41 and still trying! Any joiners

[ladybuggoldfinch]

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!

Hello everyone, I know this is an older group but have seen some people posting recently and I'd love to join.

I'm 40 (still not used to that TBH, anyone else not sure how this happened to them?) and have two kids, 4 and 6 this year.

Trying for #3 against all sensible reasons not to of which there are many. Cycle 6 atm.

Partner was hard to persuade to have another (he's very head, I'm all heart) and I kind of persuaded him by pretending I'd be all 'lets just see what happens'.....obvs that was a lie. Also said we'd just try til Christmas, and well, here we are!

CD16, think I ovulate early on day 12 with short cycles. So about 4dpo.

Would love to chat going into this awful headf*ck of the next week!

@JoRobyn welcome to the group! I know what you mean! I was going to call it day at 42! That day is fast approaching and I'm not calling it a day. I have a peak today at 11dpo usually happens day 14/15 but did have a chemical in jan and taking a shit ton of supplements so who knows. It's hard to know wether its hormones from age or all the things we do to try and help.

Good luck 🤞

Ahhh I am always day 11 too. I think I do ovulate early though as get ewcm from day 7and then it's gone by day 12? we DTD 9,11 and 12 this month so not a great effort. We went away and it made it difficult (family room and very busy!) Don't hold out much hope but I guess it only takes the once?!

@JoRobyn that's exactly it! Just one poxy sperm - how hard can it be eh 😆. Well fingers crossed it's your month

Think I may be the oldest here....TTC number 2.

At 44! May be too late...

Cycles are 25 days and very regular.
I'm going to use ovulation strips this month, been trying for nearly 9 months.

I'm sure I ovulate early....
