TTC 1st child 35+ (Please spoiler any PG news/announcements).

Twinkle, I'm so sorry that AF showed, she is always MOST unwelcome. However, like everybody says, at least you can have a drink on your birthday. I know it's not what you wanted, but got to look for the silver linings, I guess.

Lots of love to you, and hope that you are spoiling yourself like mad-you deserve it!

Yes Twinkle, hit that and those with a vengeance while you still can and have a lovely birthday on Friday . Well done on the run, I am trying to just get as far as walking for 20 mins a day right now so good on you


Ladies thanks for the verification of the 'do what you have to do' lol. It's not something I have done since my twenties but I think I will have to just see if I can still do it

Happy Birthday, Twinkle! 37 isn't too bad. Age is all in the mind. I refuse to feel old.

 

[Lady H]

Happy Birthday for Friday Twinkle, make the most of being able to celebrate!

I know how it feels, I will be 40 (!) in June and that damn clock ticks louder by the day.

 

[lavalux]

Go for it, Butterfly!

Twinkle, Happy early birthday.

Dwrgi, I love your avatar & especially the story behind it. I have a very soft spot for animals, but horses in particular as I used to ride a lot as a child & my mom's family had beautiful horses in Kentucky. I haven't been on a horse in years, but want to volunteer with an equine program that rescues abused and malnourished horses, then eventually trains some of them with the proper disposition to help in the therapy with special needs children.

Hi there, I hope you don't mind me "butting in". I haven't been on here for a while.

Briefly, I am 42 & my OH is 46. We have been TTC for 5 years and I had a MC in 2007 at 12 weeks. We have both had tests and I've been on Clomid and Tamoxifen. We don't want to go for IVF or IUI etc. I went on another forum and got told by a lady on there that there was no way I would ever get pregant naturally due to my age etc.

I know I'm probably hoping for a miracle to happen but am I fighting a losing battle here? I don't want to give up TTC just yet. Is anyone else TTC naturally like me at my age or am I the only one?

[Butterfly67]

Hi Sarah, no you are not the only one at all and of course it is still possible to get pregnant at your age - there are a few over 40 ladies pregnant right now on this forum who have conceived naturally. You have already shown you can conceive (so sorry for your loss ) so it is possible.

Wishing you lots of luck and you will find lots of support on here

 

[Sarah69]

Thank you - I had such a negative reaction before it really upset me. But I feel better being back on this forum. xx

Baby forums are just like wedding forums. Some have good people and others seem to have negative nellies. I'm not over 40 yet, but like butterfly says, there are definitely people over 40 on this board and several are pregnant so it can happen. I hope it happens for you soon!

 

[twinkle1975]

Sarah - we're never nagative towards others here (I don't think!) - we all try to be as supportive as possible & help pull each other up if we're feeling negative ourselves. Glad you're with us xx

Sarah, why were you on tamoxofin? My mom took that when she had breast cancer.

I just read a book over the holidays called Inconceiveable by Julia Indichova. I highly recommend it. She conceived natrually at 43 after 7 specialist told her there was no way she'd conceived on her own. Also her FSH was sky high. She made a lot of changes in her life but it paid off. I was in a low place too where my RE told me I should use donor egg. Reading that book made me believe in myself once again. Since you don't want to do IVF, I highly suggest you read that book. I couldn't put it down.

 

[purplelou]

Hi Sarah and welcome to the thread/forum I am 39 (almost 40) and we are trying natrually too. we have decided assisted conception os not for us (although I am incredibly nosy about what the other ladies here are doing with IVF etc etc (and it's so fascinating!) I know that there are several ladies here that have gotten their BFP and sticky bean in our age group

 

[purplelou]

Missy I have a feeling that Tamoxifen is sometimes used like Clomid, there's another med called Femara (?femera) which is also used in fertility treatment AND in breast cancer!)

Oh what in the world? She sounds like a rude little beast. There are obviously tons of women on this site alone who have gotten pg naturally over 40, and if you're on Clomid you have a little additional boost in chances anyway. Try not to worry about it. I wish I could kick people like that

 

[Sarah69]

Sarah, why were you on tamoxofin? My mom took that when she had breast cancer.

Hi Tamoxifen is used as a fertility drug too as it increases ovulation.

Thanks for the tip about the book sounds like a good one and I'm interested in what supplements to take to help with TTC. X

 

[Sarah69]

I just wonder why if I got pregnant (I know it's a while ago now) why, oh why hasn't it happened again?? It is so frustrating.

I am 43 in May and we will keep trying until then and I think we'll re-assess things then. Thanks for your replies, much appreciated and I'll be hanging around......... xx

 

[Asryellah]

Sarah, I'm sorry you had to go through that. LTTC is hard enough on its own without people putting you down. But welcome to our group, wont happen here!! And surely you're not too old, and have conceived in the past so somethings just holding you back now.

MissyT- I ordered Inconceivable today! I cant WAIT for it to come so I can get my hands on it!

What utter cr4p! You are still OK to conceive, just google celebrities who had babies at forty or later. If you believe it will happen it will. I bet that woman had a bucket load of kids and does not understand how hard some of us are trying for one. All babies are miracles and we all deserve one.
