Hi Everyone 
Found this forum whilst googling "positive LH surge after ovulation", does that say it all?! We are TTC baby number 3, and it is driving me insane
. Was hoping for some words of support here, because I'm on verge of giving up.
We conceived Harry aged 6 and Evie aged 4 first month of trying (literally). On top of that, we conceived a 3rd baby when daughter was 4 months old as a result of a one off "quickie" snatched between nappy changes and nose wiping!!! Sadly I slipped and fell at 6weeks in and lost that baby - tho am a believer in fate, and doubt I would have coped well with two small babies. Needless to say, to date conception has been scarily easy. Three years later, and we're struggling. We have now had 5 serious attempts, and nothing doing. I hve spent a small fortune on OPKs, and am so fed up trying to analyse the results, having purely functional, unromantic encounters with hubby and it all coming to nothing.
I know everyone will tell me that 5 attempts is nothing, and we were just lucky those first times - but let me explain why I am so jumpy. I have hit the magic 35 mark, my husband is 53, and I am terrified that in the last 3 years our combined fertility has dramatically dropped off the scale. I didn't want the age gap between our kids to increase any further, and neither did I want to be a new Mum at 40 (personal preference).
Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so how long did it eventually take to conceive? Out of interest, I used opks to conceive our daughter, and I got a definite surge (line thicker and darker by miles). This past 6 months the lines have at best been the same with no absolute clear positive - then after ovulation (fertile mucous) have continued to be reasonably positive - am worried now that I am not ovulating.
Any advice would be most appreciated xxx
