Running outta hope
So I think i can be pretty open & honest w/ you ladies - since were all in the same boat.
DH & I have been trying for 6 months now. Im 36 & DH is 44.
Ive been to the Dr a few times & he said all is working fine for me..... DH had a sperm count done a week ago & his count was above average but his motility was only 30%.......
We decided to take September off from BD--- im losing hope. Weve tried vitamins & i think we are BD at the right time (i use opk)
Can any ladies out there who have finally conceived give me some hope!! Or any other ideas lol...... ive had 4 previous children w/ my 1st marriage. ... thats why im so baffled as to why we are having troubles. My 1st babies were even twins lol......
thnx ladies & baby dust to u all

Oh dont give up hope just yet. Im 35 and I started ttc a cpl months after my 33rd birthday. It took us 18 months. In those 18 months I watched ladies in their mid/late 30's and early 40's get their bfp with next to no effort, all while I was doing everything short of ivf to see not even a hint of a line. Geez I could barely get an evap...who the eff cant get an evap, like c'mon!! Anyways, after 18 months, mass amounts of drugs/vitamins/supplements/bbt/opk/fertility monitors...I got my very unexpected bfp! Not a single issue with myself or the hubs, weve even conceived our son while on birth control and yet struggled with our girl. It sux ass, but it happens and theres only so much u can do about it.
Besides opk's, I highly recommend bbt, u may be O'ing a bit later than ur thinking. Preseed is great if ur low on fertile fluid. Softcups are great to keep the sperm up by the cervix and the undies dry. Vitamins for sure and only bd bidaily if he has lower motility. Dont give up tho!!

Don't give up, I tried for 6 years and got a bfp (dur to me not DH). If his motility is low you could also try a couple of iui's. Mine was only $1300. And like me you would need no drugs, no trigger. You could also get DH some supplements to increase his motility. As close to natural as you can get really
