TTC after 35

not quite what I was expecting...UPDATE

Today is 12 days after my ER.  I started spotting this morning, and now it looks like my period is here.  I am trying to tell myself that I wouldn't get my period if I am on Endometrin, but I'm not holding on to a lot of hope.  I think the fact that my period is coming through -- even on the Endometrin -- is just a sign of how not pregnant I am. 

 My family is here for Christmas, and I am pretty sad.  Maybe I'll get a surprise, but I am not too hopeful.

Merry Christmas and big hugs to all of you!

**update** Thanks for all of your kind words!  The spotting has stopped!  I took a pregnancy test, which was negative, but I am keeping my fingers crossed!

  • Hi, owl -- I hope it's not AF.  Some ladies get pretty heavy spotting when pg.  When's your beta?  Would you consider testing on your own?  That way you won't have to wonder.  12dpo you should get a pretty good but not fail-safe read.  Fingers crossed for you.
  • I hope it's just heavy spotting. FX for you!

  • I hope that negative turns into a BFP...

    This month AF for me came on heavier than I can ever remember in my entire life.  I felt it was like her saying "oh yeah, you think that HSG will help & you are praying for a BFP - well sorry, instead you will bleed so heavy you have to change all day long"  ugh.

    I will be waiting to hear an update from you & hope it is a good one Smile

  • I am thinking good thoughts for you and sending some hope your way.  After my first IVF (I forget how many days later) I started spotting fairly significantly and I was DEVASTATED. I was positive we were out, but lo and behold I ended up being pregnant that month.  I so hope it works out for you.  You deserve it! ((Hugs))
