TTC after 35

Intro (loss mentioned)....

Hi ladies,

Would like to join you all.  I am 39 yrs old and trying to conceive my 2nd child.  We have a daughter who is 3 1/2. 

I previously had an ectopic pregnancy that resulted in emergency surgery and the removal of my right tube.  We just started TTC 10 months ago and after 4 cycles of Clomid, we got our first BFP!  Well, about a week ago after my HCG levels didn't rise after several tests over the course of a few weeks, we found out my pregnancy was not going to stick.  I scheduled a D&C, but started to miscarry naturally this weekend at about 7 1/2 weeks.  This is my first miscarriage and it sucks. 

I'm off to see my RE in 2 weeks to see what is next. 

Things about me:  I'm a hospital administrator and my husband is a military jet pilot.  He travels a lot for work.  We live on the water in NC currently and love it.  We boat and travel a lot and life is good (other than these awful fertility issues we've had!!! Grrrr.) 

Anyway, just wanted to say hello and start posting here!  Hope you're all well.

Re: Intro (loss mentioned)....

  • Hi and welcome, @laurakaz13! I'm really sorry to hear about your losses. You sound very strong and like you're dealing with it in very practical ways, by going to see the RE as soon as possible. I hope your next BFP is just around the corner and leads to a healthy pregnancy.

    My husband and I love the NC beaches and I'm jealous of your waterfront living! :) Do share your insider tips. ;)

  • marijaa333  Let me know what you'd like to know about the NC beaches.  We live near Emerald Isle/Atlantic Beach, but have a house on an inlet in New Bern.  It's awesome and affordable and we absolutely LOVE it. 

    It's more country than I ever thought I'd tolerate, but we really enjoy it.
