Ive just recently heard this too Glitter, they suggest that alot of early mcs are due to thyroid conditions, I was telling them mine was tested as was within the limits, she informed me that within the limits may not be truly fine when it comes to your thyroid and it has to be put in perspective with everything that is going on, interesting! Another interesting fact is that my Aunt had her thyroid removed and had to end up adopting, my sister also has a thyroid condition, and this type of thing is suppose to run in the family.

Oh yeah older person here too, 42 in August, 4 mcs, hoping the smudge within holds on tight this time!! Im cheering for you ladies!!

Hi ladies,

Just thought I'd introduce myself, I'm 40, have 2 grown up is, eldest is 21, youngest is 19. They share a flat and work together!! wonders will never cease!! lol.

I had my beautiful daughter in june last year, but sadly through midwifery negligence she was born sleeping at 38+3 weeks.

Katie was a surprise baby, but so much wanted. We are trying again as we still have all this love to give. I did become pregnant again but had a mmc 10 weeks ago, I was 9+4 weeks preg. Not had af since but my hcg levels are falling and at the last count where 13, so hopefully by next week my cycle will return and we can get dtd!!

Its lovely to be part of a group of "older" mums and ttc'ers

Hopefully we can help each other through this merry-go-round of emotions

Take care

hi, well I'm almost 40 OH 48 and we have been TTC since January, I have two boys 18 and 16 and OH boy 20 girl 19 from our previous marriages.

we didnt think we would be lucky enough but after 5 cycles we have our first

last nite and this morning and are still in shock! he had a sperm test only this Tuesday and waiting for his results and i was starting bloods thisMonday!
Instead of discussing why we're not getting pregnant with GP Monday I now can tell her I'm pregnant, how a week can change!!!

Still early days but FXN!!! xx
