Losing hope, anyone else 40+

Well ladies as the title says I am 41 and am seriously losing hope.
I have tried and failed for over 6 cycles now, I know some are trying a lot longer but I feel time is very much not on my side.
I got pregnant ridiculously easy in my 20s, once even on the pill. Twice from only BD once that month.
I have tried vitex, soya isoflavones, vitamin b complex, macca and a list of other supplements/vitamins. I have had accupuncture, I track my cycle religiously. We BD all the "right" days.
I had one BFP in March, very light but started my AF that evening so I don't know whether it was chemical or just a dud test.
Every month I am so hopeful, this month I had serious nausea from 7 dpo even throwing up. Then food aversions and off my coffee. I was quietly excited. But last night 4 days before AF is due I spotted a little as normal. I could have cried. But I am just too numb. Tested this morn at 10 dpo with a 10mui IC and BFN, not even a hint of a line
Partner is one of those if it's meant to be it will be type of people so fertility testing or treatment is not an option.
I am devastated. I really thought this was my month 😭😭

Any success stories from over 40s or anything else i should be trying??

Have you used hertility health ?

150 gbp

Tests bloods day 3

Looks at your amh // ovarian reserve
And many other things

I highly recommend

I know you talked about your partner and said fertility testing not an option ( for him )
But you could use HH

Its also good to get NHS gp to test your b12 - vit d and feretin
Good in all 3 are needed
