Hello everyone. I hope you don't mind me jumping in here. I am almost 44 and ttc #1. Right now I am on a ttc break after a cp..just focusing on egg quality for the next 3 months..I am hoping with a good diet,supplements and a positive attitude I can make it happen. I am going to start trying again in July and keep trying as long as I am taking good care of my eggs..I will keep trying

CD1 for me today.

Hi Coco! What supps do you intend to take? I take prenatal, Vit E, Vit B, Vit D, DHEA, and Omega 3-6-9. I'm thinking about adding Ubiquinol and Maca. Oh what fun this egg health stuff is!

Hi all! Can I join? The short story is that I am turning 43 in a few days, and we just decided to try for a third! I have a 6 year old and a 15 month old, both boys, so I kind of hope for a girl. But would love another little boy too. I have had miscarriages before each child, so I am nervous that there will be another... if we can even have another child. I wonder how long it takes... with my first, when I had just turned 36, it took just one month, with my second, it took 11 months, but now...? I am planning to go all natural, just tracking my cycle. No IVF, no vitamins other than folic acid, and just healthy living and BD

I had my first three children in my early to mid 20's. I had been divorced and met my actual soulmate at 40. He did not have any children of his own. At the wonderful age of 43 (without even trying) I was able to give him a son! My pregnancy was easy ( a little extra bloodwork due to my age) had him vaginally and with no complications! I am now 45 years old and this month my period was a week early, very light, my breasts are sore and my lower abdomen feels as if I have done too many situps. I am thinking that we could be on our way to baby #2 for us. I am going to test next week. Might even do it on Mother's day this Sunday just for S&G's!! Good luck to you all!

Good luck nole! Xx

welcome!

Afm, after 3 losses and Max being the biggest loss, we have decided to pursue our dream of adoption but NTNP. Our application has been accepted and our Home Study is just beginning. I'd love to stay here with all of you!

 

[mitchnorm]

Welcome driving and good luck

Nole fingers crossed for you too.

I am 43 in 2 weeks time and been trying for 18 months for number 2. DD is 4 years old. I've unfortunately had 2 x 9 weeks losses (one being a molar) and one 5 week loss all in the last 9 months which sucks. I fell pregnant first month with my daughter...still remaining hopeful.

Hi tag hope you are ok and coping x x x x x great news about adoption...lovely news

 

[Sunshine14]

Hello ladies x hope you are all good.

Welcome Coco, Driving and Nole and wish you all the luck in the world in ttc xxx I am running out of steam with ttc as been trying for 2+ years now and only managed a few chemicals, a mmc, an ectopic and a loss at 10 weeks after seeing a lovely hb. I'm turning 45 this year and not sure it will happen now. Interesting though as I moved house recently and registered with a new doctor and she asked me what contraception I was using and I said nothing and I had had mc's over the past couple of years and we were trying for a last baby and she said well you are still fertile & I said I don't think it will happen due to mcs & she said well under have 3 children & ur still fertile as though it would happen! Interesting to get those comments ....

Tag good luck with the adoption hope it all works out well for you x

Becks how are you doing hun?

Mel how are you hope ur well?

Hope ur well also ttc?

I am around O I think but not holding out much hope.

I keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I I am creeping up on 42 and I think it will happen for noth of us!

AFM - I'm 1/2 DPO. So, I'm just beginning the TWW. It's been an interesting month with all these supps I'm taking. No O pains, but I have had a ton of EWCM and desire to BD. So, hopefully it's a good sign for a strong O. All I can do now is wait.

 

[Sunshine14]

Ahh thanks ttc that's so kind x good luck to you this month hun - we need some good news & sticky healthy beans on this thread xx

 

[Oasis717]

Carmel thanks for passing on what your doc said, as you know I'm in the same boat, turning 45 this year and 2.5 yrs of TTC and nothing but MC's and chemicals inc a 12 week loss after 2 perfect scans, I've all but given up I think there's a tiny part of me left that hopes but we have 95% given up, I've even changed my pre natels for normal multi vitamins, I know I o every month and I'm still fertile but like you I'm not expecting anything anymore, so sad! I've had two cycles of 11 lp after a 15 day lp, I think I will still track my cycle just out of habit and wanting to know if I'm still o, I wish it were better news for all of us! Xxx

 

[TTC74]

Have you ladies tried DHEA? The research on it looks awesome for ladies with low ovarian reserves (which includes those of us who are not spring chickens anymore!). I've been taking it for 2 months now (along with 7 other Vits and Supps!).

 

[mitchnorm]

Sunshine...always great to get a little confidence boost.

I am turning 43 in two weeks time.....trying for the last 20 months ish.....(have a 4year old daughter) but have had 2 x losses at 9 weeks after seeing heartbeats. One of those a molar....very stressful. And one mc last month at 5.5 weeks. I also had 2 CPs in that time. I remain optimistic but I have stopped thinking about it so much...what will be will be x x x

 

[lunamoona]

Hello ladies and welcome to all the new ladies

I'm 47 in July so this is really the last chance saloon for me, a part of me feels I have good cycles so it could happen but I have always had low fertility and struggle to conceive. On the good side I don't suffer the number of losses that many of you have had to deal with but without a BFP there is nothing to progress is there?

I'm not giving up yet but have had rotten health this year with virus after virus, I feel run down and now have a UTI. I need to give myself a kick up the bum as when I don't feel well I don't eat well, I've put on a stone of pure chocolate since Xmas

FX we all get our BFP soon

 

[Driving280]

Thanks all for the welcome! Before I had DS2, dr asked me whether I wanted to have my tubes tied at the C-section. He said that for most of his patients, would not be a big deal, but I was still fertile... Sort of nice to think about that now. Of course, we said no. I am sorry to read about the MC here... I have had two, and chemical and I was younger then... That is really my fear this time.

 

[Sunshine14]

Hello ladies x where did you all go to? I have been enjoying a fabulous holiday in San Francisco and not even thinking of ttc but how are you all doing?

Btw you should all keep this thread going even if I am crap at updating xxx

 

[mitchnorm]

Ooooh San Francisco how lovely ..very jealous. We've just had two week in Portugal in may...I was hoping for a baby conceived there but no joy unfortunately. Due to ovulate this weekend but I am away with our daughter....hubby staying home so that timing sucks.

Aah well maybe some early and late dtd may catch the eggy. Feeling a bit like giving up recently.....daughter starts school in September and feel like we are moving onto a new phase in our life. Sad but not aure how much longer to try for.

Anyone else feel like that? X x x
