TTC after 35

Good Luck and Good bye

Wednesday ended up not being such a great a day, graduation was fine, dinner was good got home late went to the bathroom and there was blood. My period had come, no cramps, no warning, no nothing, 13 dpiui. I sobbed, DH and I held each other that night and grieved that we are not going to be parents. If you recall this was to be our last attempt.Thursday morning I woke up about 3 to pee and I decided to test in case there was just some random bleeding, it was negative. today it is truly a period, sadly since my lining was a 12 I expect a freakin flood.

My ttc career is over. I just can't believe after all that I wasn't pregnant I had so many follicles popping out I was doubled over...and nothing. I am devastated. DH agreed to try for a year, this is end of year 2, so its over, who everthought I wouldn't get pregnant? How is that evern possible, 24 months and no BFP? Especially when everything is ok, except i don't O regularly, so when I did O under the RE why didn't it work? Sorry I am just at loss, I am angry, I blame myself, I am confused, heartbroken, blame the RE, but in the end I need to begin to move on and recognize that I will be childless.

I wish each and everyone of the absolute best, i don't know how often I will pop in, I need some grieving time. Hugs and baby dust to you all!

    Heather, I'm so sorry for you and your husband. I was really wishing and hoping that this would be it for you.

    I understand that you need to look after yourself, and have a lot to come to terms with, but would love to see you around when you feel up to it.

    Big hugs as you move forward, and wishing you peace on your journey.

  • Siggy warning

    I just want to say don't give up hope. I don't know your whole story but if they have found nothing it may just happen on your own. And if it doesn't go to the best RE around and that's their job to make it work. I have 9 friends with success including myself from RMA of NJ. One it took 13 years and she just had a son, shes 38. Medicine nowadays is amazing and if you find the top people they will help. Best of luck in whatever you choose.
  • I'm so sorry, Heather...
    Me: 42, DH: 43. We are so grateful to have a 2yr old daughter, conceived naturally after 3 miscarriages & no treatments (our Dr. gave us 1 more month to try on our own before advacing to IVF, & we conceived her naturally in January 2010)! Trying since April 2011 without sucess....MD said we were both "fine" & that if it wasn't happening, it was a chromosomal issue. Finally started Follistim 225mcg injections with an Ovidrel trigger November 2012. Bleeding 11 days post Ovidrel on November 25th. Starting the whole lab/Ultrasound/Follistim cycle again on November 27th...

    Please don't blame yourself.  There is no blame.  You can drive yourself crazy trying to assign blame.  I am so sorry that this has happened to you and your husband.  It is so heartbreaking to know there are so many great would be parents who just don't get to realize their dreams. I understand how unfair, heartbreaking, and mentally and emotionally draining that IF can be. 

    I wish you and your husband peace and strength.  Please take care of yourself.

  • Heather,

    There are just no words to describe the feelings of sadness that I have for you.  This thing called IF is just so cruel....I know you have a lot going on and it is just not fair. But, please don't blame yourself....it is not your fault.  Please remember that.  I wish you much peace and serenity, as you move forward on your journey and try to figure this all out.  Take one day at a time and know that we are all here for you.  I will hope to get a post from you one day that reads.  Girls, I got an Oops, BFP!  :)  That is my wish for you.... Please know that you are always welcome here and you will be missed!  

    Sending you Many ((((((((((Hugs)))))))))!!!!!!!!

    Take care, my friend!  ;)

  • I am truely sorry and I hope the decision bring you and your husband peace.  Many hugs!
  • Thank you everyone, I truly appreciate your words of comfort. IF sucks, I wish IVf could have been an option for us, but it isn't and truthfully I don't really know if I could do another round of injections, it was a bit traumatizing for me, all you ladies that have done several cycles, you are my heros!

    Talking to my acupuncturist today and he said well maybe now that you aren't trying, I agree it could happen but I also am trying not to hold onto that thought, because if it doesn't I will be disappointed each month as I have been...so I need to in my head make the decision we are done. Does that make sense?

    Good luck to all of you, may you not come to my fate. Wish you the best, I will stop in occasionally, just wont' be as consistant.

  • I'm so sorry, and I wish this had gone differently for you. Wishing you peace as you move forward. <3

  • I am SO sorry Heather. Sometimes things happen when you least expect them but I can understand not wanting to hold on to that hope for fear of being disappointed again. It's very hard and I pray that you and your husband find peace, strength and happiness to move on. Sending lots of ((((HUGS))))!!
  • I haven't been on TB much lately & wanted to say how sorry I am that this last attempt did not work for you & your DH.  I know I posted to you on the other site, but this message just hit me so hard that I really feel so bad for you two & had to write you again....  Sending huge {{{hugs}}} your way!

    IF sucks!!!  I too have pretty much given up.  I still temp & chart and DH is still taking otc fertility pills - but if it doesn't happen naturally - then it won't ever happen.  Like you IVF is not an option we are going to take.  I am sure you feel like I do - the odds for us does not make sense when you think of the cost out of pocket since neither of us are covered.  Then you can still have a mc - that thought for me was crushing.  It is a hard decision to make & one I went back & forth on for a few weeks.

    I hope we both get our BFP on our own naturally - and soon!  If not, I know DH & I will be vacationing a lot LOL
