TTC after 35

Looks like AF is on her way... son of a b**$%^t

Started spotting this morning, a whole freaking day early. I thought progesterone was supposed to keep AF away, apparently not in my case. I have a beta on Monday but I'd rather go in for a baseline and not waste an appt or blood test when I already know the answer. I don't feel like starting late in my cycle again like I did last time, everything felt off for some reason and I def had one follie that was much bigger than the others even though the others did end up maturing.

My RE only does HSG's on Tuesdays so I imagine since I'll still have AF next week I'll have to wait until the following week which is fine.

Hubby was not happy last night, he questions the whole idea of interferring w/ mother nature, thinks we'd have a better shot trying on our own and does not like the idea of me putting this strain on my body. He thinks RE is pushing IVF to quickly and he just doesn't feel like we're at the point to make that decision, my response to him is that we don't WANT to be at that point where we start making desperate decisions because time is running out (that's our RE's view as well). I hate all this, I'm supposed to be a mother already goddammit..

  • Thanks Ladies,

    Just spoke with RN and she thinks its totally weird that I'm bleeding early again. WTF, she said it was definately out of the ordinary especially while on progesterone, usually they at least see a delay in AF but not coming early! And with the last cycle my progest levels were still quite high on day 5 of AF, so it's clear that the suppositories are working. She said they'll look at my bloodwork and see if anthing strange is going on but other than that I can do another cycle right away.

    My lining was already at 10. something two days before the IUI, is there any such thing as having a too thick uterine lining?

  • That sucks - I'm sorry. Lame.
    Me:39 Dx LPD, Fibroid, AMA and all that goes with that. H:37 Dx low motility and low morphology. TTC since 3/12. Clomid 8/12 and 9/12: BFN. 11/12 on a break for Myomectomy sched. 11/26. Resume TTC early 2013.
  • I'm so sorry.  I hate the emotional roller coaster that we are all on.

    That is odd that your AF looks like it is starting early while on progesterone.  I usually have to be off of it for a few days to get anything started.
