Over 40 ttc - Autumn baby dust for me!

Rose your fsh is very good, I wouldn't argue with that either! They do say it can fluctuate, but usually within a general range, and the fact that I got pregnant a month after getting 18.4 suggests it probably doesn't mean much anyway.
My DHEA arrived today. Too scared to take any yet!!

Hmm123 do you know when you ovulated? Opk's? Temping? Maybe you ovulated late this cycle? So disapointing when we get our hopes up! That happened to me last year

Hi checking in. I've not been on for a while sorry glad to hear of the good news from some of you. .. so I thought I had been incredibly lucky as we dtd once this month and af has gone awol!! Am on cd38 ( normally 25-30 days) but have done 2 preg tests both negative so am now worried it's the menopause! Had something similar last year when Af went missing for a month and finally came on cd47! So confusing as now I also don't know when ( or if) we will get another chance

I am sure everything you have been doing will have bought it down, it might put your mind at rest to get it checked.
I am also having acupuncture, but not herbs... my acupuncturist hasn’t mentioned herbs. I’m a bit confused about my FSH.... I’m not going to argue with it.... but it doesn’t seem right for my age.... and I still can’t get pregnant anyway.

Yeah I have read that about shorter cycles. My LP is shorter but still within range (11 days) but I have never ovulated earlier than day 12 which I hope is a good sign. My ladt FSH was 10 in August last year, then 18.4 in January, then I got pregnant a month after that but mc at 10 weeks. Since then I've been doing accupuncture & herbs and taken a variety of suppliments, so I will be interested to see if it's changed, but I'm terrified it's gone up even more so part of me doesn't want to know!

Hi Cleo, my cycles are still pretty regular, 25/26 day cycles with ovulation always on day 12 or 13. But I have read that it’s not great to have shorter cycles and is a sign of aging.
I don’t think it matters if your cycles are irregular, you are still ovulating which is the important thing.
Good luck with the FSH test, what did you get before? Mine was 6.2.

Welcome evug.

Has anyone else found their ov days irregular since turning 40? Mime can happen any time between cd12 - cd21, it just varies now and I don't know what to expect from one cycle to the next.
I've arranged another FSH test for my next cd3, but not sure I really want to know!!

Flashing smiley yesterday, solid smiley today, BD both days and will do tmrw too. Big sigh.

Thanks Rose68 and Mattsmamma

Welcome @Evug1234

Hi everyone.... I have been following this forum for long. I just turned 40 and have been TTC DC3 for past 2 years.My first 2 conceptions were a success in the first cycle itself , so I was flabbergasted that this time it was such a task.I started taking moringa olifera tablets 4 months back as I did not want to take synthetic supplements.l am 15 dpo right now and no sign of AF but very scared to test

Checking in!

Had a quick read back, Critter great that everything is sounding positive. Fingers crossed for you! I'm so impressed you lost 3st since May! I'm back on the keto to see if it helps, I didn't want to go full diet mode but I'm wondering if I'll have to to try and make this work. I did manage 3st in 6 months before but it all went back on again. I have just managed to lose 1st since summer though.

CD2 today, had a weird 23 day cycle which is now starting to freak me out that something is wrong. Would explain why I thought I ovulated early. I also said that I would seek help when it came to cycle 7 but I'm too afraid to. Gonna try for another month at least.

Yay! I found you!

In answer to your alcohol question. No I didn't give it up completely. I would have a glass of red to help relax in the evening. Not every day but 2-3 times a week. No more than one.

Since getting the BFP I haven't liked the taste. Which is good!!

Me too
