Don't feel bad! I know that you're frustrated and disappointed. This little problem (that isn't little at all) must feel like it's taking control of your life, and that is hard! I think you deserve a good cry over all of this.
And FWIW, I cry almost every time I go to the Dr. I get pretty emotional over even the silliest things.
Not to be too nosy, but was there a reason why? Or just good old fashion hormones?
The stupid methotrexate that I'm on isn't working. Surprise surprise. I've figured out that I'll have to wait 6 months after going off the mtx to even be able to start ttc. That means that even if I get pregnant immediately (yeah, right) I will be 39 by the time the baby is born.

It all just overwhelmed me. Blah
DH and I just decided last night to wait until Jan/Feb to TTC, so maybe we can be TTC buddies. lol Also, my mom was 39 when she had me, and I don't think it restricted her in any way.

::hugs:: If it makes you feel better, I've cried at the doctor's before too. I'd venture to say most people have, so don't be embarrassed.
I am so sorry the mtx isn't working and that it's holding up your TTC plans. Waiting for #2 really does suck. Continued T&Ps that your doctors come up with something that works for you, and things get better.
I'm sorry, big hugs! I think your cry is justified though, you've been dealing with this for a while. Definitely don't feel bad about crying in public.
Don't feel bad about crying at the docs. You're going through a lot and I'm sure your doctor understands. I'm so sorry those meds didn't work. T&P that they figure something else to try. *hugs*
::hugs:: I'm sorry you have to deal with all this crap! I cry at the doctors all the time too... Esp the last time I went. DH has massive anxiety and its wreaking havoc on our family. Gotta let it out, sister!

Hugs and T&Ps Cheekers. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Don't worry about the doc, I'm sure they get that all the time. I know I've definitely cried at the doc before. You just need to sometimes.
awe sh!t, I was really crossing my fingers for you. But like PP said, it's no big deal that you cried at the doctor. I'll never forget at T's 1 weeks appointment the pedi walked into the room (where my mom, T and I were) and I was smiling and fine. She said 'So how's everything going?" me: Fine Her "and the breast feeding?' That was it. Complete breakdown. I was hysterical crying about how horrible it was. I wa sure she was going to think I was a crazy person who couldn't handle life.
Anyway, try to keep your chin up. Better times will be here for you when you least expect it

Aw, I'm sorry the meds aren't working...that just sucks. I don't blame you for being emotional, and it's totally normal to cry in front of doctors, I do it all the time! I know you want another LO too, so I thought I'd send my encouragement from one "mature" mama to another...I'm currently 39 and will be 3 months from 40 when I have this little lady! Sending good, healthy vibes your way, hang in there!
::hugs:: I'm really sorry that you have to go through all this. You are one tough lady. I know a mom who had her 6th baby 2 months before she turned 40 and it hasnt slowed her down one bit.
T&Ps that things start getting better for you soon!

Thank you "mature" mama! Lol! I know it will work out one way or another. I just never saw myself here. I'm 37 now and this was kinda my absolute cutoff age. Of course that was before the stupid psoriasis. Guess I'm learning to roll with the punches, eh?

I'm sorry you're going through all this, but I'm sorry you felt mortified by crying! It's OK to cry!!! You are dealing with so much, you have to let it out from time to time or else you're going to break. Crying is healthy, please don't feel embarrassed by it b/c you don't need one more thing to feel bad about! Sure your doctor isn't a therapist, but he/she is there to help you & support you. I'm sure they didn't mind you letting it all out. (hugs)

Bosha is wise. I agree with everything she wrote.
I'm sorry that this has been such a tough ride. Sending creaky internet hugs from one mature momma to another.

Girl, I'm 38 too. We've got a lot of good years left. Don't let that part get you down! I know a gal at work that was 50 when she had her child. The world is full of possibilities.
As for the other, I'm sorry that the meds aren't working. I can't hardly imagine the frustration you are experiencing.
Re: I am so mortified
This!! With all you have been through, if it was me, I would have cried too.
