Any Over 40's Ladies TTC?

[michele1112]

I'm 42 and ttc#1 I love my other over 40 ttc board, I know this one will be no different. I assume there is still some space??? How would you run out of space I wonder?

hi guys

I turned 42 recently and I am TTC. Well we are about to start TTC. I wanted to c a specialist first to et some feedback and I did that today.So I am going to diligently take my supplements and I asked for a script for DHEA which I received so I will start taking that as well.

I am looking forward to hearing how everyone is going. I am really nervous to be honest

Alexp , thank you so much for your post i am 45 this christmas and have had so many early losses that i had decided to give up altogether but when i met up with my friend in Rome ( she is a homeopathic chemist), she put me onto SHE OAK and i have now been taking it for 2 months now and im now a day late for af with a high cervix(which is normally really low ) no cramping at all unless its gas which i seem to have a lot of and diarrhea which seems a bit weird but hey so not sure if im pregnant or not but seems that i have to wait a bit longer to test as it seems to early as a tst came back neg this morning OH was a bit upset as he has no kids,( i have two from my previous marriage) and he is 47 so feels like he is never gonna have any. You have given me so much hope and i just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU ! xx

Also want to add something which may encourage....my wee gran had her 8th child at 41, 9th child at 43, 10th child at 45 and her 11th at 47. She had 1 miscarraige she knew of in her 40's, but went on to have all of them.
Not sure about my other gran, but I'm told she had her youngest in her 40's too.
Chin up guys, if they could do it back then when times were harder, health and diet was poorer and no fancy tricks then there is hope for all of us! x

I am 45 and TTC with my new husband. I have two children from a previous marriage (girls ages 11 and 13). We conceived without trying back in April of 2009 but unfortunately that ended in MC. We got married 7/2010 and have been trying since October of 2010. We want to stay with natural/alternative solutions so right now we are both taking Maca for about 2 weeks, and chinese herbs. My cycles have always been regular and I o every month. Just waiting for it to happen! Right now I am 4 or 5 dpo. (and a poas addict!) Here's wishes for all of us in the same boat!

hi there, I am 42 and TTC#1. Sending out all my best wishes to the ladies on this thread We have been trying for about 5 mths. Well probably only 2 of those times really as my partner has been away at the wrong time w work on a few occasions.

I tried an ovulation test for the first time this month. I really hope it works at least we know we have timed it correctly this time. I don't know why but I am finding ally his attention to my cycle etc kind of stressful. Its the waiting and not knowing if its ever going to happen thats difficult to take I think at times. I am wholeheartedly optimistic for us all though) after all it only takes one egg and one sperm I mean how hard can it be

Hi,

I'm 40, have been TTC #1 for two months, and I got my BFP yesterday at 11dpo I wasn't going to test but decided to as I had a bit of a funny feeling but other than that no symptoms apart from crazy dreams and waking on and off through the night and then very early in the morning, not like me!!

It's early days so just keeping fingers crossed that it wants to stay.

Wow! Great news, it's so wonderful when one of us 'more mature ladies' gets our BFP. H and H 9 months x

Could this be it???

Well ladies, AF is due tomorrow and since yesterday I have been feeling sporadic tingling / mild AF crampy sensations....I usually get AF style mild cramps a day or two before me period, so I thought I was out this month...but the boobs tingling never happens....except when I have had chemicals in the past....so this is what my cheapie internet test came back with....I left it on the window sill, read it between 5-10 mins as directed and there was nothing...zero...not even a faint line...so I put the test in the packet, intending to put it in the bin.
5-10 mins later I pulled the test out on way to the bin...so this was over the 10 minute maximum validity period for reading results according to the instruction leaflet...and this was what it showed....

What do you think? Am I out?

 

[JLondon]

I'd say that's a positive for sure!!

I'd done loads of those internet cheapies and never got a line like that, even after the time limit. Plus you see how dark my line is on the 25mIU test above, well on the ic it wasn't that dark, even though the ic is only 10mIU. Those cheapie tests are cr*p in mine and quite a few other ladies on here's opinion, I'd bet you'd get a darker line with any other test!

Well done, really happy for you, happy and healthy 9 months
