Any Over 40's Ladies TTC?

[prickly]

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

London...I really think it's just another chemical for me
Went to loo before, wiped (sorry tmi), faint pink and now crampy AF more....AF is on her way....wonder why I keep getting chem pg's!!

The fert specialist tested my AMH and it was ok for my age...she took all my charts and said they all show im ovulating fine....why?! grr

Oh no I'm so sorry

I really don't know much about fertility terms etc, so I'm sorry I can't give any advice.. There must be something up though, I would make another appointment with your doctor. A friend of mine had similar issues and had to have injections through her pregnancy to stop her body rejecting the baby. I will ask her about it and let you know. Of course everyone is different but sometimes, hearing what worked for others can sometimes be beneficial.

Prickly hugs honey I know we have all been there for sure. I do think if all tests are normal it is just a matter of time finding the good egg. I had 3 miscarriages and about 4 chemicals in 2 years in this quest for Ziggy do feel your pain.

Please come over and join the over 40 ttc ladies it is a shelter in the storm and everyone has open arms.

Bad luck, Prickly. I'm sorry to hear you've had a chemical - but keep hoping - if your AMH and tests are all good, as Miss C says - it's just finding that good 'un. xxx

Hi Prickly, hope you're ok. I spoke to that friend this evening. Apparently she has killer cells. Her immune system is too strong and fights off a pregnancy, so before her IVF she had progesterone for two weeks before implantation and then steriod injections for 3 months along with more progesterone. Might be worth looking into?

hello everyone i am new to this site.. i have turned 40 last month and we are ttc for more than a year now.. my doctor prescribed me 50mg of clomid and i've took it 5-9 days.. and also she gave me duphaston and follicare.. well after taking the clomid i have noticed an increase in cm.. i guess i ovulated earlier than expected.. and i just finished my 15 days of duphaston.. with follicare it is still on-going.. for the past couple of days i've been having cramps / pulling on my lower abdomen also i have been tired and sleepy.. i've also been having dry mouth feeling.. could it be that i ovulated early and that what i am feeling now are implantation symptoms? btw i am now on cd22 (my normal cycle is 28-32 days).. can anyone been through the same situation as me and find out later that they are pregnant and got their BFP?

Hi. I m 42 and although I already have four children, including twins, Im trying again with my partner. This will be his first. I am so frustrated as I never had a problem conceiving before, ie I fell straightaway. We have been trying since December, bought an ovulation kit last month and accordign to that Im still ovulating. How long do I leave it before going to the docs , just to check everything is still ok. Guess iM panicking in case I m too old.

 

[JLondon]

Hi.. Trying since December isn't that long really, and what makes you think the problem is with you? If you are usually very fertile I doubt much has changed, you say it is your partners first, the problem is possibly with him!

Statistics say the average under35 woman will take an average of 6 months to become pregnant and that it takes over 35 approx one year, so 3 months is no time at all if you compare it to that, stop worrying xxx

 

[lhendie]

thanks Reb S.. i will..

 

[crazymam]

when you put it like that guess youre right, its not long at all, think I am picking up on my partners worries more so than anything. Im loving this site though.

Hi ladies im 45 and have been trying for 5 years with my new partner, we have had 8 chemicals and 3 emmc i was told theat the chemicals are perfectly normal for our age group and had all the tests to make sure all was ok and yep all came back fine im still ovulating ok and was also told that it is just a matter of that ONE GOOD EGG !, but on the 7th of this month i had knee surgery on both knees and got my period two days after, on cd8 i ovulated and had the stretchiest egg white cm i have ever had ,(btw im have not taken any painkillers as i didnt need them), so i am now due for my period tomorrow cd24 or sunday cd26 so am a little excited as this is new for me but wont be suprised if period came on time as im so used to it. Bt if any of you ladies have heard that this could have just been down to the aneathetic i would love to know as i cant find anything about it on google x

 

[Miss_C]

GA can cause issues with blood clotting so MAY have some effect on your cycle etc, MOST surgeries that would involve any sort of blood loss are often scheduled between days 22-28 of a cycle (ideally) but not many hospitals have the luxury of this scheduling due to full wait lists etc. The extra ewcm could be from the fact that they would have super hydrated you via drip? Either way good luck and hang in there hon, you haven't been over on the thread for ages?

 

[inkdchick]

aw thanks hun i wasnt on any drip thank god and was only in day surgery on both knees which they filled with fluid to work on them through keyhole and now slowly on the mend and had a normal period two days after op day and now waiting to see if i get the next one doc recons that the novacane was out of my system a week after the op so just waiting to see if i now get this one lol and yeah i know i got a little down after turning 45 and not getting anywhere on the ttc thingy so now we are just doing it when we feel like it and seeing what happens as this cycle was so we'll see lol

I'm 41 my husband is 39. We had only been trying for about 6 months, then just went staright to an RE March 8th because of my age.. SA was "superman" strength. HSG all clear. Vag US perfect. Labs well within range!

So I just finished yesterday my first round of Clomid 100mg CD3-7
Go in for my scan on Monday to check follie size.

Going to be doing the deed today and every other day!

Hoping for a first try Clomid/HSG baby! I read so many first time success stories on here and I'm afraid my expectations may be a little too high, but heck, I can't help it.

(I have 3 daughters 24-22-21 from my fisrt marriage. Husband now has no children)

So far my fertility issue may just be my age..We shall see!

Prayers and baby dust to us all! Anxiously awaiting my first TWW

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.

Praying for yourprecious bean to stick.

Hi Beautiful People!

I just joined this site but have been stalking the symptoms for weeks. I could really use some wisdom here. Me (40) and my fiance (39) have been ttc #1 officially for 4 months now. I O'd on 3/21 CD 21 and we BD the day before and the day of.
On 6 DPO I began feeling this twinge in my lower left side close to my ovaries(?) since then the feeling has deepened and now feel close to my hip. My bb's have been sore and swollen since then too but yesterday and this morning I've had strange sensations through the sides and close to the nipples.
This morning my bb's are more watery but still sore nips and twinges. I was sure AF was going to start when I woke up because since we started this my cycle went from 26 to 24 days. Today makes it 10dpo too. Low and behold there was blood in my CM. I figured I was out and popped in a tampon and went about my day. a couple hours later and just a drop of brown (sorry tmi) with a little red. I took a test with FRER and BFN? tonight there's no trace of AF.
I'm so confused...

 

[inkdchick]

well the extra long stretchy ewcm wasnt any good sign at all this cycle coz i got af on the day it was supposed to so at least i know the anesthetic is now out of my system and hasnt upset my cycles so all good but i am not going to be trying anymore i think for me now at 45 is time to stop x but good luck to everone on here trying and really hope your wish comes true xx
