I've lost 10 inches...

in TTC after 35

...of hair.  I donated 10 inches of hair to Locks of Love this weekend.  Since this was my 4th time doing it I knew the drill but I forgot how good it feels - both physically because I have really thick hair & a lot of it so I feel like I can literally hold my head higher and emotionally becuase it's such a good cause!

In TTC news, I caved and tested this morning (12 DPO) and got the expected BFN.  Felling very PMSy so I have a feeling that once again this will not be our month.  At least I have a new do to be happy about.  

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.

    Wow, that was really nice of you to donate your hair.  I work in a salon on Saturdays & we rarely get someone willing to cut their long hair like that...

    I hope you are wrong & we get to celebrate your BFP this cycle...

    So awesome that you donated your hair! Sorry about the BFN though :(

    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!!

    That is wonderful of you to donate your hair! I could probably do that, but i don't know if I want short hair!!! but I have been contemplating it of late. A thousand years ago in high school, I went from down to my butt to a practically a crew cut.....I don't have the guts for short anyymore!

    Good for you, I know someone will be very happy to receive it!

    That's awesome. I'm growing my hair out so I can donate it. It's pretty long already, but has lots of layers, so I'm growing it to one length.

    I'm kind of excited about doing it, but kind of nervous too. I like my long hair.
