Coming out of TB closet (Intro)

in TTC after 35

Hello ladies!

I've been lurking here and there on TB trying to find where I fit best and decided to land here.  I turned 39 three weeks ago and since that time the ticking of my biological clock has gotten unbearable. 

TTC history: Off BCPs in early 2009 when I married DH.  I can't say we were actively trying, since I had no clue about charting, temping, CM, etc...but we were definitely not preventing!  Started charting Oct 2010, but then stopped when my GYN told me to in March.  (I wish I hadn't listened.) Referred to RE in March, but waited until July to follow through because I was in disbelief of needing further assistance.  

TTC current: We are unexplained infertility.  DH has some morphology issues, but from what I've seen--show me a man that doesn't!  We just completed our 3rd unsuccessful IUI and I will go in for my negative blood test tomorrow.   Hmm

TTC has been ruling my thoughts and actions for 14+ months and I need to stop obsessing.  I used to have interests outside of making a baby and I need to try to start focusing on them again.

I look forward to getting to know you ladies and I wish you the best of luck wherever you are in your journey.

    I'm new to TB also, but not to the obsessing. But I too am trying to give that up this year.

     I don't know about others, but charting for me has been both wonderful and frustrating. I still have things I cannot figure out.

    Welcome and good luck!!

    Welcome to the board!  Many of us definitely can relate.  I do not chart, as I know I'd obsess over it, but I do use OPK when not cycling with RE.  Good luck and I hope that you get your BFP in 2012.
