TTC after 35

New to this board

Hello everyone, I have lurked on and off of TB community for a number of years. I would like to introduce myself to this board. I am feeling that I could use the support and would love to be able to think I could perhaps support others. Brief intro to my story. I have a 15 year from a previous relationship. My DH and I have been TTC since our wedding in Novemer 2010. In November 2011 had BFP (two days before Dr appointment to explore infertility). Ended up ectopic. Spent Christmas in and out of emergency room for methedexdrate treatment. Had to wait minimum 3-4 months before able to TTC again. Tried natural methods (naturopath for 3 years, acupuncture for 1.5 years). In August 2014 first visit with fertility doctor. Diagnosed with idiopathic (unexplained) infertility. First round of IUI October 2, following ferma for 5 days, ovadril. DH post wash sperm count 94 million, 85% motility. 2 follicles 22/17. Currently in 2WW. The journey is long and hard. Thanks for listening. I wish everyone luck in their journey.

    All welcome

  • Hi welcome, hope yr stay here is short. Here's to fx that you get ur BFP this cycle
  • Thanks everyone for the welcome. It is quite the journey we are all on and it's nice to have other people who really get it. I have super, amazing and well intentioned friends, but they don't get it. It gets frustrating that this one thing that should be easy for us, is terribly difficult and there is really nothing we can do about it. I feel like we have done all the right things, but still no luck. My husband says I'm impatient, but four years is a long time! I look forward to being apart of this supportive community.
