hi all
basically decided to join this cos of the positive msgs i saw regarding 'mature ladies being pg' In other msg boards i visited it was full of doom and gloom. Im now 37 and have been ttc for a while now. I have three other children from previous marriage and feel this is my last chance. MY hubby is also older. I been to doc and been checked out and she actually said i had a good score on the progestrogen test and all is ok. (what is a good score and why??) She cant work out why im not falling pg and said it may just take more time. anyway any advice or anythin would be good. I had one miscarriage yrs ago but never got pg with my partner. we been bd with no protection for about two plus yrs. In past he has had probs with ED n retarded ejactuation ( means he found it difficult to come more than once in a while ) but in the last yr its more or less cleared up. He hasnt been checked out but he fathered with his ex 20yrs back.
Like is said any advice would be great...Im good weight and bmi is good.im using ovulation kits and hopin for a bfp before i get too ancient!! :{

Hi Duval, welcome to Mumsnet .

I'd hop over to the Conception board as there are plenty of helpful TTCers over there.

Also, IMHO, 37 certainly isn't ancient, especially if your progesterone levels are okay. I'd get a copy of 'Taking Charge of Your Fertility' by Toni Weschler - it is a fantastic book about fertility and charting, and along with the OPKs, might just be the answer to your problems...

Good luck!

PS - an adequate level of progesterone is required to maintain the endometrium lining for successful implantation. In a normal, non-pregnant cycle, the sudden drop in progesterone starts of the shedding of the lining (i.e. period starts). Whereas in a successful cycle, progesterone levels stay high. HTH.
