TTC after 35
I was wondering..
If I am the only one who is feeling discouraged.??? I feel like this BFP will never happen. AF came today (A day early with literally no symptoms..) I was just wondering if anyone has felt this way?

Oh yes, I feel like this frequently. I just can't imagine ever seeing two lines on a pregnancy test. Sometimes, I go lurk on SAIF just to see all the women who had trouble eventually have success. It makes me feel better. I figure they probably felt like this a lot too.
Sorry about AF.
When I was TTC #1 I felt like that every single month for a total of almost 17 months. I know that's not as long as some people, but it does start to get to you.
Try to keep your chin up--you all are headed in the right direction and your DH's latest prognosis are making things so much more possible!
No you are not. I am too. I feel exactly like you. I have AF symptoms today and know she is coming. For the first time in my life, I am really starting to think that a BFP may never happen for me (or at least not without a lot of ART intervention).
Keep hanging in there though. I do know a lot of stories of couples who felt hopeless and ended up pg one way or another!
I think it may not happen for me at least once a day. And I'm just getting started with everything, but my [old] age is really making me feel discouraged. I'm already thinking about the financial implications of treatments and/or adoption and I haven't even been to the RE yet. ::sigh::
Sadly, at this point, I feel this way on a daily basis.
I feel like it is going to take a miracle to get and keep me PG.
Like hav2run, this has been the longest two years of my life too - but even if I have the thought that this will never happen - even for a fleeting moment - I stop myself from thinking it immediately. I am very, very hopeful that this WILL happen for me. I won't lie, it's very hard to be in this position, but I remain hopeful no matter what...
That's it. Onwards. What else can one do?
I hope you feel alittle better today Baze babes.
Yes - I have felt this way. I think it is quite common...kind of a roller coaster ride of emotions each cycle....
(((HUGS)))
Yep, and I think it's normal. I have days where I just can't even *fathom* wtf is going on...I mean, I have two kids already, what is so hard about making another one?!?
Then I have to remind myself that I'm not in the driver's seat on this and take one day at a time.
Yes,I'm smiling...I'm a marathoner!

Amye,
I'm sure your DH has said this to you, but let me say it, anyway:
Your husband would rather be with you than anyone else in the world - reproductive issues or not.
(((hugs)))
Hi, Baze.
I hope you're feeling better today!
I certainly feel discouraged at times. It's hard not too, when it's the same old cycle of determination, then hope, then disappointment month after month. It's emotionally draining.
What has helped me, other than the fantastic women on this board, is to give myself permission to take a break whenever I feel I need to.
This month, for example, I'm not temping. I didn't feel like it, that's why!
Awww thats so sweet. Thanks.
I know he don't judge me but I know it hurts him as it does me when we have another fail. Big thing is his parents are in their 70's so he wants them to know their granschildren before they pass and sometimes it's alot of pressure on me when we fail.
Hoping this October will be lucky one though.
I'm hoping October will be lucky for you, too - and that his parents live a good, long time and get to enjoy many years with the grands!
