and sorry for your loss I pray your TTC journey is a short one but all the ladies in this forum are great and a big help so feel free to ask question and vent anytime you need to
Thanks for welcoming me. I am feeling quite positive that it will happen. It's not worth stressing about it. All it good at the moment. Going to see a natropath next month, he is suppose to be one of the best here in the Riverland SA...So I will keep you posted.
I am sorry for your loss. I recently had my third loss and have done a lot of research on what can help with TTC and carrying to term at "advance maternal age". I have a few suggestions:
1. Try CoEnzyme Q10 with your daily vitamin regime. It is supposed to help with mitochondria (forgive my spelling), but the energy in the cells of your eggs. Apparently this slows down as we age. At any rate, it is said to be very good for your heart. Worth speaking to your naturopath about.
2. For Cervical mucus (which lasts longer in our younger years, but sticks around for less time each month in our um, mature, um years, drink 2-4 cups of green or white tea a day. I also conceived very quickly in my last two pregnancies with a supposedly sperm-friendly product called "PreSeed", which I purchased on the internet. Unfortunately I did miscarry both times, so I am not sure whether it was of any help. But it has helped many other women conceive and carry to term.
3. If your cycles are getting shorter, take extra Vitamin B6. It can help lengthen our luteal phase (part of cycle after ovulation) and therefore aid implantation. Again, your naturopath can help with the dosage.
Thanks for the advice, I will look into it for sure. I am trying not to get desperate about it. But as you can see my age is the thing I worry about. But I don't feel 42 which is a good thing.
I will let you know how I go, my appt with the naturopath is next month.
i am really sorry for your loss. Why dont you come and join us in the TTC 1 -6 months thread?? the majority of the girls in there are on suplements and the advice is great, plus its nice to have someone to vent to and everyone is really supportive. So come join us if you like.
I dont know how to put links in but we are generally in the new posts section as we all have so much to say!
good luck darls, i hope your forever baby comes along soon.
Sorry to hear of your loss as well. This is a fantatic website for support isn't it.
I am italian as well, so once my family found I was pregnant it was such a joy, but since I have lost bub, it's been great as you can never have enough family to support you. I will try and get that book you recommended.
Both my partner and I are 42, I know it will happen in time.
