Trying to conceive DC #2 at 40 using Persona- any tips?

[rubyblueslippers]

Had DC #1 by a happy accident at 39- now actively trying for DC #2.

I know it will be difficult because of my age. We are using Persona and TTC on the'red' days and on the days before and when ovulating (getting the 'egg' symbol.)

Is there anything else we can do? How often should we be having sex?

I know these are really basic questions but have never TTC before and I am worried that we are not doing things right. My age makes it more difficult, I think.

I am not overweight, don't drink, don't smoke.

Any tips welcome!

also conceived DS1 by happy accident when 39; he arrived when I was 40.

Decided to try again when he was 1; got pg first month, just by SWI on CD11 and 13 (wasn't monitoring/temping/charting etc). Sadly had a MMC at 13 weeks.

TTC again; just got a BFP 3 months later, again just by SWI on cd10/11/12. Am 6 weeks so very early days, but I guess I'm just happy to be pg as will be 42 next month.

I think it's SO dependent on individuals, it's hard to give tips as such. But I do think being as relaxed as possible about things and having sex regularly at about the right time is the best plan. Good luck.

PS there is a very friendly 40+ TTC thread - LOTS of good advice and support available there.

Thansk jollster and many congrats! Fingers crossed for you. Great news.

That's actually v. reassuring. It's funny, we concieved DS on a red day but I had not had an 'egg' synbol so thought I hadn't ovulated! Oops. So maybe there is an element of luck/chance/serendipity involved.

Thanks for the 40+ thread tip- must check that out.
