41 and still trying! Any joiners

@ohblahdeeohblahdahlifegoeson Sorry to hear that .
Ive also just had a chemical. Seeing that second line not progressing and just getting fainter and fainter is heartbreaking.
We've waited 17 years for that miracle that happen 😢
Did you experience any bleeding?
I bled on the day we found out and it's now day 10 of very heavy bleeding 😴

@EnnaMc hi lovely just lurking (sorry) but yep that's literally my only symptom. I'm 41 in May have 3 DC and am currently 9dpo. I have lower back pain so probably out this cycle but the mood swings of pms have stayed away🤷‍♀️

Hi all.
Hope everyone's okay?
I posted before Christmas to say I won't be trying anymore because I found out my partner cheated 😡

Anyway, I had a moment of weakness when he popped round after Christmas. I'm now back in the turmoil of TWW (day 20) - I realise I have no PMS symptoms at all like I usually do.

Has anyone found a lack of pms was a sign of bfp ? Could it be I just didn't ovulate due to the stress of everything that happened?

Does anyone have any experiences to share please? x

I just take Thorne B vitamin complex, 5mg of folic acid and vit D. I also take ubiqinolol recommended by fertility clinic when I had tests. It apparently can help egg quality. The pre natal vitamins messed up my cycle so much.

@Krakenes would also be keen to know of any supplements people recommend...

Also if better success taking just certain seperate ones rather than the pre natal all in one packs

Hi all I'm back on the TWW. This is our 4th cycle trying and unfortunately my hub had covid when I was ovulating so we only DTD once. It'll be a miracle if we conceive this time but I can't help that glimmer of hope that's there. Definitely getting some tests next cycle though. Cannot face a year of this rollercoaster without at least knowing where we stand

Hi! Can I join?! Am 41 this year, have a 20m old after 4 miscarriages previously. Also had an ectopic earlier in the year so had to wait it out after the injection. Don’t think we covered it this month as only had sex once over the fertile period due to illness etc. My cycles are usually 28, but have been a bit up and down. Only been using an app, not temp tracking or sticks, so not sure if ovulating times are very accurate. Have been taking Folic and Vit D just in case! Are there any other supplements people recommend?

@Wait2see2 oh god I hope not! Keep us posted.

I'm 10dpo I think. Pretty sure another unsuccessful cycle 🙄

I'm on day 40 of my cycle now and only had slight spotting the last 3 days I'm wondering if this is the start of menopause??😭

@BecauseICan22 I just picked one that had good reviews in my area. Follicular stimulating Hormone, what stimulates the follicles to grow in ovaries.

Good morning, if you don't mind me asking, how did you pick which private fertility clinic to go to?

And what is FSH? Sorry for the questions, I'm 42 and have been TTC with my DH since last February. In 2022 we suffered 4 consecutive losses. I too have been referred to the miscarriage clinic, had a phone consultation and the next step is blood tests.

I hope things are going well for you.

Congrats @Jomummy1013
I am now on day 37 of my cycle but have tested lots and all negative. Never had a cycle this long before though I ovulated on day 23 so it has been a strange month.

Happy new year everyone! Fingers crossed 2023 brings a baby eh 🥰

Thank you all. Tbh I had an inkling I was for the last few days but I don't like early testing as I had a chemical before and I don't like squinting to see a line but it did take restraint! Worst part is I broke up with my partner over Xmas. I'm amazed it happened so quickly and I am blessed. If all goes well, it'll be due in September, just before my 42nd birthday. I will
Keep looking at this thread and I am sure many of you will be in this position too xxx thank you for your kind words xx

@Jomummy1013 congratulations that's amazing news. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy x

@Jomummy1013 congratulations 🥳 !!

@Jomummy1013 congratulations 🥳

Hi. I did post earlier on this thread, I am 41 and my period was due yesterday. Today, I got a positive test. I waited until day after period was due. I am very apprehensive as had a miscarriage in March..but this was a result of my first month using OPKs properly. Hope this gives you all some hope xx

Feeling poorly is so rubbish especially when needing to be well on certain days😩Sorry you're unwell. I'm in the TWW currently and as usual I'm symptom spotting constantly and trying not to get my hopes up.

@ohblahdeeohblahdahlifegoeson I'm sorry, I don't have any experience. With my chemical my lines were a fair bit stronger than yours even after my period. It was all very strange. Fingers crossed they get stronger for you.

@meetmeinthespring I just use good old vitamin B complex and ubiqinolol. Any prenatal vitamins make my cycle go wonky for some reason.

My so called fertile period has been over Xmas! I think I have ovulated and managed to have sex a few times despite wanting to pass out asleep. It's so busy and exhausting isn't it.

Hope everyone has managed to have a bit of mental relief for TTC over Xmas, I know it's so hard to switch off

@Luckystar7jf I'm taking Blackmores Conceive Well Gold. Two tablets a day.
Have no idea if these are enough....
Anyone over 44 had any success with these?
I think we tell ourselves it can't help...🤷🏻‍♀️

Happy holidays everyone x

Looks like I'm having another chemical this month. I knew I was pregnant before I even got the positive test and was hoping this month it would stick but the lines aren't increasing in color unfortunately :(

I've got the eggs but the quality isn't good!

If anyone has any positive stories about slow rising HCG please feel free to share them!

Today is 13DPO

I’m out period started yesterday 3 days early only 24 day cycle. Decided to start taking ubiquinol and seven seas x

@RobotRumpus Hi, I'm 43 and ttc #2. I'm hoping that with regular periods and ovulating that im still in with a chance. I have also started to have acupuncture this month to try help my chances 😀

@RobotRumpus @Janes76 @ohblahdeeohblahdahlifegoeson @GingerFox2021 @Wait2see2 @lizziecat1 @Ninjajay @EnnaMc @deeperthanallroses @Luckystar7jf

Just seeing how everybody is going. Hope you had a nice Christmas.

Unfortunately our plans for trying this December have been scuppered by catching the awful virus doing the rounds at the moment ...past ovulation now ...only just starting to feel better.

Oh well onwards!
