TTC #2 and 40+

I'm wondering if anyone wants to join me in being in a 40+ TTC#2 gang?

I have been up, down, and all around with this. Haven't had any tests, other than bloods with the doctor, which were all fine. Have been TTC this time for 3 years. First baby is now a 10yo boy!!

I have short-ish cycles, normally 25 days, have had one or 2 19/20days, and a couple at 31 or 31 CDs. But I am now suffering a 41 day cycle! I know it is so unlikely to be anything than a long cycle brought along by stress (it has been a stressful year), but I can't help clutching at straws and testing every couple of days. I just posted a photo in the gallery, as I feel like I can see something, and I never normally fantasise lines...

Would anyone like to join me in this crazy TTC at 40+ game! X

Hi there! I am TTC #2 too. I took a break from charting and stressing this cycle so I am just waiting for AF to arrive. Should be any day.

I've been TTC #2 for over a year...I have been approaching it much more seriously the past 6mos i.e. charting, using OV tests, taking supplements, changing my workout routine, basically doing everything I could think of to conceive. So now I just need a mental health break from obsessing. There are so many things I have been putting off or refraining from because of TTC that I am just ready to start living life again.

Maybe once I stop stressing it, it will happen anyway.

I'll join. I turned 40 a few months ago and have 4 children from my previous marriage. The youngest are 12. So and I aren't trying but we aren't protecting either. So. never had children and isn't sure he can (never been checked) I'm not using anything other than pink pad to track my cycles. This week is my fertile week so I am just starting the tww.

Hi Ladies!
We just celebrated 20th wedding anniversary.
No kids yet...
"If happens, happens!" is our motto!

This year I turned 41 and decided to start with IUIs; then I came a cross of this site that helped me a lot during TTCs and actually educated me about lots of things that I was not aware of. Must tell you it gets very stressful with all those Negative tests!

My cycle is 28 days; and so far we had 4 IUI's. This cycle we paused with IUI due to business trip next week; still we are TTC till then

Currently I'm CD13/DPO1.

Wish you all the BEST and lots of and

Hi everyone!! Welcome, and thanks for joining me!!

I really sympathize with the desire to take time off from obsessing. I really hate the idea of obsessing over something that should be relaxed and a pleasure, and "natural", but it's quite difficult not to notice all the different feelings in your body, and wonder if they are "signs".

Well, I'm now on day 42, and got another BFN this morning, although I did briefly think I could see a line! Do you think First Responses are ambiguous? Do any of you have experience of this? I really felt tummy cramps yesterday eve, and thought AG would deffo arrive today, but no sign. And my boobs have gone from being really sore, especially nipples, to still being sore, but more in actual boobs, and a bit itchy? I also felt v tired yesterday, and a bit sick!! Oh dear, I must be fantasizing symptoms!

Well, that's my update! How are you guys today?
