Hi, im 42 and ttc my 6th. I have 5 children..3 older sons and two toddlers and this will be my last. Sadly i managed to conceive and got my bfp a few wks ago only to miscarry. Some days im ok, other days i miss being pregnant and feel really sad about it. Please post if you are in your forties and ttc and tell us all a little bit about yourself. TTC at this age brings so many ups and downs and frustrations...and of course happy endings too!!!!! So looking forward to chatting to you all.

Well, let's see.. I turned 40 in March and DH turns 37 in Sept. We have been together for over 7 years and married last Nov. Ive had 2 mc's had testing done that revealed i have an underactive thyroid. Im now on medication and the NHS have kindly agreed to do do more testing to see if there's anything else they can find although we don't qualify for ivf.

I have a cbfm Ive used for nearly 3 years (lost most of last year to testing (not allowed to ttc) and wedding plans). Found out i was pg in Jan and Oct 2008. Miscarried both 2 months later - had d&c with both.

I take a generic pre natal and also have epo and baby aspirin. Last month i went a bit crazy and bought both preseed and zestica fertility lubes, just for the extra help for the spermies, not for me...although i have no complaints, lol!
