Introduction
Hi. I haven't posted anything on any sites yet. I don't know if I should be on TTTC (we've been trying for a year) or TTCAL (we miscarried May '10). But I'm 36, so I know that I fit here. :-)
My poor DH. After the m/c I was an emotional wreck (more than usual!). I didn't even want to have sex in case we got preg and m/c again. Now, we're seeing a fertility specialist. (I'm a little better, but I have my moments.) So glad that I work for a Catholic hospital- insurance is paying 90%. They put me on Femara this past month. But since only one follicle looked like it was going to mature, they put off the IUI. Maybe next month.
The nurses and the doctor that I'm working with keep saying things like, "Next month we'll do blah blah blah, but maybe you'll get pregnant this month and you won't have to worry about it!" That is so frustrating! I don't want you to sugar-coat it. Don't try to cheer me up with false hope! Let's just plan on doing what we're going to do, and if, by some miracle, some oversight by the fertility angels, I do get preg, that HOORAY! But until then, just stop.
Anyways, hello, ladies.

Hey there,
Welcome to the board. Sorry to hear about your loss. I'm surprised your doctor wouldn't do the IUI with one follicle. That's all I ever get. Not to be a negative nelly but your insurance is unlikely to cover IVF since the church is against it. Hopefully you won't need it but just throwing it out there. How were your test results?
TTC #1 since 8/1/10; Me:41 and BRCA1+, DH:46
DOR (FSH 24.3)/ terrible egg quality ; homozygous MTHFR c677t
5 IUI's: 2/11 to 6/11 and 1/12= BFN
OE IVF#1-4 8/11-6/12= all BFN
DE IVF#1 11/12 bad embryos= BFN
DE IVF #2 2/13 BFP/Beta hell: m/c 5w6d
CFNBC 7 months, not doing well; decided on guarantee program at RBA w/frozen DE

Welcome! I fit on 3T and TTCAL, too. And IF. There should be a Bump award for the person who follows the most boards : ). But this is my "home" and I know you'll like the crazy, cool chicks here.
Sorry for your loss. I was also a basket case after my m/c. Hormones sent me over the edge.
And I totally get why you don't want sugar coating from your doc.
I think you'll find there are a lot of very smart, fun women on this board who are both practical, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive.
GL to you!
