TTC after 35

Hello- newbie here

Good morning. I have been a lurker for a while and decided it was high time to introduce myself. My name is Amy-36 husband Josh- 31. We have been TTC since August 2010 with no luck. I am currently sitting at home recovering from an exploratory lap from yesterday. What should have been a simple look ended up with me losing an Ovary and tube. But from what I understand that is a blessing in disguise since that ovary was keeping me from getting pregnant. So now I have six months of Lupron suppression before we can get back in the game. Hope you all are having a good week.

  • Hi and welcome!

  • Welcome to the board. It's great that you have a good attitude despite your nasty surprise yesterday. Get well soon and I hope these next 6 month fly by and you get to all sorts of fun things before starting a family.
  • I decided a couple of months ago the only way I can make it through this discouraging processes was to rely on God and count my blessings in all things. I have been reading a book called 1,000 gifts that talks about looking for all the gifts we are given. Such as sunrises, puppy kisses, flowers from my parents, etc. Don't get me wrong I still get down but having a reason as to why I kept getting cysts and was having problems is a relief. I know the rest won't be easy, especially the Lupron part, but I can look forward to getting to try again instead of hearing really, really bad news from the lap.
