Waiting out AF, but would like to join the group!

So 2nd day of AF after m/c but I have an appt with my RE on Wednesday to discuss next steps. If you had ever asked me in the past few years, if I'd be here with two bfps and two miscarriages within a year I would have never believed it, but here I am.
I'm 39 will be 40 this summer, my most recent bfp my edd was the day after my 40th, so it will be bitter sweet. Our very first bfp in 12/10 was a total surprise, we only bd once that entire month, but lost our son at 16wks, our last bfp we ttc for 4 months and then did a timed cycle with a trigger and it worked, however I had for some strange reason produced 3 follies naturally that cycle. Last loss was due to trisomy 14.
Our RE has discussed next steps as being injectables, due mainly to age and according to him, the hopefully quickest route to getting another bfp, but we'll see after our appt on wed.
I'm terrified either way of what the future holds for us. I never expected we'd have such awful luck in our journey to conceive. I was always steadfast that if we didn't conceive naturally I wouldn't pursue any treatments, but that changed quickly after our first bfp and m/c. And now that I'm staring down 40 I cant imagine going through several more months of ttc..
I hope all our stays here are short and sweet!

I remember your story about losing your son due to an infection from the CVS, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Like you I am also staring down the great big 40, got pregnant relatively quickly on our first try, but lost a girl due to Trisomy 13. After my D&C it's been very hard. I had assumed (wrongly) that since we got pregnant so easily the first time, that it wouldn't be hard to get pregnant again. I am close to 1 year now since that first BFP. My DH has 0% morphology and I'm sure my egg quality is crappy so we are pursuing IVF with ICSI.
I wish you best of luck on your journey and hope your stay here is short.

I hope your stay is short and sweet too!
I did my first round of injectables and triggered today...
I was so scared of doing the injectables and its actually not so bad, I was terrified the 1st time then I had to do 2 shots, 1 for the meds and 1 for me not to ovulate, and then today was my last injection of the trigger shots.
Good Luck and also go to the Infertility board if you want to ask questions about the injectables bec I think more people on that board would know the answers!
Hi and welcome to the board. I'm sorry for your losses. I don't think anyone ever thinks they won't be in the quick bfp and healthy pregnancy group. It's quite a blow when you find out otherwise, but you're doing all that you can do - just keep going until/unless you decide enough.
Good luck on Wednesday and may your next bfp be your take home baby.
So sorry for your losses.
Good luck to you and I hope your stay here is short and sweet!

I had a few friends who had passed NT scans with flying colors only to give birth to children with downs, so that tainted our decision. I would have never terminated, but I wanted to at least know in advance.
I will never do any of the invasive tests again, we were naive about the risks, had total reassurance from my OB that the test Dr. was the best there was, and the genetic counselor told us the rates of m/c were very exagerated for the procedure. Of course I'd love to punch them all in the face now but we can't go back and change the past.
We actually aren't even going to do the other screening tests next time except for the ultrasound scan, after discussing w/ high risk OB he said all the tests are based on statistics, and are just a way of saying they can predict what will happen but in reality there's no way to do so, so in his own words he said it's kind of like lying. Statiscally we've been batting zero, so I don't have much faith in the numbers game anymore..
