New to the board.....

in TTC after 35

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the board but not to ttc, I just went through my 5th IVF cycle. I don't know why I never thought of this board before now. Its hard going through this when you don't have that many people that understand what you are going through.

Well, I am happy to say I did get a BFP on December 15th. HCG numbers went up on the 17th and again on the 20th. I have to go back on the 27th for another blood test to see if everything is on track and then she will need to do an ultrasound to see if it is the uterus. The HCG levels started low so they are watching it. People that know are so happy for me but I am trying not to get to excited after 4 failed attempts.... But, I am always thinking positive......   Big Smile

    Thanks for the support!

    Any questions, let me know! I am 39 and my husband is 45. We tried on our own for a few years and then went to see a specialst in April of 2009. Its been almost 2 years going through this with waiting for cycles and then the testing. I have done 3 fresh cycles and 2 FET.
