TTC after 35

No Christmas BFP for Me

Well at least she waited until last night to show her ugly head so she didn't ruin the entire day but AF did show.  Guess it's onto the new RE next week after all.
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.

Re: No Christmas BFP for Me

  • That is so frustrating......sorry to hear that AF showed her ugly face!

    I know how much we hope to see that BFP......But, hopefully the RE can get you there very soon!

    I hope the RE appt., goes well.  I just went to my first RE appt, two weeks ago!

    Best of luck to you.

  • I am so sorry!  I really think there should be a Fertility law that AF cannot show up anywhere near a major holiday.  It just takes the sparkle out of everything.  :(

  • Me neither.  AF showed up the 23rd, which had me at the clinic for baseline bloodwork Christmas Eve before work.  We have been trying for over a year, and while we don't plan any heroics or allopathic drugs, we are trying to establish exactly what our obstacles are.  Best of luck to you for next month.  I have my fingers crossed for both of us!

  • Right there with you...  I agree, BFN put a Bah Humbug into my holiday...  AF came with a vengence this month - I bled heavy from the get go & never bleed like that!  Then to have 2 in-laws that are nurses, one works in a OBGYN office - so she looked at my 3 day test results & said, just relax it will happen.....  I am tired of hearing that.  I am far from obsessed these days.  All I do is take my temp & check CM - I have learned about my body & DH is finally agreeing that I am far from obsessed & not relaxed.  LOL  I guess that is the standard answer "don't worry, just relax & it will happen when you least expect it."  Until I remind them I am 42, turning 43 in April.  Then they repeat it, but with a lot less enthusiasm... Stick out tongue

  • So I was reading in my Yoga as Medicine book, and the one thing that I read 9an din othe rbooks too) is that women hold alot of tension in our pelvic regions. All starting from when we were told, suck in, butt under, shoulders back...because of these type of thing we are just tense in out pelvis's (sp?). So where I am not suggesting you "just relax" I am saying do a check through your body, make sure at night at least you are able to release the tension of your muscles in your body.

    So hopefully that will help someone! I have been trying to release my tension each night, some nights more successfully than others.

  • I can absolutely see that Heather.  Women are always trying to suck it in & stand tall LOL.  I have never done Yoga in my life - so would not know where to start.  I know my long commute to & from work does stiffen up my back - especially on days like yesterday where it was snow & ice up by my office.
