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.

@TiniestClanger welcome. How are you getting on?

I'm 44, TTC number 2.
Have a DD, aged 3.

I'm using OPK's. Clearblue digital ones.
TTC number 2. My DD is 3.
I also have shorter cycles now, 25 but regular.

Ovulate around day 12.

It took 7 months to conceive DD1. I was using OPK's then but never got a positive reading!!
It's just all so random and incredibly frustrating!!
We have been trying for 9 months now..

@appleaday12 Yes, Im using OPKs and seem to be ovulating around day 10. My cycles have shortened to about 24 days, although are fairly regular with that pattern, and people do still seem to be able to conceive with short cycles.

How about you?

@MichelleScarn sending you love. It is so hard.
Are you TTC your first?

MichelleScarn · 02/08/2022 23:04

Secondary infertility is huge here and really struggling too.

41 eventually built self up to ttc again after miscarriage last year, struggling v much not to test daily despite 10 days till next period due.

@ThePlantPerson are you using OPKs ?
Temping or know when you ovulate?

Sorry - missed the 44 part of the title!

41 and just starting TTC for the first time (was impossible before for health reasons). Thanks for starting this thread!

Hi there. I am in a similar situation. I am 44.5 and ttc number 1 for around 2 years. We had a mcc at 8 weeks last year, and nothing since then. I was taking Chinese herbs before getting pg last year, and have started taking them again, and COQ10, but just about to try Impryl (and stop CoQ10) at the suggestion of my NHS fertility consultant.
