Over 40 ttc - winter baby dust for me!

[Orchid222]

Here's our new thread ladies.

@rose68, @Cleo and @littlemimosa thanks for your reassurance on fsh. I did it on day 4, as per the doctors instructions. Apparently should be days 1-3? Can't believe a day would make any difference. Will try to get it done again

@critter please try to rest and relax - that's the absolute best thing you can do for you and the bubs.

@sparrow that's great news. Maybe it happened because you stopped thinking about it? Amazing news though.

Someone asked if anyone is ttc and perimenopausal - i think I am....

Congratulations Sparrow. Lovely to hear of bfps on here.
Im now CD 26 (my average as past few months) Ive had such bad lower back pain, poking and pulling pains in my pelvic region and am very tired. I know AF is imminent but am still holding out a bit of hope.
Has anyone else who has had a mc had trouble with cyclical backache. My af symptoms used to be proper stomach and leg aches, now I seem to get back ache.

@minime I got quite bad lower back pain a couple of weeks before my mc, and I have had lower back pain after ovulation this cycle. I’m not sure what it means x

Hi little im ok!
Not ttc now for 2 months and I've been ok with it really. Keep thinking if I change my mind I can still try.... its helpful to not make a "thats it no more trying decision"
I had to go to hospital for a check for ovarian cancer (all fine just super conscious GP) so I asked lady how my insides looked and she said fine!! No signs of menopause type shrinking of the ovaries etc... this was good to hear inside we did decide to have another try.....

We need a new thread... anyone know how to set one up?

Taxgirl - so frustrating isn't it!! Although I find now that I worry more about my body doing the right thing than I do about actually getting a bfp...
I'd love to feel relaxed again that it was at least trying.
Do you think you ovulated this cycle? Could your cm and cramping have been ov? Or was it after like mine?
Minime - fingers crossed for you this cycle!
Weasle - shrinking of the ovaries?!
