hi ladies, I would like to have some suggestions from those of you who are on the same boat. I have been TTC for almost two years now. I had a miscarriage in this period, last year I lost my baby when it was 9 weeks. Since I have already a son who is 4.5 years (god bless him) and a miscarriage last year, the doctors tell me I have no problem to conceive, so better wait and keep on trying. Now I am 35 years old and I feel like I am losing the chance of having another baby and sometimes ask myself the question maybe it is god's will that I will have only one child even though I have always wanted more than one kid. Since we already have a son there should be no fertility issues or could this be happening in time? Should we start doing some tests (hormones, sperm test ro husband) or should I give up trying and let it go natural and be thankful that I have already a son? I am travelling frequently due to my job and there are some months that we miss. I have also tried ovulation test method and even though I have found out the exact dates for ovulation this did not work.

I am 34 and I am pregnant with my first, we TTC using the temperature/mucus method and I got pregnant on the first month trying, so dont worry too much about the age. Why dont you you give more time to this method?. www.fertilityonline.com has a lot of info. I read that even using lube can decrease your chances so it would be good to read a lot on how to improve the chances to conceive naturally. If you have has previous m/c that could be due to low progesterone, so maybe you could ask your doctor when you get pregnant to check on it. Last, dont not stress too much as that affects fertility. Relax. Sometimes it takes a bit longer than expected, just have faith and patience.
