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.
Julie

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!
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!
BFP #1 2-1-11 Missed Miscarriage 3-14-11(9 wks)-D&C
BFP #2 9-17-11 EDD 5-29-12
Edward James born 3-14-12 weighing 1lb11oz at 29w1d via c section due to low fluid and growth restriction from crappy placenta.

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.
TTC #1 since 4/10, Dx: MFI IVF planned for April/May
