Is there anyone who is in there 40's ttc?

have just found out tonight and still cant believe it coz of the cramping im getting but aparantly its nothing to worry about bloody typical seeings how i gave up taking everything i was on two months ago even the folic acid which id been taking for nearly ten years and now we've done it, my hubby recons its because he started drinking bottled water 5 months ago as we had read somewhere that there are so many vitamins and minerals in the tap water that a filter cannot get rid of that harm sperm and look what happened unbelievable and so happy even though im trying not to be as its so early x

Omg omg :dance::dance::dance::wohoo::wohoo::wohoo::wohoo::wohoo:really excited for you ,:hugs::hugs:
 
Donna I'm crossing everything for you hun, I know its been a hard road to travel but I pray that lil frosty is a strong one!! Don't lose hope.. Keep that chin up and think positive... Were all here for ya... Got to keep the faith... I've lost a few myself... Its a pain no one can describe its beyond crushing...

I'm 44 and have been through the emotional ringer myself, its so devastating when you go through all the motions and then .... it happens... :(

I'm going to try again matter of fact I'm OV today and I'm waiting for my OH pain in the butt to get here.. Going to try preseed this round... I hope this is it..

Donna keep us posted... I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers :flower:

Will be thinking of you ,go easy on your poor hubby :haha:I think tonight and tomorrow will finish it for me ,thank the lord ,:haha::hugs:
 
mrsp thank you for the dust i really need that right now got mild cramping on and off but im ok.... as for you you really need to see the fertility specialist and get some help.. i have been trying for 6 years 9 emmc and everytime they told me it was the menopause and i was too old i was 39 to 42 at the time and since then have had 2 earlier mmc
's and so stopped taking everything even folic acid, so for the last 4 months have given up alcohol only drink decaff coffee cant drink tea at the moment but thats ok and well only drink bottled water including in the kettle, my man only drinks bottled water too and had cut down on the wine which was huge for him he's italian lol , even tho we havent had a +test i dont care coz i know whats going on but i have no-one i can go to professional wise as they have all turned to me and said that i am too old so when we do find out which may have to be a private practice then i will be able to post on here that we are finally pregnant but until then i cant say for sure as im 45 , 46 at christmas so we will have to all wait and see but i tell you when i gave up taking stuff that was supposed to help or boost or encourage and it didnt work for over 5 years i suddenly thought enough is wenough and did what i wanted and had what i wanted and just literally forgot about everything to do with trying and this is where i am now so watch this space and give it a go hun literally give it a go xxx

:hugs: thankyou inkdchic i cant see a fertility specialist has i already have older children so i dont qualify for any help and we cant afford to go private im also at that point where i dont take anything including folic acid i even started smoking again i automatically buy tampax with my shopping i think i have given up its so stressful its annoying knowing my body has conceived b4 but now wont work i really hope it works for you xx
 
wow wow:happydance::happydance: just read your update im so pleased for you xxx
 
Congrats! :happydance:

We took our first step on our IVF journey yesterday. I have to take birth control pills for a month :dohh: Isn't that crazy? Bahaha!
Then loads of medications, injections, labs,scans..So exciting, but also nerve racking :wacko:
We are shooting for a late July early August egg retrieval and we are using my egg! Dr says the chances of me getting pregnant are very good, but to keep in mind that it is sustaining the pregnancy that is tricky.
I love my RE/FS he's so awesome. Signed up for 6 cycles. 3 fresh. 3 frozen. Praying we only have to go through one. He says if the embryos look excellent than he will transfer back 2, if the look good he will transfer back 3.

My hubby and I have decided to video record this entire journey.
Well off to work.
Prayers and Blessings for us all,
~Angie

Super news!! Congrats!! Now its time to Relax and take it easy.. Im so happy for you! Its been a long journey for Ya, hope to be joining you soon :hugs:
 
wow, I've been away for a while. I'm so far behind on reading the posts, so I've jumped to the most recent and have give a big huge congratulations to inkdchick! Awesome!!!!! Wonderful news. Sustains our hopes and delights all of us to see a success among us. Wishing you all the best.

Angie, so excited for you, and also jealous. You're embarking on something that will significantly increase your odds of success. What a wonderful shot in the arm that must be (literally and figuratively)! Unfortunately, IVF is not an option for me (not covered by insurance, and can't afford it on my own), so I'll be following your journey and keeping you in my thoughts. Keep us posted.:hugs:

I'm taking DP to my new acupuncturist today. He wants to examine DP and prescribe him herbs to impove morphology. I'm hoping this goes well and that he's not a quack. His credentials sound great, but I have no way of verifying them. How do I know if he actually got a 6 year program medical degree from Sun Yat Sen Medical College? I'm just going on the fact that so far he seems very methodical, experienced, and very ... how should I say this without offending anyone ... very Chinese. Exactly what I was looking for. My first acu seemed like a valley girl. :nope:
 
There is hope for all of us - I know 2 people who have recently had babies at 40.

Daughter`s friend`s mom was 40 in October and she had a little girl in March at 40 years 5 months.

Someone else I know had a little boy in January at 40 years and 11 months.

Thank you Deco! Yes, we are on top of the world! We signed up for 6 cycles and the odds are 75 to 80% of pregnancy :) 25-30% chance of multiples. What a blessing that would be. I am blessed because I am a nurse at The University of AZ medical center and my RE/FS is a graduate from the college of medcine and excepts my insurance it covers about 80% :thumbup: God bless him. The only other specialist in Tucson does not take my insurance.

ps..injections twice a day in the booty or thigh..ouch!
 
i had my youngest at 40 in nov 2010,am now 41 (42 in july) and trying for baby no 6

Hope he is helpful unlike the last one:growlmad:
 
So just got a call from my medications coordinator at my RE/FS office.
Start BCP on July 8th-31st. Start stimming August 3rd. With a bunch of labs and scans in between and estimated ER on August 16th with estimated ET on 5th day or so from retrieval.
I know this may sound very strange, but my mom passed away August 28th 2008 and I just feel like August was the month that was meant to be for us

This seems to be happening so fast, but then again we have been trying to conceive for over 3 years, so I guess it hasn't happened that fast.:dohh:

I am so happy to have you all. :hugs:

Thank you,
Prayers and Blessings!
