C, i dont want to dismiss my feelings as im going through hell but so i know there is light at the end of the tunnel, when can i try again after D&C ?

2nd Baby

Hi all,

Recently found out I'm pregnant with my second after a long time TTC. I really want to enjoy it but oh my the anxiety is through the roof.

Is anyone else doing progression tests? How is this looking?

I never did this with my first or allowed myself to worry about anything but can't stop this time round.

Currently 4+3 so still so early. Scan booked for 7 weeks 🤞

Anyone else been diagnosed? So nervous!!

Advice for NFP and return of menstruation.

Hey guys my husband and I need to do NFP (natural family planning) again to prevent a pregnancy for reasons we’ve prayed about and spoken to a priest about, however, I’m still waiting for my cycle to resume so I can track everything. It’s been really hard as I’m 7 months pp and I’m not even breastfeeding at night since 3 months pp. I’ve tried absolutely everything, from a super clean diet and exercise (still going with this) to reducing night breast feeds to praying novenas 😂. Does anyone have any advice or know any ways to help your cycle/period return to normal?? 🤍🕊️

Too early to try for 3rd?

I am 33 years old and my baby boy just turned 11 weeks old. I have a gut feeling that I am supposed to have more kids, so I am certain I want more. I want to make sure I am giving my body enough time to recover, but I dont want to wait too long otherwise im done having babies. Can I have another healthy baby so soon?

I’m 6 Months Pregnant

I’m six months pregnant and I haven’t purchased a single thing for the baby, no idea where to start and feel so overwhelmed with everything… what’s the basic and essentials to prepare for a newborn? X

Expecting another baby sooner than planned..

Just looking for advice off of mums who’ve done it. I have an 8month old baby boy and just found out I’m pregnant so guessing only a few weeks or so giving me 17/18month gap.
Any tips, double pushchair recommendations etc.
Thankyou 🤣🥲

Long cycles ttc

Hi I have very irregular and long cycles and I’m so pissed off not getting a peak, CD21 I thought it’s finally approaching but it wasn’t and same with CD24 I was so hopeful to see progress for today’s test but again it’s gone down a lot 😭

I always hold wee 2-3 hours limited drinks not because of that xx
I don’t know what I’m seeking for with this post, maybe just if anyone has very long cycles and they still succesfully ovulate later and even better if they succeeded to conceive x

What on earth is going on?

Trying to conceive

Anyone else looking to try for another baby? We really want to have our second but would be interested to see if others are waiting for a bigger age gap, or to hear experiences from those who are already pregnant/had another? Thanks!
