Trying to conceive, help needed

hi hi ladies, I had a Mc in September 21 and decided to try again but it’s not working and I am starting to worry as I am 36 and would be my 1st pregnancy. I am taking folic acid but not sure if I am doing something wrong… any advice would be greatly appreciated x

Sorry to hear about your mc
Try not to worry about age, it really doesn't necessarily mean anything. I had 2 chemical pregnancies when we started TTC and thought there was a problem. But it was just luck with catching it at the right time. I now have a 15 month old and I had him a month before I turned 37. He is my first, and we are hoping we might have another.
I bet you are not doing anything wrong at all 🥰 just try not to panic...easier said than done, I know! X
Thank you so much for your kind words and reassurance, it means the world to hear that. It’s so frustrating when you are doing everything right and want it so badly and you dread having that period. I don’t want to stress about it but it’s only a few days before my period that I start to panic!
I wish you all the best and hear your good news for baby number 2 ♥️♥️♥️
A few things I did which might have helped our chances were using pre-seed, using ovulation sticks to get the right days and doing my temperature every morning. I am going to try not to do those things this time though, because I got really obsessed with it
Thank you so much 🥰 x
thank you for the tips, really appreciate it 😘 I will try it for sure, although not sure about the taking temperature every morning (I didn’t know it was a thing) ♥️
I had read on here that other people were taking their temperature and thought I would try it. It's called basal body temperature I think, and it pinpoints when you ovulate. I found it worked well actually and was accurate. I just ordered a thermometer off Amazon, it has to be to 2 decimal places. And then there was an app I downloaded to put the temperature in every day. It was a free app and was fab! It gives you a chart to show the temperature rise after ovulation. Fertility Friend I think 🤔 oh my goodness I have literally just talked myself into doing this again 🤣🤣🤣 I would recommend trying it x
What really helped me to relax with it a bit is knowing that even if you have done everything to try and make it happen, I read that it is something crazy like 25% chance of happening. I told myself that really it was luck as much as anything. So many months I felt like we must have fallen pregnant because we had timed it perfectly.....but then have the heartbreak of all the negative tests. But I look back and think that the time was just not right then.
Ah I really wish you the best of luck with it 🥰🥰🥰 keep me updated, I have my fingers crossed xx
I ordered ovulation sticks today!!!! They should arrive tomorrow, good old Amazon Prime!! 🤣🤣
Best of luck to us all x
@Alis20 yeah we have got this!!! 🥰🥰 xx
