@CherylPorter350 will it be your first together with your partner?

[quote Trying81]@cakedelight77 been off the pill for 3 years, but this is the first month of using ovulation sticks etc

Got 2 stepkids

@daisyintheclouds I feel the same, I do seem to be ovulating now - I didn’t for quite a while after coming off the pill. Trying not to get hopes up too much, and I think our families might think we’re crazy at our age Grin[/quote]
I'm pretty sure our family will think we're bonkers...my oldest is 22 😳

@EishetChayil welcome and here's hoping 🤞

I'm glad that I'm not the only one trying over 40.

Second baby for us too

We have a 3 year old.

Although I think I'm the oldest here - 43

Hi all! Can I join?

I'll be 41 in March this year. Currently TTC #2. I have a 16-month-old DD, and we've been trying since she turned 1 in September.

I was planning to avoid tracking and testing this month, but I've caved and started OPKs. I think my peak will come tomorrow.

@daisyintheclouds @Trying81 here is hoping!
How long have you been trying for?

We have been 3 months now ..so early days still.

I've tried ovulation clearblue ovulation packs but with no sucess but willing to give a different type a go..

Hi, im 41...DH is having a vasectomy reversal in a few weeks so I'm hoping for a 2022 BFP. I have 3 older children and 2 older step children

daisyintheclouds · 09/01/2022 11:53

I'm 42 and it's first cycle TTC for me. Bit worried I've left it too late but trying to be pragmatic. Wishing you both all the best.
