Going for Number 2!

Was my question not answered because it was to personal?

Hi,

How old are you? I ask because we are TTC with #2 and I will be 41 next month.
We have been trying for 3 weeks straight and I have my cycle start this Friday. Praying that it won't come! Scared too as I hear there is a slim chance of conceiving naturally at my age!

Hi im checking in here late ..... I have 5 kids also .... My fourth born a week before I turned 40 and my 5th when I was closer to 42. The key is knowing exactly when you ovulate because at this age the egg is only viable for one day versus 4 or 5 days when you are in your twenties so your window of opportunity is very slim. Also make sure your husband is not going in hot tubs. You need to pin point when you ovulate also because having sex everyday depletes the amount of sperm it's better to have it every other day. If your taking your temperature then the day your temp goes up its too late. I did not know this when I was trying and thought it was the day to try. Hope this helps. Good luck
