WTT 40 and Over

[RichTiger]

Hi All,

This is my first post. My husband and I were just married last year (I'm 40, he's 45). We're still healing from the loss of 3 close family members, so we've decided to wait until the 2 year mark to try to conceive (which would be May 2021), which will allow some time for grief and to get into a better mental space. This would be my first (although he has children from before our marriage).

Anyone else in the same boat (40 or over, WTT, first timer)? I plan to use this time to lose some weight, do some research on TTC, and get my home organized to prepare for baby. If there are others in this boat, how are you coping with the wait?

Fingers crossed for you

Hi hon
Im 41 in December and hubby is also 45.
We have been trying since February for baby number 4 but sadly had 3 very early Misscariges in April June and July this year.
Im having some blood work done this cycle for recurring Misscariges.
I've already had my first blood panel done and will be booking my second blood panel in for Friday.
We was going to give it one last shot this cycle but was told not to by the nurse doing my bloods. Something about the test results not being accurate if I was to fall pregnant again.

So my original plan was to start trying in Jan or Feb 2021 but we started a whole year earlier because of our ages.

Still no luck and now thinking of maybe holding off untill December and then try again or I mite start trying next cycle in October because we haven't had any luck so far and im getting worried all my problems are age related.
We have a son who is a year old so i don't really understand why we have had so many problems this time around.
Still haven't quite made my mind up yet if we shud try next cycle or leave it untill December/Jan.

Anyway congratulations on deciding to ttc next year. I just wanted to wish u all the best.
And welcome to baby and bump
