Over 40 ttc - Autumn baby dust for me!

I've just read that you should have sec every other day all month long for best chances.... omg I can barely cope with EOD during fertile week nevermind all month long! Maybe another couple of times during month but that's it... have I got it all wrong? That fertile week just knackered me out.
Well done for booking Pink and not putting life on hold, I didn't book kylie because I was so convinced I'd be pregnant, totally missed out... pink is amazing live.

@Chatbash72, I think you definitely have the right plan. This is what I did too, including Take That tickets in late May, standing tickets as well I think.

I like to not put life on hold just in case I fell preg.. but have just booked tickets to see pink in June.. hmmmm if I get a bfp this month I can see the DM headlines now.. older mum gives birth at concert.. 🤣🤣🤣

@Russkispy ginger good with nausea unless you have hg... @weasledee now relax.... 🤣 @Rose68 step away from the internet x

@Rose68 I was taking pregnacare conception and coenzyme q10, although I was only taking the q10 for a few weeks before BFP so not sure it would have had time to make any difference. I switched to pregnacare pregnancy a few days after first BFP when period missed and take that daily with dinner. Also stopped taking the q10 straight away as I read you shouldn't take it while pregnant.
Midwife has told me to go to surgery to pick up prescription for baby aspirin at 12 weeks.

@Floofsquidge, sorry managed a typo in your name above

@Russkispy have you told your clinic how you are feeling? They might have some advice. x

@Russkispy blimey, I was told to avoid it and anything with menthol in it. I used to live on the stuff and haven't drank it for years because of that. So much mixed info out there.

.....thank you Dr Google :
Peppermint tea has a calming and numbing effect, and it has commonly been used to treat several digestive issues such as nausea, diarrhea and flatulence.
(Right up my street! 

@Dinah99 oh bummer! Thought it might help me with feeling sick/nausea! Where's Dr Google....

Or ttc

@Russkispy I don't think peppermint tea is safe to drink when pregnant, I vaguely remember from first time round, I could be wrong x

Sorry about AF @Presh12345.

Thank you for all the messages yesterday! After a very exciting day, I have been brought back to earth with a bump after googling miscarriage rates this morning. I think hubby is going to confiscate all my devices soon.
@Mellongoose and @Floodsquidge what supplements have you been taking? Did you continue with any of the conception supplements? Thank you x

Sorry presh..... :(

So I'm 1DPO and I'm really thinking if this doesn't work then that's it, no pressure then!! 
This month the dtd twice as much as I'm previous months, we're both delighted that we don't have to do it tonight!!! 
Fingers crossed....

@Presh12345 sorry about AF. Hope you'll have a good consultation at the clinic. Good luck!

Diarrhea and sickness in full swing this morning  and I haven't even eaten anything for the past 2 days. Am at work now and drinking peppermint tea. I do not have any explanation for this. Roll on Tuesday so I can test and have answers to it all!

Back to CD1. Appt with fertility clinic tmrw. 😓

I’ll tell you what gets me. The media and some health ‘experts’ talk about fertility as though it suddenly and without warning just drops off a cliff at age 40. As though Mother Nature would be that black and white! That podcast on Fertility Hour I linked to talks about this. They said that because we’re all told this that it sort of becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Congratulations Rose and Critter!!!! Amazing news. I just adore an over 40 bfp. You ladies are awesome. Interesting theory on the Vit D too..... (shuffles off to get the D spray) x

Love prof winston....

Here's optimism for us all, basically Dr Winston says it's exaggerated about fertility problems in women in 40's and we should all have more sex (dear god not more sex ) www.itv.com/thismorning/health/dr-robert-winston-talks-fertility

@Orchid222 , sorry I misunderstood. My doctor suggested IVF first but never said IUI would be a waste. So I she respected my wish. Twice and very lucky it worked from the first try. I know the last one ended up in MMC but still got pregnant. Hopefully third time lucky next week!
@Dinah99 , I was 40 with my first IUI. And am 42 now and had my second successful IUI in May but ended in MMC.

I was thinking about just going for IUI, it's the timing and monitoring that I like the idea of. I'd consider IVF but would be a last resort. Planning on registering with a clinic next month. Will be interesting to hear what they say

Thanks @Russkispy, what age were you when you had successful IUI's my gynaecologist said I'd just be wasting my money, but I wanted to give it a go... x

Congratulations @CritterTamer
