TTC after 35

IN TEARS!!!!! NEED TO VENT

I have posted a few times , my name is Sara and am an Army wife . DH just found out today that there is a huge change they are going to change his orders from he and i both going to Italy to him going to Korea or Kwuite. I am so upset , we are TTC after having a miscarriage and now this , It wouldnt be sad bad if i wasnt going to be 36 this year . So that means we couldnt try after he left for over a year till i was close to 38. Im sorry to be a baby , do yall ever feel like your running out of time ?

Re: IN TEARS!!!!! NEED TO VENT

  • I'm sorry, that really, really sucks.  :(  When will he be leaving?  Do you have any time at all to TTC before he goes?

  • We will have 2 or 3 months , but in that time we have to move me to a new house in a new state ,get all his things in order , its crazy .
  • I'm sorry, that's a touch blow to receive. I don't know how you military wives do it, it certainly takes alot of strength to deal with the unpredictability of everything. I would BD like crazy the next 2/3 months even if your busy, make it your priority! Will your DH get any type of leave during that period of time?

    Me 39 & suspected PCOS, DH 42. Went off BCP when we got married in 11/11, seriously TTC since 3/12.  Six cycles of clomid = BFNs.  Suspected endometriosis & HSG showed both tubes blocked.  Sept 2013 IVF 5D transfer of two perfect embryos = BFN.  Started acupuncture and taking time off to drop some pounds & get healthier before FET in April 2014.

    Yes. I'm 38 now, turning 39 in two weeks. I'm so sorry. I know how frustrating it is.

     TTC since August 2011, Me = 40, DH = 38
    Unexplained IF. Tried Clomid for 3 cycles. All BFNs. BFP 1/6/13. Chemical pregnancy.

    Moving on to IVF#1. ER 11/26/13, 16 eggs retreived, 12 mature and all fertilized. 2 blasts transferred on 12/1. All other embies arrested so nothing left to freeze. Beta 12/10 = BFN. IVF #2 March 2014. BFP!!! TEAM BLUE!!!

    Ditto this.

    I would definitely have his sperm frozen and do IUIs.  Also, if he ends up in Korea, any chance you could visit him for a while and just do IVF there?  A couple I know was also stationed in Korea.  His wife ended up going for a few months to visit, and did IVF there.  They said the fertility clinic was amazing, better than a lot they saw in the US, and very cheap.  It worked for them on the first try and they now have a 3 year old son.

    This. Heck-- Taiwan is close to Korea and their health care system is AMAZING! It's one of the best in the world, and it's practically free. Even if you aren't a citizen.

    I am so sorry. MH toys with the idea of re-enlisting, but I have told him that he can't until we have a kid or two. At this rate, he'll be too old to retire from the Army let alone get back into it! Hang in there!

IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left.

    I can't image how hard this will be for you.  I have complete respect for you (and your husband) because of the sacrifices you both have to make due to decisions that are made which are beyond either of your control.  It has to be worse becaus of how they effect your TTC.

    If finances are in your favour freeze his boys and try the IUI.  Better yet, if you can time it, meet up with him and BD like crazy.  I think in the end the cost will likely be the same for you.  Or take advantage of the cheaper foreign IF treatments.

    Do what you can within your means, because you don't want to be 38 and find you are having difficulties and wondering if you had tried at 36 if it would have been easier.

    Just my thoughts. 

    Hope your DH is in deployed to Korea rather than Kuwait.  Either way I hope he stays safe.

  • Is sperm cryopreservation an option for you AT ALL? From now until then, you two could start "stockpiling" it.
  • I hope you can figure something out even if it is to plan some well timed visits. Hugs.
  • Thank you all for the info and for understanding . I am going to check into the freezing of his boys . Im not sure about going to see him . I cant remember if its south or north but one of them they let familys can go , but the other they cant .
  • I for one think the military should pay for IVF, IUI, freezing sperm, etc. Especially given the fact that families already sacrifice so much. I would have wanted to freeze MH's sperm if he and I had been married when he was in Iraq-- "just in case" he didn't make it back...

  • Is the Army making you move, or is this a preference due to his overseas tour? With Korea being unaccompanied, he's a geo bach no matter where you are so you could potentially stay where you currently are.

    It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
  • Oh, and if it's Korea on his orders, it will be South Korea. DOD does not have any service members in North Korea. You can't even travel there. There are several camps in South Korea, and I don't know the rules for any of those individual camps.

  • The Army is making this choice for us . I was an Army brat and lived in Germany and they never did this . Its new
  • You can also apply to accompany him to Korea. I don't know if this changes the duration of his tour, but it's worth looking in to.

  • I am so sorry for the relocation & being separated from your DH!  I am currently temporarily separated from my DH due to relocation & not being able to sell our house yet.  My RE is totally willing to freeze his sperm for us to start IUIs again in September.  I was worried he might not consider it but he did not blink an eye when I asked about it!  I think it is very common.  It is unfortunately expensive if insurance does not cover it as at least my RE requires a full bloodwork panel to check for STDs, HIV etc.  And we are being asked to sign a contract to document what would happen to the sperm if we got divorced, etc.  Hope you are able to work it out to freeze his sperm so you can continue to TTC! 

     

  • Im so sorry and know EXACTLY how you feel. I m/c and then we found out DH was deploying to Afghanistan. We TTC but nothing and then DH deployed for 1 year :( He just got back in Dec and weve been TTC ever since.  Just found out I have low ovarian reserve (Im 37 and DH is 40) and it was a HUGE blow to us. HUGE! I even had all the tests run prior and during deployment to make sure it was okay to wait. Stupid OB ran the wrong tests. Looking back I wish we would have tried harder TTC before he deployed although it would have been hard to have a toddler (with health issues) and a baby.  I even froze DHs sperm to do IUI while he was gone but the stress of life while he was deployed was not good timing.  I feel like we served our country in more than one way (fertility). I am bitter but it is the nature of the beast :(  and we need to move forward not backwards. We are now pursing adoption.  Being a military wife is not easy at all. If you ever need to talk, Im here as I totally understand.
