TTC after 35

Not a happy day

Good morning, Ladies.

We thought everything was aligned perfectly - got the smiley face on the clear blue - but I guess it wasn't mean to be.  AF arrived surprisingly yesterday morning.  It is such a let-down every month.  I try not to let myself get too excited but I just couldn't help it this month.  My DH has been a great support even though I know he feels let down too.

How do we keep our heads up when time is running so short for our window.  I will be 43 in April.

I do hope this post finds a lot of BFPs for my Bump friends.

  • I'm so sorry.  IF just sucks.  

    As for the age thing, don't give up hope quite yet!  I'm living proof that 42-43 year olds can get pregnant.  My RE told me I could go ahead if I wanted but it wasn't going to work (I called her Dr. Evil)- I was always a poor responder and DH had MFI.   I had one IVF cycle cancelled because I only had 2 follies.  We changed my protocol to MDL and I got pregnant on the next IVF...at age 42 1/2, and I had my daughter at 43.  There is hope- don't listen to naysayers!

    3 IUI's and 2 IVF's later- Brady arrived. Born at 36 weeks after PUPPS and pre-e/HELLP.
    IUI- BFN IVF #1 -BFP! Allie is our 2nd IVF baby. Born at 36 1/2 weeks after pre-e again

  • It doesn't seem like we are having a lot of luck on this board this week.  Lots of AF and no BFPs :( 

    Sorry to hear this- I think it always hurts a little more when we feel like everything went well with the timing.  Hugs to you!

  • Thanks, Beth. I did have that big glass of wine.  I was really hoping for a wonderful Christmas surprise.  I guess there is always the next cycle.  It's just getting really depressing.

    Thank you all for your supportive comments.  It means so much.
