in TTC after 35

Hi ladies.  I lurk here every once in a while, but I've never posted.  I usually post over on GP on TN, and they're a great group of women, but there aren't very many women over 35 there.  I think it hit me when one girl said she was 23 and her mother was 44.  Since I'm trying to be a first-time mom at 41, I felt a little (whispers - old).

My name is Sophia.  I'm 41, and DH is almost 46.  We have been trying for 13 months/11 cycles.  We went through all the testing in May (b/w, s/a, HSG, SHG, surgery to remove a polyp in my ute), which showed that DH is fine, but that I have diminished ovarian reserve.  We were supposed to start an injectible IUI cycle in June, but my body has been supremely uncooperative for the past two months.  First it was an annovulatory cycle.  Then it was two small cysts on my right ovary that were producing too much estrogen for me to start my meds.

Anyway, I don't know how often I'll be able to post.  I just wanted to reach out to some women who were closer to my age.  Thanks for reading, and GL to all of you in your journeys!

    Welcome!   There are also a reasonable number of DOR ladies on the Infertility board too, but there's a lot of cross-over here.  Hope your body starts cooperating with you so you can get going on your IUI !

     Welcome Sophia! This is a good place for us "old" ladies.  I'm 40, my DH is 41.  I'm with ya - I've been on other boards but when I start seeing girls in their 20's posting...I just can't deal :)  I'm pretty new to the board myself, but everyone is really great for support!

    Welcome......I use IF and TTC after 35.  When I first came here I felt like I was only one who was doing IVF.  Needed the IF board for their knowledge on the subject.  This is my home board though-and the place that I feel most comfortable.  I hope that you will make the time to post.   Hope that you stay here goes quickly and your BFP is just around the corner.
