40 trying for number 2.

[iwantanother]

Hi! Kinda new here! Feel a little left out. Decided to start a new thread to see if I could meet some 40 ttc buddies. Trying for 4 cycles now. Not that long. Frustrated already! Anyone out there want to be buddies and get through this together?

Hello
I'm 40 and we're going to start tcc in January. Unfortunately I can't start sooner because I've only been in my job for 5 months.
I already have a 2.5 year old who I conceived very easily but that was three years ago and I'm nervous about it taking a lot longer this time round.
Nervous but excited.

Hopefully you will have moved on by then but if you are still here in two months it would be great to be buddies.

Hx

Hi Jax41 and Halle71! Thanks! I will most likely still be here in 2 months! Took 9 months to have my first and he is 4 now. Probably take just as long for number 2. I only just started using OPK last month. Hope they help. I don't temp but am wondering if I should start. Any Preseed users? would you recommend? I need all the help I can get!

I will be 38 next week. My situation is weird because I have a 21, 17, and 14 year old already, although the two oldest are not my biological kids I raised them and we are a close family. I was sick with undiagnosed wheat allergy and celiacs forever and my after I had my youngest I was too sick to consider having a fourth. Now that I am healthy, I am ready to try and my husband is still in so...here I am.

Hello everyone! I am 42 and been trying 12 months for #2-- my DD is 12. I am currently in 2ww. Hoping we all get to be bb's soon!

 

[iwantanother]

Hi everybody! What is your opinion? Anybody scared about having a baby late in life cause of all the risks? Downs, etc?
Can't wait to get started this month! Last month was horrible! O should be around the 20th or 21st. Dont know if I am doing it right. OPK is always pos around CD13 or 14(thats the 20th and 21st) so prob 22nd? IDK! Any help?

 

[CHILLbilly]

Iwant- I have used preseed .........regular lube will kill sperm...so its better then anything else....Just don't use too much..haha
and i think you have between 12-36 hours before ovulation when test is positive ( line is darker then test line) i would BD as soon as you get that line..then every other day or every day after..... depends on Oh sperm quality i guess...not sure...I am always scared I will miss the chance by waiting a day for him to "recharge" haha
BOTH times I have gotten pregnant I have on cd 14. with 28 day cycles.......
here's hoping it worked again..haha


peanutpup...in 2ww.....isn't it horrible..haha I try t to think about it but have been doing a daily countdown since 6dpo..... I will be 10...to early to test but may anyway... AF due in 5 days.
good luck to you!!!!!!

You all seem so lovely. I don't have all the abbreviations down yet so bare with me.
Over 40, partner and I are ttc but the 2ww is driving me crazy.
Very new to the whole forum thing but I ll be your buddy.

 

[CHILLbilly]

Oh theres a thread somewhere with abbrviations....I'll try to find it for you if you haven't seen it already...
most importantabbrev's are
BD- baby dance = sex!!!
DTD- didor do the deed ( deed =sex) lol
OH-other half
AF-aunt flo..ie period
dpo - days past ovulation..... ( get a cute ticker to keep track at tickerfactory.com )
cd-cycle day..... ie cd1 is first day of period
DS or DD - dear son or dear Daughter
SS or SD- step son ect.

that should help for now...
Until you get your BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big FAT Positive
