Well I figured it would go this way (children mentioned).

in TTC after 35
Our last attempt to add one more to our family failed. I'm out, and DONE. Pretty sad, but I'll be OK. We have 4 amazing kiddos...so we have been very fortunate already :) We will probably look into fostering, maybe foster to adopt, in a couple years. I know we have room in our hearts for more kiddos....maybe we just aren't meant to have any more bio babies. Trying to look on the bright side, through the tears, I will be doing some sorrow drowning tonight and tomorrow night though LOL. Thanks guys...and good luck to all of you!

    I'm sorry this IUI didn't work. Drown those sorrows if you need to. After that hug your four amazing kids and you can go from there. If fostering is in your future you will be amazing.
    It's been nice to have you around the last few months.
    My thoughts will be with you

    I'm sorry to hear that this is the end of the road for you, but I admire your positive attitude.
    Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

    Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

    UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....

    Sorry I couldn't pop in yesterday. I just want to say that I'm sorry that this last attempt wasn't successful. You will be an awesome foster mom if you decide to be one.

    Take care of yourself and your beautiful family!

    Awww, Trip! I am so very sorry! :(
    I really enjoyed you on this board though, and wish you and your family happiness in all you do. Your kids are beautiful, and you will make a great foster mama some day (if that's what you choose to do). 

    Take care!
