TTC 40+

So, I’m pregnant! But I’m 40 and we tried to conceive naturally for 2 years, “unexplained infertility” despite of having a 13 year old… my first pregnancy was unexpected and totally easy but being a single mom was very hard.

Years later I found an amazing husband, we were so ready, everything “looked good” to add a little sibling but we just never got pregnant. Then, 3 days after I turned 40 we did a cycle of IUI knowing the odds were against us, after two negative home urine tests the blood tests came out positive!!! So I actually did get pregnant!! 5 weeks tomorrow.

However, It’s been such a roller coaster that I don’t feel confident enough to be happy. I’m worried about chromosomal abnormalities or miscarriage. I’m worried about losing my baby and spending a couple years trying again or realizing I will have to give up. I thought this miracle would make me immensely happy but it has brought me so much anxiety that’s hard to live day by day…

Am I seeing things

Not trying too hard but had first fun night after recovering from a procedure. Really felt a change in my body for even the enjoyment of my the experience. Those polyps I had affected me more then I knew. Anyone else ever have cervical polyps?

Hi I’m 40 I have two boys already but wanting another baby my dr says I shouldn’t try because of my amh levels. Has anyone had success with low amh?

Hello, I am turning 40 in two months, my partner is 35. We have been actively trying since March - BBT tracking, LH tracking, etc. using Natural Cycles App - my cycle is very regular but I recently had my fertility blood panel since we haven’t conceived yet. It seems as though everything has come back normal. My next steps are an HSG and partner getting checked. In May I had a faint positive, followed by bleeding a few days later. That was very sad for both me and my partner. I have been finding myself overwhelmed, depressed, and ugly crying every time I get my period. I know I’m not alone in the feeling, but I have no one to really talk to aside from my partner… it just feels so lonely. I was due to get my period a few days ago, I actually started bleeding and thought I’d gotten my cycle… but it ended pretty quickly. I have taken two pregnancy tests, both negative, not even a faint line. I have this impending doom sort of feeling that either my period is around the corner or perimenopause and it’s just weighing on my emotions. I’m hoping to connect with other women having a similar experience. I know everyone can use support.

Thanks for letting me post my thoughts here.
