Hi I’m 41 and TTC. Have been using opks. My husband and I bd on CD12 at 1am and then dtd again on CD15 at 3pm. Looking at the opks am I in with a chance for bfp this month? I got my first peak opk at 4pm CD14. We are really hoping that we will be able to have another child, but I know my age is against us. We had our Daughter when I was 35. In between I was very ill but now my health is better and my doctor said I can try, we have decided it’s now or never. Anyway, just wondered if this month we’re in with a chance. What do you reckon? Baby dust to all.
 
I'm no expert but it sounds like those are decent odds considering when you ovulated. When will you test?
 
I think I’ll wait until the day my periods due which will be next Sunday. Trying not to get my hopes up too much. I know that being over 40 is not in my favour. But fingers crossed . Thanks for the encouragement
 
Thanks everyone feeling quite disheartened atm. 8dpo now and trying very hard not to get my hopes up too much. Most of the information about being over 40 and TTC naturally seems to be quite negative . I suppose I’m hoping for a miracle.
 
I tested today which is 11dpo and unfortunately I got a bfn. Nothing at all. Feeling very sorry for myself now! Hopefully next month we’ll get our bfp. Thanks for all your support.
 
Just to give some hope here.
I started ttc just after I turned 40 and fell with this one just after I turned 41. I'm 42 in December.
I also did all the googling and it scared me so much with there statistics.
But here I am.
Lots of womon have babies in there early and mid 40s hon.
It took us 11 cycles to get here but it happened.
We did fall pregnant last year 4 times but unfortunately they all was early losses.
Good luck
 
Ah thank you so much for sharing your experience it’s very encouraging as I am feeling very overwhelmed by the whole situation of TTC with my age. Last month it didn’t happen and I’m hoping for a bfp this month. Having spoken to a few friends about this it seems that it often takes longer to get pregnant and unfortunately with some losses along the way. I’m preparing myself for that but it is encouraging as I know it can happen. So happy for you that got there, but so sorry to hear of your losses. Thank you for taking the time to write the thoughtful message, it was much needed today
 
Wishing you lots of baby dust for this cycle! Let us know how you get on x

I confirmed ovulation with opks and on 11dpo, 12dpo, 13dpo I had some brown spotting when I wiped mixed with cm and only once each evening, very unusual for me, I never have spotting before AF. I really hope this progresses, fingers crossed. I’ll test again in 2 days. Can you see the line? 6594CCC6-6C46-4CE2-82B6-609431E9322E.jpegE9356EAA-12BB-4E08-944D-3D27B48601B4.jpeg
