@October1979 OMG thats amazing news!!! Really really please for you and keeping everything crossed. 3 babies, how wonderful!!!

Thanks

@traceyann44 for egg quality it's co-q10 ubiquinol is the best knots absorbable version. Sorry af arrived for you, Our bodies do sometimes try to trick us!

This is actually an old thread, if you look for trying to conceive over 40 part 2 everyone is over there now

Okay so what I thought was implantation bleeding I started spotting 6 days before af it started off like pink /red for 2 days just when i wiped in on day 3 now and it’s more of a flow I have tested and it’s negative I am also cramping like I would normally on my period how is this possible to be 6 days early for af I’ve never in my life been this early which why it made me think it was implantation bleeding… I’ll
Wait for the bleeding to stop and yhen do a test and if that’s negative I’ll
Assume it was early af .I’m so confused right now nothing adds up .

We did think about IVF but my husband has brought my 3 girls up like his own and says he would be over the moon if we had one of our own but he is happy either way which is nice to hear but still dosnt stop that feeling of I would like him to have his own child ….

I’m excerising and need to loose at least 1 stone I know it’s not much but I’m doing it for me … what are you taking to help egg quality if you don’t mind me asking .

All the best and let’s hope you don’t need IVF and it happens naturally for you .

@traceyann44 fair enough! I'm going to start looking into ivf abroad by the end of this year if we've still have no luck and failing that adoption but I'm hoping getting my weight down and adding extra protein to my diet as well as the good supplements will help egg health 🤞🏻

Hey thank you so much so sorry for your loss to yes we had all fertility testing done scans on my ovaries every blood test I could think of genetics chromosomes karyotype everything all come back normal my husband don’t have children of his own he also had blood tests done and sperm checked he was fine too we saw a second fertility doctor and all he said was there’s no reason for your 3 losses your both healthy and it’s just bad luck and to carry on trying .

I did have a chemical pregnancy last September but were at the point of if it happens it happens there’s nothing more can be done and we Carnt afford IVF and we don’t want donor eggs so I’m stuck really but I’m leaving it to fate see where that takes us x

@traceyann44 hi and welcome, sorry to hear if your losses, definitely no judgement here! I will be 43 in a couple of weeks and been ttc for 4 years, had a mc 5 years ago and no success other than that! I have two children from my previous relationship and so does my partner but none together. We have had pretty much every test there is and no explanation though I do have adenomyosis and probably endometriosis as well. So hoping to get a laparoscopy or at least hycosy to see if they help. Have you had tests with your doc?

Spelling is terrible it’s really early in the morning 😂 tried editing but new to this

Hi all please no judgment here I’m a healthy 50 year old periods are regular and some of you I know what your all going to say I’ve heard it a thousand times but I have been ttc a successful pregnancy for 17 yrs I’ve have lost 3 baby angels but do have 3 beautiful daughters from a previous relationship.

I lost my first baby Angel at 33 years old and was told by my fertility doctor it’s my age bill shit it’s got nothing to do with age it’s your eggs although I’m still ttc I know my eggs are not that great at my age but some women I know have had healthy pregnancies at 40 and over .

Is there anyone here in smokier situation.

@Momddun yes that's right

You mean between 40-44 getting baby naturally??

Thank you very much for your words and help ... you will not know what they meant to me🤗

@Momddun hi and welcome, it's totally possible! I've seen a fair few people in this thread get pregnant and know of a couple of people my age who also are. This is the end of an old thread here, if you look a few comments back there's a link to the new thread 😊

Sorry to hear about the last couple of days @ponymum1980 hope everything turns out to be ok for you. Try and rest as much as you can.

@Peaceandcalm hello there, thanks for sharing your story and congrats on the pregnancy! Sounds like you are in control of things and know how to keep yourself calm. I lost my second at 8 weeks and it was so tough. If I conceive again I think I'll find it very hard not to constantly worry. Hope it's a healthy & happy pregnancy for you :-)

Oh @ponymum1980 I really hope it’s all ok. I know I found the symptoms came and went early on. I also had some quite painful cramping, no spotting but lots of pressure in my pelvis. Fingers crossed for you. Xx

Yesterday was a rollercoaster between being very calm and philosophical and crying on the kitchen floor. No cramping or spotting since Friday but also no pregnancy symptoms apart from slightly sore boobs and my energy levels were up to preconception levels. But by yesterday afternoon boobs were getting sorer and I was needing to drink a bit more and tiredness hit like a wall, and overnight and this morning I've needed to drink and pee more again and have been feeling hormonal and sick and the symptoms seem to be back. Hoping we might not be out of the game yet, but we'll see. My partner's dropped off at work and the horse is fed so I'm heading back to bed to nap if I can.

@ponymum1980 so sorry to hear that you have had a bit of spotting and all fingers crossed for you that the little bean is holding on tight! sounds like it may be a bit early to go to the EPU for a scan? thinking of you - the not knowing is so difficult and glad you are being gentle with yourself.

@Peaceandcalm hello! congratulations on your pregnancy and totally understandable to be anxious, but all fingers crossed that this one holds!
