TTC after 35

FP is here...

Showed up yesterday afternoon, about 3 days early and with a vengeance. I had to leave work early because my cramps were so bad and I never do that. Ugh.

I know it was wishful thinking that we would get pregnant on a natural cycle but I am still bummed.

I'll go tomorrow morning for CD3 bloodwork and then I'll start estradiol until day 20 and then start meds for IVF  but I'll only go to retrieval if I have 4 or more follicles, otherwise they are going to treat it as if I were planning to do IUI all along.

 

 

TTC since 3/2010. Me 41, DH-49. After 3 years, 6 IUIs and several IVFs we have finally have our beautiful baby girl, born on 11/7/13.



Re: FP is here...

  • So sorry to read this.  AF is being mean and nasty this month - mine was the worst I had had in quite some time, too. I was lucky that the worst part was on Saturday - I was curled up in a ball on the couch.

     Hoping for good things to come!

  • I am so sorry.  Especially the part about the bad cramping.. Why is it that some months are BAD and others are just annoying?  About every 3rd month I feel like I can't function it is so bad..other months I wouldn't even know except for the vanishing box of tampax.  UGH..  Hugs to you.

    Same to you as well!  

    Thanks everyone.

    Not sure what the heck was going on with the cramps this month, but they were so bad they were in the tops of my thighs which was what made me want to get the heck out of here yesterday. What was weird was that I had no symptoms of it coming until it got here. I felt the familiar lower back pain and then all of a sudden it was here. I guess it's better that it got here sooner than later, now I can get started again.

    Fingers crossed for you Llama
