Been trying for another for a few years with losses. Hoping this is my year as I've extended my cut off so many times and if it doesn't happen this year I really need to move on with my life.

Anyone want to join me?

Me please.

I'll be 44 at the end of the month. Been TTC#1 for the last couple of years. Giving up hope tbh. Had a very early miscarriage last April. Really hoping it happens for me.

Hi ladies. I'm turning 44 in March and hoping for a second child.

We're already IVFers with significant fertility issues besides age so I must be crackers!!! We were meant to start a fresh cycle a few days ago but got hit by some poor results from DP so now we have a whole lot more issues to overcome before we can even start.

Let's hope 2021 brings good things for us all xxx

Janefx40 · 01/01/2021 13:42

@bitheby and @believingitmighthaooen I'm sorry for your losses. I had a loss in August too. 💐💐💐

courtrai · 01/01/2021 13:53

Me please! 42 with an 18 and 15 y/o (am I mad??) with ex husband. DP hasn't never had DC and I would dearly love him to be a dad. 8 months after mirena out nothing has happened as yet...☹️

timeforanother1 · 01/01/2021 16:35

Can I please join?

timeforanother1 · 01/01/2021 16:44

Ha hadn't finished.

I'm 40 and ttc my second.

Idreamof2more · 01/01/2021 16:56

Can I please almost 41 In few weeks ttc no. Few loses last one March and surgical term in May nothing since trying in August

believingitmighthaooen · 03/01/2021 09:29

Hello ladies. Thanks for joining. Let's hope this is a positive thread!

I think I'm already out this month as am on cd21 and haven't had a positive opk but I've had strange cycles since my last loss in September. I'm taking ubiquinol and vits and going to try and cut down unhealthy eating and drinking after the excesses of Xmas. Fingers crossed for next month

Hi, can I join you, I'm 40 and ttc my second. DS is 14 months but my ovaries are prone to dermoid cysts so we need to hurry up and have our second before I need surgery again (and possibly lose my ovaries).

Congratulations @Idreamof2more, that's a good start for the thread!

Fishergirl · 03/01/2021 17:35

Can I join please? I'm 43 and ttc DC number 2. I've had 6 MCs/super early losses - last mc was last Feb and I've not had a whiff of a bfp since. My cycle is regular still which gives me a bit of hope. I'm like you though @believingitmighthaooen and I keep on extending my cut off point! I'm taking folic acid, ubiquinol and high dose vit d3. Am also going to do dry January and do some serious healthy eating after the excesses of Christmas! Sending lots of luck to you all.

Fishergirl · 03/01/2021 17:35

Congratulations @Idreamof2more!! What lovely news!

Tiletiletile1 · 03/01/2021 17:37

I’m 40 and I’ll join you! Been TTC for 2 years and just discovered DH has a low sperm count (2million). I keep telling myself to move on... but can’t!

Have read “it starts with the egg” and half implemented it.

Idreamof2more · 03/01/2021 17:54

@Pinkywoo @Fishergirl thank you ladies 💓💓

Janefx40 · 03/01/2021 19:18

@Idreamof2more congratulations - what a lovely start to 2021.

@Fishergirl can I ask where you get your D3? I think I should probably start taking that.

@Tiletiletile1 I know what you mean about "half-implementing" it starts with an egg! It's hard to do it all. Am going to re-read in the next few days and check what else I should be doing!

Fishergirl · 03/01/2021 19:50

@Janefx40 I bought some from Amazon. They're Nu U Nutrition 4000iu softgels. I took 2 a day for a couple of weeks and now just take 1 a day.

Changechangychange · 03/01/2021 19:58

Can I join? Almost 42, TTC DC2 for two years but found out in summer I have Ashermans - I’ve been waiting for surgery since September but due to Covid it hasn’t happened, and I can feel my fertility slipping away Sad

Idreamof2more · 03/01/2021 20:11

@Janefx40 thank you 😊

Janefx40 · 03/01/2021 20:52

Thanks @Fishergirl

timeforanother1 · 03/01/2021 21:20

@Idreamof2more this is AMAZING congratulations!
Lovely to see.

Both dp and I are about 2 stone heavier since we last ttc and are not fit/ active like we used to be... time for things to change!

2020canfuckitself · 03/01/2021 21:43

Me please. I'm 38 with 3 kids but I'm really struggling this time. I've been trying for a year and I feel like time is running out for me

Pinkywoo · 04/01/2021 09:15

I know that feeling @Changechangychange, we had to put off ttc until after my surgery (which kept getting cancelled Angry) so I was 39 by the time I had DS. It's excruciating knowing you could be running out of time but there's nothing you can do about it Flowers

Marvellouslymadmum · 04/01/2021 12:51

I’d love to join please? I’m coming up for 42 have two dc from previous relationships (16 & 15) and dp has two (14 & 13) but we would love one together. He has low motility but managed to have the other two ok, e had one loss two years ago but nothing since. I am now cd36 no flo amd no sign, but have dizziness and nausea and bfn yesterday! Also last month flo was light but went on for a lot longer than usual. I’m panicking there’s something wrong with me Confused

believingitmighthaooen · 27/01/2021 14:26

Hi sorry for not updating sooner. How are you all? I had a really long cycle af didn't come until day 42 and I had done a few tests so knew I wasn't pg so just very frustrating! I've been taking ubiquinol and last time I had a long cycle too so I might stop for this month and see what happens. Haven't got time to wait so long between cycles!

OP posts:
Tiletiletile1 · 27/01/2021 22:13

I took a month off for my own mental health - this “am i?” “Am I not?” Was making me crazy! It was refreshing to know AF was coming and not dread it. Will try again this month though, DH has been taking his vitamins religiously for a couple of months now. I think it has to be three in total to make a difference?

I’ve been taking ubiquinol too - I didn’t know it lengthened your cycle? Mine isn’t long though - between 26 and 28 days.
