Hi Ladies, I havent posted in ages, over a year!! Im 43 in oct, and ttc my second with OH, my number 5. My DD is 9 months old today, and I thought I would start a thread for some advice/encouragement!! I Have no symptoms though, this is our 5th month trying, last time at almost 41 it only took 2 cycles. Getting worried that maybe I have past it now?

i'm with you, i'm 9dpo with a BFN today too. there's still testing days ahead...so fxed. and no you are certainly not past it at 42. you've got 4 other children including a 9mth old, don't think you've got anyth to worry about. best of luck!

Tried pre seed once this month, but normally I have good ewcm. I didnt use pre seed when I got pg last time though!! I have heard of softcups but never tried them! Maybe I will next month

I had a mc at age 41 in 2009 and it took me about two years to conceive again, altho during that time, we underwent pre-IVF blood work that diagnosed an underactive thyroid and PCOS, so with medication from January 2011, I got pregnant naturally in June 2011 at age 43 (so 6 months when my body and hormones were correct). My little boy was born 12 days ago (pre-eclampsia, but up until wk 32, a really good pregnancy) at the age of 44!

If you are worried, why not ask your doctor to check routine bloods, e.g. iron and thyroid, as some women do have a slight change in hormones, etc. after pregnancy, over 40s.

good luck!

9 DPO is still early though! I didn't get anything at even 10 DPO. A faint, faint line started showing up at 11 DPO. You HcG levels double every other day so try again tomorrow and the next day! Fingers crossed!

Thank you ladies
Sabrinakat...how inspiring
Did an IC this am and I think I am seeing things, it is just too faint to determine between evap and a pos, so for now, I vote evap
I will do another tomorrow. I appreciate the replies, its given me hope, so thank you xx

The average length of time to conceive over the age of 40 is a year, even couples under 35 they say it takes MOST around 6 months so I wd say there is no point in worrying at this stage.

I know it's hard getting disappointment, but sometimes a wee bit of perspective is reassuring, even if you didn't conceive until the next few months you would be on the higher side of fertility! X

Nada for me @ 10 dpo. Hopefully yours isnt an evap line!! I'll be watchin.
