TTC after 35

Introduction

Hey all - children mentioned

I've been on the bump in the past.  I have two boys ages 3 and 1 and am trying to get pregnant with a third and most likely last child if we are successful.  I turned 35 this past August, and my husband and I have been married for 4 years.  We have been ttc for 3 months.  Just got my last negative test a couple days ago.  With our first two we got pregnant the first month we tried, so now I'm kind of freaking out that we haven't gotten pregnant as quickly this time.  I'm wondering if being older if something has changed or if we were just super lucky to get pregnant with the first two.  I feel stupid even being sad and disappointed because we are blessed with having 2 healthy boys already and 3 months is nothing in the whole scheme of trying.  I just really want one more and hope that is able to happen.  I've been lurking around here a bit and will probably continue to lurk and post some as we keep ttc.  Sending good wishes to everyone here as we ttc together and chat.

  • Welcome and Good Luck!  This is a great board with lots of support.  There is nothing wrong with wanting to add to your family.  I'm in a similar situation where my first conceived 2nd time NTNP.  Its been a lot harder now.  Be sure to give yourself 6 months before you get discouraged.  That is the guideline for after 35.

  • To be honest 3 months isn't all that long. I'm sure you want it to happen quickly but it may be a bit premature to get frustrated. Every pregnancy is different so you can't go by your previous pregnancies unfortunately.

    Good luck on your journey, FX for you!
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site. 



  • Welcome and good luck!

  • Welcome.
    We conceived #1 and 2 the first month trying as well. It's been a bit of a journey TTC #3. I don't know if it's age related (I was 36 when we first started) either, or if it's just life. I mean, I know we were super lucky conceiving both babies the first month trying.

    Best wishes to you on your journey, I hope your stay here is short!

  • (child mentioned) The stars all fell into place with our first, and we got pregnant on our third month. This time it's been six months with no BFP. I wouldn't be concerned with three months-esp. because I imagine that your body is probably still sorting things out from the birth of your second.

  • Welcome. Been at it almost 2 years trying for number three, first two were surprises.
    There are sigi help posts at the top of some of the other boards. Check one if the birth month boards or the ttc board.
    After 6 months of trying it's a good idea to see your dr.

    haha, that's okay, he was "supposed" to be a may kiddo I'm assuming?

  • Welcome and good luck.  I think it's perfectly normal to be frustrated after 3 months of negatives.  Just try to stay positive and see your doctor if nothing happens in 6 months (one good thing about being over 35, you don't have to wait quite as long to see a doctor - good for those of us who are impatient).  Did you breastfeed?  That could be causing some delay in your fertility returning too.  Hang in there!
