Ready to eat a squirrel...

in TTC after 35

(kuddos to whoever said that in a previous post - it stuck with me, but I forgot who it was - sorry!).

So here I am at CD 65 with no AF and a BFN.  I O'd at CD35.  My RE gave me a med to bring about AF - should start next week.  We're meeting next week to talk about our next step.  I've only had 5 cycles since Feb (when we started TTC) and only 1 since I started seeing RE.  We used that AF to run all our tests.  My tests all came back fine - no real reason for such long cycles - just a stubborn body.  DH's SA was 15, then he repeated and came back at 25.  Low count, but everything else is ok.

We'll probably do Femara and start discussing IUI next week.  I take prenatal vitamins and see an acupuncturist.  I've been trying to relax and not stressed, but that's not very successful.  DH has been taking a multi vitamin and now we added Fertility Blend for Men supplement.  We try to eat plenty of organic fruits and veggies too.  I ordered some pre-seed last week and it should arrive today or tomorrow.

Is there anything else we could do?  I use OPKs daily and stop after getting a +.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  My high school health class lied to me - they made it sound so freaking easy....  (sorry this was so long...)

    Unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions for you, but I just wanted to wish you as much peace as you can find in your TTC journey.  Oh, and a BFP!!!

    I've had some of those marathon cycles as well, so I feel for you :)

    Sounds like you are doing everything you can to stay healthy.  Are you temping at all, maybe that would confirm ovulation for you?  Although, with such long cycles, it's a real pain in the butt probably.

    Hope AF pays you a visit soon!

    It sounds like you are doing everything you can. I totally remember the eating a squirrel idea!! Too funny.  Getting pregnant seems so easy for a lot of people.. just not us! Maybe we weren't paying attention in health class and didn't get the secret code?   Good luck on getting AF to show up and on to that BFP!
