Over 40 TTC 2022 group

[teacupstorm22]

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

Unsure if this thread is still going?
im 44 first time ttc and ICSI to begin June time ( I think, will know more after planning call in the 11th may )
amh is 9.7 and fsh 6.8
partners sperm is slightly lower than normal but they said not a major concern, we’re getting retested too. That’s why we’re going with ICSI.
wishing everyone the best of luck.

hope to rest of your successes soon x

so lovely to read about others in the same boat. 😊

Welcome and Fingers crossed 🤞 for you. I am 42 next month and also ttc baby no 3. We have a 2 and a 4 year old. We have been trying for six months now and have a fertility assessment booked for next week so really hoping the results are good. We fell quite quickly with our other two so really hoping it happens soon 🤞

@Icamehere4love welcome ...I've been a long time lurker on here 😊
I'm 43, turning 44 in August trying for number 2.
Are you using OPK's?

@winterfox78 thank you 🙏
wishing you all the luck xxx
i was using ovulation predictor test when we were trying naturally but I never got caught.
Started norethisterone Sunday and will take until Friday. Then wait for the bleed then arrange scan, then the injections start etc etc. egg retrieval booked in for 27 June and then within the week later blastocyst transfer all being well. First time going through ivf/icsi so learning fast.
How about you? X

Hey there,

I'm using clear blue opk as wasn't getting peak with the cheapies and I am now, still trying. Good luck to all xxx

Has anyone taken ubiquinol? I’m confused as to how much to take!

Hey other over 40s
i know this is possibly a bit of a desperate post but I think I’m looking for hope or at least a gentle let down!

we’re not officially ttc but have one child and would welcome another. We dtd on ovulation day according to my app. I’m now CD34 and no sign of period. I’ve taken two tests which have been negative. I think I’m grasping at straws but - I had spotting 11 days post ovulation. symptom wise now I’m very bloated (much more than usual pmt) and my cervix seems high. I can’t tell if I’m fatigued as my little one not sleeping well so tbh I’m always tired!

I’m still breastfeeding my toddler and obviously he was home and wanted to feed more over the bank hol weekend than usual but no more than he does if he’s poorly etc and it’s It delayed me before. My cycles are averaging 26 days usually sometimes up to 30.

someone help my sanity am I just hitting menopause or could there be a chance?

be kind as I feel like this is my last chance due to my age (43)

That should say ‘hasn’t delayed me before’

Hi I'm 40 and we've decided to try for our first, slightly concerned we left it too late tbh but here goes! It's our first cycle of trying so fingers crossed!

Hi all
@Holls81 I have been taking 200ml of ubiquinol per day for the last couple of months and on cycle six now.
Im reading a book called it started with an egg and there is some useful info in there about supplements, not sure if it works but thought I would give it a go, can’t do any harm 🤷‍♀️.
I am also using the cheapies opk and clear blue opk which seem to work well so far.
@CateyA I think there is still a chance at 43, I’ve read a few posts of it happening successfully at 44
I was advised to have a thyroid function check, so I’ve found a company online who send you the test kit to do it at home which I thought was easier than going to the gp at the moment and the results should be here in a couple of days, just hopefully to rule it out 🤞
I feel very very lucky to have fallen pregnant at 37 & 39 with my two with no issues and it happened the 1st and 2nd time of ttc.
fingers crossed for us all and good luck 🤞

I'm 40 and trying for my first. Reading online people's experiences it seems to be that it's harder to conceive a first baby over 40 than it is second plus babies. I'm not very hopeful about my chances to be honest. I'm just heading into cycle 5 now.

Just catching up on reading posts 😊

I'm taking Ubiquinone just a diff version of coq 10 and still absorbs quicker then the co q 10, I'm taking 300mg am and lunchtime along with other bits and pieces and also read it starts with egg, currently have covid so out this month, not the positive test I was hoping for, I'm 43 and my hormones appear to be all over the place. Do any of you know anything I can do to help regulate them?

@Cofefefe I conceived my son at age 40 after 12 cycles of trying so stay positive!

After trying for 6 months I discovered via GP blood test that I had an underactive thyroid (if I remember correctly TSH should ideally be under 3 to conceive and mine was over 5). So who knows, that may have played a bigger role in the time taken to conceive than my age 🤷‍♀️. Worth getting it checked anyway if you haven't already - underactive thyroid is a common thing to have and easily treated.

Trying for the second nearly two years now. There’s still a hope, but fading.. turned 42.

@CateyA hey just wanted to see how you are going.
I'm also 43 and Ttc number 2.

Just quick update, another unsuccessful cycle, a lot of tears.
still waiting for gp response to our constant requests for some help with fertility.
partner def has low sperm count and I’m 41, first time trying to concieve, think we are onto our 6th cycle now, considering IUI and maybe also sperm retrieval but it’s so expensive.

Hi all. Do you think this looks like an evap line or a faint positive?
it didn’t come up immediately (it was about half hour later) which made me think maybe an evap line but then I read something to say that evap lines are usually colourless and not as thick as the other line 🤔
Your thoughts please! X

If you leave tests too long they can show false positive results. If no line shows up after the time specified then it will mean you’re not pregnant.
