Introduction

in TTC after 35
Hello! My name is Leslie and I will be 40 in September. I have been lurking for a little while and wanted to say hello! We are going to be starting to TTC #3, hopefully in mid-September if my body cooperates. I will be taking 10 days of provera starting on 9/1 to jump start AF since I rarely ovulate on my own.
Our oldest son was conceived after 3 years of infertility (2 years of treatments) and is 22 months. And our second son was conceived on our first treatment cycle in our journey to TTC #2 - he is an angel who was born sleeping at 18w on 6/15/12. Both of ours sons were conceived through injectable/iui cycles so that is what we will be starting with in September. The one difference this time is that my DH will be traveling quite a bit and so we have frozen his sperm to use in the event he is not home. Has anyone done this before & been successful?
I am going through several different emotions as we are closer to TTC again. I am different person after our recent loss but am still hopeful that we will have another child in our life next year and together as a family we will remember & honor our angel!
I hope to find support here as well as support y'all throughout your journeys! Thank you! I look forward to getting to know you better but hope at the same time that our stays are short and sweet!!

Welcome, Leslie! I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, but I am also hoping your stay here is short.
These ladies are a great source of support for each other - we all cheer each others ups and lean on each other during the lows.
Good luck!!
