TTC after 35

DH said no to DE...guess no baby :(

I don't even know what to say except I feel lost. DH is so lucky he is away this week because I can't even look or talk to him right now. Before you ask there is no talking him into this...it's over.

WTF kind of lesson am I suppose to be learning? I just want to crawl into bed and stay there for now. I will never push a stroller,read bedtime stories,or pack a lunchbox with cut out sandwiches. How can I go to a baby shower and 1st birthday party in a few weeks? How can I be excited for my friend doing IVF and not being jealous or envious? Then the friend who is going to email me to say if they are having a boy/girl? Really DH?? Thanks a lot.

I will stop here. I truly wish all the BEST for you ladies and I will miss coming on here. Some of you have been through so much. I called the RE to get names of counselors. Take care and thank you for all your helpful comments.

ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN  DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!

  • Becky :(

    I so understand your pain. Unfortunatley I don't have any words of wisdom or ways to lessen the torture. I also am at the point where acceptance of "the end" is really unfathomable, although it is my reality also. All of the questions are things that I ask myself daily....how will I cope...how will life be life without a child?

    I think I would continue to do ART until it worked....... but I guess the DH has to be the inner voice,( whether it is the voice of reason or not that is debatable).  I wish peace for you and the decisions that have been made...I tell myself that there must be a reason that the universe has chosen this path for many of us.

    I really can't say anything more beautiful that what Pink has said. I wish you peace in the coming days. It's so unfair the cards that some of us have been dealt. I hope someday we find meaning in all of it.   Big big hugs.

  • I am so sorry that you are going through this. It is so unfair to find yourself at odds with your husband over this. I encourage you to seek counseling together. I have a very good friend who is currently divorcing the love of her life because of a similar issue. I look at her and keep thinking "it didn't have to come to this". They could have grieved together and healed together but they didn't. I hope you and your husband can. Best of luck to you!

  • I'm very sorry.  I really hope you guys are eventually able to reach a resolution you can both accept. 
  • I'm very sorry.  That is so incredibly difficult.  My DH and I just had "the conversation" two weekends ago and we decided that 2012 is it for us.  If we're not pregnant by 12/2012 we're stopping ART.  We made a pact with each other that we would keep our marriage front and center through what I'm sure is going to be an emotionally charged year.  I hope you and your DH are able to make a similar pact and come together to heal together.  I'm not lecturing, only expressing what has helped me...I keep trying to remember all of the reasons I married DH (the least of which was the quality of his sperm) and everything I love about him.  Hopefully you and your DH will be able to devise a plan that will keep you strong as a couple and figure out how to create a different but equally fulfulling life than what you had originally planned.  ((big higs)) to you!!!
