Over 40 & TTC anyone in my boat???
Hi Everyone,
I am 44 this year and am TTC, I got married back in 2012 to my DH... We had a MC back in 2011.
I have 2 daughters for my previous married aged 20 & 16 with we love dearly.
I had been on the POP Cerazette/Cerelle for about 2 years and have hear so horror stories about not having AF etc...
Well I had been one of the lucky ones so far, I came off POP Jan 29th 2014 & O on the 13th.
Then on 15dpo AF came.
I guess I had mixed feelings as we are TTC but was still happy that we are in the game.
Anyone in the same boat?
Please share your stories

Welcome essemkay! I am 45 yrs old and also desperately ttc#2. My son is 7 years old.
Merenda - good news on the doctor front! YAY! It's nice to hear your optimism.
kcat24- this may be your month! I hope you get a BFP soon!
Currently I am on CD8 and getting my BD shoes on! This is my 3rd month on Clomid so that's all I have left before my doc calls it quits for it and sends us to a specialist. We don't believe in donor eggs either so are trying our best every month, but trying to have fun too! It's difficult when you feel your time is so limited...
& hope to hear great news soon!

Merenda... everything sounds good! Good luck!
Kcat24 - Stay positive (Thought your first message was cute, yes I tried to read it) Your info on test is great!
Karlou - this could be the month..... lead and we will follow!
BabyAngelG - Hope this is your month!!!!
Any word from Beaedhill? Hope you got that BFP this month!

EssemKay.... I'm in DC area. I had my initial work up done with Shady Grove. I did the clomid 3 day challenge test. I left feeling broken. The first words out of his mouth was DONOR eggs (my test scores are wonderful)! Because I wasn't receptive to the idea, they couldn't treat me (Age over 44) I went back to my Dr and did 3 months of clomid when he told me to get a second opinion, which I did. I think Shady Grove has a great success rate because they will only take certain patients.
I've now been with Columbia Fertility for 4 months and feel great. Please, think about a second opinion. Don't let anyone take your dream.
UPDATE: Dr. likes all of my tests for the last three months...everything on me is positive. He is not looking at dh. His sperm test came back at a 2 about 6 months ago. This means his swimmers are going in circles.. (told the billing lady, I have that effect on all men ). Dr. is wonderful and while I went in to his office feeling like I was a bit of a failure, I came out with a bit of hope. Are putting info through insurance to see if they will cover IUI, if not will stay with Gonal f and TI and keep hoping for the best!
Love and ((((((hugs))))))

I & my partner are 44. We want another baby. I had 2 miscarriages in 2013 before the first trimester was up. I have high FSH but the OB said my egg supply numbers etc came back fine. We do not want to do IVF. Looking for answers as to what others have done to do this naturally successfully. So anyone who has achieved our dream please share. Good luck and baby dust to each of you! <3

Hello everyone,
How is everyone feeling today?
AF is supposed to arrive Monday, not having any usual PMS symptoms. I am having lots of gas and bloating. Emotionally, I am in a constant state of annoyance. It's so bad today, my super friendly neighbor said hi, and it took all of my being not to give him the finger. What is wrong with me?
Hope everyone is doing well.
baby dust to everyone!
