Over 40 TTC 2022 group

[teacupstorm22]

Just that...anyone in 40s TTC in 2022?
First, second babies?
Just want to know others exist 😃

@Thatusername depending on where you are in the country IVF is available up to 42 yo, sometimes up to 43 as in some places there has been an extension due to the pandemic. You might only get one round but you may as well if it's available.

AF today ☹️
Feeling quite down.

But going to keep trying but realistic.
I'm 44 in August.

Hi @oxfordinwinter85 don’t be down keep positive! I’m 42 and ttc. Sending you lots of love x

Hi @Maybebaby7 just seeing how you're going...

I've started temping - when can I remember - not so easy with a 3 year old 😀

Hun there, I’m okay 5 dpo today. Feeling a bit crampy and boobs a bits achey but prob early pms. Hate waiting. How are you feeling ? Xx

@Lemonbell congratulations!

Can I ask did you temp or use an app?
Or ovulation tests?

I'm still trying to pinpoint my exact fertile time 😀

I'll have to look into that.Thanks.

Does anyone use those clearblue ovulation tests? I had 1 day of low fertility, and now 5 days of high fertility. Before I only had 1 day of high fertility and it peaked the next day. It says it can mean you haven't ovulated or you could have had a low surge. If it was low does that mean I still have a chance? The only thing different this month is that I've taken a multi vitamin, upped the folic acid , and I started taking coq10. So I don't know if I'm just late ovulating or what. It's cycle day 14.

@Thatusername I've been using them. The high days do seem to vary from month to month and I think the instructions say up to 9 days of high is ok. I think I had 5 high days before peak last month and 4 this month so it does vary

I won't worry too much then. Thanks

@Lemonbell it's funny you say you went on ewcm... as I am thinking the app I'm referring to is also predicting wrong ovulation time.

I notice about three days after period ends..watery discharge....I'm assuming this is the start?

I'm going to record ewcm with the app and see.

Although with the last AF I'm kind of thinking my chances are quite low...I'm 43. So...

Hi I would love to join this group. I am 42 ttc number 3. I thought I was of last month so many signs but nope! X

Well finally got my peak. Last month I got in on CD 12 now its CD 14. I keep wondering if taking coQ10 has been behind it. Though I've been taking for under 2 weeks so possibly not. I do go to the gym so maybe any weight loss affects it too.

I did hear that taking ibuprofen may or may not have an effect. So I'm trying to stick to paracetamol whenever I need a pain killer. Though when AF comes it's not as effective.

So tracking my ECMW and it's a little sticky sort or like egg white, but only CD7 / CD8 ...I'm wondering if it really is egg white and more the pre stage to that.
My cycles are average 26 days.
Anyway we DTD on CD7. And I think may have to go for it the next few days..

Tracking temp and it's 35.9 each morning since AF finished.

Any tips or insights?
This is trying for number 2
Have a beautiful DD1

Blessings to all 🐞

Also I'm using the ovulation"Freedom" packs....

Has anyone ever got the two lines on ovulation packs?

Is it best to test in first wee when you wake up in the morning?

Honestly can never get these ovulation packs!

Didn't ever get a line before we conceived DD1 🤷🏻‍♀️

@oxfordinwinter85 are they strip tests? If so I believe the best time is late afternoon (around 4 or 5pm) as that is the best time to pick up the surge. Although you could do them morning and afternoon just to be sure that you don't miss it as it can be quite quick.

I'm out this month, AF just showed up

Hi ladies never give up hope. 42 and got my bfp today. Sending baby dust x

@Sunnierdays7 congratulations!!! That helps keep my hope alive.

Keep believing 🍀

Ah how lovely! Congratulations!!!

Thank you x

How are you going @Sunnierdays7 ?
That's fantastic news!

Still awaiting here....it's 7 days until AF will probably appear.

I've been getting a bit of a headache last few days and a tight feeling in right side. But could be AF symptoms.

Oh this is just such a shit wait
Could it also be menopause!!!

Hi @oxfordinwinter85 I am fine over here. No symptoms at all at 4+4. Fingers crossed for you x

41yr here, tww for first attempt at first pregnancy. Currently 4dpo I think? Maybe 5 I’m a little unsure! No symptoms so far, breasts feel more like they are ‘there’ if that makes sense but could be progesterone. Lol. Expecting at the very least a year of trying if it’s at all possible.
Good luck everyone 🤞🏼
