First time TTC women 35+

I’m hoping to connect to women trying to conceive for the first time in their late 30s and above.

Im 38 and first time TTC. There is so much information out there and it is so overwhelming that I feel like if I keep looking at it all I may feel discouraged. I refuse to purchase gadgets, I don’t want all the gimmicks. I know so many women conceive naturally even in their mid and above 40s. I’d love to hear any stories you might have to help offer support, advice or words of wisdom. ❤️ thank you

Same! I’m 43 and trying for no. 2. It’s been a 5 year journey so far starting at age 38 so very keen to connect with others.

I hope your second blessing will come soon with ease ❤️ I’m a true believer in ‘everything happens for a reason’ no sooner than it should and no later. But I must admit, my finance and I have just started and I’m already noticing the extreme emotional shift I’m going through each month. I’m nervous about going forward and how I’ll cope 😰

When's the earliest you got a positive? I'm only 7-8 dpo so just curious

My daughter is half Filipino half British

I am worried in the future she is not going to understand her identity I don’t want her to feel like she’s not British enough or Filipino enough my partners cousins are mixed too and they was brought up in the uk and really struggled with feeling like they don’t belong to any side of the family how can I prevent that I’m trying to really have her in both sides of culture but I feel like my partner is struggling to remember to do so and he’s the one that has to teach her his culture he knows it the best I’m learning along the way too with my daughter.

Motherhood

I absolutely fucking hate it that’s good some people actually enjoy this but me no I wish I would have aborted her and this other child yes this child hasn’t done anything since it’s not here yet but fuck this shit and I know when this child do get here having 2 under 2 will be worse but I can’t take the constant crying sometimes I just want to end my life and that thought gotten worse ever since being a mother I hate it I swear I’m so close to doing adoption and I honestly won’t even give a fuck who think I’m a bad mother or person for doing it it’s fucking up my mental and I’m over the responsibility of kids plus they daddy has hella shit to say when she’s crying but won’t come take care of his child he helped create

Should I Trust These Tests?

So I dont know if I should trust these tests. I keep getting a colored second line. Doesn't even look like an evap. I keep getting these lines on my test and I dont know if it's the brand or what. I've never gotten evap lines that looked colored to me before. What do you all think?

Need some reassurance mamas

Guysssss, I’ve been stressing today 😭 basically I did a Clearblue digital earlier and it said 3+ weeks, then I did another one later and it said 2–3 so I was so confused thinking something was wrong.

I tested last week Wednesday and it came back negative but when I tested last Saturday it was positive so how could I be 3+ weeks pregnant? I’m so confused guys

But I looked into it and those tests just estimate based on the hormone in your urine, so if your wee is more diluted or it’s a different time of day it can show a lower result. It doesn’t actually mean the pregnancy has gone backwards.

Apparently it’s quite common and not super reliable for tracking progression, so I’m trying not to panic 😭 just gonna speak to my GP and get proper bloods done to be sure. Did this happen to anyone?
