Hey , so got my BFP (am 44 in two weeks) yesterday.
This was the last chance for myself and my partner. I am in confirmed perimenopause, have been taking a prenatal supplement for the past 7 months to get healthier eggs. Then i heard about coq10(Ubiquinol) and had been taking that for 4 months.
I NEVER get EWCM and in fact dryness was a sign i was in perimenopause. We have always used preseed & a conception cup but the act that got me pregnant, was a quickie in our campervan (TMI) , very little cervical mucus, no preseed & stood up straight away.
As for symptoms- i had ALL my usual AF symptoms such as cramps, ovary pains, headaches and increased appetite. In my previous pregnancies in my 20s & 30s i had ZERO symptoms of anything.
AF never arrived so i figured that was me starting to skip periods as perimenopause progressed.
i was about to get in the shower 4 days after the AF no show and figured i would do a test just in case- odd because i had no intention of doing it and had convinced myself that was it and my chance in life was gone. BFP!
So, against all odds inc age, peri, lack of cm, no ‘optimal’ sex positions, and full on AF symptoms etc - its possible!
Now just to hope this is a sticky baby , again odds not in my favour 🤞
