Good morning! I've not posted on MN for a while as trying to take a more laid back approach but let's face it that doesn't work anymore than anxiously rabbit holeing your way through a cycle either.

I am coming to the end of cycle 2083626480 and I have had all the usual period symptoms! Everything seemed to come together nicely this time so it's another disappointing month. Not tested but know the inevitable. My partner and I have some fertility tests coming up so hopefully some light will be shed on our situation.

I have a 3 year old and have had 3 miscarriages last year.

Anybody in the same boat and would like a friendly thread to share their journey it would be great to hear from you!

@Ninjajay That's pretty exciting! To actually see ovulation on a us. Can't get much better confirmation than that. And you only need one good egg - hope that was the one and you caught it in time!

Ninjajay · 08/10/2022 09:15

I know right! I said to the doctor if only we had ultrasounds around every peak OPK each month. 🤞

Thanks @Chasingclouds100 . One good thing is they had to do another ultrasound and could see I had just ovulated. Told me to have sex yesterday so that's what we went home and did LOL. So 1dpo for me. But I won't be holding my breath!

Oh wow!! This is exciting - fingers AND toes crossed for you x

Hi
Im 44. I’ve just lost a pregnancy, I’m guessing I was the 1out of 2 because of my age and chromosomal abnormalities. It’s pretty grime reading being pregnant in your 40s but it won’t deter me ☺️

Anu75 · 08/10/2022 14:35

I am 46z will be 47

It is hard esp when you crave a baby but want a hqppy healthy baby

Chasingclouds100 · 08/10/2022 16:25

Everthingzrosie - I’m so sorry for your loss xx

Ninjajay · 08/10/2022 16:51

Yes so sorry for your loss, it's an awful thing to happen 💚

Everythingzrosie · 09/10/2022 09:58

@Chasingclouds100 @Ninjajay thank you x I’m hoping for a miracle x

mrsbeg · 09/10/2022 10:52

Hi I'm 41 and we have been trying for about 18 months. One MMC and a chemical. Hopefully we get out BP soon. Anyone else taking CoQ10?

Ninjajay · 09/10/2022 13:02

@mrsbeg yes me! Actually the doctor I saw suggested I should take it.

mrsbeg · 09/10/2022 14:57

How much did the dr suggest taking? I'm on 600mg. Did the Dr recommend one in particular?

mrsbeg · 09/10/2022 14:59

@Ninjajay sorry I was meant to reply to you but I'm new on this app. Which CoQ10 did the Dr suggest and how much. Just checking I'm taking enough....x

Ninjajay · 09/10/2022 15:32

@mrsbeg she said you can take up to 600. I've read that it best taken in ubiquinolol form

Jaystar7 · 10/10/2022 14:13

Hi ladies I’m 42 ttc baby number 3. Fell straight away when conceived ds 1 & ds2but was 24 & 35. This is my third cycle and I’m my TWW. Xx

mrsbeg · 10/10/2022 14:21

Hi @Jaystar7 I'm 41 and it's been about 18 months. I have an 11 yr old and nearly 9 year old. The TWW seems to last forever doesn't it...

Jaystar7 · 10/10/2022 15:05

Yes it certainly does. It’s awful. I am due to test Monday when my af will be one day late unless it arrives sooner. I have a 30 day cycle. When are you due to test ? X

MadamLibrarian · 10/10/2022 16:00

Hi guys how’s it going with you all? I’m in the wait…again…trying to feel hopeful as we did DTD fully a couple of times this month. My DH has difficulty ‘finishing’ these days so fingers crossed.

Ninjajay · 10/10/2022 17:54

It's 3dpo for me! AF due around the 20th 🤞

Anu75 · 19/10/2022 13:47

Does anyone follow simply tanika on youtube....she is pregnant!!!!!

Ninjajay · 19/10/2022 14:09

No I don't know who they are?

meetmeinthespring · 05/12/2022 20:37

Hoping to revive this thread to see how everyone is going 😀

Ninjajay · 05/12/2022 20:49

Well I had a hysteroscopy today! It was not pleasant and couldn't tolerate for long but everything looks ok in there. I have had to basically not try this cycle because of that so feel like I'm in a 3 week wait to try again 🤣

meetmeinthespring · 06/12/2022 05:24

@Ninjajay how old are you if you don't mind me asking...
I might be the oldest on here, 44.
TTC number 2....

Ninjajay · 06/12/2022 06:15

@meetmeinthespring I'm 41, been TTC number 2 for 2 years. Had 3 miscarriages last year. Not even a hint of a positive this year. I'm feeling less mental about it all nowadays but keeping the hope alive a bit longer. There's a lady on another group still trying at 51

lizziecat1 · 06/12/2022 07:14

@meetmeinthespring Only 44? You're still young! I'm 45. TTC again - have 3 older children but for some crazy reason we'd like to do it all again. Currently 9dpo and trying to stay away from the tests!
