TTC after 35

Returning for the first time since our loss in May

I'm back. I was away for a long time trying to deal with the loss of our first pregnancy in May at 12 weeks. I would have been due on December 17. I have no idea for how long or if I'll stay but for today here I am. At 39 we lost our first and now at 40 we are beginning again with the help of a specialist. I am new to fertility treatment and I don't know all the lingo or the acronyms. All I know is they are taking blood tomorrow and I start clomid on Thursday. If all goes well we will have our ultrasound nest Tuesday and hopefully our first IUI after that. I guess I just wanted to be around ladies like me who are feeling what I'm feeling and can understand how completely terrified I am. I tend to roam the group without commenting a lot but I'll check back in soon if there's anything to tell. Thanks for having me... :)

    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.

  • Welcome back!

    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).

  • So sorry about what you've been through. Time heals wounds one day it won't hurt as bad. It took me a few years to deal with my first pregnancy loss. I saw the heartbeat and two weeks later there wasn't a heartbeat anymore. Wishing you all the luck that your body responds well with the clomid, & iui. Fingers crossed that you get your BFP
  • I'm so sorry for your loss.  Good luck!

After this I am definitely looking forward to staying around and hopefully being able to share good news with you all at some point. Today started the journey and we will take it one day at a time. Again, thank you. :)
