Hola! I'm new.

coco305

Wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I just had my first IVF stim cycle in August and I'm waiting for my FET at the end of October. I have 3 embryos on ice. 
A little about me: I'm 41, and I've been TTC for about 7-8 years. As much as I love my friends and family, no one fully gets how hard this road is. Hoping to join a supportive group, where I can help and be helped. Excited to get to know you all.

Hello!  Excited for you to be joining us on the FET thread, too!  It's true, I think its pretty much imoossible to "get it" unless a person has gone through it themselves, hate to say.  But we get it!!! ❤❤❤  Congrats on your three little embies!  Did they ever give you a diagnosis?

Hi...I'm new too. Wish you the best!  Sometimes I'm not sure where to turn, and as you said - fam and friends are great but sometimes I feel as though all I'm doing is explaining the process more than anything else.

@BusinessWife hi! Thx for the welcome! I have PCOS, a blocked Fallopian tube and I'm 41. I was married before, and at that point we were dealing with male infertility as well. I got divorced, and basically accepted the fact I would never have kids. Then I met my now husband, and my hope was renewed ❤️  Neither of us have children and we both have always wanted a family. But it's a hard road to open up these emotional wounds again. (I'm sure you all get it!) I've also had nightmare stories with REs, but I finally found a great doctor. 

@jaygrand hi!! It's nice to meet you! Hopefully we can all lean on each other through this journey.

Welcome! I have PCOS and 3 embryos also so much in common! It's amazing you closed the door on having a baby and then had a renewed hope in your new marriage. It's really hard to relate to friends and family so it's great to go through all of this together. What is your protocol going to be??

Welcome @coco305 good luck with the transfer in October! I’m also 41... actually turning 42 this month. 

Are you doing medicated FET? When will your transfer be?

coco305

Thank you  @prudence9-2 I just turned 41 a couple days ago, glad I'm not the only one here in the 40s club. I will be doing a medicated FET, I have PCOS and my cycle is an unpredictable hot mess. My transfer is scheduled for 10/26.

@coco305Happy Birthday!!! 

 We’re a small club. But there are definitely more women here in their 40s.

Welcome @coco305!  I’ll be joining the 40s club next week.  I’ve been here basically all year Jan-June and back at it in September.  We’ve only got one PGS normal so far so are keeping at it (IVF). How exciting that your transfer’s this month - good luck!

Welcome and congrats @coco305! It is definitely an interesting path that only some have to walk - and it's certainly difficult trying to relate to those who haven't struggled with IF or gone down the IVF route. Do you have an estimated FET date?

coco305

Hi @MamaK225 thanks for the welcome! My estimated FET is 10/26. Baseline is tomorrow, and I'm currently on a 12-14 day lupron protocol. Shits getting real! (It's my first IVF)
