Over 40 TTC 2022 group

[teacupstorm22]

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

Hello!
I'd like to join pls
I'm just turned 40, Have an 18yo and DH has two teens. We would like one together.
Last year DH completed chemo for cancer and is now in complete remission (🎉)
He gave a semen deposit before starting chemo which yielded 8 vials of swimmers
We are both going for a fertility MOT next month (earliest appt), it's highly unlikely DH will be fertile anymore after the chemo but there is a slight possibility.
Personally, I'm concerned for my own fertility as before DH became ill we had been having unprotected regular sex for around 10 months that and I didn't fall. I hadn't ever tracked cycles that seriously though.

Anyways, will see what the MOT comes how tog

I'd this thread still active please?

I’m still here!

Can I please join? I'm 43 🙈 and TTC last chance I think, had 2 mm last year x

I'm 41. Have an 8 year old. Just never fell again. Did tests although in hindsight I waited around too long for them. Slightly low amh but other than that nothing wrong. IVF too expensive for us and I'm not prepared to go into debt for something that might not happen. Still have a slight sliver of hope but mostly I've given up.

@Cally1980 @DizzyM43 me too!

Where is everyone at?

I'm on the dreaded two week wait until I find out if AF makes an appearance.....or not

Other than that , 43 - trying for number 2. DD1 is 3.

X

I lie - I did have one early miscarriage but that was it.

Awww how lovely to have a DD also 3, nice to see some BFP.
Me and my partner of 10 years are only just trying recently (last year or so) I do have 2 older boys and I've just got AF today so will be trying again soon, taking lots of supplements and tracking ovulation x

@Orangutanteddy are you taking supplements? I seem to be having a problem getting them to stick.

Good luck to everyone hope to hear good news, nice to find others in the same boat and trying a little older, would love to hear lots of success stories

So, we got the results of all our fertility tests this week. It would seem that I have a strong egg reserve for my age, am definitely ovulating and have better than expected hormone levels for my age (40). DH has no unexpected fragmentation, and his other sperm analysis was all good. As great as this sounds, we had three wary miscarriages in a row last year and all the dr could say was that if we keep trying l, hopefully we'll eventually get a healthy egg. She has prescribed progesterone, to start 49 hours after ovulation, but has said that she equally believes that rather than rejecting unhealthy pregnancies straight away, by body takes a while to detect them, and consequently, it is likely I'll continue to conceive easily but potentially miscarry. Her only advice really was that we pay for early scans and get them done weekly so that we know straight away what is going on.

DH thinks it's worth keeping going. I feel quite down about it (even though it is what I expected). I lost a lot of blood with two of the miscarriages, need surgery with one and ended up needing iron after all three. I also found it really hard to pick up mentally each time. I really want another baby, but I just fee a bit torn at the moment.

@DizzyM43 no I haven't. I probably should. I feel a bit defeated by everything. I'm lucky in that my child has lots of friends and doesn't pine for a sibling. I just never thought I'd only have one, if that makes sense? I always pictured myself with a couple.

Hi all, updated this is 2nd cycle TTC, 41yrs never tried before. Partner 7 months post vasectomy reversal, no kids either. Currently CD14 or a 29day cycle. BD yesterday, today, tomorrow etc etc haha!
Hopefully ovulating having LH spike today or tomorrow.
We haven’t had sperm tested- happening end of month so no idea if either of us is fertile so just in ‘experimental’ phase atm.
I’ll be testing in around 14 days officially but no double will cave 7DPO and test like mad from then!

I'm still here, we haven't actively tried the last few months as it would have clashed with our wedding but from this month it's all systems go now. I will be ovulating around the 15th so will use ovulation tests and temperature leading up, my cycle is 27 days like clockwork

Hello ladies
Please can I join?
TTC baby two, after a bit of a gap, and looking for some company to get through it.

So good so many different stories..but all trying for the same thing 

@Orangutanteddy can I ask how you know you ovulation on day 15?

Thanks

@littlegingerone sorry that was meant for you 😊

I have been using the flo app and ovulation tests and tracking my temperature for the last few months now and I seem to ovulate when the app predicts I will do. You add your temperatures into the app and ovulation test results and it learns from your data and your cycles

I'm also using Flo, haven't been doing any ovulation tests yet. Which ones do people use? Frustratingly husband is away for work during ovulation this month (according to app) so will have to wait until next month.

Which supplements are you ladies taking?

I'm taking supplements recommended by it starts with the egg for recurrent miscarriage, co q 10 etc, Ive just started my new cycle so will be testing soon, I use the cheap one step ovulation sticks and also Flo to track though I seem to ovulate quite early in my cycle, hoping it happens soon and sticks 😊

@DizzyM43 have just read starts with the egg and am going to order some coq 10 to add to my normal pre conception vits. Good luck this cycle!

The great speed race on YouTube is brilliant

Sperm not speed

Ooo will have a look x

I think I’m 4dpo, possible 3 or 5.
Not really any symptoms just a bit of creamy cm but likely that’s normal. Woke up with mild headache, could all just be normal progesterone things.
Never been pregnant so nothing to compare it to really.
Borrred of waiting.

Thank you, I'm only cd8 atm so a bit longer to wait, no ovulation yet, hormones going crazy this month haha, good luck 🤞🏼 for a positive result for you, the waiting is def the worst part x
