39 and trying to conceive:-(

Sorry to hear you've all been sick, bad time of year for it hope you are both well soon

My husband is just recovering from having chicken pox over Christmas, but I'm hoping he can be persuaded to bd later as I am cd10 and have short cycles (24 days)... And don't chart or do opk's yet...... But having lots of cramping at the mo, so think its a good idea the charting stuff is all new to me, but I may go down that route if I'm still ttc in a few months time......

hope you are both well soon xx

Hi MumtoBe!

Im 38 ttc my first! Going through tests with a FS. Just saw my gyno today and moving onto a watersono on Monday. Probably end up doing IUI soon.

How are all the ladies feeling and doing?

I have a stomach flu and I feel like my basal temping is all off and I'm so not right. Yeah to the weekend. Hoping to do a lot of nothing this weekend.

I started trying at 38, never had a BFP at all, then conceived after 16 months, two months after my 40th. Have faith ladies, I still can't believe we did it!

Hi everyone! I think our efforts this month weren't enough as we only managed to bd once at cd 7 as my husband had chicken pox over xmas and even I didnt have the heart to force the issue and even though my cycles are short so should ovuvale around cd 10/11, we bd too early.... Although its all good practice eh

I'm feeling pretty mellow at the moment though, and your positive stories are spurring me on, thanks! I've also just heard that a friend of mine is pregnant with #1 and will turn 40 in April, so she is delighted, having conceived naturally after about a year of trying

Hope you are all well x

Hi ladies! I turned 39 in August. My DH is 37. We got married 2 1/2 years ago and have been TTC for over 1 1/2 years. We met with a FS in August after 13 months of unsuccessful trying. All my tests came back great. DH has low morphology (<1%). I had cancer 2 years ago that has left me unable to create mucus (sorry if that's TMI). FS recommended ICSI IVF which we started on 20/12. We had 4 fertilized eggs and one healthy and hatching 5 day blast. Nothing to freeze. I'm 5 days into my 2ww and trying to stay positive while I wait. Is anyone else in their 2ww? How are you coping?

Welcome! I'm 6 or 7 dpo and just trying to keep busy with work and there is a lot of it so....
Fx'd for you in your IVF. When do you go for a beta?

Thanks. Good luck to you too! I go for my blood work on Friday 18/1. The minutes seem like hours and I'm trying to stop myself from POAS - mostly because of the fear of a negative.
