Over 40 ttc, I KNOW I'm not the ONLY one!

I am 42, ttc and wondering if there are any other ladies out there wanting to share their journey. Doesn't -matter if it's your first or your 8th, would love to cycle with you! I am using opk, pre-seed, maca, and other vitamins. Have been told I have border line fsh and not much time! On cycle 2 ttc after a TR in March. Sent my bbt chart to Dr. and was told I was bd-ing too much! whoops! Will cut back this cycle. I am on cd2 and super excited for this round!

Hi, I'm ttc #5. I'm 9dpo and can't wait to start testing.

This is my second and final month of clomid. I used a number of vitamins this month. Too many to list lol.

Swimmom, it's the opposite here, not too much bd throughout the month but we get their during the fertile time.

hey mama at home! I would be testing like crazy! I am going to try to control myself this cycle though and be a little more patient. I'm excited for you!
How many boys and how many girls do you have?
I am on round 2 of clomid. AF was really really short this cycle so I may opk earlier than normal?
My twins will be 6 tomorrow! Fraternal boys. I have 2 girls, and 5 boys, and 4 step kids. :) DH and I got married in Aug. 2011 and are so excited to have one more! We both had cheating spouses and difficult marriages and are so blessed to have each other and this opportunity to have one more.

Hi guys,

I'm Liesa, and I'm 41 and TTC (naturally, at this point).

I have no other children.

This month, I actually feel like I've cracked it! LOL

So, I have just joined Countdown to Pregnancy because I was Googling symptoms of early pregnancy, and found this site.

I am experiencing lots of new aches and pains and am SO very hopeful that it's good news. I'm 6dpo, so too early to test.

Hi y'all, my name is Kimmy, I am 41 and hubby is 43. We have 6 children, 3 boys, then 2 girls and our latest lil guy just turned 1 on May 2nd. We decided that we wanted to try for one more so our lil guy would have a sibling closer to his age as well, there is a 10 yr diff between our youngest daughter and him. We have been trying since I got my cycle back finally (breastfeeding) about 4 mths ago, not sure what's going on, never had trouble getting preggo, all hubby has to do is sneeze and I'm preggo, lol. Last 3 mths I did get preggo but had early miscarriages at 4wks +. last mth used soy isoflavones which got my cycle straightened out, "O" earlier and it shortened my cycle a bit. am on prenatal vitamins, baby aspirin after "O" and just started Evening Primrose Oil along with Omega 3. This cycle going to try using Progesterone cream, since I found out it is possible that breastfeeding can lower my levels causing the miscarriages/chemical pregnancies.

hi there, i am 41 and half, 42 in july. i had a TR in Jan '09, and became pregnant april'10. we had our litl boy nov'10(day after thanksgiving) he was due christmas eve.i=we were told we had 20% or less chance because of my age at time (39). we were on our journey to IVF (dec'09) 8 months after TR. when our dr told us we didnt have the proper insurance for ivf 2 weeks before treatment was to begin. we were devasted, and upset. we cried then accepted it, and said we wasnt gona stress it, it will hapen when it happens.

that was march"10. my cycle came march 19th 2010, we went on as usual, then around the time i was to O (ovulate) which was march 30-4/6/10. we were trying to BD (baby dance), and my hubby couldnt get errected, he felt some pain. so we couldnt have sex. i called his urologist, and he was seen that thurs (4/1/10), the uro rx him cialis, and antibiotic. he took it that night, and we were able to have sex (he errected) nicely..LOL.. we cont to BD for the next 3-4 days, no problem at all.

my next cycle was due april 16, didnt show, i tested it was BFN. iretook test 4/19, and got my BFP!!! wen i went for sono that week i was 3.6 weeks. i went again following wk, baby measured 4.6, then again two wks later, i was 6.5 wks,at that time baby measured great and saw HB,

baby was confirmed and concieved on my hubby bday 4/2/10!!! hows that for inspiration???

dont loose hope, it will hapen, use OPK fertility monitor (clearblue) and track ur temps every moring before getting up, same time. lots of baby dust to you and me. i will O, hoping tmrw or mothers day weekend, im excited. my OPK are getting darker. keep me updated. how are ur temps?

Hello, I am 40 and ttc #6. It has been a hard two years. Two M/C and I wanted to give up. This month AF is two days late, but I am scared to test; I cannot stand the disappointment.

I think I have started to feel it is perfectlty ok if it does not happen again,but I want it so bad!

Baby Dust to everyone. Do not give up hope

Love hearing all of your stories! Very inspiring! I feel really good about this cycle, I enter my fertile period tomorrow, so I've got DH holding out and then we will BD every other day, since my dr. told me we went waaaaaaaaay overboard last cycle! I am 2 months past TR and also had a baseball size tumor removed from my uterus, so I have had alot of healing. I' am wondering if there is alot of scar tissue on my uterus from the surgery and from past c-sections. ? My dr. thinks we have a great chance still, so we are going for it!
For all of you waiting to test, I am the wrong person because i am a test pusher! I buy way too many online, because they are cheap and I am addicted. i can't wait to start opk's tomorrow and watching those lines get dark! Last month I O'd on cd 16 I think, I'll have to check my calendar. I have been temping also and I'm about a 97.4 every morning.
Hope you all have an amazing mothers day and look forward to updates!

OMG I so know what you mean Swimmom, I am awful when it comes to poas, lol. Already started my opk's today, (I know still early). But just HAD to do it, lol. I have tons of hpt's here as well but this time I gave them to hubby to hold on to, so I don't get tempted to start early again. I do have to say for some reason this month I am more at peace and relaxed, rather than stressing if this is going to be our mth.

Don't ever give up hope, our dr's told us, we only had about a 20% or less chance of conceiving and me carrying to term. We conceived our lil guy on the first try , how's that for inspiration :) he made his arrival just a few days before Mothers day last year at 39 wks.
