TTC after 35

Boy was I wrong......(BFP warning)

Ladies........i was expecting to jump back onto the boards again (for more that the last couple days) to start again after going through a crazy busy work schedule the last month or 2.......but I got a BFP this lovely afternoon.

I was frustrated with my absent AF with what felt like yet another just off cycle and to my absolute surprise i got what felt like a squinter positive blue dye test. I just took a digital and it is definitely saying PG. I am shaking out of control. 

Hubby thinks I had my period cause i was scheduled to have it while he was out of town. 

We were NPNT and i can say that we only did the deed once cause i was sick this month and couple that with super super busy......IDK how it happened. 

Im terrified and a little scared.

Re: Boy was I wrong......(BFP warning)

  • Congratulations! Hope to join you soon. I am convinced this board is a good luck charm and on fire right now. :)
    me:41   dh:43 
    Off Mirena Nov 2013, On Nuvaring end of Jan, Back off Sept 2014.  Never ending cycle starting end of Sept... 
    11/14 Provera failed... cycle continues 
    12/14 High FSH (57 "midcycle")  OBGYN had no clue... about anything 
    01/15 More lab results coming back from RE. U/S showed small (1")cyst on left ovary, thin lining, and couldn't locate right ovary so  possibly straight to DE and IVF 

    Occassionally mess with the chart below to see "what if" and learn (not to make it pretty but because FF stays drunk with me).

  • Holy shit and potatoes!!!!!!

    And to think I was so convinced last month when your period was late that you are pregnant. This month I didn't think you were because of the diet. I'm so glad I was wrong. This is absolutely wonderful news!!!!

    Tell your hubby ASAP so you can both enjoy this together and stop your worrying.

    Even though you have been scarce the last few months I will miss you around here.
    I spend half my bump time stalking all my friends who have graduated to the PG board.

    Woooo hoooo congratulations

  • Congrats :D great way to tell him  Hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy. 
  • @KirstenAlecia that was such a great story.
    You are going to be an amaxing mom, raising a child with a loving spouse is so different that doing it alone. Let him help and be involved as much as he can. I know I had trouble with that. I was so used to doing it alone that is was weird to ask for help or just hand over some of the responsibility.
    I wish you the happiest healthiest 9 months.

    Me: 37 DH: 37, married since Sept. 2013. "actively" TTC for a total of 13 months (after 7 months of TTC, took a 1 1/2 year hiatus due to work scheduling and wedding planning. Started up again after our wedding in Sept.) First evaluation by an RE November 2013

    HSG-normal
    OH-tiny polyp found, but RE assured me she doesn't think it's contributing to infertility and doesn't recommend me to remove it because it's so small.
    DH's SA-normal
    Hormones all within normal levels
    Ovarian Reserve-RE says "is great" she's not concerned about my egg quantity (which I was until I saw her and results came back good!) 

    04/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    06/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    11/2013 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger=BFN (prescribed by RE, monitored with US (2 dominant follicles) and baseline bloodwork done)
    01/2014 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger-(prescribed by RE, monitored with US-1 dominant follicle)=BFN
    06/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger (prescribed by RE, monitored with US-2 dominant follicles), IUI #1 on 7/3/14=BFN
    07/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, benched for IUI#2 this cycle, because I ovulated on my own before my follicular US. Progesterone suppositories=BFN Diagnosed with PCOS this month too. Testosterone levels high at 76. =( 
    08/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger with 19mm follicle. IUI#2 on 8/31 cancelled last minute due to family emergency. 
    09/2014 Taking a 3 month break starting this month. If not pregnant in 3 months, will start up again with medicated cycles and IUIs. Had all my labs and AFC re-evaluated this month also. RE says nothing much has changed since my eval last November, okay for me to take a little break. =) 




  • Congratulations!!  Now that is a welcome back!  Hope your pregnancy continues beautifully!
  • Congrats!!
  • yay yay yay i knew that one time was a charm!
