TTC 30s/40s Club

[curlew]

Hi folks

Wondering if I could join you. I'm fairly new to B&B and am currently trying for a bambino with my partner.

Bit of background partner is 41 and I am 40. I have a 5 year old son by my ex-husband and partner and I have been together for 2 years. Previously had two missed miscarriages in 2003 before I had my son and had an ectopic diagnosed early this year in March 2009 which ended with my left tube being removed.

I have always been quite lucky in the past with getting pregnant but have a problem holding on to my little beans. My cycles are also a bit erratic at present as the first one since my ectopic was 28 days, cycle 2 was 26 days and the last one was 25 days. Am going to start charting this month to give us a better chance with my cycles being a bit dodgy and also with only having the one tube now.

Hoping to get to know you all a bit better. CD1 for me today.

Good luck to all.

Hi Scarlet,
Welcome, and good luck in ttc.

Nessie, that must be weird after 8 years, good luck in job hunting, are you able to take it easy for a while or do you need to work straight away?

Banshee, our cd are about a day appart, the day i said cd was tomorrow i came on! take it as cd 3 for me.

Well quickest visit from again, I usually spot for 5 days b4 then visits for another 5 but no spotting this month and already starting to go, don't know what has caused the change but its much better! The only thing i have taken is pregnacare plus perhaps something in that?

Anyway, time to go,

Have a great day all,

Don't know what day I usually ov on as last month was first month monitoring temps and cm. CD16 seemed quite late but we'll see what happens this month...

I was going to try and do opks this month but we're on holiday next week which is right when I'd need to be doing the opks and I don't know if I can be bothered when I am supposed to be off enjoying myself. Maybe I'll just rely on temps this month to detect ov and hope for the best

Hi Ladies

It is nice to have an age related forum as I was beginning to feel a bit of a dinosaur with all the whipper snappers!! Lol My Husband Marc and I are both 36 years old and we already have 3 children (14,11,5..BBG) Around Christmas time I started to feel decidedly broody again and by Feb we decided to hell with it we will have a go at having a last child to complete our family.
Little did I realise how much harder it is to fall pregnant in your 30's. My first child was conceived the first night DH and I met! Our second son took 2 months of trying and our daughter was a little surprise so I ahev never had to go through all this palaver of opk's and bbt's etc so it is all a bit mind boggling at the moment.
I usually have a cycle of between 30-32 days but last month AF did not arrive until day 38 so I am trying to chart my cycles for the first month now.
I am looking forward to talking to you all. Is anyone else due to test around the 28th July?

Good Luck to you all

Hi All,

Hi Emma,
I am 36 as well, I had my youngest of 4 Jan 08 and it took us a few months to get pg that time, I had my coil removed 3 months ago, and doing opk's this month, know what you mean about it all being new, I always joked that my husband only had to look at me to get me pregnant!
Hope you get your bfp soon!

Ness,
What is wrong with hubbys back? Its a nightmare when you are ttc! There are other ways and means, you on top? My friend said if all else fails use the turkey baster!!
Good luck tomorrow with the specialist

Banshee,
I was in 2ww on hols so didn't drink or go crazy at the theme parks, when arrived I had a bottle of wine!! (It did last 3 nights tho!!)

Anyway in boring bit at mo, nowhere near ov testing yet!
My opk's arrived yesterday so had a good read of it all, going to start testing day 11 I think, worked out the kids are away the weekend I should be ov'ing, yayhay!!

Well time to go, my quick fix of pregnancy talk is over for today!!
