44 and just got my BFP!!! TTC Naturally!!

I wanted to announce that I got my BFP  yesterday afternoon. I am 44 years young and have been ttc what seems like forever. I have 2 boys ages 9-13.I have been a member of this 35+ forum for 8 months now.
I tried clomid for 3 months and then decided to try with only natural suppliments. I took a prenatal vitamin,  Baby aspirin, and Folic acid. Then last month I bought Evening Primrose Oil and Vitex.I used EPO from cd1 till ovulation.I onlt was able to take a few Vitex just before I O'd.  I truly believe that it was taking the EPO that did it ,as I have had hostile mucus(dry or sticky) for 7 months now.The EPO changed everything.I actually had fertile EW mucus and my AF was alot lighter.It also helped increase my sex drive.
  I want to say THANK YOU to all of you wonderful ladies!!   Without all of your support I would have given up a long time ago. I believe that anything is possible now!!

Regarding EPO, there is also a great product called Udo's Essential Oil that is a blend of EPO and other great oils like flaxseed. I really love it and it tastes awesome on salads too. You can find it at Whole Foods or similar stores. It has to be refrigerated and it can't be used for cooking. I just put it in fruit shakes with some protein powder and you can't even taste it. Or on salads with some apple cider vinegar- so tasty! :)
