Newly married, older, TTC!

just got married in December...my husband and I lived in different states so I would be with him like every other weekend or few weeks...I just moved in with him on 03-03-17...so I figure we would have better conception chances now that we are together all the time...yay! I love him so much...well I am 43 and he is 52. He has a 24 yr old daughter from a previous and I have a 24 year old daughter and 18 year old son from a previous relationship...I do VERY MUCH PRAY AND HOPE TO CONCEIVE! I hope there are others in same category as us to.whom I can relate

You are not alone! I'm 41, will be 42 in May, and am TTC for the first time. I'm in my third month of trying. My fiance, who's younger (34), had a vasectomy reversal in December (he has 3 from his first marriage). We were fortunate to conceive our first try, but I miscarried at 5 weeks. No luck the 2nd month and may have potentially hit it this month....same symptoms as first time and I had the faintest of lines show up on a HPT but I had a temp dip this morning...so not sure if it's an implantation dip or if it just didn't stick and AF is on her way. My best friend just told me me today I shouldn't test every day or take my temps and that I should just "relax". I was hoping to share this aspect of my journey with her but she had her kids when she was younger so, as dearly as I love her, I'm just chalking her comments up to not getting it. So, I turned here and saw your post! <3 For me, doing my BBT and taking the tests does keep me calm and I enjoy the process. With my age, I'll likely do this once, and I'm hopeful. To me the anticipation of holding off from testing and not doing my temps is way worse. When that line first turns pink, no matter how faint, I want to see it and celebrate it. Oh, and ps, I just learned one of my good friends, who is 43, is 11 weeks pregnant with her 3rd child. So, we've got this girlfriend!!! I'm sending you much love and positive energy.

Hi ladies,
I'm 45 and naturally pregnant in my third trimester. It took me 21/2 years but I have other issues that I'm sure hindered the process. I also married late and had my first child at 38 and didn't think I'd be lucky enough to be pregnant at my age. I charted my bbt (how else can you be positive ovulation has happened? It also showed I had a short luteal phase) and used opk's so I didn't miss ovulation. I took vitex from cd1 to ovulation and it lengthened my lp from 8 to 12 days, I also took macca root as it boosts fertility naturally and is completely natural and safe.
It can happen and will happen so don't give up ladies, don't listen to negative people and follow your heart as it will all be worth it! Good luck on your journey

I will be 42 in may and have just started trying by IUI this time around I'm at 10 DPO and have charted my BBT from the beginning. My BBt seemed to stay at around 97.3 throughout my whole fertile window. Spiked down to 97.0 at ov. Then has elevated and stayed at 97.9 since. Is this a good sign I'm not sure. I'm glad to see others in the same age range as myself and wish for everyone a H&H one!

Keep on keeping on ladies! We've got this!!! I just got a VFP today after a chemical pregnancy last month and early miscarriage in January. We're hitting the target, just waiting for the little one's timing to enter the universe. Hopefully, this is it and the line keeps getting darker.
