Turning 39 in March… what would you do?

[user1493581567]

All feeling totally fed up but then guilty as I already have 2 fab boys and know how lucky I am to have them. They are so great and make my soul happy.
TTC no.3 for approx 15 months now and nada…. Not even a hint of everything.
Use opks and get smileys every month, get lots of CM( sorry if TMI) and all bloods showing normal.
Had Hycosy this cycle and again looking normal so next steps is for himself to get tested but before we tried for no1 he did get tested & his results were amazing back then and had since gone on to have our two DC.
I don’t really know what to think… age getting me down and I’m starting to lose hope.
Current thinking is to keep going and hope it happens. We really cant afford IVF and would need to get a loan if going down that road…. What would you do?

Hi OP. Very similar situation here. I'm 38, DD is 2, desperately trying for a second. We had some private fertility testing last month, DH was normal, I have low ovarian reserve which is probably age-related, nothing I can really do. Because of this we were also told we wouldn't be good candidates for IVF (not that we could really afford it anyway). We have decided to keep trying naturally and see what happens. Most of the time I'm okay with this, but AF appeared last night after being nearly a week late, so feeling pretty hopeless today. Sorry, no real advice, just wanted to let you know that I feel you. We are lucky because we have children already, still doesn't stop it hurting.

Times cycles? You take Clomid or Letrozole at the start of your cycle. This means you’ll produce two eggs at least giving you double the chance. Your follicles are monitored and then you’ll be told when to trigger and when to BD (typically 12, 24 and 36 hours after trigger. Then test at 14dpo.

I feel it’s just a more efficient way especially when time is not on your side.

Timed cycles even

Hi guys,
thanks for all your replies. Went to a new clinic and found out in early June I'm insulin resistant which came as a big shock but good to pinpoint the reasons why I'm struggling. Have been on treatment for that and very luckily feel pregnant in July cycle - however, heartbreakingly my hcg levels were only rising slowly and I found out on Friday I'm only measuring 6 weeks (when almost 8) and no heartbeat. Waiting for natural miscarriage to happen and will start letrozole next cycle but avoid TTC that month and hope to start the cycle after this one. Heartbroken but hopeful I'm closer.... Thanks again for all your replies!
