41 and still trying! Any joiners

@EnnaMc I’m so sorry you are having to deal with that!! We’re always here if you need to talk.

Just starting this month’s TWW, anyone else? I’m really wanting to focus on losing some weight the next couple of months, and exercising a bit more (I do an hour most days, would like to up that to two), so I feel like I’ve tried my very very best…does that sound daft? I know the chances are slim at 43 but maybe just maybe. Sending positive thoughts to you all.

Hi can I join? I'm 39 and trying to conceive 2nd child. DS is 12 and I've been trying 5 months now. I concieved DS quickly so I'm struggling this time although I do appreciate I was 26. I was on the mini pill for over 12 years before trying to conceive this time. I'm booked in for day 2 and 21 blood tests next month to get the ball rolling. I've never felt so all consumed by something. Sending baby dust to all

I think I'm going to cave and test at 9DPO!
All our family has just arrived to stay for Xmas and soon the drinking will begin so I would rather know if I need to be sensible or not.

I'll update once I have tested (it's currently middle of the night where I am so I'll wait till I get up in the morning)

Has anyone else tested yet or getting close to it?

hello, I’m joining, too.
i’ve been trying for the second over 2 years now although with gaps, but still nothing.
not holding too much hope anymore. But still want to believe in miracles..

I use cheap ovulation sticks from amazon then when I see the two lines I do a test with the more expensive clearblue ones. I track my period on an app too but my ovulation is always later than that predicts. The best method is to have sex every 2 days then you don't have to track but that's too much for me 😂

@EnnaMc Thats dreadful! Hope you are OK

Oh @EnnaMc I'm so sorry, that sounds awful. What a bastard! Hope you are ok

Well in a bizarre twist of fate, I'm going now be hoping I don't become pregnant after learning that my partner is a compulsive liar and cheat (always knew about the lying bit, clearly buried my head in the sand about the other).
So, good luck to you all, I'm out of the game now, which is a tiny relief to be honest.

Happy Christmas x

@Wait2see2 just wondering how you track your ovulation?
Hope it's a good month for you too 😊

Fingers crossed for you x

Fingers crossed xx

I'm so happy today I am ovulating. I thought I had missed it this month due to a bad cold so I am pleased I at least get a chance to try before Xmas. Good luck to everyone else trying.

meetmeinthespring baby is 10 months, but won’t take a bottle. If she did I’d be weaning but since she won’t I do think formula/ breastmilk is nutritionally important until they are 1 at least so it’s not that straightforward. If we were definitely going for another one I’d ask the gp but Dh and I haven’t had the conversation, there’s a good chance he is 1000% done, no typo 😁

I'm imagining a lot too...well hopefully not imagining of course!

Main thing is being super emotional, to the point it's funny. I can't hold a conversation about anything significant without weeping. This is always a big sign for me in the past.

Boobs also feel slightly tingly 🤞🏻

I was planning on waiting till after Xmas to text but now I think I'll text on the morning of the 25th

How's everyone doing?
This final TWW of 2022 is doing me in. Over analysing every single possible symptom, definitely just making stuff up 😭

I am looking forward to seeing lots of positive tests on here for Xmas x

@Ninjajay thank you! I know from reading on here we aren’t completely out of all hope but Google tells us otherwise!! Xx

@Wait2see2 @Jomummy1013 hello and welcome! Sorry for your loss it's so hard and horrendous to go through x

Hi please can I join? I was 41 in September and TTC number 4. Have 3 children aged 12, 9 and 7. Have never had trouble falling pregnant and my eldest was conceived in first month trying and my 9 year old second month. My youngest was not planned and was conceived after one time. I am not with their father anymore and with a new partner. Had a miscarriage at 10 weeks back in March and had RPOC - had a hysteroscopy in June as my body thought it was still pregnant and it was horrendous :(
Taken a few months for my body to get back to normal. Am now using OPKs as my partner works away and I am 41….not fallen yet but am only on second month trying. Didn’t give it much of a go last month but have tried my best this month.
I am not holding out much hope. Convinced because of my age I am out of luck but really want a 4th. Period due on 29th Dec. If no luck going to give it a break for January. Anyway - it’s nice to see others in my situation ❤️

Can I join? I am 41 and have a 4 year old. I had a miscarriage this time last year which stopped my period for months afterwards so I am only just trying again. I'm so glad I found people my age as I feel so old to be TTC.

Thank you good luck x

I'm due Christmas day, like you, I'm hoping for a little Christmas miracle.
Sorry for your previous loss, fingers crossed for you x

I'm just crossing my fingers that when AF is due on Christmas Day, that actually, I get the best Christmas gift ever and she doesn't show.

I'm trying to not stress as much and have come to terms a little with the fact it may not happen. Unfortunately though, it was be the end of my relationship too though, so will be a double whammy.

I think I've got a couple more months left in me for trying then I need to look at what my next chapter may be x

Hi everyone I am 5 dpo today. Af due 27/12 but going to test 24th as would love to get a bfp for Xmas day.
I was last pregnant in April but sanely ended in loss at 6 weeks. Feels like a miracle if it were to happen again but I’m praying. Good luck to all xxx
