Hi I hope nobody minds me dropping in from TTC over 35. I am 42 so maybe this is a better spot for me? All I can say as that all of your women are amazing!! I have read the entire thread and have been close to tears a couple of times.
My story- ttc#3 for 7 months. I have a 9 and 8 year old. This will # 1 with dh. I had a chemical pregnancy in Aug/11. Fell pregnant next cycle which ended in a MMC at 12 weeks. Followed by a D and C. Next cycle another chemical which was Dec/11. I have had 1 regular af and am now on cd12 getting ready to o.
I'm just hoping that we all get our BFP's soon. I just get irate when people say that the reason I am having trouble conceiving is that I am too old. You women have given me great hope as many of you have had successful pregnancies in your earlier 40's. We all just have to stick together and believe and it will happen. Baby dust to all!!

Hello marathongirl 
so sorry for your losses and hope that you get a sticky bfp soon
Despie I might be tempted by the she oak (although in reality it might be too late for ttc) - where did you get it from?

Hi there.
Well I have just turned 46 and I have no children, so it's last chance saloon for me! TTC for 4 years naturally and am now seeing a FS privately who has put me on Clomid for 4 cycles. After that, will be looking at IVF, I try to stay positive, it's difficult though when everyone around you, friends and family all have children but I think a positive outlook will help!! Baby dust to you!! marathongirl

Thanks to Butterfly67, Desperado and Heavenly. I do feel like no one else can understand what we've all been through unless they have experienced it themselves. I am not willing yet to accept that I am too old to have a baby. Do any of you exercise a lot? If so do you think it has any affect on fertility. I have run marathons and done Ironman trialthlons in the past. I am not doing that now and am trying to just exercise moderately.I definitely need it for my mental health. Also what is she oak? Thanks to everyone and baby dust to all!

I walk a lot with my OH, it really keeps the stress levels down and we really enjoy it, along the beach and in the countryside. I don't do a lot of jumping around type exercise, I did when I was younger but nothing as strenuous as what you do!!
Getting OH to
as much as possible is wearing me out as it is!! 
Exercise is OK but not strenuous stuff I think that might affect hormone levels/stability not in favour of TTC.
Good general fitness is always body and mental good, just maybe lay off the marathons but you say you are not doing them right now anyway
Booze, cigs and poor diet (processed foods) are all bad for TTC, and that applies to partners swimmers too.

Thanks Heavenly! I know what you mean about trying to get DH. Although I have to say most of the time he's pretty keen! WE just need to stay positive and probably when we least expect it will happen.Where are you in your cycle now? I'm cd13 not quite positive opk,I'm guessing tomorrow so it's time to you know what

Thanks greens- I don't drink or smoke and I eat a really healthy diet so things should work out! I guess that's the hard part-when you feel like you are doing everything right and it's still not happening
I have also started taking co Q10 and macca as well as my multivitamin and EFA's.What is your story? I haven't seen your name on here as much as some of the others.

We don't smoke and I don't drink. OH is pretty good, he doesn't drink during the week and just has a few at the weekend.
I am on CD16. It's my first cycle on Clomid and I had a scan with my FS on CD12 and the Clomid is working, there was an 18mm follicle and a couple of other smaller ones. So the FS told me to abstain for the next 24 hrs, for better quality sperm and avoiding the chance of triplets!
My ClearBlue Monitor showed a Peak on CD13 & CD14 and I had twinges and creamy stuff, so I think I ov'd around then!! We are still until my OH goes to Scotland on Monday.marathongirl

That is an amazing book. My acupuncturist had it and I read it. It is very empowering. I'm with you on trying anything that will help. Do you get acupuncture? I really believe it helps. I got my BFP 3 months after staring it. It ended in mc but I don't think it can prevent the inevitable. Only our bodies know if a BFP is going to stick or not. Enjoy the book
