Top tips for 40+ ttc

[pmtqueen]

Hi guys, I recently got pregnant by accident but it made my partner and I realise how much we wanted a baby. I miscarried early and we were both devastated.
I've got 2 kids aged 18 and 21 from a previous relationship, he (also 41) has no children.
I'm now driving myself a little mad, I was only discharged from the EPU last week.
I'm now on Folic acid. vit D, ubiquinol and I've just booked fertility acupuncture for Thursday (she offered Chinese medicine too which I have declined at this stage).
We've booked to go away to France next week to relax after a crazy emotional few months.
I can't believe how obsessive I'm being about this, I'm panicking because of my age but I want this so bad. Can you guys recommend anything or just offer an ear so that I can vent a little with people in a similar situation x

Hi guys, me again.
I had reiki on Wednesday, acupuncture yesterday and I'm feeling a little calmer.
I bought some conceive plus gel which I plan to start using.
Im going to try and relax into this process, I know that stress can have such a negative effect on the body. Im looking forward to the little road trip with my partner to France next week, will be taking the supplements and gel with me and plan to relax and recover.
Im going to use this thread as a little journal for myself.
I wish everyone who is trying to conceive lots of sticky baby dust x

Sorry for your loss and good luck with TTC. I'm 39 and will be trying for number three next year. Its exciting but so scary thinking it might be difficult.

Enjoy your holiday!

Hi pmtqueen,
I’m in a similar position. I have 2 girls (aged 5 and 3) and have realised I really want a third. Also freaking out about my age. Am 40 but will be 41 in 2 months. Also just started trying and driving myself mad with reading and on loads of supplements,
Enjoy your road trip to France. I’m sure you’re right that relaxing is an important part of the process. Wishing you lots of baby dust!

These are literally my words “can't believe how obsessive I'm being about this, I'm panicking because of my age but I want this so bad”. I’m feeling stressed about it and probably an acupuncture will be my next step.

I turned 40 this year and have been TTC number 2. I've had two MMC in the last 6 months which has been heartbreaking. Gonna try again soon. I've started some supplements and may try some progesterone cream. I am obsessing too! I really want to relax but it's so hard. My first pregnancy was a dream.

Sorry for your loss. I hope the trip next week is going to help you relax a bit more and start ttc again. Have you decided if you're going to try alone or with a clinic?

Gonna try alone again this time. Fingers crossed xx
