Trying to conceive baby No 1 over 40

[October1979]

I am 40 nearly 41 and ttc baby no1. I fell pregnant for the first time in December but suffered a missed miscarriage at 8 1/2 weeks in February. I've been trying ever since with no luck. I use Clearblue advanced fertility monitor. Take vitamin B, C and Co Q10 as well as pre conception tablets daily. Until lockdown I did weekly acupuncture. I guess I'm feeling low as af turned up today and I turn 41 very soon.

I am usually positive and hopeful. Trying to think what's for me won't go past me...

Looking for some buddies in the same boat or some over 40s who conceived naturally to give me hope and share their secret to success.

Congratulations @Miller2021!

@JaffaCake123 @soontobeamama Thank you! I've read the other posts on this thread enough to know not to get too excited too soon, and I intend to just keep testing once a day and see how it goes. But I was absolutely astonished to see a line this morning - I didn't get a real peak on any OPKs this month so was really not expecting anything. I'm still so shocked.

Hi @Miller2021 - I will keep everything crossed for you that it sticks! Seeing positives really does give me hope as well, so I'm rooting for you! xx

Congrats @Miller2021!!

@Geriatric1234 Thank you, will move over!

I'm new to the page and just thought I'd add I'm just 41 I am very fortunate I already have 2 children and hope I'm not overstepping by commenting in this group. My hubby and I decided we wanted to add at least one more to our brood but I've recently had my 2nd miscarriage. It's hard but I'm determined and at mo I'm still sticking true to the belief and saying that age is just being a number altho after this last miscarriage I am becoming sceptical - it's hard going but really helpful to hear all types of stories and experiences - thankyou for sharing

I started taking levo, prescribed by my GP. It took one cycle to fall pregnant after giving the levo 10 to 12 weeks to work.

Hi am interested in levo is this available on the NHS? I have been TTC baby number 3 for over a year now and nothing following a miscarriage in March 2020. I went to my GP was given 1 round of blood tests apparently as still ovulating. Was then offered no other help and was basically told I should be happy with what we have. Of course I'm immensely greatful for my two lovely children but longing for another so much the feeling just won't go away. I have tried everything including the clear blue fertility monitor and pressed. I have my AMH levels done in Jan this year they were 4.9 apparently normal for my age. I had an initial consultation for IVF but my husband won't agree with this route am getting desperate here. Any other suggestions am taking ore conception vitamins, omega 3 and ubiquinol 300mg. Is there anything more that I can ask my GP for?

Here is a new thread for us to swap over to. Our current one will run out when we reach 1000 posts
