Introduce yourself and anything you think is important: early spontaneous loss at 6 weeks in Aug 2021, MMC with D&C at 12 weeks in Feb 2022, CP last month

Status: WTO, third cycle back TTC again after the D&C

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I’m chugging along. I try to stay positive, but with my 40th birthday coming up in a few months I am starting to think this may not happen for us. I know people have babies over 40 all the time, but if I couldn’t make one at 38 or at 39 it’s hard to see how it will happen at 40. My OBGYN has told me twice now that we should seek out the IVF clinic, but I am still not sold that they will be able to help us. I’m lucky in the sense that I seem to get pregnant fairly easily, but I just don’t seem to be able to stay pregnant. So I’m not sure how much IVF could help, except maybe with genetic testing to ensure a viable embryo? I’m just not sure if it’s the right choice for us. 

GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning, or for date night? I have a 5 minute makeup routine that I rarely do, mostly because I work freelance from home and I rarely see other humans. I don’t add anything for date night because my husband is really not into makeup, but also we never go out. Wow, I am really making my life sound glamorous over here 😂

Lots of losses 5 maybe 6, I don't know I have lost count.  Big loss at 14 weeks of twins in 2013. 

Status: On Hold

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well?  I'm just hanging out, we are definitely questioning if some of our loss issues are related to sperm quality following a low fertilization rate on our IVF cycle. 

Any testing coming up/any recent results  H is having surgery to remove his vericocele. 

Questions? Nope

GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning, or for date night? Copy question, but I am a five minute human and an hour human for date night.
