pushing it here. anyone else over 45?

[heavenly]

Yes, I am still up and I have just ordered this book, keep reading rave reviews about it, anything to help!!


https://www.amazon.co.uk/Taking-Cha...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1327112781&sr=1-1

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

I have found that there is a good fertility acupuncturist not far from me and it's only £35 a session, which I think is pretty good!

Morning ladies ,I also don't smoke or drink but I am overweight and eat too much chocolate But I power walk for five hours a week I have four children and have been trying for six years for my fifth ,I have lost ten babies goins as far as 19 weeks I hope and pray you all get your sticky beans ,The she oak was recommended to me by a friend and it helps with evening out your hormones and helping you to relax and get pregnant ,it's Australian she oak ,I get mine from baldwins ,have a great day ladies ,

I still could do with losing a few pounds, I am chocolate mad too!!! Sorry for your losses but how wonderful you have 4 blessings and here's to having a 5th!!

Thanks Desperado I will look into the she oak. I know someone had mentioned macca earlier in the thread. Do you take that as well. I have been taking that for the last 2 weeks or so. Probably too late to do anything for this cycle but who knows. Looks like I o'd yesterday according to my temp this morning. I missed the opk as I only test once a day. Hopefully I bd'd enough????

Heavenly- how often do you go to acupuncture? I was going once a week but can't really afford that forever.

Haven't been yet but probably a couple of times a month will suffice, it will be very good for relaxation anyway but hopefully will help with fertility as well! I would still go even if I could only afford once a month, once is better than nothing! x

Thanks Heavenly. I will try to go 2 times a week but my acupuncturist is on mat leave until the end of the month. She got her BFP after 6 years TTC. She is only 36. It is not always an age thing as some would have us believe. Good luck with the acupuncture,it is very relaxing

My oh takes macca but ladies can take it too and I got a bfp after his first month of using it,he takes one a day and two a day the week leading up to o ,

 

[marathongirl]

Desperado- maybe I should get DH to take macca as well. For me I feel it had regulated my cycles after 2 chemicals and a MMC at 12 weeks. This is my first cycle using it and I haven't had the spotting that I had been getting which was abnormal for me.

Hi ladies!! I'd like to give you a bit of hope with my friend's story. She is 46 and 36 weeks pregnant at the moment with her first. If all goes well she'll be having her little one by 40 weeks the latest. She has had a mc back in April but then was pregnant again in June. Even though she's had many checks & scans during the pregnancy and all seems to be going very well.
What I'm trying to say is that it can happen and you should keep trying. None of us never know if it'll happen to us with 20 or 45 years old. It makes no difference. If it's meant to happen it will.



All the best!!!!

Well, I am on 8DPO, have twinges down the right side and am tearful and snappy, I think I am just waiting for the dreaded AF to appear.


Anyway, have a listen to this interview on Womans Hour, a poster from another website I frequent, Fertility Friends, was on it, telling everyone how it is!! The rising cost of IVF in this country, it's a good listen.

WOW!!!That's amazing. Thanks for letting us know.

Heavenly, take a look on the net, about IVF any method, with DE or not, but I think the best offer is in Spain, several clinics, because of your (and mine) age. I know for France, they do not accept women over 44, but in Spain they do) Good Luck!

Thanks hun, I have started looking into:-

Serum in Greece
Dogus in Northern Cyprus
And there are a couple in Spain

All have very good results and over on Fertility Friends, there are threads for these where there are loads of women posting on there who are being treated over there or have been treated over there, with great results.

Heavenly- Where are you in your cycle? How are you feeling?

 

[l8bloomer]

Before I was TTC, I was vaguely aware that my aunt (who's not much older than me and whom I had lost touch with) had baby #1 when she was in her 40's. I always thought she had IVF.

I have since found out that she had a natural conception. She had indeed started the ball rolling on IVF but got pregnant naturally before the procedure. She had the baby at 47!!! That was 3 years ago.

Wow...I'm excited!! I hear of women in their forties (like me) conceiving naturally but never knew one personally. It's really true!!! It can happen!!

Heavenly- Where are you in your cycle? How are you feeling?

I am 11DPO, AF hasn't turned up yet, but I won't be officially late til Tues, as my cycle varies, so it's frustrating but I won't test!!

How are you hun?
