Over 40 TTC 2022 group

@Orangutanteddy are you taking supplements? I seem to be having a problem getting them to stick.

Good luck to everyone hope to hear good news, nice to find others in the same boat and trying a little older, would love to hear lots of success stories

Awww how lovely to have a DD also 3, nice to see some BFP.
Me and my partner of 10 years are only just trying recently (last year or so) I do have 2 older boys and I've just got AF today so will be trying again soon, taking lots of supplements and tracking ovulation x

I lie - I did have one early miscarriage but that was it.

@Cally1980 @DizzyM43 me too!

Where is everyone at?

I'm on the dreaded two week wait until I find out if AF makes an appearance.....or not

Other than that , 43 - trying for number 2. DD1 is 3.

X

I'm 41. Have an 8 year old. Just never fell again. Did tests although in hindsight I waited around too long for them. Slightly low amh but other than that nothing wrong. IVF too expensive for us and I'm not prepared to go into debt for something that might not happen. Still have a slight sliver of hope but mostly I've given up.

Can I please join? I'm 43 🙈 and TTC last chance I think, had 2 mm last year x

I’m still here!

I'd this thread still active please?

Hello!
I'd like to join pls
I'm just turned 40, Have an 18yo and DH has two teens. We would like one together.
Last year DH completed chemo for cancer and is now in complete remission (🎉)
He gave a semen deposit before starting chemo which yielded 8 vials of swimmers
We are both going for a fertility MOT next month (earliest appt), it's highly unlikely DH will be fertile anymore after the chemo but there is a slight possibility.
Personally, I'm concerned for my own fertility as before DH became ill we had been having unprotected regular sex for around 10 months that and I didn't fall. I hadn't ever tracked cycles that seriously though.

Anyways, will see what the MOT comes how tog

41yr here, tww for first attempt at first pregnancy. Currently 4dpo I think? Maybe 5 I’m a little unsure! No symptoms so far, breasts feel more like they are ‘there’ if that makes sense but could be progesterone. Lol. Expecting at the very least a year of trying if it’s at all possible.
Good luck everyone 🤞🏼

Hi @oxfordinwinter85 I am fine over here. No symptoms at all at 4+4. Fingers crossed for you x

How are you going @Sunnierdays7 ?
That's fantastic news!

Still awaiting here....it's 7 days until AF will probably appear.

I've been getting a bit of a headache last few days and a tight feeling in right side. But could be AF symptoms.

Oh this is just such a shit wait
Could it also be menopause!!!

Thank you x

Keep believing 🍀

@Sunnierdays7 congratulations!!! That helps keep my hope alive.

Hi ladies never give up hope. 42 and got my bfp today. Sending baby dust x

@oxfordinwinter85 are they strip tests? If so I believe the best time is late afternoon (around 4 or 5pm) as that is the best time to pick up the surge. Although you could do them morning and afternoon just to be sure that you don't miss it as it can be quite quick.

I'm out this month, AF just showed up

Also I'm using the ovulation"Freedom" packs....

Has anyone ever got the two lines on ovulation packs?

Is it best to test in first wee when you wake up in the morning?

Honestly can never get these ovulation packs!

Didn't ever get a line before we conceived DD1 🤷🏻‍♀️

So tracking my ECMW and it's a little sticky sort or like egg white, but only CD7 / CD8 ...I'm wondering if it really is egg white and more the pre stage to that.
My cycles are average 26 days.
Anyway we DTD on CD7. And I think may have to go for it the next few days..

Tracking temp and it's 35.9 each morning since AF finished.

Any tips or insights?
This is trying for number 2
Have a beautiful DD1

Blessings to all 🐞

Well finally got my peak. Last month I got in on CD 12 now its CD 14. I keep wondering if taking coQ10 has been behind it. Though I've been taking for under 2 weeks so possibly not. I do go to the gym so maybe any weight loss affects it too.

I did hear that taking ibuprofen may or may not have an effect. So I'm trying to stick to paracetamol whenever I need a pain killer. Though when AF comes it's not as effective.

Hi I would love to join this group. I am 42 ttc number 3. I thought I was of last month so many signs but nope! X

@Lemonbell it's funny you say you went on ewcm... as I am thinking the app I'm referring to is also predicting wrong ovulation time.

I notice about three days after period ends..watery discharge....I'm assuming this is the start?

I'm going to record ewcm with the app and see.

Although with the last AF I'm kind of thinking my chances are quite low...I'm 43. So...

[quote TTCafterIVF]@Thatusername I've been using them. The high days do seem to vary from month to month and I think the instructions say up to 9 days of high is ok. I think I had 5 high days before peak last month and 4 this month so it does vary[/quote]
I won't worry too much then. Thanks
