TTC after 35

My update...

OK, so I have been kinda MIA lately - lurking about here and there. It was just really hard to try and keep up with the Bump when I knew I was not trying that month. And work has been a beath the last few weeks. But, I am now on CD2 and it's a brand new cycle.

I saw my RE this morning. Everything looks good so I will start Clomid again tomorrow and take days 3-7. He liked the way I responded better on 3-7 than 5-9. I will go in earlier this month for monitoring just to make sure we don't miss it. I go back on CD 12 and we'll see how things are growing from there.

And when it's time, I will trigger and then IUI #5.

I feel very hopeful about this cycle. If it does work, I will be due Jan 12th which is my late brother's birthday. I miss him terribly so having a little one in January would be very good for the whole family.

So, I am back! I look forward to getting to know all the new folks and catching up wiht the old pros. Although I hope none of us stil around this board very much longer.

Let's all meet up on the Jan 2012 boards, ok?!?!
