Getting pregnant at 40.

[Pottyone]

For various reasons we had to delay trying for a 2nd child. Now, after trying for more than a year, the doc has agreed to some tests. We started trying just after my 39th birthday and now 14 months later I am feeling really dejected about it. My blood tests showed no initial problems.We fell straight away with our first. Can anyone offer me some hope, that it can take this long? I feel so blessed to have had one child, especially now, but desperately want him to have a brother or sister.

I may be stating something that you have allready done...but anyway...Have you bought a ovulation kit..You are only ready to catch for about 72 hours per month. There is no real point doing it any other time. (when on a mission)

Hello, No I haven't bought any because I am one of these people that gets very strong ovulation symptoms anyway. I get a lot of pain, and always know which ovary my egg is coming from. I also get other aymptoms 2 or 3 days before I get the egg pain too. I have always been proved right, my cycle is 28 days long but the odd occasion it has been longer I have always known beforehand as I have ovulated later than usual too.
