I'm back...and apparently a little cranky

in TTC after 35

Hi ladies-I am back in town after being away for training camp for about 3 weeks. Still in camp mode, but at least I am sleeping in my own bed at night now!  I've been lurking and keeping up with you all, posting here and there. Hopefully now I will have some more posting time.

I don't have much to report, just that even though we timed things well this month and I put myself on progesterone for 10 days, FP showed up yesterday. (Shocker) I was spotting a little bit and really tried not to let my head go to the much talked about but rarely seen implantation spotting, realizing it was probably the progesterone causing that. I will admit that I did test yesterday morning just to make sure.

Anyway, so here we go again.  This cycle will be unmedicated and then I will start with my new doctor sometime in September. Not really sure what to expect, but hoping for some better results of course.

On another (kind of bitchy) note, I am really getting tired of the people around me getting pregnant. I feel like every freaking time I turn around another person is effing pregnant, or their wife is, or they had trouble the first time but got pregnant naturally the second time. I wish everyone well in their family planning efforts (or lack thereof) but I am so tired of getting lapped by people. There are a couple of women pregnant at work (one hasn't announced yet but I'm sure she is), i just saw a post on FB from my old next door neighbor and his new baby (2nd) and then of course my extremely fertile friend just gave birth to her 6th on Friday.  It's her 5th girl. I just want one.

My face is tired of putting a smile on it every time I hear this news. I know so many of us can relate to this situation and I am preaching to the choir.   I think all of this news this weekend just threw me a little bit. Oh, and then last night I got home from a very long work day, and noticed that Real Simple sent me a complimentary issue of their "Family" issue with kids on the front which I promptly picked up and threw in the garbage. Thanks but no thanks.

This has turned into more of a rant than I intended, but I guess it was bothering me. Thanks for reading, and glad to be back.
TTC since 3/2010. Me 41, DH-49. After 3 years, 6 IUIs and several IVFs we have finally have our beautiful baby girl, born on 11/7/13.

    Welcome back and I totally can sympathize with the crankiness - seems like everything on FB lately has been about friends annoucing they are KU or posting pics of their babies.  Getting old real fast!
    Me 39 & suspected PCOS, DH 42. Went off BCP when we got married in 11/11, seriously TTC since 3/12.  Six cycles of clomid = BFNs.  Suspected endometriosis & HSG showed both tubes blocked.  Sept 2013 IVF 5D transfer of two perfect embryos = BFN.  Started acupuncture and taking time off to drop some pounds & get healthier before FET in April 2014.

    Everything you have experienced recently would be hard by itself but add AF to the mix and it has to be unbearable!  Hugs to you!

    Welcome back! I totally sympathize. The two people I work most closely with at work are pregnant and they talk to each other about it all the time. Why can't that be us?

IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!!

    Welcome back! Hopefully everything works out with this new doctor. Sorry about the pg pp. I just realized I have no way around this issue with friends. MH and I had a cookout sat...3 babies! This sat I have a get together with a good friend and kids will be there including her baby. It's pretty hard to have friends that don't have kids.

    ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

    DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN  DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!

    Hi twin! Smile

    I've been out of pocket as well, so this is somewhat of a welcome back post for me.

    I was just remarking last week that I am getting tired of shopping for everyone else's baby shower, so no, i don't think you're off base.

    Sorry this cycle didn't work, and hope things go better with the new RE next month.

    IVF #1: 9/13/12. ER: 9/25. 3R, 2M, 1F. ET: 9/28 (1-6B). Beta: moved from 10/11 to 10/10: BFN.
    IVF #2: 11/12 cycle postponed due to Sandy and then cancelled due to elevated E2.

    IVF #2.2: 2/2/13. Converted to IUI. BFN
    IVF #3.0: 3/2014. BCP & Microdose Lupron.  Cycle cancelled due to poor response.

    Thanks everyone! I'm a bit less cranky now, maybe I was slightly more sensitive as it was CD2 when I wrote that, but I still feel the same way.

    Isgabriel, I forgot we have the same birthday :) Welcome back to you as well!

    TTC since 3/2010. Me 41, DH-49. After 3 years, 6 IUIs and several IVFs we have finally have our beautiful baby girl, born on 11/7/13.
