2nd baby at 38 - 12 years gap - what are my chances?
Hi Everyone! My name is Zelya, I’m 38 years old. TTC my second child.
A little history on my first baby: She is 11 years old and we weren’t even looking for a baby. I simply took a break from the pill in Dec 2010 and started the rhythm method using condoms on fertile days. There was only one night in January 2011 ( first month after stopping pills) when we had no condoms at home and my husband “withdrew”, but it looks like it wasn’t on time because boom I got a big fat positive pregnancy test exactly 2 weeks and 2 days later when I took the test cause my period was late. And nine month later I had my beautiful baby girl.
Fast forward to August 2022 when after a lot of begging from my daughter and a lot of thought and prayer along with my husband, we decided to go for number 2. I stopped the pill that same month. Of course now I’m 38 and I knew it couldn’t possibly be as easy as it was with our first one, but it’s been 3 month already and nothing… so I downloaded this app, bought some ovulation strips and a basal thermometer on amazon and I’m started to really track all of this seriously for the first time this month.
Today is my ovulation day.
My next post will be when I get my BFP hopefully soon!!!!!!
Hoping December is the month!!!
