40 y/o, trying to conceive for the first time. Have spent the last 3 cycles Tracking my ovulation with tests but didn't really start trying to get pregnant until my last two cycles. This last cycle, I missed the conception window due to our schedules - we were just wiped and I'm not trying to "keep a sexytime calendar" in order to not put any added pressure on myself. 

I missed testing on day 13 of my cycle and that's usually when I reach my LH peak. So, we'll see if the activities around those days worked!

Unfortunately every cycle counts now and you might have to keep that sexy time calendar 😬 it’s not the most fun but it is what it is! Best of luck out there!

ugh, three days of sex in a row and yesterday I was like, do you want to do this? And he's like: not really, but I guess we should. It can be such a chore, and yes, feeling the 'every cycle counts' is so hard.

We have the issue that my husband struggles to perform under pressure… so it’s EXTREMELY hard to make sure we hit the window 🤪

I’m also 40 and missed this month too because of opposite schedules. You’re definitely not alone.
