I just needed to post to see if anyone is in the same boat....

I'm 43...turning 44 in a month! and TTC number 2. Have a beautiful year old DD.

Have been TTC for 5months but no full well time is NOT on my side!

I'm taking pre conception vitamins , I don't drink , good diet etc etc....

That's me.

Anyone else want to join?

@rainyday32 I've heard of a few. I know it's not common but it's not impossible xx

rainyday32 · 24/08/2023 08:18

@Rainbows121 I think I might be out again this month.
I'm 45 now so I'm not holding much hope on TTC number 2 ☺️
I don't know anyone who has had a baby at 45.

Rainbows121 · 23/08/2023 22:38

And into the 2ww I go. Hope everyone is doing ok?

rainyday32 · 19/08/2023 06:16

@Countrygirl777 how are you ? Hope you are ok? Did you get some Clearblue tests?

Need advice ladies, im going out of my mind. So ive been having symptoms for over a week now. Backache, cramps, sore heavy boobs and lots of watery cm. Cervix is high and soft. Im now 2 days late and still getting bfn's. Im honestly so confused right now. My bodys telling me I am but the tests say no. I have none of my usual af symptoms either. Any ideas????

I used to get these symptoms with pcos. Just wait. If you’re pregnant it will reveal itself eventually!

Wenfy · 17/08/2023 16:04

I’m 42 turning 43 in days. I have a 12 yo and a 3 yo. Ttc one more. I’m losing weight in preperation - wishing us all luck

Nikster8012 · 17/08/2023 16:03

@Countrygirl777 the clearblue should be more reliable. Fingers massively crossed. I really hope ita good news. I ovulated on the 6th so I am waiting atm. Due Monday. Hope it doesn't come. No symptoms apart from cramps from 5dpo but that's normal for me.
Fingerscrossed the clear blue will be a BFP !!! It sounds promising but probably need to hold out as you said ovulate late so may have thrown the cycle slightly. Lets hope you get a positive. Would be lovely to hear good stories on the reread. Could help people in the future

Countrygirl777 · 17/08/2023 15:17

@Nikster8012 Thats what I thought but didnt want to get my hopes up. I have been feeling so sick all day today as well.
Ive been using internet cheapies, Boots ultra early and first responce rapid results. Got some clear blue on the way.
Im never late. I nomally have 26 day cycle and track with op and app. This month I ovulated later than normal. I got positive op 3rd Aug so surly somthing would be showing by now. The not knowing is acctully killing. Either AF arrive or give me a bfp just put me out my misery.

Nikster8012 · 17/08/2023 13:00

@Countrygirl777

that sounds suspiciously preggo. What brand of test are you using ?? Internet cheapies may not be able to pick up yet... or maybe you ovulate later the expected. If using a clearblue or first response rhats very weird as they are reliable.

Have you booked the doctor ?? You may want a blood test.

and is being late unusual ? Everyone is different, but sounds like a blood test is needed.

fingerscrossed.... would be totes awesome if you are pregnant. X

Joining, also just turned 45 and TTC number for 2 years...
Grateful for our beautiful DD1
But keeping on going....

Countrygirl777 · 15/08/2023 07:09

@Rainbows121 really? Whats the group name? That definitely sounds hopeful.
Well af is due today. I haven't woke up with the usual headache but I tested and got bfn 😥. Just got to wait for af to show now to begin the whole waiting and hoping. I felt for sure it had happened this month as so many symptoms.

Rainbows121 · 14/08/2023 19:28

@Countrygirl777 I'm on other ttc groups and there are afew women who have fallen pregnant at 46 naturally.

Countrygirl777 · 14/08/2023 18:43

@Nikster8012 I feel you pain. Every month is just an emotional rollercoaster. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Nikster8012 · 14/08/2023 18:03

It's not too late. But I am feeling your pain. 2 years and counting. 45 in October.

Got pregnant on a wink and a smile before. Sucks.
I am due on next week I am having cramps 5dpo onwards, I feel awful. These period type crampsv re probably just progesterone.

Countrygirl777 · 14/08/2023 15:31

@Rainbows121 I really felt hopeful about this month as ive got so many symptoms but just bfn's the last 4 days and im due on tommrow (I know I should resist testing early). I want another baby so badly but im worried ive left it too late.

Rainbows121 · 14/08/2023 13:32

It's so hard @Countrygirl777 but I know that if I was in your position and had fallen pregnant 3 times this year I'd keep trying... but that's me.
I had 2 x MMC before having my son so I just kept on trying.x

Countrygirl777 · 14/08/2023 12:58

Hi all,
Ive been ttc since feb of this year. Have older children from previous marriage never had any problems getting pregnant. Had 3 early miscarriages this year and im fast approaching 45. Due on tomorrow, having all the symptoms but just bfn. Is there any hope or should I just give up ?

Rainbows121 · 12/08/2023 09:13

@rainyday32 yes #2 for me.

I have recently started using opk's. I had resisted before because I thought they might make ttc more stressful but then I thought well every little helps.

@Nikster8012 positive thoughts to you aswell.

rainyday32 · 12/08/2023 04:25

@Nikster8012 thank you so much

@Rainbows121 I'm hoping somebody will see this thread and post they got pregnant in their mid / late 40's naturally and give us a shimmer of hope 😊
Are you TTC for number 2 as well?
Do you use OPKs?
My cycles are pretty regular at 24/25 still....

Nikster8012 · 11/08/2023 13:50

Ps. I CANT Tell you how much good vibes I am sending. I know how hard it gets. Its so so tough. I had failed ivf and all sorts. Stress doesnt help. Big big love ❤️ you are not alone xx

Nikster8012 · 11/08/2023 13:47

I am still trying. 5dpo at rhe moment and month into Chinese herbs and acupuncture haha never guve up !! I am hoping that soon it will happen. Sending big amazing positive vibes. Let us know xxx

Rainbows121 · 11/08/2023 10:38

Hi @rainyday32
This page is over a year old so hopefully someone will post back.

I came across this page while looking for positive news as im 44 next month so thought I'd post to ask.

While there is still a chance even 1% I'm still going to keep trying. My cycle's are still pretty regular so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

rainyday32 · 11/08/2023 08:23

Jumping on too...
I might be the oldest here..45 years..
We have been TTC number 2 for over a year now...no sign.
Had our first when I was 40.

Out this month so focused on next cycle but also in a way have come to the conclusion that it may be way too late..probably 1% which is a massive stretch!
Anyone same age and same situation TTC naturally...
👋

Rainbows121 · 07/08/2023 21:21

BFN today 🥲. Roll on next cycle to try again. Trying to stay positive x
