Hi all! I'm 43 (turning 44 tomorrow!), and my DH is also 43. We've been trying to conceive since we were married 4 years ago. I have 3 children from my first marriage who are 22, 18, and 16. DH does not have any children, and although he's happy being a step-father to my 3, we would really love to have a child together. We TTC for almost 3 years with no success and since then I've lost 2 pregnancies in the past year, the most recent one was last month, just a few days before Christmas. We're still going to continue TTC, but have decided to give ourselves a time limit of one more year, because this journey has just been way too stressful! I remain hopeful for a positive outcome though! Best wishes to everyone here!

 

[LLbean]

May you get your baby soon kitkat!

I know some of my friends think I am insane to go down this route all over again when my child is already in college and all BUT I recently got married again and my husband always wanted a child, and frankly I love babies too so here we go!

We are just now starting, TTC, and I am 40 (41 in May) Some say it is easier cause I already had one but...it was 20+ years ago! and that one was not planned. So in reality it is all new to me all over again. I go to Babies R Us and feel totally mesmerized at all the new things and improvements. This should be fun!

My periods are weird though....25 days, 28 days, 25 days, 28 days... Guess my ovaries are not on the same schedule LOL. I got the 3 day test done a few months ago and it says I had good reserves... getting my 21 day test (progesterone/ovulation) done on Tuesday to check that too. I am trying no to put pressure on myself cause I know it does not help but it is all so exciting that I can't help it. I would love to have another baby girl (or two ;-) at my age LOL)

I'm the same way. Met my new husband over 2 1/2 years ago and conceived right away, and he wants one more. I turn 41 on May 1. We've been trying for 1 1/2 year for our second one. Good luck to you. We don't know what is taking so long this time. He has been tested and so have I. Nothing's wrong with either of us. I guess it is just the right timing we are needing. Good luck.

Brutus we are now doing IVF... Last cycle now and lets see what happens.

Hello ladies

So IVF didn't work. So now we are back to NTNP in a way while secretly hoping for a miracle. I really wish it would happen soon...

Really wanting a baby again in my life.

Now with my new husband he has no kids and we really want to have a child soon as we are not getting any younger...and he would be such a wonderful father!

I hope we are blessed

Wow LL, I never knew that was you before, I wondered where Deinekatze had gone! You were here with GraceFace weren't you? What happened to her, is she okay, or is she under another name too??!!

 

[LLbean]

yup its me!!!

Grace is done TTC... She wrote this on Facebook

I wanted to let you all know that I am definitely not trying anymore. My hormones are all screwed up. I'm having a hard time focusing and have been very emotional - SO DIFFICULT to control, but the only one who has a clue that something is out of sorts is OH. Its probably perimenopause, so now I'm looking at different goals to set for myself. Again, I'm so glad to have met you ladies and been able to cheer you on! However, I must leave this behind so I can move on. I wanted a chance to let you all know you have a special place in my heart and I think of you all fondly and often. I'll be leaving the group in a few days, which will help ease the pain of knowing this is the end of one goal I could not control and complete. Hugs and much love to you all!

I miss her

 

[LLbean]

Sent her a message to see how she is but not sure if I will hear back

 

[peanutpup]

Although I don't really know her it is so sad when we have to come to terms with never fulfilling the dream of having another baby ....well you know like my avatar says I do believe in miracles!

LL you hang in there too your miracle is coming! I also read on here that your bday is in May--mine too! (but I am 1 yr older lol) so maybe despie, you and I will have those little bumps in May...you know it is really strange but I have a very strong feeling about this

Me too, I get more excited for everyone else around poas time but indifferent for me. It is so exciting to see someone trying for awhile finally get their BFP--guys would never understand the emotion girls go through for each other when this happens!

 

[LLbean]

oh yeah they have no clue LOL

 

[LLbean]

Jax, Grace responded, she is fine, focusing on her school

 

[Jax41]

Just caught up, thanks LL Really admire Grace's decision, I'm glad she's feeling happier

 

[LLbean]

yes she seems ok with it. I was saying it might happen now that she is not purposely looking and she said no, that they are purposely preventing it.

 

[LLbean]

still here
