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 everyone. I am glad I found this discussion again! Here's my story...I'm 41 and DH is 41 also. I finally got my on 8/20/12 (DPO 9) and had them all week - through 8/25 on FRERs and CBE Digis. On Friday, I received my beta results and had a measly 8 MIU.

Yesterday morning, I was greeted by . Note: This was 16 DPO - so was actually only 1-day late.

I scheduled an appointment with the OBGYN and will see him this afternoon; however, I just took a CBE Digi and a FRER and they were both negative. .

This has really been a roller coaster ride - but one of those scary ones where you bolt for the exit when it stops! I want off this ride and want a smooth journey next month or the month after!

Although it didn't work out, the feeling of getting a and all of the dreams I had in that week makes me want it even more now!

Im not sure if im responding to the right post but it is very refreshing to read these posts. I joined this site a couple months ago. Im 42 and have recently remarried. I have 5 children from previous marriage and my new husband is younger than me with no children. He would like to have a baby...so here I am. Have been trying since June with no success thus far. I am starting to get frustrated :(

Hi Ladies,

I am TTC #5 at the age of 41...soon to be 42 in April. My husband had a vasectomy reversal and does not want us to go down the road of using fertilityUser Image drugs, ivf,etc. We did do one round of IUI--that was the most I could convince him to do. It's been about 14 mths of TTC since the reversal and it has been really tough!! I used to get pregnant fairly easily in my 30s but times have certainly changed. I have had blood work done and all looks good-just old eggs I guess. Good luck to everyone! :)

Hi Luckyrobin! I'm not sure if this page is active or not. I haven't seen posts in over a year, but I got a notice in my email that there was a post...

I'm 42 and had a baby last June after trying for 16 months after my husband's reversal. I started taking supplements, using OPKs, and PreSeed two months before conceiving. I'm not sure if it was the combination of all of those, but it worked, and can work for you!

Maybe someone else will respond and direct us to a more up to date page.

luckyrobin, have your husband tested for sperm antibodies.

From WebMD: "If there are sperm antibodies in your semen after surgery, your partner is unlikely to become pregnant. In such a case, you may wish to try in vitro fertilization with intracytoplasmic sperm injection."
