Ttc at 40!!!

I'm 37 and on 3rd trimester of baby number 2, having had 1st baby at 32. Its very possible :)

Hi ladies got my bfp yesterday at 42. Good luck to all x

40 and ttc post mmc in November. Now on 2WW. But DH was away for a night or 2 that my dates say were high chance.
Not using any tests yet for ovulation but will if no luck in next few cycles. I got pregnant very easily with the one I lost, 1st cycle.

Yes, I had DS at 37, I'm now 40 and in the second trimester with my second. It took me around 4 months to conceive this time round.
All the best to you all!

Just to say, I had ds at 37 and then started trying again when he was 18 months ( advice from midwife due to c section ).

Took over two years and a few chemicals but got pg with ds 3 at 40 and delivered him just before 41st birthday.

I consider myself lucky with that considering I was peri menopausal within a year of having him and in full menopause by about 46.

Good luck to all ttc on here, youngest dc is now 9 and I'm 50 - he keeps me young!

Well girls, AF showed up today, so have been trying the ovulation tests again and I've saw in boots clear blue lubricant so debating on whether to give that a whirl too?

Good luck OP, all you can do is to try to be healthy as possible. I tried ttc over 40, gave up after 3 years but many of my friends have been successful, might new a few attempts though

@IsabelHerna good luck! I know exactly how you're feeling, I really will have everything crossed for you ♥ I'm OK, decided to do a cheap test last night pretty sure it was negative, got the telltale signs of AF starting properly in the next few days, debating on whether to start ovulation testing again and I've seen these clear blue lubricant tubes so don't know whether to get some as well.

Good luck everyone!

@Lauraliverpool and @TTCat40 how are you progressing ladies?

I am officially on a countdown to my ivf, travelling for a fresh cycle in 2 weeks! I am excited and stressed and in general all over the place! Yesterday I started packing... 16 days before my travel!

Whoop I can finally join in ! TTC at 42 (partner is 32) this will be my third child. Elder two are 14 & 17 !!
We did TTC briefly early last year but partner got cold feet and we stopped. I had a miscarriage im dec just gone, but hadn’t realised I was pg. now we are officially TTC and both hearts are in it :) although he’s stating we are having unprotected sex and letting nature take its course not actively ttc lol (!)

Thank you so much for this thread. May I join? Keep positive ladies! x

Thank you @IsabelHerna. I'm about 10dpo and have very similar symptoms last month which led to AF coming (pain in breast, twinges)😫. Praying this time is different.
I went crazy the last couple of months with testing so I'm really holding out this time! ❤️❤️

@IsabelHerna thank you ♥ have a bit of a cold so feeling rubbish. Have started with some backache which I usually get a few days before AF but will see. Hope you're OK. X

@Lauraliverpool and @TTCat40 wishing to both of you good luck in your 2ww. Keeping everything crossed x

How are you feeling so far?

Hi ladies.
I'm TTC #1 and I'll be 41 in June. My partner is 43. Had a chemical pregnancy in November. Been trying for 7 months now. It's been emotionally draining. I'm currently in my 2WW. I'm approximately 6DPO. I don't have any pregnancy tests at home so that's stopping me from testing frantically like I always do lol.

Looking to do IVF if nothing happens by April.

@IsabelHerna well the past few days we've managed so that's something lol. X

I'm 43 and just started my ivf journey. Had my first child at 40 naturally, no issues. conceived at 2nd try! holding my fingers Xed I can have another one despite my age...

@Lauraliverpool lol! fingers crossed nothing else happens these days x

@IsabelHerna you're welcome! Hopefully more times this month, as lately it has always seemed like one thing after an other with hubby, toothache, sore shoulder you name it, he's had it lol!

@Lauraliverpool thank you! As for your question, definitely dtd sounds like an ovulation

@Badhairday101 no worries! I'm surprised you don't hear me rattle with the amount of vitamins I take lol. Thank you, hopefully more chance this month cause lately it always seems to be one thing or another.

@Lauraliverpool thank you! I’d better start stocking up.
To your question yes that’s a good sign that you’re ovulating so definitely DTD over the next few days.

Girls can I ask sorry TMI, but I've noticed clear stretchy CM today, is it good to DTD for the next few days?

@Badhairday101 I've heard CQ10 can help with egg quality, but I know that your eggs are the same age as you are. I'm taking a Probiotic from Holland and Barratt, high dose folic acid, vitamin E, vitamin B6, vitamin C with zinc in, omega fish oil, vitamin D.

@IsabelHerna that's great about starting the ball rolling for ivf! I really hope that it works for you ♥
