TTC after 35

New to the board.....

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
