Age 40 40+ and Trying for a Baby TTC

Hi, I am new to this site and have just starting to use the trackers in an attempt to keep sane whist TTC. I am looking to make friends with women in similar circumstances and hopefully a cycle buddy! Thanks - Debs xx

Hi Debs40,I'm a young...42 and would like to ttc in the immediate future for my #2-I had  my dd a year ago.I am still hesitating maaaainly because of the stress that a very possible amnio at my age will cause me- I lost my first baby because of an ill-performed amnio.Still,I think I am going to give it a try...are you thinking ttc naturally or assisted reproduction?It's amazing you already have 3 kids and still have the energy to try again!
Good luck,keep posting.

Hello and welcome! What kind of treatment are u starting ie IUI/CLOMID?  IVF?

Hi Nylena - huge congratulationons on your bundle of joy. I am really pleased you are going to think about giving baby #2 a try. I understand your anxiety with the amnio and was really shocked and saddened to hear what happened to you. I would hope given your concerns and past experience that you will be treated with caution if it was deemed necessary to have another amnio. I have just started a course of Clomid as it seems my cycles are a bit messed up from my miscarriage last year and am on cycle 2. I dont like it very much, makes me emotional irrational and prone to mood swings which is completely out of character for me as I am usually very focused and happy. I am happy to take it though if it increases my chances of pregnancy... no pain no gain! I don't know if I would call me amazing having 3 kids and wanting another - maybe crazy! Good luck with your decision I would love to keep in touch and see how it goes & will be keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx

Hi silvermist517. I have been started on Chlomd 50g. All went well last month took CD5-CD7 and ovulated on day 16 with 31 day cycle. This month I have taken a few days CD3 to see if I can produce more eggs and increase my chances. I hate having expectations as dont like the disappointment it brings but am keeping my fingers crossed! How about you - are you on any fertility treatments? Deb x

I'm 43 and just finished my first round of clomid, just waiting to see what happens.  I'm having some cramping so I think maybe this month is not the month.  Is it normal to have cramping after ovulation with clomid. I have faith, what should happen will happen.  Blessings to you all.

Hi, I have only had one cycle with the clomid & this is only my second so am not as expert as lots of the girls on here but for me personally I do have cramps with the clomid. I am CD8 today and have some lower side cramps. I don't remember having any after ovulation but they came back like little twinges 2 days before AF arrived. Good luck to you... sending you lots of babydust xxx
