I just needed to post to see if anyone is in the same boat....

I'm 43...turning 44 in a month! and TTC number 2. Have a beautiful year old DD.

Have been TTC for 5months but no full well time is NOT on my side!

I'm taking pre conception vitamins , I don't drink , good diet etc etc....

That's me.

Anyone else want to join?

@Nikster8012 I feel you pain. Every month is just an emotional rollercoaster. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Rainbows121 · 14/08/2023 19:28

@Countrygirl777 I'm on other ttc groups and there are afew women who have fallen pregnant at 46 naturally.

Countrygirl777 · 15/08/2023 07:09

@Rainbows121 really? Whats the group name? That definitely sounds hopeful.
Well af is due today. I haven't woke up with the usual headache but I tested and got bfn 😥. Just got to wait for af to show now to begin the whole waiting and hoping. I felt for sure it had happened this month as so many symptoms.

rainyday32 · 15/08/2023 11:54

Joining, also just turned 45 and TTC number for 2 years...
Grateful for our beautiful DD1
But keeping on going....

Countrygirl777 · 17/08/2023 09:26

Need advice ladies, im going out of my mind. So ive been having symptoms for over a week now. Backache, cramps, sore heavy boobs and lots of watery cm. Cervix is high and soft. Im now 2 days late and still getting bfn's. Im honestly so confused right now. My bodys telling me I am but the tests say no. I have none of my usual af symptoms either. Any ideas????

Nikster8012 · 17/08/2023 13:00

@Countrygirl777

that sounds suspiciously preggo. What brand of test are you using ?? Internet cheapies may not be able to pick up yet... or maybe you ovulate later the expected. If using a clearblue or first response rhats very weird as they are reliable.

Have you booked the doctor ?? You may want a blood test.

and is being late unusual ? Everyone is different, but sounds like a blood test is needed.

fingerscrossed.... would be totes awesome if you are pregnant. X

Countrygirl777 · 17/08/2023 15:17

@Nikster8012 Thats what I thought but didnt want to get my hopes up. I have been feeling so sick all day today as well.
Ive been using internet cheapies, Boots ultra early and first responce rapid results. Got some clear blue on the way.
Im never late. I nomally have 26 day cycle and track with op and app. This month I ovulated later than normal. I got positive op 3rd Aug so surly somthing would be showing by now. The not knowing is acctully killing. Either AF arrive or give me a bfp just put me out my misery.

Nikster8012 · 17/08/2023 16:03

@Countrygirl777 the clearblue should be more reliable. Fingers massively crossed. I really hope ita good news. I ovulated on the 6th so I am waiting atm. Due Monday. Hope it doesn't come. No symptoms apart from cramps from 5dpo but that's normal for me.
Fingerscrossed the clear blue will be a BFP !!! It sounds promising but probably need to hold out as you said ovulate late so may have thrown the cycle slightly. Lets hope you get a positive. Would be lovely to hear good stories on the reread. Could help people in the future

I used to get these symptoms with pcos. Just wait. If you’re pregnant it will reveal itself eventually!

rainyday32 · 19/08/2023 06:16

@Countrygirl777 how are you ? Hope you are ok? Did you get some Clearblue tests?

Rainbows121 · 23/08/2023 22:38

And into the 2ww I go. Hope everyone is doing ok?

rainyday32 · 24/08/2023 08:18

@Rainbows121 I think I might be out again this month.
I'm 45 now so I'm not holding much hope on TTC number 2 ☺️
I don't know anyone who has had a baby at 45.

LouScot · 24/08/2023 10:52

@rainyday32 I've heard of a few. I know it's not common but it's not impossible xx

worldwidetravel2017 · 01/09/2023 17:56

Nikster8012 · 01/09/2023 19:38

Keep us all posted @worldwidetravel2017 I am due to ovulate tomorrow.... watch out boyfriend hahhah I am pretty regular 28 to 30 days. Still on the stupid expensive Chinese herbs. Fingers crossed for ya !!!! Massively !! X

worldwidetravel2017 · 01/09/2023 21:47

Tmi but had white discharge this pm so period incoming no doubt

Nikster8012 · 02/09/2023 08:27

@worldwidetravel2017 I thought white discharge was good indicator of pregnancy??? I am no expert at this area though. And the whole where is my cervix thing is beyond me. I am 5ft11 and it's near impossible for doctors to ever find mine haha

rainyday32 · 19/09/2023 10:41

How is everyone going?
I think I'm out again this month.
I'm fast losing hope 😪
45 now and it is too late.

Chocolatepopcorn · 19/09/2023 10:48

I name changed but I was @doorsdoyle at the start of this thread. I posted in July 22 at 41 years old. I had a miscarriage that August. Believe it or not I fell pregnant the month after and my nearly four month old is upstairs sleeping now. I was 42 when she was born. I didn't do much different other than take prenatal vitamins. It was a lovely shock to say the least because I had been trying for number 2 since about 36. Good luck everyone.

40andtrying1 · 19/09/2023 16:47

Hi have you tried clomid? I am waiting for an appointment with the nhs fertility clinic. I’m hoping i will be offered clomid. We have been try for 8 months now 🙁

40andtrying1 · 19/09/2023 16:50

Hi ladies, Has anyone here got any experience using clomid? I am waiting to see a nhs consultant . I am hoping I will be offered this medication.
Do these appointments tend to have long waiting lists? 😩
my birthday is fast approaching, I feel time is running out…

Hi @rainyday32

It's so hard when its all you want and keep thinking about it month & month.
I'm 5dpo but like you I'm losing hope. I'm still having acupuncture between days 6-10 of cycle. If nothing else it makes me feel relaxed and I'm doing something to help the process 😀
