TTC after 35

frequent lurker/infrequent poster providing update (BFP!)

Hi, many of you may not recognize me, occasional poster and frequent lurker. I posted a number of times over the past year as we went through 2 cancelled and 4 failed IUIs. We took the plunge and moved to IVF recently (shared risk at Shady Grove for any DC ladies). My 5dt was Jan 17. I have been obsessively POAS on cheapie internets since Sunday...  and getting BFPs! I am extremely cautiously optimistic and a little psycho really because the lines didn't seem to be getting darker... but maybe it doesn't matter. I did get a BFN last Friday (4dp5dt) so I'm pretty sure it's not the trigger or HCG boost they did during the ER.

This afternoon I used the CBE digital and for the first time in 3+ years saw the word "Pregnant" appear. Whoa.

I do need to step away from the sticks, though. My beta is Monday. Not sure why SGF waits until 18 days after the ER. It's torture!

Please keep your fingers crossed that this guy (or guys - we transferred 2!) sticks! I have unexplained issues and have never gotten a BFP before, ever.

    I am just under the wire - will be 38 in September. I wasn't sure if they'd let me since you are supposed to be able to complete 6 cycles before age 38, I am definitely on the edge.

  • Congratulations! Glad to hear a success story:-)
