Question

Any tips for conceiving in my 30's??

I am a 33 (34 next week) mother of three. My fiancé is 32. We have been trying to conceive since November and last month had some symptoms and a 4-day late period, so we were in high hopes. Turns out, it was just late. I am now on my period again and just getting discouraged. Does anyone have any tips on conceiving for this next cycle?

Before I could suggest anything to try, I'd need to know what you've already tried. Are you temping? Checking cm? How are you tracking your O date? Have you tried Pre-seed? I know lots of people who swear by it. Also, if it goes another month or so with no BFP, I'd suggest making an appointment with your doctor for fertility testing just to rule out any problems.

I started to record my BBT this last cycle. I have some ovulation test strips, but I do not believe they are working. We try to make sure to have sex at least every other day (if not every day) during my fertile window. I just read about drinking Green Tea twice a day to help my conceiving.

I am 38 and have been TTC for over a year. Finally sought a fertility specialist and it seems my eggs are fine and DH sperm is fine but my uterine lining is somewhat thin and my CM is so-so....so this cycle we did a trigger shot and IUI to bypass my cervix and put the 17 million good sperm straight into my uterus. I also start 200mg progesterone daily for 2 weeks. Praying we get our BFP this cycle!!!!! Good luck to you!!!

Hi, I also started ttc when I was 33 and finally conceived when I was 34. It took me a year. The things I did were ovulation testing, conception vitamins for me and hubby, and regular sex. Initially we kept concentrating around the fertile window but then we went to see a specialist and I was diagnosed with low progesterone and put on clomid, also the specialist suggested we try as soon as the period got over and continued through out the cycle every alternate day till the end of the cycle. Other things I did was lose 8 lbs as I was slightly over bmi and had heard weight loss can help with conception. Hubs also had a sperm check done and it was normal. Hope all the info helps. Good luck and baby dust to you!

So I did find out this month that I ovulate earlier than calculated. I was calculated to ovulate on the 30th or the 1st, but I actually ovulated today. I will keep trying and if I don't conceive by September, I will see a specialist for further results. thanks everyone for your input!!

Hi I'm 35 in June and we started TTC 2012 and not bragging but number 4 first 3 first try 4th the 4th month TTC. I had the first two really young while in nursing school and are teenagers now and had our 9 year old son I was 26. And 29 with our almost 6 year old dd. So we said let's try one more time. To my surprise after 6 months TTC being a nurse and having symptoms I new somethings wasn't right. My ob:gyn said oh try another 6 months wish I didn't listen to her. At 1 year I still wasn't pregnant so she did all the tests their can be done. And I found out I had Pcos hypothyroidism high prolactin endometriosis fibroids in my uterus. I was devastated. So another year I just kept TTC she put me 6 months on clomid. Then I got fed up went to see a fertility clinic. And tried iui's more then I can count. Injections every treatmeant I did it natural to everything. Then oct 2014 I got pregnant and had a mc and said this is it I'm doing Ivf so the month b4 we started Ivf.

I came across soy isoflavones and my husband took coq10. Let's just say the 3 years TTC the only way I could tmi have sex was using preseed I never got ewcm I never got watery cm. so we lived on preseed well. I googled soy isoflavones and said hey never tried this. So ordered it off amazon and took it like clomid it's like a natural clomid. I took 100mg cd 3 to cd 7. When I was lucky to ovulate I would always ovulate cd19-23. So cd 16 I tmi went to the toilet and tmi I wiped and I had so much ewcm it filled my hand honestly I was like whattttt. So my opk's always were bonkers pos or close to pos every month for days to weeks. That soy cycle I got a blazing pos opk on 5 different brands test darker then control line: so fr cd 16 to 19 loads of ewcm. And more ewcm more chances of getting pregnant it's a fact. So cd20 I ovulated my temps cd 21 rose and I stopped temping at cd27. And day of ovulation ewcm started to dry up and cervix started to close. By the way no preseed that month

Also that month we bd 11 days straight fr cd 12 to cd22. 8 dpo took a frer and seen the most vvvvvvv faint line but said no way. So 11 dpo at 1am i had one frer left. I went to the washroom took the test with no hold. Waited 10 min I never in my life waited that long came into the washroom and when I looked two dark pink lines I almost fainted. Our baby girl is 9 months old but was born 31 weeks 5 days. Big girl for so early 5 pounds 15 oz. the doctors were in shock they thought under 4 pounds prob 3.5 pounds plus girls are smaller. Fertility friend has stats of women taking soy TTC and they give up to 77% first try to 3rd try. Gl Hun and lots of baby dust. It even says if you have Pcos don't take soy well I know over 25 women I met online with Pcos that got pregnant within 3 months
