Any TTC's in their 40's?

Question

First time TTC and I am feeling overwhelmed with all the tools and info out there.  Any suggestions on what to focus on?  From bbt, OPT, charting, etc. - it seems like quite the task.

Answer

Hi Lisa. I'm 42 and started TTC for #1 8 months ago. The first two months I just tracked my period as I've done for years but this time I started using the BBT. So it's hectic but I put my alarm about 10 minutes before I actually have to get up for work. Once I'm up I try to input as much information as possible. Then at some point in the day I try to check for CM. Which I noticed it was virtually missing since I took the pill for about 2yrs before. So it's good to track this things. The reason I noticed my CM was no good is because I had seen the stuff before and I had not noticed it was gone. How long have you been trying?

Answer

Hello! 
​40 (both of us) here ttc for 9 cycles now. Gyno pretty much said to me "I think your problem is your age". Referred me to a fertility specialist. Unfortunately my ins co won't cover her so I am on my own. Had a d&c last mo for polyps so am praying thus is still my mo. However I am 12dpo and a bfn I got this morning. :( and I have pms cramps.
