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

[dancareoi]

my lp has always been 11-12 (i was told by fertility specialist anything over 10 days is fine)and have 5 boys so know that's not my issue i'm thinking more my eggs,i needed clomid to help concieve my 1st ds but that was 11 years ago.

My consultant says at over 40 there is a 50% chance of MC, well my stats are showing 100% as I have lost 2 out of 2.

On advice from my acupuncturist I have tried to change my eating habits. Eat at least 2 eggs every day! Also each lots of spinach, kale and broccoli. Also to eat good quality steak, not overcooked.

I am assuming that the high quality of nutrients in these things can be passed to the eggs to help them!

I assume SA is sperm assessment - correct me if i am wrong

apparently acupuncture can increas poor sperm counts, have you considered this?

i saw my acupuncturist again today, I am CD6 so he now has something to work with. He wants to try and get me to OV sooner, around Cd 14 to CD15 insterad of the 18-21 I usually do and he also wants to increase my LP to 12 days.

He thinks my problems are hormonal!!

I am willing to try anything. As soon as I OV I can get intouch with hospital for biopsy for NK killer cells and then we can start trying again after that, sp probably start trying again next month!!!

hi adele accepted your friend request i have also just finished period now on cd 9,due to ov cd 13-14

 

[inkdchick]

So sorry Soontob... what is your doctor recommending? Will they do IUI or are they recommending IVF? Does your medical system off other accessible services like sperm donation, or embryo donation that you could access?

Once again I really know where you are coming from. We are getting our latest SA results on Monday & we should find out then what our FS will recommend...

 

[Jax41]

May I jump back on this thread with you all? Have been AWOL for a while

Soontobmrsm - please don't worry too much about the SA my DH's second one was dreadful, far worse than the first but his Dr said not to worry, have off days too, so if he does another then you never know it may be better again? I don't think we're going to take things further but I'm trying to get supplements down him to help, but he's an awkward ass and totally not buying into it And, there's a very well known lady on here whose DH had a totally bad SA and the next month she was preg so it just goes to show.... Chin up and big hugs

Maddy40 - good luck on Monday, hope your results show olympic swimmers!

Inkdchick - so nice to see you here again!!!!

Sugarsweet - I've not been TTC for as long as you (2 years for me) but I've not got one single BFP in that time, can't quite believe how I've got to 43 and never managed one Really hope that everything's being saved up for a super good sticky one for you!
