New to TTC after 35

edited July 2014 in TTC after 35
Hello all! I am new to using the bump and any blog forums for that matter.

My husband and I have been attempting to conceive since 2010, and I have PCOS. We attempted Natural at first, but now we are trying with chlomid. We are on our fourth cycle, and TTC #1. Might have O for the first time in years.

Me-36
DH-29 (yes I've been called a cougar, but we've been together 7 wonderful years and married for 4)

We were foster parents and were attempting to adopt a little girl who had been placed with us. The DCBS gave is hope we could and then Friday they called and informed us that Bio Grandparents had decided to step forward and take her in. She leaves us this Friday so I have a difficult week ahead of me.

Praying that we are blessed with our own!

ME:37 DH:30

MARRIED: 07/19/2010, TTC #1: 07/19/2010

DX: PCOS, First IUI: 10/01/2015, BFN

    Welcome! You've come to the right place. :)
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    Thank you guys for the warm welcome! I've been search through this forum and 3T and I think I need to be here. But I'm also learning a great deal from 3T, like the fact that I'm not getting monitored correctly and need to see about a RE instead of my OB. I realize there is so much I don't know, and around my home there is no one to talk to about it, seems they are all popping out babies left and right and have no understanding of our pain. So I'm glad I located you lovely ladies.

    Hope your stay here is short and you get a BFP soon!

    Hi welcome so sorry about the little girl being placed with her grandparents. My parents raised a lot if fister kids throughout the years. So I know how it feels to get attached to someone and then they get taken away from you. You definitely need to be monitored while taking clomid, some pretty bad things can happen if not monitored. I hope your stay here will be short, good luck in your TTC journey

    Welcome! Glad you are finding our little corner of the internet useful! I am so sorry to hear about the foster>adoption didn't work out. I've often thought I would love to do fostering, but I'm very sensitive and not sure I could deal w/ the emotional roller coaster. You & your DH are a strong couple and I admire that!

    Best of luck on your road to a BFP!!

    That sounds so heart breaking. I'm sorry. My friend just went through something similar in fostering.

    Good luck for a short stay here!
