TWW at 40 yrs old

Hey, can I join too please? I’m older at 42 though 😬😬 trying for first, had a miscarriage last year and really feel like it’s all against me now. Hope everyone is doing ok today

Hello ladies, hope it's ok to join. I'm 40 (and a half lol)
TTC no 2. I have DS, 7. Been trying for 6 months, no joy yet. I think I'm 1 or 2dpo, but waiting for LH levels to go down, they have been super high this month. Hope everyone is getting on ok! x

5 days post ovulation and time is dragging!

Going away to the Canaries on Saturday to celebrate my 40th and I'm packing some tests in the suitcase!! 😂😂

Sorry about your loss xx

Oh my son is 5 years old, it feels like forever ago I had a baby in my arms lol but fingers crossed I’ve had a lucky month!
happy birthday for a few days time! Hope you’re doing something nice to celebrate 🥳
xx

Can I join you ladies?

Also 40 and TTC. I have a 6 year old and devastatingly had a TFMR last summer at 22 weeks. Last month I had a chemical pregnancy just to add to my anxiety.

I'm currently cd19 but according to OPKs not ovulated just yet. I've never really had much success with them as I seem to always miss the peak but I'm giving them a go again this month.

Keeping everything crossed for everyone

@MrBigsCat missed it then for sure 😂

Ah right. Well the herbs are actually boiled to make tea. Do you know if he sells them where he practises? The lady I see keeps them in massive jars like it’s a sweet shop!! 😂

Welcome @NMB85 oowww 6 months… ha ha. I’m less than a week away from 40 🥴😢 can’t believe it!
Thats brilliant that you have had a child quite recently too. Hopefully you will have a second soon. Sorry to hear about your miscarriage though. Hopefully March/April will be our month!

Waaaay too tempting! 🫣

Im the same I’ve started testing at 6dpo
whey you have cheapies in the house it’s too tempting

Can I join? I’m on I think 5dpo now. I’m 40 in 6 months and have a 5 year old and had a MMC in 2021. Haven’t been in a position where I might fall pregnant since properly until now. I’m obsessively testing with cheapies despite it being way too early 🙈

@BabyBorn just someone being really rude with a pointless post.

yes he’s Chinese but he’s not said anything about supplements or anything.

@Joleyjojo i know your pain just keep busy!!

I haven’t started my period but two pregnancy tests are negative. CD 39 now. Only had a cycle that long once before -
this happened last year. Didn’t have a period for almost three months, got bloods done on the next one which were all normal, then fell pregnant unexpectedly the next cycle which ended in the TFMR.

Now cycles have been all over the place since and now looks like I’m going to have a big gap again. Terrified it’s not going to happen for me at all - or worse, end up in a TFMR again.

I'm just in front @ 4 DPO @Joleyjojo feels like a lifetime doesn't it 🥴

I am 2 DPO and already pulling my hair out 😭😭😭

Did I miss something? 😆😂😂

Ah right. Do you go to a Chinese man? There’s a British guy near me that does it and has good recommendations but I decided to start acupuncture with a Chinese acupuncturist because it’s all she does and she was originally taught in China. I find it all really interesting. Especially the herbs. Are you taking herbs @MrBigsCat or just having the acupuncture?

Why not just scroll past 🤷🏼‍♀️ this is a support thread
no one is going to empathise with someone name calling and swearing at them

Yes @BabyBorn i did I’ve done one session so far and another booked for this week.
he said he has had a lot of success with natural pregnancies.
I think it will be a good few sessions to feel a difference
thats good about your ovulation. I ended up ovulating on day 10 this cycle which feels a bit early! This was before the acupuncture though.

Did you start acupuncture @MrBigsCat? How often do you go and can you feel any difference with anything at all?

I've been doing twice a week but the woman has gone abroad for 3.5 weeks so have only done just over 3 weeks worth and on Chinese herbs too. My ovulation jumped from 16-17 days to 12 this month! Well it was pretty much almost midnight so would have been almost CD 13!

Still 2-3 days to go yet @MrBigsCat. Keep your chin up for now x

I’m bfn at 8dpo today
not feeling hopeful

I think I'm going to be out this month. I'm 13dpo without even a hint of a line on any test I've tried and period is due in the next couple of days. I was super hopeful this month as I was sure I had a load of symptoms but I guess not! So hard not to read into everything isn't it?!

Hello all,

Hope you don't mind me joining the 40 (ish) TWW club here.

Sorry that you got your period OP, it never gets easier does it, like a kick in the ovaries every time. And on to the next month...

I'm 41, with a 3 year old who was conceived very easily. 1.5 years ago I miscarried with a blighted ovum at 11 weeks and my cycles have been irregular ever since. Today is CD 65, and I'm 5/6 dpo after LH surging for 7 days and to top all of that off...this evening I'm spotting pink, watery blood. What in the blimmin heck is going on I don't know, but I'm waiting a few days to test....

I hope we all get what we desire so much 🙏🏻

Sorry op that you are feeling down
its a horrible feeling thinking it may not happen
im trying acupuncture this week and going to do a few months and see if that does anything to help
im CD10 here so nearly at ovulation I think
