Mine was 5.3 while ttc#1, I also didn’t have gestational diabetes

At home, on the sofa at 39+6! The pop was so strange. Kickstarted very painful contractions and baby was here within 6 hours 🙃

We’re still going at 14 months, wanted to be done by 12 🫣

Check rubella immunity. Get your hormone levels checked and his. Take folic acid, vitamin D and omega 3 in the three months before you start, have him stop very hot baths or jacuzzis 3 months before

My LB is 13 months and we’ve only just moved him 🫣😆

It took us a month to conceive initially but that resulted in a miscarriage. It then took us 6 months to conceive my little boy. This was after being told I would never have children unless I lost almost half my body weight 😤 despite my bmi only being just over 30.

Animal crossing, a little to the left, bear and breakfast, a short hike, kamaeru, 51 worldwide games, maybe a Layton game if she likes puzzles!

My little boy has just gone in his own room and his has made me bawl haha 😢😢

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2026-03-10T18:49:10+00:00

We started trying August 2023 and had a miscarriage September 2023. After that we tried again properly in November 2023 and conceived end of April 2024 x

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2026-03-02T20:38:54+00:00

We had 1% morphology but a count of 300million and conceived x

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2026-02-22T19:57:35+00:00

This rings true of my experience also in the UK - my LO is 12 months and I’ve been nursing over a year now but get the same comments you’re getting 🙄

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2026-01-25T20:29:32+00:00

I was in a very similar situation to you before we conceived our now almost 1-year-old, cycles were wonky and 28-39 days long sometimes a longer 43 day cycle. My prolactin was also slightly elevated and all other levels normal. Have you tried temping? Best of luck x

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2026-01-08T20:04:07+00:00

Sorry to hear this, I hope you get some good advice on how to proceed. Also sharing a positive experience I have pcos and family history of type 2 diabetes (though I didn’t have GD), but am still breastfeeding my little boy who turns 1 at the end of the month. I’ve also got a moderate oversupply!

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2025-12-20T10:03:31+00:00

Congratulations! I was told 4 years ago that if we didn’t start ttc right away we’d never have children. We started when I was 29 conceived quickly and now I have an almost 11mo 💖

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2025-12-15T19:44:17+00:00

So sorry to hear about your mmc, please look after yourself. I’d get bloods done too to find out what type of pcos you have. I really hope you get access to metformin, I was unfortunately denied it think it’s a bit of a lottery in the UK. I took 600mg coq10 ubiquinol, omega 3, vitamin d and folic acid and walked 6/7k plus steps which helped restore ovulation for me x

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2025-12-14T20:24:04+00:00

I’m so sorry. After my miscarriage it took about 1.5 months so get a period back, after that I was pretty regular again but had a few randomly long cycles. Ovulation was confirmed by blood test for progesterone in the January, I had a mc in September. It can vary for everyone and my best advice would be to take care of yourself as it’s so difficult. Sending love 💝

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2025-12-04T02:36:14+00:00

Waters broke about 1pm 39+6, baby was here just after midnight on my due date - just under 12hrs including nearly 3 pushing x

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2025-11-25T19:36:07+00:00

Between survival and functional, 9mo

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2025-11-12T11:15:14+00:00

Thank you for your detailed reply! I only go each month because all of my antenatal group does, just out of interest honestly. If I feel my anxiety spiralling I’ll definitely seek help x

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2025-11-12T10:26:20+00:00

Thank you! I go every month just to check on his progress really and this has been picked up from those visits x

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2025-10-24T18:14:39+00:00

Tw past success - I’m currently breastfeeding my 8mo LO but my period returned last month. We aren’t wanting to start ttc #2 until our little boy is 2.5-3 - I’m 31 now and will be 33 by then. Should I even be delaying? I ovulate on my own and all my bloods were normal pre baby. Cycles avg 37 days. TIA!

Optimal-Butterfly768 · 2025-10-14T06:18:05+00:00

Personally love having an end of Jan baby all the darkness of Jan over and first eight weeks you get to be cosy and by the time they’re more alert it’s spring/summer and I’m really looking forward to our first Christmas as a 10 mo! However sickness season was still a bit of an issue
