Over 40 TTC - lots of baby dust for us...3!

[SparrowSG]

New thread for us 40+'s

Thanking you @Chatbash72..Oh gosh...i have not been taking anything at all.....could this be the reason why im not conceiving? x

@Kimm123 pre Natels don't guarantee a conception sadly.. I wish.. I'm just trying to keep my eggs fresh 🤣🤣 I'm mega old

@EllieJaye sorry to hear that. Spend some time with your kids, have some time off work?

Kids are therapeutic- do you have boys or girls?

For me I'm going to continue, not sure what oh thinks yet, but I'm gonna keep trying to get the right egg at the moment.

I've been through worse, but no matter how mentally prepared you are or thought you were it still hurts doesn't it?

@Chatbash72....ur never too old for anything...i had a friend who took pregnacare for couple months and she concieved.....i mean i was taking it before but just got fed up...taking it and not getting pregnant 😂😂😂😂😂. So i stopped cuz pregnacare is not cheap....i might start again once i start reflexology....have u tried reflexology?? Apparently it has good reviews....xx

Hugs for ellie and ruby

I finally got a static smiley on opks today. One way or another, this cycle will end. CD 39 today.

@Kimm123 🤣 I know I'm not too old if liz Earle and Mrs Daniel Craig can pop them out.. we are on the dtd anytime we feel like it, contraceptive free method.. haven't tried reflexology yet as hubs has just started a new job and my work has had to go to weekends, so we are just juggling and adjusting to new wages etc but will deffo treat myself to that an some acupuncture after the summer hols x

That would be amazing Kimm!

@EllieJaye so sorry to read your news. Look after yourself

Ruby & Ellie - sorry things did not work out for you. Nature can be so cruel. It always frustrates me how we are so fertile in our teenage years and early 20's when we are still pretty much children ourselves and would not cipe, but yet in our 40's we are stable, secure, mature and ready, but nature says it's too late.

@evelineUK - I got my peak on my eveline opk on cd13 (a lovely strong peak too!) and my temp rose on cd16. This is quite normal for me these days, but out of curiosity, do you think it's normal to ovulate 3 days after peak? Do you think that is really the case, or could I have ovulated earlier but for some reason my temp does not rise srraight away? I I also had creamy type cm on the day of peak, which could suggest tgat?

Thankyou evelineUK. Does ovulation usually occur nearer to the LH and the temp takes 2-3 days to rise after or do you think the temp starts to rise as soon as ovulation has happened? Just trying to work out weather ovulation would have been cd13 (day of peak) cd14, 15 or 16 (day of rise) I think we covered all bases bus as we van only dtd every other day it would be easier if we could pinpoint. FF always assumes it's day of temp rise but that just doesn't seem to fit. Also it would mean that my LP wasn't as short as I thought it wS if ovulation is nearer to LH! Always so confusing!
Love the opk's by the way, the lovely peak alert is very satisfying 😍

Thank you evelineUK, very useful info. We dtd 12, 14 & 16 this cycle so hopefully we have done all we can. After 2 years + trying, we'll take any gender

Hormones shmornones.. I might be in my mid 40's but I feel like I'm in heat... sorry if that's TMI.. 🤣🤣🤣
Deffo ov 👍

@Chatbash72.....well done thats good to hear....get cracking lol xx

Chat..i feel the same. I figure it has to be nature's way of driving you to have one last bash at ttc and then occasionally she'll throw in twins for good measure!
